XAU/USD Intraday Plan | Support & Resistance to WatchGold is trading around $3,326, moving lower after repeated failures to reclaim the $3,344 resistance yesterday. Price is now testing the lower edge of the First Support Zone ($3,324–$3,344). It remains capped below both the 50MA (pink) and 200MA (green), which have flattened out, indicating a bearish or indecisive market structure. If sellers gain momentum and break below $3,324, focus shifts toward the Secondary Support Zone ($3,304–$3,281). A clean break under $3,281 would expose the HTF Support Zone ($3,254–$3,229). For buyers, only a sustained move back above $3,344 and the 200MA would shift momentum, opening the path toward $3,364 and $3,386. 📌 Key Levels to Watch Resistance: $3,344 $3,364 $3,386 $3,406 Support: $3,324 $3,304 $3,281 $3,254 $3,229 📌 Fundamental Focus – Friday, Aug 22 Today’s spotlight is on the Jackson Hole Symposium, with key speeches from Fed Chair Powell, FOMC members, and President Trump expected to drive volatility. Markets will be highly reactive to policy signals and geopolitical remarks. ⚠️ Friday Risk Warning: Expect higher volatility, potential intraday manipulations, and sharp position adjustments as markets head into the weekend close. Liquidity often thins in late Friday sessions, so manage exposure carefully and avoid holding unnecessary risk over the weekend.

XAUUSD trend exhausion on small time frame.Market Update: Gold Order Flow and Bollinger Band Insights Gold has surged strongly in the last session, but deep insights from order flow data indicate a potential shift: negative delta has formed at the top of the rally, meaning sellers have overtaken buyers. This is a common precursor to profit-taking and possible short-term reversals.Meanwhile, price has closed outside the upper Bollinger Band, a technical signal that the uptrend may be overheated for now. When price exceeds the upper band after a strong move, it often marks trend exhaustion, with a high likelihood of a temporary pullback or sideways movement.Traders may want to take profits on long positions or look for short-term scalp sells while remaining alert to broader trend context." Explanation of indicators and their studies used. 1. Order Flow Insights The left chart uses a Volume Footprint (Order Flow) Chart to reveal detailed buying and selling activity at each price level for Gold/U.S. Dollar (XAU/USD). Notice the highlighted area: There is a negative delta (negative value, shown in red) at the top of the recent price move. Delta represents the difference between aggressive buyers and sellers at each price level. Negative delta means sellers dominated. This pattern is a confirmation of profit booking by buyers and signals that sellers are taking control as the buying momentum fades. 2. Bollinger Upper Band and Trend Exhaustion The right chart shows the Bollinger Bands overlaid on a 15-minute candlestick chart. The recent candle closed outside the upper Bollinger Band:This is a classic sign of momentum overheating, as prices stretch far from the mean (the middle Bollinger Band).When price closes outside the upper band after a strong run, it suggests trend exhaustion or at least a high risk of a short-term pullback. My translation into trade placement. Order flow reveals that after a strong rally, aggressive selling has emerged at the top, shown by the negative delta. This typically signals profit-taking from earlier buyers, and often leads to quick short-term pullbacks or potential reversal opportunities for nimble traders. The latest price action has pushed Gold sharply above the upper Bollinger Band, signaling the rally may be overextended. Historically, such moves are unsustainable and often see at least a minor retracement or consolidation as buyers pause and sellers step in.

XAU/USD Intraday Plan | Support & Resistance to WatchPrice failed to break the $3,344 resistance yesterday, followed by a sharp move lower. It is currently trending just below the $3,324 resistance. Price remains capped under both moving averages, and the structure stays bearish. The first resistance is at $3,324. A sustained move above $3,344 is needed to shift momentum, opening the path toward $3,364 and $3,386. If buyers fail to reclaim this level, the downside bias remains intact, with risk of a test into the Secondary Support Zone ($3,304–$3,281). A clean break below that would expose the HTF Support Zone ($3,254–$3,229). 📌Key Levels to Watch Resistance: ‣ $3,324 ‣ $3,344 ‣ $3,364 ‣ $3,386 ‣ $3,406 Support: ‣ $3,304 ‣ $3,281 ‣ $3,254 ‣ $3,229 🔎 Fundamental Focus: The main event today is the FOMC Meeting Minutes , which could provide clearer signals on the Fed’s rate path and drive sharp moves in gold. ⚠️ Risk/Volatility Warning: High-impact news flow begins today with the Fed minutes and continues into Thursday’s data and Friday’s Jackson Hole Symposium. Expect increased volatility and fakeouts – manage risk carefully and wait for confirmation before entering trades.

Gold Technical Outlook – Midpoint Support Holds, Retest of 3,500On the Daily Chart, gold has been climbing steadily since New Year’s Day, with several pullbacks along the way but maintaining its overall bullish trajectory. After breaking into the 3,167.72 – 3,430.46 range, price has shown comfort within this zone. The midpoint at 3,286.94 (Green Line) has acted as a supportive bias, with price holding above it — reinforcing the view that bulls remain in control. That said, this period of consolidation has lasted longer than expected, breaking the previous rising trajectory (shown by the diagonal Red Line). This suggests that momentum has weakened. Importantly, this doesn’t confirm that the bullish run is over — but it does highlight the market’s current struggle to push higher with strength. A high of 3,500.02 was briefly tested but quickly rejected, which leads me to believe the market still has reason to retest that level in the near future.

The Silent Truth: The Market Reflects You“Every chart you look at is not showing the market. It’s showing you.” Most traders think they’re fighting the market. But the truth is — the market has no reason to fight you. It doesn’t know your entry, your stop, your target, or your fear. What it does know is this: your reaction . When price moves fast against you, what do you feel? When it slowly grinds in your favor, what thoughts rise? When you miss a setup, what story do you tell yourself? The market reflects these things back at you. The frustration is yours. The hesitation is yours. The overconfidence is yours. Price is just price. Neutral. Silent. Indifferent. But through that silence, it becomes a mirror. And until you stop projecting your own fear and greed onto the chart, you’ll keep seeing ghosts that don’t exist. The real edge is not in finding the perfect setup. It’s in facing the reflection without distortion. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror If this resonates, share your thoughts in the comments. Sometimes the most important discussion in trading isn’t about levels or entries — it’s about the trader in the mirror.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey everyone, Following up on yesterday’s update for our 1H chart route map: The key retracement range continued to provide support, and we saw the reactionary bounce we expected. Right now, we’re range-bound between 3329 and 3354. As long as 3329 holds, we can expect continued bounces, tracking the movement upward. 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 20 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. BULLISH TARGET 3403 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3403 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGETS 3422 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3422 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 3439 BEARISH TARGETS 3377 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3377 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BEARISH TARGET 3354 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3354 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BEARISH TARGET 3329 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3329 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE 3304 3281 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

xauusd (GOLD): a signal Hi guys! Key Technical Points: Ascending Channel: Price action has been moving within a well-defined ascending channel. Currently, the price has pulled back and is approaching the lower boundary of this channel. This lower boundary often acts as a support area where buyers might step in. Support Zone (Red Box): The red highlighted area, around $ 3,340-$ 3,350 USD, is a key support zone. This zone aligns w ith the lower boundary of the channel , adding more weight to the support. Price is currently testing this area, which could act as a springboard for the next upward move. Resistance Zone (Blue Box): The upper resistance zone between roughly 3,425 and 3,440 USD is a major target for bulls. This is a previous high area where sellers might re-enter the market. ------------------------------------------------------- Trade Idea: Long Position: Entry could be considered near the lower boundary of the channel and the red support zone (around 3,340-3,350 USD). Stop loss placement: Just below the red support zone to limit downside risk. Target: The upper resistance zone at around 3,425-3,440 USD.
