Gold price decreased at the beginning of the week⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold prices (XAU/USD) edged lower toward $3,310 during the early Asian session on Monday, retreating from last week's record highs amid growing signs of easing global trade tensions. US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins revealed on Sunday that the Trump administration is engaged in daily discussions with China regarding tariffs, according to Reuters. Rollins also emphasized that agreements with several other countries were “very close” to being finalized. "Headlines hinting at possible partial exemptions from retaliatory tariffs further lifted market sentiment and contributed to gold slipping below the $3,300 mark," noted Yuxuan Tang, strategist at JPMorgan Private Bank. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: At the beginning of the week, gold prices were mainly sideways, without much news impact, trading around 3300 and gradually decreasing. ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone : 3368- 3370 SL 3375 TP1: $3360 TP2: $3350 TP3: $3340 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $3212 - $3214 SL $3207 TP1: $3225 TP2: $3240 TP3: $3255 ⭐️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

Gold: a bit of relaxationInvestors are perceiving that the US-China trade war tensions are easing, in which sense, the price of gold lost some of the value as of the end of the previous week. The gold lost some 2%, and was last traded at the level of $3.318. It should be also considered that during the several few weeks, the price of gold was continuously reaching new all time highest levels, in which sense, some profit-taking also impacted the modest drop in the price. The RSI dropped from the overbought market side to the level of 61, where it is closing the week. The moving averages of 50 and 200 days still continue to move as two parallel lines with an uptrend, unchanged for the past several months. Analysts are noting that currently there are no significant selling orders, in which sense, this might be treated as the short term gold reversal. As the US-China trade war is easing, some investors are pulling out their funds from gold, as a safe-haven asset, in order to invest them into more risky assets, like equities. The price of gold is still moving in an uncharted territory, in which sense, the technical analysis might provide not-so-accurate predictions. The relaxation in the price of gold might continue, however, any negative news regarding trade tariffs will certainly impact the jump in its price, during this period of time. The uncertainty in markets is still high and should not be underestimated.

Gold trend picks directionGold fell by 230 USD in a row on the daily line. Currently, 3500 is under short-term pressure. Today, we will focus on the continuity of the decline. It directly rushed from 3288 to 3310 in 5 minutes after opening. Yesterday, it hit the lowest point of 3258 above the 0.5 division of 2956-3500. This position is temporarily supported and rebounded, but whether the adjustment is over is still uncertain. It depends on the intraday closing pattern. If today's closing can stand above the MA5 daily moving average resistance of 3358 again, then there will be signs of the end of the downward adjustment, and the next day must be accompanied by a positive line. Pull up; on the contrary, if it closes below the 5-day MA, then there is a high probability that the 10-day moving average position will continue to decline, and then the 50-division position 3228 is further down, which happens to be the starting point of the big positive on April 16. This is likely to be the end point of this round of adjustment, or there will not be much room to go down, because from the standard wave pattern, it cannot fall below the first wave high, which is 3167, which is also the current middle track; therefore, either 3228 will stabilize on dips, or somewhere in the 3228-3167 area will stabilize, and then finally return to the bullish trend and pull up The short-term 4-hour middle track 3380 has been lost and has become a key counter-pressure point. As long as it does not stand above it again, it will maintain a downward correction. After breaking 3292 below, the 66-day moving average of 3260 will be the loser or loser; the 1-hour K-line is under pressure from ma10 and ma5 and continues to fall. After yesterday's consolidation and pull-up, the K-line has now re-run above ma10, and the macd has formed a golden cross below the zero axis. This wave of 200 US dollars of rapid decline has almost corrected most of it. If it continues downward for another wave, or with the help of bottom divergence, it will slowly brew a short-term bottom; today's gold rebound focuses on the resistance below 3367, below the extreme middle track of 3380, and it is still bearish if it cannot withstand the pressure. If the strong support of 3260 or 3245-28 is stable, we will start to consider bottom-fishing.

Lingrid | GOLD Wednesday's HIGH-LOW to Determine Next DirectionOANDA:XAUUSD continues its consolidation after falling from the resistance zone. It consistently respects the downward trendline, repeatedly bouncing lower from this barrier. The market recently formed a triangle pattern and broke through it, though notably without triggering major sell-offs. Currently, price action is testing the previous day's low. However, I believe the price may retest Wednesday's low since price is trading within Wednesday's range. This has formed an inside bar candlestick pattern on the daily timeframe, suggesting the next decisive move will occur following a breakout beyond Wednesday's low or high boundaries. Overall, I expect the sideways movement to continue until next week, with closely watching these key levels for potential signals. My goal is resistance zone around 3355 Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

Why I Deal With Losses Before They Even Appear📉 Mastering the mindset that most traders avoid There’s a moment that happens in every trader’s journey — not during a win, but during a loss. A frozen moment where your mind screams, “It shouldn’t have gone this way!” You look at the screen, your stop is hit, your equity drops, and your brain starts the negotiation: “What if I held a bit longer?” “Maybe the stop was too tight.” “I need to make this back. Now.” But the problem didn’t start with that loss. It started long before you placed the trade. ________________________________________ 💡 The Biggest Lie in Trading: “I’ll Deal With It When It Happens” Too many traders operate from a place of reactivity. They focus on the chart, the breakout, the “R:R,” the indicator... but they forget the only thing that actually matters: ❗️ What if this trade fails — and how will I handle it? That’s not a pessimistic question. It’s the most professional one you can ask. If you only accept the possibility of a loss after the loss happens, it’s too late. You’ve already sabotaged yourself emotionally — and probably financially, too. So here's the core principle I apply every single day: ________________________________________ 🔒 I Accept the Loss Before I Enter Before I click "Buy" or "Sell," I already know: ✅ What my stop is. ✅ How much that stop means in money. ✅ That I am 100% okay losing that amount. If any of those don’t align, the trade is dead before it begins. This is not negotiable. ________________________________________ 🚫 Don’t Touch the Stop. Touch the Volume. One of the biggest mistakes I see — and I’ve done it too, early on — is this: You find a clean technical setup. Let’s say the proper stop is 120 pips away. You feel it’s too wide. You want to tighten it to 40. Why? Not because the market structure says so — but because your ego can’t handle the potential loss. ❌ That’s not trading. That’s emotional budgeting. Instead, keep the stop where it technically makes sense. Then reduce the volume until the potential loss — in money, not pips — is emotionally tolerable. We trade capital, not distance. ________________________________________ 🧠 This Is the Only Risk Model That Makes Sense Your strategy doesn’t need to win every time. It just needs to keep you in the game long enough to let the edge play out. If your risk is too big for your mental tolerance, it’s not sustainable. And if it’s not sustainable, it’s not professional trading. The goal isn’t to be right. The goal is to survive long enough to be consistent. ________________________________________ 📋 My Framework: How I Deal with Losses Before They Show Up Here’s my mental checklist for every trade: 1. Accept the loss before entering. If I’m not okay losing X, I reduce the volume or skip the trade. 2. Set the stop based on structure, not comfort. If the setup needs a 150-pip stop, so be it. It’s not about feelings. 3. Adjust volume to match my comfort zone. I never trade “big” just because a setup looks “great.” Ego has no place here. 4. View trades as part of a series. I expect losses. I expect drawdowns. One trade means nothing. 5. Be willing to exit early if the story changes. If price invalidates the idea before the stop is hit (or the target), I’m gone. ________________________________________ 🧘‍♂️ If You Can’t Sleep With the Trade, You’re Doing It Wrong Peace of mind is underrated. If a trade is making you anxious — not because it’s near SL, but because it’s threatening your sense of control — something is off. And that something is usually your risk size. Professional trading isn’t built on adrenaline. It’s built on calm decisions, repeated for years. ________________________________________ 🏁 Final Thoughts: Profit is Optional. Loss Management is Mandatory. If you want to become consistent, start every trade with a simple, brutally honest question: “Can I lose this money and still feel calm, focused, and in control?” If the answer is no, you’re not ready for the trade — no matter how good the chart looks. Profit is a possibility. Loss is a certainty. Master the certainty. The rest will follow. 🚀 Keep learning, keep growing. Best of luck! Mihai Iacob

Gold and Chart Patterns I’m dropping this XAU/USD M30 insight because my system’s a damn executioner, and you need to see how I hunt the market. This chart is a textbook of bearish patterns—first a bearish three drives showing smart money exhausting buyers with three weakening upward pushes, then a head and shoulders with the neckline break confirming the reversal, and now a bearish shark forming to seal the deal, all playing out within my descending trendlines. Smart money’s been in control from the start, distributing at the peaks, grabbing liquidity, and dumping price to hunt stop-losses below key levels. Supply and demand zones are my edge—supply at the right shoulder of the head and shoulders where sellers stacked orders before the break, demand near the lower trendline where buyers might step in, my target for this bearish move. My checklist operations are a predator’s playbook. I start with harmonic patterns, hunting XABCD structures like the bearish shark I’m seeing now, signaling smart money’s reversal zones. I confirm market structure, looking for breaks of structure to show trend shifts—here, the neckline break confirms bearish continuation. I identify order blocks, those consolidation zones where smart money stacks orders, like the bearish order block at the right shoulder where sellers distributed. Volume profile is key—I check for high volume nodes where price stalls, like the neckline where sellers defended, and low volume nodes that act as magnets, like gaps below the neckline. Top-down analysis keeps me sharp—four-hour timeframe sets the bearish trend, one-hour confirms the break, thirty-minute narrows the setup, fifteen-minute is my strike zone, waiting for a neckline retest. I use Heikin Ashi for confirmation—red candles mean sell, waiting for red on the fifteen-minute at the retest. Fibonacci levels mark my targets—I focus on key extensions to set exits, like targeting the lower trendline of the channel. Gann theory adds confluence—I look for angles or retracements to align with my setups, like a Gann angle pointing to the lower trendline. MACD and RSI measure momentum—MACD’s bearish crossover and negative histogram confirm the downtrend, RSI below fifty with bearish divergence at the right shoulder seals it. Risk management is my law—I risk small to win big, stop-loss above the right shoulder, take-profit at the lower trendline, aiming for a high reward ratio. I monitor news and liquidity traps—fake spikes above the neckline are smart money’s tricks, so I stay sharp. I wait for confirmation—every piece aligns, or I walk, then I document to keep my edge razor-sharp. I’m rating this system a ten out of ten—harmonic patterns, Smart Money Concepts, volume profile, top-down analysis, and now MACD and RSI for momentum make it untouchable. I’ve fine-tuned this over six months, backtesting until it’s a weapon. I need two of you to join me at Academia—let’s hunt together.DYOR Shieldsmine Diaries

Breakout Watch: Triangle Apex Test Near $3,300Gold is approaching the apex of a symmetrical triangle on the 30-min chart, with price testing both the descending resistance and the ascending support trendline. This compression near the Fib 0.618–0.5 zone ($3,289–$3,226) suggests an imminent move. Key levels: Resistance: $3,300 (breakout trigger), $3,340, $3,380 (Fib 0.786) Support: $3,260 (trendline), $3,226 (Fib 0.5), $3,162 (Fib 0.382) RSI is rising off oversold (47), and volume is low — typical pre-breakout behavior. A confirmed breakout above $3,300 could accelerate bullish momentum toward ATH levels. Breakdown below $3,226 invalidates the structure. Watching for volatility surge within next 24 hours.

Gold Price in Key Compression Zone: Awaiting BreakoutThe 1-hour chart of XAU/USD (Gold Spot vs US Dollar) shows a clear symmetrical triangle formation, where the price has been compressing between a descending resistance zone (red) and a horizontal support zone (green). Here's a breakdown of the setup: Support Zone (~3040–3080 USD): This area has acted as a strong base multiple times, suggesting buyers are stepping in consistently at this level. Resistance Trendline (~3310–3320 USD): The price has repeatedly tested this descending resistance line but has failed to break above it so far. EMA Indicators: 50 EMA (black line): Currently acting as dynamic resistance. 200 EMA (blue line): Price is hovering around it, indicating indecision. Projected Breakout Scenarios: Upside Breakout: If price breaks above the resistance trendline, a sharp rally is projected towards the 3480–3520 USD zone. This move aligns with previous supply levels. Downside Breakout: If support fails, we could see a breakdown toward the 3040 USD region, with extended targets near 3080–3040 USD. Current Bias: The market is consolidating, and a breakout is imminent. Watch for volume and candle confirmation at either the resistance or support to determine the next major move. ================================================================ Disclosure: I am a participant in TradeNation's Influencer Program and receive a monthly fee for utilising their TradingView charts in my market analysis. =================================================================

Gold Trap Zones vs. Bounce Zones — Daily Flow Outlook April 30 Gold Battle Plan – Liquidity Games Reloaded 🎮💥 Gold’s Not Done — Next Move is Loading… You In? ⚔️🧨 No Guessing. No Praying. Just Precision – GoldMindsFX Flow 🔥✨ 🧠 Macro & Market Context: Gold continues to range between 3380–3260, with no clean breakout yet. Price action since yesterday has remained reactive and indecisive — still trapped inside the larger structure. Today’s USD Events (High Impact): 🗣️ Trump Speech 🟦 ADP Non-Farm Employment 🟧 Advance GDP q/q 🟨 Employment Cost Index 🟧 Core PCE + Pending Home Sales Expect volatility — especially NY session. Liquidity spikes likely. 🧭 Market Bias: HTF Bias (Daily, H4): Still bullish overall as long as 3230–3240 is respected. LTF Flow (M15–H1): Consolidation with small bullish attempts — structure still undecided. 📌 Key Structural Zones (Sniper Focus): 🔺 Sell Zones (Premium Supply) 3372–3376 → Trap Sell OB (M15–H1) → Price was previously rejected hard from here 3380–3390 → High-Volume Liquidity Pool → Major decision zone if price extends upside 🟩 Buy Zones (Discount Demand) 3284–3288 → Clean H1 Demand Reaction + Internal Liquidity → This zone triggered a 500+ pip rally this week 3233–3237 → Deep HTF OB + Untapped Liquidity → Must-hold level for HTF bullish bias to remain intact 👀 Eyes On Today: 3317–3325 → Micro structure to monitor. If bulls hold above this area, we may retest 3350–3372. 3284 → First bounce zone for reentry if NY dips. Rejection below 3280 = eyes on 3233–3237. 🔥 Trading Focus Tip: It’s a news-driven day. Your job isn’t to predict — it’s to wait, react, and strike with logic. Snipers don’t rush. We let liquidity come to us. 💬 Final Note: Goldie's still stuck in the cage — but today might be the breakout tease. Don’t chase, don’t guess — just watch the flow and let price tell you the truth. 🎯 Smart moves only. No fluff, just levels. Let me know — are you watching the bounce or hunting the trap? Drop your zone bias 💬👇 📢 If this helped map your zones, hit that ❤️, smash follow, and drop your bias in the comments — are you stalking 3285 or sniping the 3370 trap? Let’s trade smart, not loud. 🚀💛

Next Gold Support at $3,226 - Major Breakout Incoming?!🧠 GoldThesis Gold is coiling into a textbook symmetrical triangle — right on the 0.5 Fib retracement level (~$3,226) from its $3,496 top. Price action is compressing fast, and a major breakout looks imminent within days. The RSI is hovering in the low 30s, signaling that the downside may be reaching exhaustion. 🔍 Technical Breakdown Pattern: Symmetrical triangle forming, squeezing toward apex (end of April). Fib Levels: 0.618 = $3,289 (rejection confirmed) 0.5 = $3,226 (current support zone) 0.382 = $3,162 (next support if breakdown confirms) Volume: Decreasing — classic compression before expansion. RSI (14): 33 — near oversold territory. Could be setting up a bullish divergence if price sweeps lows. Volatility: Dangerously quiet... for now. 🟩 Bullish Case If price holds $3,226 and breaks triangle resistance around ~$3,300, we could see fast movement to retest $3,380 (Fib 0.786) and eventually $3,496 ATH. RSI reversal + volume surge = likely breakout trigger. 🟥 Bearish Case Failure to hold $3,226 or $3,162 sends price to $3,083 (Fib 0.236) or lower. Bear trap possible near ~$3,150 if liquidity is swept. 🚨 My Plan Waiting for triangle resolution. Long above $3,300 breakout retest with SL below $3,226. Short below $3,162 confirmation with tight invalidation. ⚔️ Final Word The triangle is almost full — this is the calm before the storm. Whether gold rallies back to ATH or dumps to shakeout late longs depends on how this coil resolves. Get ready, the move will be violent.

GOLD DAILY CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATE Hey Everyone, Another smashing day on the charts today with our analysis playing out perfectly. This is an update from yesterday, which you can read below for continuity. After completing the target yesterday we stated We are now looking for support above the channel top for a continuation or a ema5 lock inside the channel will see price play back into the channel levels. - We got the support and bounce just outside the channel, just like we said and perfectly inline with our plans to buy dips. This is now a crucial range test with either support here for a continuation or a break back into the channel. We will be looking for ema5 to confirm the break or failure to identify rejection. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX YESTERDAYS UPDATE Hey Everyone, After updating our 1H and 4h chart idea last two days, please see update on our daily chart idea also playing out perfectly. On our last update we stated that we were seeing price break out of the channel but will need ema5 to lock outside of the channel to confirm the breakout into the next level. We got the candle body above 3297 and ema5 lock opening 3433 - This was hit perfectly completing this target. No further close above this level confirmed the rejection. We are now looking for support above the channel top for a continuation or a ema5 lock inside the channel will see price play back into the channel levels. This is the beauty of our Goldturn channels, which we draw in our unique way, using averages rather than price. This enables us to identify fake-outs and breakouts clearly, as minimal noise in the way our channels are drawn. We will use our smaller timeframe analysis on the 1H and 4H chart to buy dips from the weighted Goldturns for 30 to 40 pips clean. Ranging markets are perfectly suited for this type of trading, instead of trying to hold longer positions and getting chopped up in the swings up and down in the range. 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 using our smaller timeframe ideas. Our long term bias is Bullish and therefore we look forward to drops from rejections, which allows us to continue to use our smaller timeframes to buy dips using our levels and setups. Buying dips allows us to safely manage any swings rather then chasing the bull from the top. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

Will a new ATH be created after $3,500 in the coming days? What do you think? Gold is moving between the Resistance zone($3,386-$3,357) and Support zone($3,282-$3,245) . In terms of Elliott Wave theory , it seems that Gold has started to form Corrective Waves after recording the latest ATH . Gold is completing a Zigzag Correction wave (ABC/5-3-5) ( most likely ). I expect Gold to start declining again after approaching the Resistance zone($3,386-$3,357) and attack the Support lines and Support zone($3,282-$3,245) . It seems like Gold needs a correction , do you agree with me!? In the worst-case scenario for my analysis, Gold starts falling from the resistance zone($3,431-$3,406) . Note: If Gold can move above $3,440, we can expect more pumps and maybe make na ew All-Time High(ATH). Gold Analyze ( XAUUSD ), 1-hour time frame. Be sure to follow the updated ideas.

Gold Eyes $3370 After Bullish Breakout and Consolidation PatternThis chart analysis showcases a bullish breakout in the Gold Spot vs USD (XAU/USD) on the 15-minute timeframe. After a significant downtrend, a breakout above the descending trendline occurred, signaling a potential reversal. Price is now consolidating within a rising wedge, aiming for the key resistance zone around $3,370. Explanation: Breakout Confirmation: The chart highlights a clear breakout from a descending trendline, marked by a circle. This breakout is a key signal that bearish momentum has weakened and bulls are gaining control. Bullish Structure: Post-breakout, the price has formed a bullish continuation pattern, indicated by a wedge (or triangle). This pattern often precedes upward moves. Target Zone: The marked resistance zone around $3,370 is a previous supply area. The chart suggests this is the next key level bulls might aim for. Projected Move: The blue arrow outlines a possible price path toward this target, assuming continued buying pressure. This setup provides a potential buying opportunity, but traders should watch for confirmation and manage risk with appropriate stop-loss levels below recent support zones.
