After Monday’s correction, Gold continued lower – but the drop has been extremely choppy, making swing trading nearly impossible in this environment. 🔄 Short-term vs. Weekly Picture On the 1H chart, price action is messy and directionless. However, the weekly chart tells a clearer story – which is not bullish at this moment. ❗ Let’s not rush into the “new...

After Monday’s correction into the 3380 support zone, Gold entered a consolidation phase. Bulls attempted to push higher but failed to reclaim the 3400 resistance area. ❓ Is this just the beginning of a deeper leg down? 🔻 Why further downside is likely: • Price broke decisively below the 3380 horizontal support just hours ago • The market is now trading...

Price initially broke above the key 3340–3350 resistance zone, only to drop back below it—but intriguingly, it closed above it on the New York session.

1.

What Happened Next? After rejecting the resistance, gold touched 3300 again, but again,...

Yesterday’s price action confirmed what we’ve been discussing in recent updates: the upside is vulnerable, and the real move could be lower. Gold did push toward the 3400 zone, as expected — but that test was short-lived. Sellers stepped in aggressively, and price dropped back toward the 3350 support zone, closing the day with a bearish engulfing candle on the...

In my previous analysis, I pointed out the possibility of Gold correcting back to retest the broken descending trendline. That zone is now acting as a key confluence area, and as long as the price holds above it, bulls maintain the advantage. However, beyond the technicals, I also shared my personal view: while we could see some upside in the short term (next...

Since early May, I’ve been highlighting the 142 support zone on USDJPY as a potential reversal area — with a suggested upside target at 146. The market respected this level twice, reversing from 142 and rallying past 146 both times. However, last week’s move into 146 was sharply rejected, forming a strong daily Pin Bar exactly at resistance — a classic sign of...

Trading Is Both Art and Science Every trader, no matter how data-driven, eventually encounters moments when they just know something about the market. That quiet internal signal: “Don’t touch this today.” Or: “Get ready. Something’s coming.” That’s not random emotion. That’s your gut feeling – and in trading, it's worth paying attention to. But here's the...

🟡 What Happened Yesterday Gold surged strongly yesterday due to escalating geopolitical tensions and a new chapter in the global tariff saga.

In last week’s GBPUSD outlook, I pointed to the 1.34 zone as a potential buy area and likely end of the correction. The market reacted as expected, reversing from 1.34 and rallying to 1.35. Toward the end of the week, a brief correction followed — but price held above 1.34 and has now returned to 1.35, printing a higher low in the process. 📌 From both a...

After testing the 102 resistance zone in mid-May, the TVC:DXY resumed its downward move, dropping back into the 98.50–99.00 support zone. The brief spike above the psychological 100 was quickly rejected, and price has since rolled over — currently trading around 99.27 at the time of posting. 🔻 The downside pressure is strong, and a break below support looks...

📉 What happened yesterday on Gold (XAUUSD) I started the day under a good omen – 🎯 my 3250 target being hit perfectly. However, what initially looked like a standard correction turned into a stronger bounce. Gold broke back above my re-selling zone and even pushed above 3310, triggering my stop loss, and worth nothing that we are now back under 3300- I take it...

🕰️ What Happened Yesterday In yesterday’s analysis, I argued that the 3320–3330 zone should act as a strong sell zone, with a target down at the 3250 support. Gold respected the plan perfectly: it dropped from the 3325 area straight into 3250 during the Asia session, hitting the target with precision(700+ pips) At the time of writing, Gold is now bouncing, which...
