Manipulation Completed – Gold May Be Entering Expansion Phase ToLast week’s candle showed a clear manipulation pattern, as price 🔻 swept the liquidity below the lows of the previous three weekly candles. Immediately after the sweep, the market responded with strong bullish momentum 🔼 — a strong indication that order flow has shifted.
📈 This Week’s Outlook:
Gold may be entering a bullish expansion phase.
The current weekly candle is expected to be a strong bullish candle.
Next target: swing high liquidity around 3438.
📊 Today’s Development:
After clearing the previous weekly high (~3363),
Both the Asian and European sessions are consolidating, forming a clear accumulation range.
🧭 Expansion Scenario:
If this is indeed an expansion phase, a deep pullback may not occur before price moves higher.
I anticipate the New York session will sweep the prior sessions,
Forming the daily low (and possibly weekly low) around 333x.
A deeper pullback toward 331x is still possible before a rally begins.
🔹 Trading Plan for Today:
✅ Consider an early long entry near the 333x zone,
⚠️ Only if a clear CISD signal appears on M15
(M30 or H1 confirmation is preferred – focus during New York session)
📌 Be patient and observe price behavior –
⛔ Avoid entering without clear confirmation

How to correctly grasp the gold trading opportunities?Yesterday, gold prices saw a technical rally amidst volatile trading, followed by a downward trend under pressure. Bulls strongly supported a rebound at 3280 in the Asian session. The European session saw an accelerated upward move, breaking through 3314 before retreating under pressure. We also precisely positioned short positions below 3315, achieving a perfect target of 3290-3295. During the US session, the market again faced pressure at 3311, weakening in a volatile trend before breaking through 3300. The daily chart ultimately closed with a medium-sized bullish candlestick pattern, followed by a pullback and then a decline.
Overall, after yesterday's rebound, gold prices remain under pressure at the key resistance level of 3314. The short-term bearish weakness line has moved down to this level. If pressure continues in this area in the short term, gold will maintain a weak and volatile structure, with intraday trading remaining focused on rebounds and upward moves. If you are currently experiencing confusion or unsatisfactory trading strategies, please feel free to discuss your options and help avoid investment pitfalls.
From a 4-hour analysis perspective, focus on resistance at 3305-3315 on the upside. A rebound to this level is a good opportunity to short against resistance. Focus on support at 3280-3270 on the downside. Unless the price stabilizes strongly, consider not entering long positions below this level. The overall strategy remains to short on rebounds, with the same rhythm. I will provide timely notifications of specific levels from the bottom, so keep an eye on them.
Gold Trading Strategy: Short on rebounds near 3305-3315, with targets at 3290-3280-3270.
GOLD awaiting confirmation of a bullish zone formation.Gold has confirmed support at 3310, with the price rebounding and returning to the buying side. We are now awaiting confirmation of a bullish zone formation.
Gold remains under pressure ahead of key market-moving events, including the US GDP data release and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision. However, the pause in Dollar strength is offering some support to the gold price. As long as the price holds above this level, the bullish scenario remains valid. A sustained move above this zone may open the path toward the next resistances: 3360 / 3385 we can expect Growth more.

As the bull market continues, is gold poised to hit new highs?Judging from the current gold trend, the technical side opened high and closed low, releasing the demand for short-term adjustments. The intraday low hit 3344 and then rebounded, which is enough to reflect the resilience of the bulls. The hourly doji continued to rise, and the 3353 line was pulled up again. It is expected that it will be difficult to give an entry opportunity near 3340-3345 again. Since the new high has been refreshed again, the technical short-term adjustment may have ended. With the current strong bull structure, further testing the 3370-3380 area is a high probability event. If it unexpectedly falls below 3340 in the future, the bulls will no longer defend strongly, and the market may turn to volatility. Breaking below 3340 is also expected to open up short-term short space, but this is a later story. The current market structure is clear, and we continue to see a strong upward trend for the bulls. At least at the beginning of the week, I do not think the bull market is nearing its end.
Gold operation suggestion: go long around 3360-3355, target 3370-3380.Strictly set stop loss and control your position.

GOLD: Time for massive drop? +3000 pips move! Gold has failed to breakthrough the previous resistance indicating a strong sellers hold around $3440 region. Now since the price has stared dropping we can see it dropping around $2800 in long term. In order for this to happen we need strong confirmation, which will help us understand the possible volume.

August 5, 2025 - XAUUSD GOLD Analysis and Potential OpportunitySummary:
Price action has been choppy and indecisive, with no clean signals or clear levels. In the absence of a solid short setup, the main idea for the Asian session is to buy on dips. Watch the 3385 resistance zone closely — if price breaks and holds above, look for long opportunities on a pullback. If 3385 is rejected, it may offer a good risk-reward short setup.
📍 Key Levels to Watch:
• 3405 – Resistance
• 3400 – Psychological level
• 3385 – Resistance
• 3378 – Resistance
• 3371 – Key intraday support
• 3365 – Support
• 3350 – Psychological level
• 3345 – Support
📈 Intraday Strategy
SELL if price breaks below 3371 → watch 3365, then 3358, 3350, 3345
BUY if price holds above 3378 → target 3385, then 3394, 3400, 3405

XAUUSD – Demand Zone Reaction & Potential Markup (VSA Analysis)💡 Idea:
Gold is testing a major 4H demand zone with early signs of smart money accumulation. VSA signals show supply exhaustion and potential for a bullish reversal toward upper resistance.
📍 Trade Setup:
Entry Zone: 3,265 – 3,285 (current demand zone)
Target 1: 3,380 – 3,400 (mid supply zone)
Target 2: 3,440 – 3,460 (major supply zone)
Stop Loss: Below 3,240 (to avoid false breakouts)
R:R Potential: ~3:1
📊 Technical Reasoning (VSA)
Stopping Volume Detected
On the recent drop into the demand zone, a wide spread down-bar on ultra-high volume appeared, followed by no further downside progress.
This is a classic stopping volume pattern where professional money absorbs selling pressure.
No Supply Confirmation
Subsequent candles inside the zone show narrow spreads on decreasing volume, indicating a lack of genuine selling interest.
Demand vs Supply Shift
Multiple attempts to break below 3,265 have failed, showing absorption of supply and positioning for markup.
If price rallies from here on increasing volume and wider spreads up, it would confirm demand dominance.
Structure Context
This demand zone has historically produced strong rallies.
Break above the minor resistance inside the zone could trigger a swift move toward Target 1, with momentum possibly extending to Target 2.
📌 Trading Plan:
Look for bullish confirmation bars with high volume before entry.
If price breaks below 3,240 on high volume, invalidate the long setup and watch for the next demand level around 3,140.
Partial profits can be taken at Target 1, and the remainder trailed toward Target 2.
GOLD in 15minHello to all traders. 😎😎
I hope all your deals will hit their targets. 🎉🎉
After yesterday's heavy drop on the last day of July. We had a weak growth.
I think the price will retest $3300 and we will have another drop to the $3280 area. Look for short positions in the $3300 area.
Remember that this is an analysis and be sure to do money management when trading.

Gold fluctuates repeatedly. How can we avoid detours?Gold currently lacks sustained bullish momentum. The monthly chart has formed four consecutive upper shadows, indicating significant market pressure at high levels. Bulls are hesitant to take risks and lack the appetite for aggressive action, leading to a typical volatile pattern of rapid rises and equally rapid declines in gold prices. Yesterday's price action further confirmed this pattern. Although gold prices briefly reached a new high after bottoming out and rebounding, they were unable to consolidate above that level and subsequently retreated rapidly. Currently, the 3380-3390 area has become a key short-term resistance level, but repeated attempts to retest it have led to heavy selling pressure. Meanwhile, the 3370 area, a trading-intensive zone, poses significant downside risks for gold if it breaks below it, potentially extending the range to 3355-3340. Technically, resistance is concentrated in the 3380-3390 area, while support lies at 3355-3340. Short-term volatility is largely locked within this range. We recommend maintaining a volatile strategy of buying high and selling low.
Regarding trading strategies, we recommend placing short positions in batches within the 3375-3390 area, targeting 3360-3345. Pay attention to position control and stop-loss settings during this process. If the price rebounds to the support area and stabilizes, consider short-term long positions to flexibly respond to the intraday rhythm.
GOING Long On Gold (XAUUSD)Today we are setting pending orders instead of taking direct market executions because we need price to reach a specific level before entering a trade.
Our current bias is based on where the New York session opened and where price is likely to reach first. From yesterday we observed strong bullish candles from the New York session open with price rallying from around 3350.02 to 3389.4.
Now price has corrected itself but the overall trend remains bullish. According to the Session Directional Momentum concept we are setting pending buy orders at the low of the previous one hour candle.
Looking back there is a strong support level at that region which has been breached twice but remains valid. Price tapped that level again before the New York session opened today which indicates mitigation.
We are expecting price to return to that zone before taking off again with a projected move of at least 250 pips for the day.
XAUUSD BUY IDEA • Clear POI Identified:
Price is approaching a well-defined Point of Interest (POI) around 3,347–3,355. This zone aligns with prior demand and a potential entry point for institutions.
• Short-Term Weakness → Potential Reversal:
The market structure shows a retracement phase after a strong bullish impulse. The retrace is likely targeting discount levels within the POI.
• 50 EMA Confluence:
The 50 EMA (gray line) is rising and converging toward the POI, adding confluence for bullish continuation.
• Anticipated Reaction:
Expectation is for price to tap the POI, form an intraday reversal pattern, then continue upward toward higher liquidity zones.
⸻
🧠 Smart Money Perspective:
• Accumulation → Expansion:
Price may currently be accumulating orders before the next expansion leg.
• Low-Risk Entry Zone:
The POI offers a potential low-risk buy zone with stop-loss below the 3,347 region.
Go long on the pullback and head straight to new highs!Gold fell back and stabilized at 3345 yesterday, and continued to rise during the US trading session, reaching a high of 3385. The overnight daily line closed positive again, which is in line with our expectations, so there is still room for growth. We will continue to take a bullish approach today. In the 4H cycle, the Bollinger opening is in the stage of large volume, and the consecutive positive lines are rising steadily based on the moving average. The support below is 3370-3360, and the intraday watershed is at 3360. The operation is mainly to go long on pullbacks. First look at the pressure of the 3385 high point. If it breaks, continue to look at 3395 and 3410.
Gold operation suggestion: go long on gold around 3370-3360, and look at 3385 and 3400.
