As gold's rally stalls, do bears have a chance?Technical aspect: Gold is currently fluctuating in a narrow range around 3310, and the short-term direction is not clear. However, the rebound potential is relatively weak, but for the London market, gold's willingness to retreat is not strong; however, from a technical perspective, the current gold structure is still biased towards bulls, and gold still has the potential to continue to rebound to the area around 3330, or even the area around 3350; However, after the rise of gold stagnates, we still cannot aggressively chase gold in trading, one is to prevent technical retracement after the sharp rise of gold; the other is to prevent the retracement of gold in order to grab liquidity after the rise of gold stagnates. In the short term, the support area we must pay attention to is in the 3285-3275 area, followed by the 3260-3250 area. If gold cannot break through the 3320-3330 area in the short term, gold may still continue to test the support area. Trading strategy: 1. If gold still cannot effectively break through the area around 3320 in the short term, you can consider trying to short gold in small quantities around 3310-3320; TP: 3280-3270, set up protection to prevent gold from continuing to rise to 3330 or even 3350; 2. Consider going long on gold when gold retreats to the 3285-3280 area, set up protection to prevent gold from continuing to retreat to the 3260 area.

7 Gold Trades That Banked Over $2,500 LAST WEEK – Steal My StratMy strategy is straightforward: I trade order blocks, target premium/discount zones, and capitalize on liquidity sweeps. When these three signals align on the chart, I enter without hesitation. Gold triggered a strong reaction off a bullish order block at $3192-3120 after forming it on May 15th( also can be seen as STB), confirming a robust uptrend and a global reversal from a deep discount zone( can be seen on 4h time frame). For the bullish momentum to solidify, price must break and close above $3250 So i will keep an eye on GOLD chart and prefer long trader to shorts

5/21 Gold Trading SignalsGood afternoon, everyone! In yesterday’s trading, our buy-side positions performed well, but unfortunately, sell orders around 3280 weren't closed in time, resulting in a partial loss of profit. Today, gold has shown impressive strength, breaking above the 3300 level and forming an irregular inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. Technically, this implies further upside potential. 🔍 Based on price action and technical patterns, this rally could extend beyond 3330, and even test 3350+. However, the 3346–3369 zone marks a strong resistance band, making it an ideal zone for medium-term selling opportunities. 📉 On the downside, we identify the first major support at 3278, followed by the 3261–3246 zone. 📰 On the news front, several Fed officials expressed economic concerns in speeches early this morning. Meanwhile, reports of Israel preparing to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities fueled safe-haven demand, pushing gold strongly back above the 3300 mark. 📌 Today's Trading Strategy: Sell between 3346–3373 (consider scaling in) Buy between 3260–3243 Flexible trading in the zones: 3338 - 3326 - 3318 -3309 -3298 - 3288 - 3272 Lastly, a heartfelt thought: Living in a peaceful country like China, it's truly heartbreaking to see so many innocent children suffering or even losing their lives due to war. Let us hope for peace soon—so all people may live safely, freely, and happily.

“Gold Surfer – Is Wave 5 About to Begin?”📈 This daily Elliott Wave analysis of the gold market (XAUUSD) tracks the impulsive advance from the September 2022 low ($1614). We now stand at a critical juncture: has Wave 4 completed, opening the path for Wave 5? 🔹 **Aggressive Scenario:** If the correction (ABC) is over, a new bullish Wave 5 could take gold first toward the $3884 zone, and potentially to expanded targets of $4126–$4275. 🔹 **Conservative Scenario:** If the correction continues, alternate patterns (flat, triangle, or complex correction) may still unfold. However, as long as price holds **above $3120**, the bullish wave structure remains valid. 🔻 **Invalidation Level:** $3120.86 🟢 The wave structure so far aligns with Elliott’s classic principles, and the bullish momentum still has room to unfold. – Patterns whisper.

Gold Gains on US Credit Downgrade, Tax RiskTVC:GOLD OANDA:XAUUSD Gold (XAU/USD) surged to a one-week high of $3,306 on Tuesday, fueled by rising concerns over the U.S. economic outlook. The metal benefited from a weaker dollar, following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and renewed fears over President Trump’s proposed tax cuts, which could add $3–5 trillion to the national debt. Global risk sentiment also took a hit, with ongoing U.S.-Japan trade tensions and muted progress in U.S.-China talks. Technically, gold is approaching key resistance at $3,306. A firm breakout above $3,306 would signal bullish continuation, while short-term support lies at $3,288 and $3,240. The RSI around 60 suggests consolidation may precede another push higher. With central banks citing U.S. policy uncertainty and geopolitical risks lingering, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains intact. Resistance : $3,306 , $3,364 Support : $3,288 , $3,240

5/20 Gold Trading SignalsGood afternoon, everyone! Last Friday and yesterday, gold did not reach our primary buy or sell zones, instead moving within a narrow range. We captured two trades, gaining about $32 in total movement, resulting in moderate but stable profits. After opening today, the price pulled back toward the 3200 area, which holds technical support. However, resistance remains dense above, especially between 3226 and 3243. For bulls to break through, stronger momentum and volume will be required. On the news front, there are no major economic events or key speeches scheduled today, so technical trading will dominate. Currently, gold continues to consolidate. If intraday volatility remains limited, traders can look to buy low and sell high within the 3243–3189 range. Watch for resistance around 3226 and support at 3198 as key technical levels. 📌 Trading Strategy for Today: 🟢 Buy Zone: 3189 – 3168 (Near support, suitable for bottom fishing) 🔴 Sell Zone: 3267 – 3288 (Close to resistance, good for shorting) 🔄 Scalping/Flexible Zones: ▫️3198-3218-3226-3238-3247-3255 📌 Note: Maintain proper position sizing, set clear take-profit/stop-loss levels, and stay flexible. If there's unexpected news or a breakout during the U.S. session, strategies will be adjusted accordingly.

Gold Stuck Between 3250 and 3200 – Watch the Breakout!After another week filled with violent price swings, Gold started this week on a much calmer note. Yesterday, after filling the Asia open gap, price pushed up to test the 3250 resistance, only to reverse and fall back toward the 3210 support zone. 🔺 A triangle is forming… but which way will it break? Since last Thursday, price action has been forming an ascending triangle — a pattern that typically favors upside breakouts. But for this to play out, we need a clean break above 3250. If that happens, we could see a fresh 1,000 pips move up in the short term. 📉 What if 3200 fails again? A break back below 3200 would cancel the bullish structure and likely send price toward the 3160 support, or even further down to the 3100 zone. 📊 Trading Plan: For now, I remain on the sidelines, waiting for a clear breakout in either direction. No need to rush — the breakout should bring strong momentum either way.

Gold Price Soars After Moody's US Downgrade: What's Next?Gold's Resurgence: A Deep Dive into the Moody's Downgrade and Market Tremors The world of finance is a complex ecosystem, where a single event can trigger a cascade of reactions across global markets. Recently, such an event unfolded as Moody's Investors Service, one of the leading credit rating agencies, delivered a significant blow to the United States' financial standing by downgrading its sovereign credit rating. This unexpected move, occurring after a period of notable decline for gold, sent shockwaves through the financial landscape, prompting a sharp rally in the precious metal's price. In the early hours of Asian trading, gold surged by as much as 1.3%, reaching approximately $3,245 an ounce, a clear testament to its enduring appeal as a safe-haven asset in times of uncertainty. The Catalyst: Moody's Downgrade and its Implications Credit ratings are critical indicators of a borrower's ability to meet its debt obligations. For a sovereign nation, its credit rating influences borrowing costs, investor confidence, and its overall standing in the international financial community. Moody's decision to lower the U.S. sovereign credit rating by one notch, from the pristine Aaa to Aa1, was not taken lightly. The agency pointed to a confluence of persistent and concerning factors. Chief among these were the United States' chronic budget deficits, which have shown little sign of abatement despite various economic cycles. Moody's also highlighted a perceived erosion of political will and institutional strength to effectively address the nation's deteriorating fiscal trajectory. The growing burden of national debt and the escalating costs of servicing this debt were explicitly mentioned as significant concerns underpinning the downgrade. This wasn't the first time the U.S. had faced a credit rating downgrade. In 2011, Standard & Poor's (S&P) stripped the U.S. of its top-tier AAA rating, a move that also sent tremors through global markets. The parallels are noteworthy, as both instances underscored deep-seated concerns about the sustainability of U.S. fiscal policy. A sovereign downgrade, particularly for an economy as pivotal as the United States, has far-reaching consequences. It can lead to higher borrowing costs for the government, potentially impacting everything from infrastructure spending to social programs. Furthermore, it can dent investor confidence, leading to capital outflows or a re-evaluation of risk associated with U.S. assets. The immediate market reaction to Moody's announcement was a textbook flight to safety. The U.S. dollar, typically a beneficiary of global uncertainty, found itself under pressure. As the world's primary reserve currency, the dollar's value is intrinsically linked to the perceived strength and stability of the U.S. economy. A credit downgrade, by questioning that stability, naturally led to a weakening of the greenback. This weakening, in turn, provided a direct tailwind for gold. Gold is priced in U.S. dollars, so a cheaper dollar makes gold more affordable for investors holding other currencies, thereby stimulating demand. Simultaneously, U.S. Treasury bonds, long considered one of the safest investments globally, experienced a sell-off. This might seem counterintuitive, as a flight to safety often includes government bonds. However, a credit downgrade directly impacts the perceived creditworthiness of those bonds. Investors demand a higher yield (return) to compensate for the increased perceived risk, leading to a drop in bond prices (yields and prices move inversely). The Treasury yield curve, which plots the yields of bonds with different maturities, steepened, indicating greater uncertainty about longer-term economic prospects and inflation. U.S. stock futures also registered declines, reflecting concerns that higher borrowing costs and diminished confidence could negatively impact corporate earnings and economic growth. Gold: The Evergreen Safe Haven Amidst this turmoil, gold shone brightly. Its rally was a classic demonstration of its role as a premier safe-haven asset. Throughout history, gold has been a store of value, a tangible asset that retains its worth when paper currencies or other financial instruments falter. Its appeal transcends economic cycles and geopolitical shifts. Unlike fiat currencies, which can be devalued by inflation or government policy, gold's supply is finite, giving it an intrinsic scarcity value. In times of economic stress, such as those signaled by a sovereign credit downgrade, investors flock to gold for several reasons. Firstly, it acts as a hedge against currency depreciation. If the U.S. dollar weakens significantly, holding gold can preserve purchasing power. Secondly, gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation. If a government resorts to inflationary policies to manage its debt burden, the real value of money erodes, while gold tends to hold or increase its value. Thirdly, in periods of heightened geopolitical risk or systemic financial instability, gold provides a sense of security that other assets may not offer. It is a universally accepted medium of exchange and store of wealth, independent of any single government or financial institution. The downgrade by Moody's amplified concerns about the U.S.'s fiscal health, a narrative that has been building for some time. Commentators pointed to over a decade of what they termed "fiscal profligacy," where successive administrations and Congresses have struggled to implement sustainable long-term solutions to the nation's growing debt. The phrase "ticking debt timebomb" resurfaced in financial commentary, underscoring the anxieties surrounding the long-term implications of current fiscal policies for the world's largest economy. These anxieties naturally fueled demand for gold as a protective measure. Adding another layer to these concerns were reports of a U.S. House panel approving proposed tax cuts, which, according to some economic analyses, could add trillions more to the national debt, further exacerbating the fiscal imbalance. The Preceding Slump: A Market Breather The vigorous rally in gold prices was particularly striking given its performance in the preceding week. The metal had been on a downward trajectory, poised for what was described as its steepest weekly decline in six months. This earlier weakness was primarily attributed to a strengthening U.S. dollar and an apparent easing of trade tensions between the United States and China. When geopolitical risks appear to subside and economic optimism grows, investors often rotate out of safe-haven assets like gold and into riskier assets, such as equities, in pursuit of higher returns. This is often referred to as a "risk-on" environment. The announcement of a 90-day pause on tariffs between the U.S. and China had injected a dose of optimism into the markets. This temporary truce in the protracted trade war improved investor sentiment, reducing the perceived need for the kind of insurance that gold provides. Consequently, capital flowed towards assets perceived to benefit more directly from improved global trade and economic growth, leading to a pullback in gold prices. However, the Moody's downgrade swiftly reversed this trend, highlighting how quickly market sentiment can pivot in response to unexpected news. Navigating a Complex Web of Global Influences Gold's price is rarely determined by a single factor. It is subject to a complex interplay of global economic data, geopolitical developments, central bank policies, and investor sentiment. While the Moody's downgrade was the immediate catalyst for the recent rally, other elements continue to shape the landscape. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in various parts of the world provide a persistent undercurrent of support for gold. Any escalation of conflicts or emergence of new geopolitical flashpoints can quickly send investors seeking refuge in the yellow metal. Furthermore, mixed economic data from major economies contributes to market volatility. For instance, softer-than-expected economic indicators from China, the world's second-largest economy, can dampen global growth expectations and influence risk appetite, which in turn affects gold. Statements from key policymakers also carry significant weight. Comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding the potential reimposition of "Liberation Day" tariffs if trade negotiations with certain partners were not conducted in "good faith" served as a reminder that trade uncertainties remain. Such pronouncements can easily reignite concerns and support gold prices. The Long-Term Horizon: Bullish Undertones Persist Despite the short-term volatility, many analysts maintain a constructive long-term outlook for gold. Several underlying factors are expected to provide structural support for the precious metal in the coming years. One such factor is the potential for ongoing U.S. dollar weakness, driven by the country's twin deficits (budget and current account) and a gradual shift by some central banks to diversify their foreign exchange reserves away from an overwhelming reliance on the dollar. This diversification trend, if it continues, could provide a sustained tailwind for gold. Moreover, the policies of major governments and central banks can also influence gold's trajectory. For example, periods of expansionary monetary policy, characterized by low interest rates and quantitative easing, can reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold (which yields no income) and potentially lead to inflationary pressures, both of which are typically gold-positive. It's important to note that gold had already demonstrated strong performance in 2025, even before this latest surge. Year-to-date, the metal had appreciated significantly, reportedly by around 23%, and had even briefly surpassed the $3,500 an ounce mark for the first time in history during April. This underlying strength suggests that broader market forces were already favoring gold. Major financial institutions have also echoed this optimistic long-term view. JPMorgan, for instance, has projected that gold could average $3,675 an ounce by the end of the year, with a potential to reach $4,000 before the close of 2026. Similarly, Goldman Sachs maintained its forecast of $3,700 by year-end and a $4,000 target by mid-2026. These forecasts often consider a range of scenarios, including the path of Federal Reserve interest rate policy and the likelihood of a U.S. recession. Even with expectations of delayed Fed rate cuts and a potentially lower U.S. recession risk, these institutions see considerable upside for gold. Investor Strategy in a Shifting Landscape For investors, the recent events serve as a potent reminder of gold's role in a diversified portfolio. While gold can be volatile in the short term, its ability to act as a hedge against various risks makes it a valuable component for long-term wealth preservation. The Moody's downgrade and the subsequent market reaction underscore the importance of not being complacent about sovereign risk, even in developed economies. Retail investors might consider gold through various avenues, including physical bullion (coins and bars), gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the gold price, or shares in gold mining companies. Institutional investors, such as pension funds and endowments, often allocate a portion of their portfolios to gold as a strategic hedge and a diversifier. The key is to view gold not as a speculative tool for quick profits, but as a long-term strategic holding that can provide stability and protection during periods of economic or geopolitical stress. The optimal allocation to gold will vary depending on an individual's risk tolerance, investment goals, and overall market outlook. Conclusion: Gold's Enduring Relevance The sharp rebound in gold prices following Moody's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating is a multifaceted event with significant implications. It highlights gold's unwavering status as a safe-haven asset, its sensitivity to shifts in U.S. dollar valuation, and the profound impact of sovereign creditworthiness on global financial markets. The downgrade served as a stark reminder of the underlying fiscal challenges confronting the United States and their potential to create ripples of uncertainty that benefit traditional stores of value. Looking ahead, investors and market observers will be keenly focused on upcoming U.S. economic data, pronouncements from the Federal Reserve regarding monetary policy, and the evolving geopolitical landscape. While short-term fluctuations are inevitable, the fundamental factors that have historically supported gold – its role as an inflation hedge, a currency hedge, and a crisis commodity – remain firmly in place. As the global economic and political environment continues to navigate complex challenges, gold is likely to retain its allure as a critical component of a well-diversified investment strategy, a timeless guardian of wealth in an ever-changing world. The recent bounce may be more than just a fleeting reaction; it could be a reaffirmation of gold's enduring value proposition in an era of increasing uncertainty.

The market trend is highly consistent with the chart analysisGold opened with a gap up today, returning to the decline starting point near 3,252 last Friday before falling again. The short-term trend has entered a repeated oscillation, but the key level of 3,200 has not been broken.👉👉👉 On Monday, the international gold price rebounded by more than 1%, boosted by a weaker U.S. dollar and increased safe-haven demand. Gold first fell to the 3,206 level before recovering to the 3,250 level, reversing the early session decline. Gold has been under pressure in recent weeks as markets gradually digest stagflation expectations and reprice rate-cut expectations. The market now expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates by about 58 basis points by the end of the year, compared with the peak expectation of 120 basis points during the panic in April. From the analysis of the 4-hour chart, the lower support continues to focus on the vicinity of 3170-75. The primary support level is the 3150 threshold, and the important resistance to pay attention to is 3270-3280. Overall, within this range, the main tone of participating in a cycle of selling at high levels and buying at low levels remains unchanged. At intermediate positions, it is advisable to observe more, act less, and be cautious about chasing orders. Be patient and wait for entry at key points. XAUUSD trading strategy buy @ 3215-3220 sl 3195 tp 3235-3240 If you think the analysis helpful, you can give a thumbs-up to show your support.
