GOLD - Price can continue to move up inside rising channelHi guys, this is my overview for XAUUSD, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊
Long time price rising near the support line, but later it made a correction movement, breaking this line.
Then price had a sharp impulse that confirmed bullish structure and started to grow inside a rising channel.
After reaching the top boundary, the price reversed and started a pullback to the support area near $3265.
This zone also aligns with the channel base and acted as a bounce point before, making it a strong technical level.
Now the price is consolidating above this support, forming a higher low, which may confirm continuation.
As long as price holds, and I expect it to bounce from support line and push toward $3480 channel resistance.

XAUUSD - Buy Looks like a Wyckoff to me 📈
A Wyckoff within a bigger Wyckoff 🔄
Did I mention Wyckoff? 😅
Anyway, listening to all the guff on YouTube about this tariff palaver, things don't look good-not at all. 😬
Shipping is reduced 🚢, ports are starting to feel it ⚓, and there's talk of layoffs, so there will be a knock-on effect-more job losses. 📉
I asked GPT what it thought about the whole thing and it said an estimated 1 million job losses. Not good. 😟
Latest: Trump's lies are coming home to roost 🐓-Amazon is displaying tariff-related product price increases separately. 😂
Also, Shein and others-what else can they do? It only makes logical sense for businesses to separate and display things like GST so Tariffs no different, it helps people see the true cost of the product. 🧾
Trump is calling it a political and hostile act 🎭
What, showing the truth? 😂
This is from a man who owns Truth Social. 🤦♂️
So, expecting gold to continue higher 🏆
Banks are in the accumulation phase-looks like they're heading for a breakout then probable retest of once was resistance now turned support zone, then entering the markup phase (head higher). 🏦💹
That would be the plan! 📝
Let’s see! 🙂
#XAUUSD:From Our Last Analysis 534+ Pips What Next?We published our analysis on gold on April 24th, highlighting the bullish market presence. The price indeed reversed from our zone, enabling us to make a significant move of over 234 pips. We anticipate a continuous price increase from our entry zone, potentially reaching 3500$. There are several reasons behind this belief. Firstly, the escalating war-like tension between India and Pakistan could lead to a surge in gold prices, potentially surpassing the previous high. Secondly, the heightened tensions among global investors are expected to result in an extreme bullish movement in gold prices.
Given the volatility of gold, we recommend trading cautiously and taking extra precautions while trading gold.
Wishing you good luck and safe trading!

Gold 4H – Compression Builds | Key Zones in FocusGold is consolidating beneath descending trendline resistance, compressing within a defined structure on the 4H chart. As volatility tightens, price is approaching a critical decision point. This post outlines the key actionable zones, ranked by risk, and highlights the stop-loss levels to manage exposure.
Technical Analysis:
Price action remains trapped within a descending triangle, marked by lower highs and flat support. Buyers have shown interest around the $3,313–$3,283 range, while broader structure still favors caution until a clean breakout or breakdown occurs.
We’ve identified three main zones, each offering different trade opportunities based on structure and risk tolerance:
🔴 $3,313 – Minor Intraday Level (Higher Risk):
This is not a formal support zone but a short-term reaction level. Positioned directly under descending trendline resistance, it's highly reactive and prone to stop hunts or liquidity spikes. Entries here carry elevated risk and require tighter stop placement.
Stop-loss: Below $3,301.165 – A clean invalidation if structure breaks.
🟠 $3,283 – 4H Support Shelf (Medium Risk):
A more defined level based on prior multi-candle rejections. This zone has shown stability and represents the core of current consolidation. A breakdown below here would likely trigger downside continuation.
Stop-loss: $3,263.450 – Under the consolidation base, confirming bearish expansion.
🟢 $3,240 – 4H Support Zone (Low Risk – Backed by Daily Structure):
This zone aligns with a broader daily support level and has not been tested in the current cycle. It offers a structurally clean and lower-risk long entry, especially for swing traders.
Stop-loss: $3,218.240 – Invalidation of the daily support structure.
Outlook:
Bullish trigger: Break and close above $3,320 and the trendline → opens path toward $3,420 and $3,510.
Bearish trigger: Clean loss of $3,283 → exposes downside toward $3,240, then possibly $3,127.
Current bias: Neutral-to-bullish while price holds above $3,283 and compression remains intact.
Note: The FOMC decision on Wednesday may act as a catalyst. A dovish tone could support bullish continuation in gold.
✅ Conclusion:
Gold is compressing within a clean descending triangle structure. If buyers defend one of the mapped support zones, we could see a push toward $3,420 and possibly $3,510. Until a confirmed breakdown below $3,283 occurs, the bias remains neutral-to-bullish, with opportunity on structured pullbacks.

"Gold Just Respected The OB Like a Pro! 1:7 RR Setup LIVE!"📈 GOLD (XAUUSD) – 1H SMC Setup | April 30, 2025
This is a textbook Smart Money bullish entry — we’ve got the clean sequence of Order Block ➝ CHoCH ➝ Mitigation ➝ Pump.
🔍 Structure Analysis:
After a strong selloff, price created a valid Bullish Order Block around 3,253 – 3,285 (highlighted in purple).
Price swept previous lows (liquidity grab) before returning to mitigate the OB.
The Change of Character (CHoCH) marked the shift from bearish to bullish intent.
Price wicked into the OB zone → buyers stepped in → sniper entry executed ✅
🎯 Trade Setup:
Entry: 3,285
SL: 3,253 (below OB wick)
TP1: 3,310
TP2: 3,345
TP3: 3,370+ (Potential Imbalance Fill)
RR: ~ 1:7 (massive!)
🧠 Why This Works (SMC Logic):
Liquidity sweep before entry = market manipulation phase
OB = institutional footprint
CHoCH confirms momentum flip
Entry right at mitigation level = minimized drawdown, max RR
📌 Execution Notes:
Patience was key: entry triggered only after full mitigation of OB
No candle close below OB = confidence to hold
Now in expansion phase → trailing stop for runners 🏃♂️
💡 Pro Tip:
Price doesn’t reverse randomly. It reacts to zones where Smart Money operates — just like this OB. Learn the game, don’t chase the candles.
🔥 Final Thought:
This is the kind of setup you print out and pin on your trading desk.
Risk was tight. Reward? HUGE. This is why we follow structure, not emotions.

Gold has little momentum to continue rising - continues to fall 🔔🔔🔔 Gold news:
➡️ Gold prices reverse course during Monday’s U.S. trading session, recovering strongly from an intraday low of $3,268.03 to hover around $3,330. In the absence of major macroeconomic data, investors remained focused on trade developments. Mixed headlines regarding U.S.-China trade negotiations stirred some concerns after a quiet start to the day, with cautious optimism leading earlier sessions in Asia and Europe, thereby putting pressure on demand for the U.S. Dollar.
➡️ However, gold struggled to maintain its overnight rebound and faced renewed selling pressure during Tuesday's Asian session. Signs of easing U.S.-China trade worries and optimism about potential trade deals from the U.S. continued to support a risk-on sentiment, weighing on the appeal of the safe-haven metal.
Personal opinion:
➡️ Positive information about tariff negotiations is appearing more and more, and the parties are also easing trade tensions. So the gold price decrease is still maintained or at least difficult to increase further, unless there is a strong enough announcement to push the gold price up
➡️ Analysis based on important resistance - support levels and Fibonacci combined with trend lines to come up with a suitable strategy
Plan:
🔆Price Zone Setup:
👉Sell Gold 3357 - 3360
❌SL: 3365 | ✅TP: 3352 - 3346 – 3340
👉Buy Gold 3270 - 3273
❌SL: 3265 | ✅TP: 3278 - 3283 – 3289

XAUUSD | Bearish Order Block Rejection in Premium | Short Setup🔥 XAUUSD – 5M Timeframe Smart Money Setup | April 30, 2025
Gold just printed the kind of setup Smart Money waits for: liquidity sweep + order block retest + Fibonacci confluence — all in the Premium Zone.
📍 Price Action Breakdown:
We marked a Clear Bearish Order Block after a strong move down.
Price retraced cleanly back into the 61.8%–79% Fibonacci Premium Zone — the exact area where Smart Money sells to retail buyers.
Price wicked into the OB, filled the imbalance, and showed strong bearish rejection.
Entry triggered on confirmation candle after tap.
🎯 Key Setup Elements:
✅ OB in Premium
✅ Bearish BOS before entry
✅ Fibonacci rejection (61.8–79%)
✅ Clean mitigation of the OB
✅ Low time frame confirmation entry
🧠 Smart Money Flow:
Retail: “Gold’s recovering! Time to buy!”
Smart Money: “Thanks for the liquidity. Here’s your SL.” 🫡💸
Every wick into that OB zone is a buy stop getting sniped by institutions.
💥 Trade Setup:
Entry: OB rejection zone at 3,328–3,332
SL: Above 3,332 (wick high / OB invalidation)
TP:
TP1: 3,314
TP2: 3,306
TP3: 3,299 (full RR completion)
Risk:Reward ~ 1:3+
📈 Risk Management Note:
Trailing SL advised once we reach TP1. Let price prove itself. Gold is volatile, but this structure is textbook.
🔮 What to Watch Next:
BOS below 3,320 confirms further bearish momentum.
Any re-entry into OB without momentum = trap.
🎤 Final Thoughts:
This is a play straight out of the institutional handbook — it’s not about chasing, it’s about letting price come to you.
Patience = Profit. 🧠💰

Gold Short: Walkthrough of Wave Counts and H&SThis is the video walkthrough of the Elliott Wave Analysis of Gold that I posted 8 hours earlier. I made an update to the head-and-shoulders in this video and discusses the change in neckline. I also discuss about why I chose to label the waves as they are and how they might have been labelled otherwise. In the end, this is still a short call but with the H&S tilt shifted down.
I realised that I missed out on how to do the profit target, but please refer to the linked static idea for the profit target and stop loss. Thank you!
XAUUSD Weekly-Daily-H4 Outlook – April 28, 2025"Gold’s Game: Range Trap... or Breakout Incoming?" 👀⚡
🔥 Macro + Micro Context:
Macroflow: No major macro catalysts today — market sentiment driven mostly by technicals, liquidity behavior, and late-week reactions.
Bias:
HTF (D1–W1): Still bullish-biased long-term, unless 3220–3235 breaks cleanly.
LTF (H4–M30): Currently trapped in a wide distribution range 3380–3260, showing signs of both liquidity sweeps and engineered traps.
Liquidity Dynamics:
Both upside and downside liquidity have been targeted multiple times. Equal highs/lows patterns forming, suggesting fakeouts are highly probable before any real move.
📈 STRUCTURAL RANGE:
🔵 Main Range:
• Top: 3380–3395 → major flip zone (premium side)
• Bottom: 3260–3280 → major demand zone (discount side)
📚 Inside the range:
• Liquidity is being farmed on both sides — expect fake spikes, stop hunts, and whipsaw moves before breakout.
🔑 H4 Key Zones (Above Current Price):
Level Type Notes
3380–3395 Major Supply + Flip Zone HTF orderblock + FVG + previous sell trap
3410–3415 Minor Supply Zone M30–H1 imbalance + small FVG
3448–3455 Major Premium Supply HTF OB + FIBO 1.618 extension + historical premium trap
3490–3500 ATH Area Strong psychological level + institutional interest
🔑 H4 Key Zones (Below Current Price):
Level Type Notes
3260–3280 Major Discount Demand Strong H1-H4 unmitigated OB + liquidity grab zone
3220–3235 HTF Reversal Demand Last HTF pivot for bullish bias
📊 Expected Scenarios:
Bullish Path:
Hold 3260–3280 → Break 3380–3395 → Target 3415 → Then 3450–3500 range sweep.
Bearish Path:
Fail at 3380–3395 → Sharp rejections back into 3280 → Potential crash toward 3235 and 3210.
👀 EYES ON:
Watch the 3380–3395 flip zone closely.
If price fails there with heavy wicks and low volume, bulls are trapped again.
If price holds above 3395–3415 cleanly, bulls regain control for 3450+.
🧠 FINAL MESSAGE:
"The best traders don’t predict. They prepare."
"Trap or breakout — it’s all about reaction, not prediction. Stay sharp, stay liquid, and don’t chase the donkey moves."

Gold is in a long-short tug-of-war, waiting for a breakGold enters the range fluctuation in the 4-hour chart. From the chart, we can see that the trend is triangular, with high points gradually moving down and low points gradually moving up. When the space cannot be expanded, there will be a breakthrough in one direction. There will be news this week. Therefore, short-term trading still depends on highs and lows. The daily chart MACD begins to cross downward. The daily chart is horizontally consolidated and paused, unable to set a new high, and there is still a need for short-term correction. In summary, I suggest that short-term operations should focus on long and short positions, supplemented by long positions.
No need to hesitate, gold continues to be bullish
I just told you that you can go long near 3298. Gold once retreated to around 3275 during the European session.
I think if you want to go long, there is definitely a chance, and I have been emphasizing this.
I am still in a stable state, and I only suggest going long near 3290 during the US session.
As of now, gold has reached around 3330, which has reached my two target positions.
Since gold can stand at 3330, it will definitely continue to rise in the future.
At present, gold is a W-shaped structure, and it will definitely hit the top near 3360 in the future.
So, my suggestion here is still to go long. But maybe gold will not be given a position below 3300.
Therefore, if there is a subsequent retracement of gold, you can focus on entering the market near 3300-3310 and go long. The final target is still around 3360.
Gold (XAU/USD) – Bearish Head & Shoulders Pattern in PlayGold (XAU/USD) on 4hr timeframe chart is showing signs of a potential trend reversal after forming a classic Head & Shoulders pattern on the chart. The structure is well-defined, with both shoulders forming around the $3,360 zone and a prominent head at $3,435. The neckline support lies between $3,285–$3,295, which has now been broken multiple times, signaling possible continuation to the downside.
📉 Key Bearish Targets: TP1: $3,245
TP2: $3,190
TP3: $3,115
❌ Invalidation:
A strong close above $3,376, invalidate the setup.

Trade talks improve and confidence returns🔔🔔🔔 Gold news:
➡️ Gold prices declined as improved risk sentiment weakened demand for safe-haven assets. Optimistic U.S. macroeconomic data released on Thursday supported the USD, limiting gains for the precious metal.
➡️ On Friday, the U.S. dollar showed signs of recovery as market sentiment remained upbeat due to positive developments in trade negotiations. According to Reuters, the Trump administration appeared to be making progress in preliminary trade talks with Asian allies South Korea and Japan.
Personal opinion:
➡️ The sellers are gaining the upper hand thanks to optimistic news, and the buyers are resting due to little news affecting the upward momentum of gold prices.
The analysis is based on resistance - support levels and Pivot points combined with EMA to come up with a suitable strategy.
Personal plan:
🔆Price Zone Setup:
👉Buy Gold 3281 - 3284
❌SL: 3277 | ✅TP: 3289 - 3294 – 3300
👉Sell Gold 3369 - 3372
❌SL: 3377 | ✅TP: 3365 - 3360 – 3355

4/29 Gold Trading SignalsThe buy orders initiated around 3273 yesterday have already delivered solid profits.
After a slight rally at today’s opening, gold prices have pulled back.
Currently, the candlestick formation shows no clear directional trend, while some short-term technical indicators are pointing downward.
Before any corrective signals appear, we need to closely watch the support near 3306.
As long as this level holds, the short-term bullish momentum still has a chance to continue.
On the news side, today's scheduled data releases are of minor impact.
Focus instead on developments regarding the India-Pakistan situation and US Treasury Secretary Bessent’s press conference.
If geopolitical tensions escalate, gold may break out to new highs.
🔹 Today's Trading Strategy:
Sell within 3407-3428 zone
Buy within 3258-3223 zone
Flexibly trade between 3346-3313 / 3378-3336 / 3273-3316 zones
Please manage your positions carefully and stay alert for unexpected market moves.
XAUUSD Bearish - SELLMarket Overview
Asset: Gold (XAU/USD)
Timeframe: 1H
Current Trend: Downtrend
Market Context:
Fundamental Drivers: Gold faces downward pressure due to a strengthening US Dollar, driven by the Fed’s hawkish outlook on April 28, 2025, with no anticipated rate cuts in Q2 2025. Rising US 10-year Treasury yields (near 4.6%) are reducing demand for non-yielding assets like Gold.
Recent Price Action: Gold rallied to the $2,450–$2,460 zone but was rejected, forming a lower high after failing to break above the 50-period EMA, consistent with a broader downtrend from the March 2025 high ($2,500).
Sentiment: Bearish sentiment prevails, with risk-on markets (e.g., S&P 500 gains) diminishing Gold’s safe-haven appeal.
Gold (XAU/USD) – Bearish Pennant Breakdown SetupGold is forming a bearish pennant on the 4H chart, suggesting a potential continuation of the prior bearish leg. A confirmed break below the $3,275 support area may trigger further downside toward the key targets.
Fundamentally, gold faces pressure from a firmer USD and rising real yields, which could accelerate selling momentum.
Pattern: Bearish Pennant
Sell Entry: Below $3,275
Targets:
* Target 1 – $3,260
* Target 2 – $3,240
* Target 3 – $3,200
Bias: Bearish
Trade Status: Setup forming – trade inactive until confirmed breakdown
