Gold Buy Call #XAUUSDGold has broken out of a key resistance level at, $3,265 with strong bullish momentum and above-average volume, confirming the breakout. This move is supported by rising RSI and MACD crossover, indicating strength in the trend. The breakout from the consolidation zone signals renewed investor interest, likely driven by macro uncertainty and safe-haven demand. Traders can consider initiating long positions at current levels with a stop-loss and take profit levels defined in the charts.

Gold rises strongly and bulls restart!At present, the support of the 4-hour cycle is around 3330. If there is a chance of a decline, you can follow the bullish trend. In terms of short-term gold operation ideas, it is recommended to do more on pullbacks and short on rebounds. The upper short-term focus is on the 3415-3420 line of resistance, and the lower short-term focus is on the 3330-3350 line of support. Friends must keep up with the rhythm. It is necessary to control the position and stop loss, set stop loss strictly, and do not resist single operations.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, Another great day on the charts with our analysis playing out perfectly. After completing our bearish target yesterday, we stated that we would now look for a test at 3344 to complete our Bullish target and then a cross and lock will open the level above or failure to lock above will follow with a rejection into the lower Goldturns. - This played out perfectly. We got the 3344 target hit, as analysed, followed with no cross and lock above 3344 confirming the rejection into the lower Goldturns just like we stated. 3306 Goldturn provided the support and bounce and if this levels holds, we will see a retest above or a further cross and lock below will open the lower Goldturns. We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends. The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

Gold - 25% crash to 2650, then pump to 7000! (must see)A crash to 2650 is very likely in the next few weeks! Why? Let's take a look at the most popular oscillators - RSI, MACD and STOCHASTIC. Let's start with the RSI indicator on the monthly chart. The RSI indicator moves between 0 and 100. What we can see here is a strong horizontal resistance at the 85 level in the overbought region. Every time gold hits this strong resistance, a huge crash follows, specifically in 2006, 2008, 2020, and now in 2025. So this is a sell signal. We don't want to chase gold, while the RSI indicator is at such high levels - we want to wait for a pullback. The next is the MACD indicator - the histogram hit a new all-time high on gold. We have never seen such crazy levels on gold. The histogram is currently too far away from the 0 line, which is a sign of an extremely overbought market. What we want to do here is to wait for the histogram to return to 0 and buy. There isn't really any bearish sign on the MACD indicator yet, but if you want to wait for a confirmation, then wait for a first downtick on the histogram and sell. The last very popular indicator is STOCHASTIC . This indicator pretty much screams to sell, because both lines have been in the overbought territory since 2023. Plus, we have a bearish crossover this month (if the candle closes like today's price). To see this bearish crossover, you have to zoom in. So this indicator is giving us a bearish signal to sell gold. Additional bearish reasons: The first reason is that the price of gold just hit a major trendline on the monthly chart. Monthly charts are incredibly powerful, so you want to make sure to know what is going on here. Always trade with a valid trend. The next reason is an untested POC on the volume profile. This POC is exactly at 2650, so this should be a great buying opportunity! Please write a comment below and let me know what you think about this upcoming crash on GOLD?

Gold – Bulls in Control, but Watch Key Support Gold remains extremely volatile. After finding support around 3200 at the beginning of the month, the price surged nearly 2500 pips within just three trading days, reaching above 3400. Currently, the price has pulled back and has tested the 3360 zone over night– a former resistance turned support. Two Scenarios to Watch: - Bullish Case: If 3360 holds, bulls could push for a retest of the 3500 zone. - Bearish Case: A clear break below 3360 would confirm a lower high, potentially opening the door for a deeper correction back to 3270. For now, I’m on the sidelines, waiting for more clarity around this critical support.

XAUUSD: Latest Analysis Strategy SignalsThe gold market was volatile last week, with the sharp moves catching many traders off guard. After hitting an all-time high of 3,500, gold prices fell by more than 2,000 points in less than 24 hours! After the plunge, the market stabilized slightly and towards the end of the weekend, gold prices established strong support around 3,370 points - as we discussed in last week's analysis. At the same time, we can clearly see a bottom around 3,270 points, and at the time of writing, gold prices are testing this level again. - Price action remains vulnerable below the 3,370 resistance level. - The 3,270 support level looks fragile and pressure to break through is increasing. Trading plan: I plan to sell on rallies above 3,300 points with a target price around 3,200 points.

Gold's Trend and Trading Strategy for Next WeekLast week, the price of gold sharply declined after hitting the resistance level of $3,500, dropping to around $3,260 at its lowest point. The weekly chart closed with a bearish inverted hammer candlestick pattern, suggesting a sharp short-term downward momentum. However, on Friday evening, the gold price rebounded near the support level of $3,260 and regained the $3,300 mark. Combining the current fundamental and news-driven analysis, gold remains in an overall upward trend: Technical Analysis Although the weekly inverted hammer pattern indicates selling pressure at higher levels, the rapid rebound from the bottom to reclaim the key $3,300 level signals the persistence of bullish momentum. If the short-term decline fails to effectively break below the strong support at $3,250, the gold price has the potential for a rebound. Trading Strategy Next week, it is recommended to adopt a bullish bias and focus on long positions. Consider entering near $3,283, with a stop-loss set below $3,260. The upper resistance levels are sequentially $3,331 (short-term resistance) and $3,370 (target after breakthrough). Risk Warning Be vigilant against shocks to gold prices from sudden geopolitical news or changes in Federal Reserve policy expectations, and strictly control position sizing and stop-loss levels. I hope this strategy will be helpful to you. When you find yourself in a difficult situation and at a loss in trading, don't face it alone. Please get in touch with me. I'm always ready to fight side by side with you, avoid risks, and embark on a new journey towards stable profits.

Sideway range, gold price accumulates below 3302⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold price (XAU/USD) kicked off the week on a positive note, rising toward the $3,271 level during Monday’s Asian session as a blend of geopolitical and economic concerns fueled demand for the safe-haven asset. The prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict, coupled with renewed tensions in the Middle East, continues to elevate global risk sentiment. Meanwhile, lingering uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump's tariff agenda has added to investor caution, further supporting the appeal of gold as a hedge in times of instability. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Gold price continues to accumulate, low amplitude at the beginning of the week, waiting for the most important interest rate information this week ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone : 3302- 3304 SL 3309 TP1: $3290 TP2: $3280 TP3: $3270 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $3204 - $3206 SL $3199 TP1: $3215 TP2: $3224 TP3: $3240 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable SELL order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

Learn the Harsh Truth About Success & Failure in Trading The picture above completely represents the real nature of trading: We all came here because we all wanted easy money. Being attracted by catchy ads, portraying the guys on lambos, wearing guccies and living fancy lives, we jump into the game with high hopes of doubling our tiny initial trading accounts. However, the reality quickly kicks in and losing trades become the norm. The first trading account will most likely be blown . In just one single month, 40% of traders will be discouraged and abandon this game forever. The rest will realize the fact that the things are not that simple as they seemed to be and decide to start learning. The primary obstacle with trading education though is the fact that there are so much data out there, so many different materials, so many strategies and techniques to try, so the one feels completely lost . And on that stage, one plays the roulette: in the pile of dirt, he must find the approach that works . 80% of the traders, who stay after the first month, will leave in the next 2 years. Unfortunately, the majority won't be able to find a valid strategy and will quit believing that the entire system is the scam. After 5 years, the strongest will remain. The ones that are motivated and strong enough to face the failures. With such an experience, the majority of the traders already realize how the things work. They usually stuck around breakeven and winning trades start covering the losing ones. However, some minor, tiny component is still missing in their system. They should find something that prevents them from becoming consistently profitable. Only 1% of those who came in this game will finally discover the way to make money. These individuals will build a solid strategy, an approach that will work and that will let them become independent . That path is hard and long. And unfortunately, most of the people are not disciplined and motivated enough to keep going. Only the strongest ones will stay. I wish you to be the one with the iron discipline, titanic patience and nerves of steel. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

Gold: The Start Of The C Wave (Extreme Danger!)After the FED announces their business Gold (XAUUSD) is likely to crash-down and hard. I will support my statement with data coming from this chart. The crash doesn't necessarily need to happen instantly. My idea is that we are witnessing a classic ABC correction in Elliott Wave Theory terminology. Let's dive in. » Trading volume peaked in early April and has been dropping considerably. » The ATH session ended as a very strong bearish (reversal) signal. » There is a strong bearish divergence with the RSI. The RSI peaked February 2025 while Gold (XAU) peaked recently. Here is the chart: Currently, Gold is showing a bounce until the resumption of the corrective bearish move. Gold is set to move lower based on my interpretation of this chart. Approach with caution, or, go SHORT. You can't go wrong by shorting the top/resistance. Sell at resistance, buy at support. Namaste.

GOLD may enter accumulation when the market lacks impact Spot OANDA:XAUUSD prices were broadly steady in Asian trade on Friday (April 25) after a sharp rise in the previous trading day. The current price of gold is around $3,341/ounce, down from the $3,371 price target that readers noted in yesterday's edition. Spot gold prices jumped on Thursday, snapping a nearly 3% decline the previous day, helped by a weaker US dollar and bargain-hunting as investors kept a close eye on the latest news on tariff negotiations. Market Highlights Gold prices rebounded on Thursday after their biggest drop this year as bargain hunters entered the market, Bloomberg reported. China's official broadcaster CCTV reported Thursday that the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is considering a plan to impose tiered tariffs on China, and White House press secretary Levitt said Trump's stance on tariffs on China "has not softened." "This is all fake news. As far as I know, China and the United States have never consulted or negotiated on tariffs, let alone reached an agreement. This tariff war was initiated by the United States, and China's attitude is consistent and clear: if you want to fight, we will fight to the end; if you want to negotiate, the door is open. Dialogue and negotiation must be equal, respectful and mutually beneficial," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun. Cleveland Fed President Hammack made it clear in an interview on Thursday that the Fed has essentially ruled out a rate cut in May. But she also delivered a key message, saying that if there is clear evidence of the economy’s direction, there will be room for policy action in June. When asked if a rate cut was possible in June, Hammack said: “If we get clear and compelling data in June, then I think the committee will act, assuming we have a clear understanding of the right path for policy at that point.” Markets reacted quickly after Hammack’s remarks, with interest rate swaps indicating the likelihood of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in June rising to around 65%. Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD After achieving the target increase twice, which readers should pay attention to in the previous day's publication at 3,371 USD, the price point of the Fibonacci retracement of 0.236%, the recovery momentum of gold is being controlled and limited. In the short term, gold is likely to enter a sideways accumulation phase, waiting for more fundamental breakthroughs. The expected accumulation area is around 3,371 - 3,292 USD, which are the positions of the Fibonacci retracement of 0.236% and 0.382%. However, with the current position, the main outlook is still bullish in the long term with the trend from the price channel as the main trend and support from the EMA21 as the main support. During the day, the expectation of short-term accumulation in the main uptrend will be noted by the following levels. Support: 3,300 – 3,292 USD Resistance: 3,371 USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3411 - 3409⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3415 →Take Profit 1 3403 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3397 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3204 - 3206⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3200 →Take Profit 1 3212 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3218

XAUUSD Channel Up intact and targeting the 1D MA50.Gold (XAUUSD) has been trading within a Channel Up since the October 30 2024 High and is currently on its latest technical Bearish Leg. The last pull-back tested the 1D MA50 (blue tend-line) before rebounding again. As you can see the Low that this pull-back made was also on the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. On the current Bearish Leg, the 0.618 Fib is at 3155 and can make contact with the 1D MA50 within 1 week. That is our short-term Target, but depending on the Fed Rate Decision on Wednesday, it may be achieved earlier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Trading Psychology Trap: The Dark Side of Hedging a Bad Trade⚡ Important Clarification Before We Begin In professional trading, real hedging involves sophisticated strategies using derivatives like options, futures, or other financial instruments. Banks, funds, and major institutions hedge to manage portfolio risk, based on calculated models and complex scenarios. This article is not about that. We are talking about the kind of "hedging" retail traders do — opening an opposite position at the broker to "protect" a losing trade. It may feel smart in the moment, but psychologically, it can be a hidden trap that damages your trading discipline. Let’s dive into why emotional hedging rarely works for independent traders. ________________________________________ In trading, there’s a moment of panic that every trader has faced: "My short position is in the red… maybe I’ll just open a long to balance it out." It feels logical. You’re hedging. Protecting yourself. But in reality, you might be stepping into one of the most deceptive psychological traps in trading. Let’s unpack why emotional hedging is rarely a good idea—and how it quietly sabotages your progress. ________________________________________ 🧠 1. Emotional Relief ≠ Strategic Thinking Hedging often arises not from a solid strategy, but from emotional discomfort. You don’t hedge because you’ve analyzed the market. You hedge because you can’t stand the pain of a losing position. This is not trading. This is emotional anesthesia. You’re trying to feel better—not trade better. ________________________________________ 🎭 2. The Illusion of Control Opening a hedge feels like taking back control. In reality, you’re multiplying complexity without clarity. You now have: • Two opposing positions • No clear directional bias • An unclear exit strategy You’ve replaced one problem (a loss) with two: mental conflict and strategic confusion. ________________________________________ 🎢 3. Emotional Volatility Rises Sharply With two positions open in opposite directions: • You root for both sides at once. • You feel relief when one wins, and stress when the other loses. • Your mind becomes a battleground, not a trading desk. This emotional volatility leads to irrational decisions, fatigue, and trading paralysis. ________________________________________ 🔄 4. You Delay the Inevitable When you hedge a losing position, you don’t fix the mistake. You prolong it. Eventually, you’ll have to: • Close one side • Add to one side • Or exit both at the wrong moment Hedging here is just postponed decision-making—and it gets harder the longer you wait. ________________________________________ 🧪 5. You Build a Dangerous Habit Hedging out of fear creates a reflex: "Every time I’m losing, I’ll hedge." You’re not learning to cut losses or reassess your strategy. You’re learning to panic-protect. And over time, you start to rely on hedging as a crutch—rather than developing real confidence and discipline. ________________________________________ ✅ The Healthier Alternative What should you do instead? • Cut the loss. • Review the trade. • Wait for a fresh setup that aligns with your plan. Accepting a losing trade is hard. But it’s a sign of maturity, not weakness. Hedging may feel clever in the moment, but long-term consistency comes from clarity, not complication. ________________________________________ 🎯 Final Thought Emotional hedging isn’t about strategy. It’s about fear. The best traders don’t hedge to escape a loss. They manage risk before the trade starts —and have the courage to close what’s not working. Don’t fall into the illusion of safety. Master the art of decisive action. That’s where real edge lives. 🚀
