Gold: Directional Break ImminentYesterday’s market remained calm without any significant swings, unlike the strong movements we’ve seen previously. Today, however, appears to be a critical turning point as the market prepares for a directional breakout.
📊 Technical Overview:
Gold is showing signs of retesting the resistance around 3240, while short-term support lies at 3194–3188. If this resistance holds and the price fails to break above, a double-top pattern may form—potentially triggering a major drop between Wednesday and Thursday.
If the price breaks above 3240, there may be around $30 of additional upside, but this is likely to mark the formation of a short-term top, followed again by a decline.
🎯 Key Bearish Target Zones: 3137-3106
Whether it breaks upward or downward, a bearish opportunity is building. Stay patient, follow the price action, and avoid emotional decisions to catch the move at the right moment.

Gold: It may Fall below 3180 todayOver the weekend, Trump announced a pause on tariffs for popular consumer electronics, prompting gold to gap down to 3210 at today’s open;
✅ Our recommended short entries at 3230–3260 are already in profit;
New semiconductor tariff announcements are due during the U.S. session today — the key driver for gold’s next move;
Given the fragile U.S. political/economic backdrop, escalating tariff conflict is unlikely, increasing the chance of bearish impact on gold;
With gold already trading at a premium, any "tariff relief" narrative will likely trigger speculative sell-offs;
If you're holding short positions, consider being patient — avoid premature exits due to emotional reaction to minor pullbacks.
Maintain key short entry zone: 3230 – 3260;
Expect gold to test below 3180 if market sentiment shifts
4/14 Gold Trading StrategiesLast Friday, gold showed a strong unidirectional rally followed by tight-range consolidation at high levels. Our bearish-biased strategy yielded limited profits, and some traders may still be holding trapped positions due to delayed exits. However, structurally, gold’s current posture signals early signs of exhaustion, and a pullback remains likely.
🔥【Key Headlines to Watch】
🇺🇸 The U.S. has suspended tariffs on popular consumer electronics, causing gold to gap down by $30 at today’s open.
🛠️ Trump is expected to unveil details on semiconductor tariffs — a reduction or pause will likely pressure gold lower.
💬 Two Fed officials speak today:
Barkin: Speech on “Navigating Through Economic Fog”
Cook: Remarks on the Fed’s evolving role in the economy.
📊 The NY Fed 1-Year Inflation Expectations report will be released — market expectations are bearish for gold.
🔍【Technical Outlook】
Gold remains near historic highs, trading at an extended premium;
The recent rally has been largely driven by speculative inflows, not solid demand;
If sentiment flips or profit-taking begins, a sharp sell-off could follow;
Structurally, gold appears to be forming a top — favor short setups at elevated levels.
🎯【Trade Setup for Today】

Gold Maintains Weekly Bullish Structure Amid PullbackGold Weekly Technical Outlook
Gold (XAU/USD) remains in a clear bullish trend on the weekly chart, currently trading around $3,230. After marking a new high, price action suggests a potential pullback—a healthy retracement that could set the stage for further gains.
Key Levels to Watch:
Current Price: $3,230
Retracement Zone:
First support at $3,100, a recent consolidation level
Deeper support between $2,950 – $2,900, aligned with prior breakout structure and strong demand from earlier in the trend
These levels are key for a potential bounce, as they mark high-probability zones for buyers to re-enter the market.
Upside Targets:
Short-term resistance: $3,280
Primary target (by mid-May): $3,400
This level aligns with the projected extension of the ascending structure and continuation of bullish momentum
Technical Outlook:
As long as gold holds above $2,900, the weekly bullish trend remains intact. A rebound from the retracement zone would likely lead to a renewed rally targeting the $3,400 region.
Gold's main rise is not over yet, long is still the core strategHeading into next week, we maintain a bullish medium-term outlook on gold, with a continued preference for trend-following long positions.
Although short-term bearish attempts persist, the broader upward structure remains intact, with pullbacks presenting tactical buying opportunities.
Key support is observed around $3,200/oz, which serves as a strategic level for initiating low-risk long entries within the ongoing uptrend.

Gold Ideas April 11th - Brand new ATH 3220 & PPI✨ MARKET CONTEXT:
Gold is currently testing the 3220 supply ceiling after a massive bullish leg. Liquidity has been swept above March highs, and PA is now in a highly reactive zone. If price rejects here, we look for imbalances to be mitigated below before continuation.
🙌Wait for clear PA confirmation on all entries (5-15m structure shift, engulfing candles, liquidity grabs).
If PPI news hits hard, we might see manipulation — trade after the first 15–30 min.
Don’t overtrade. Let the levels come to you.
Goldie loves the drama. You love the sniper entries. 💅🏽🎯
🎯 Key Reversal Zones for Friday (Potential Pullback if News Hits or Profit Taking Begins):
1. 3190–3195: Minor mitigation zone for continuation longs.
2. 3183–3189: Ideal for sniper entries on a juicy dip.
3. 3170–3175: Key mid-structure retest + liquidity zone.
4. 3148–3155: Full pullback area if market turns bearish post-news.
Keep these levels on your radar, especially if Friday gets volatile. Don’t chase the hype—let price come to you.
🧵 Key Imbalance Refill Zones:
- 3195–3203: First scalp area, high confluence.
- 3178–3184: Strong impulse base.
- 3162–3169: Ideal sniper entry with bullish PA.
- 3148–3154: Big daddy support (but news sensitive!).

Gold Price Surpasses $3,200 for the First Time in HistoryGold Price Surpasses $3,200 for the First Time in History
According to the XAU/USD chart today, the price of an ounce of gold is fluctuating above the $3,200 level on global exchanges — a level never reached before.
Since the beginning of 2025, gold has gained approximately 22%.
Why Is Gold Rising Today?
Today’s bullish momentum in the gold market is driven by two key factors.
First, inflation data. Figures released yesterday for the CPI (Consumer Price Index) revealed a slowdown in inflation in the United States. This suggests a greater likelihood of monetary policy easing by the Federal Reserve. According to Reuters, gold prices now reflect expectations of three interest rate cuts by the end of 2025 — and lower rates typically support a stronger XAU/USD.
Second, fears of a global recession. Although US President Donald Trump has introduced a 90-day delay on the implementation of international trade tariffs, this does not apply to China, where tariffs have been increased to a striking 145%. Traders fear that Beijing could retaliate by raising tariffs on US goods beyond the current 84%.
Technical Analysis of XAU/USD
At present, the gold market is showing strong upward momentum, which began in early March (as illustrated by the blue trend channel). Key points include:
→ A breakout above the upper boundary of the channel;
→ The RSI indicator suggests a potential bearish divergence forming.
This points to the possibility of a short-term pullback into the blue channel, which would be a natural correction — especially considering the rapid $200 surge from $3,000 to $3,200 over just two days. However, given the current news backdrop, it seems unlikely that the bulls will relinquish control anytime soon.

4/11 Gold Trading StrategyFresh High Above 3170 – Momentum Continues, but Chasing Longs Is Risky
Gold delivered a strong one-sided rally yesterday, rising from around 3078 to above 3170, setting a fresh short-term high. While CPI and jobless claims data were modestly bullish, most of the rally occurred before the data release, suggesting that the move was primarily technically driven rather than fundamentally triggered.
As we anticipated yesterday, the price did reach above 3170 , and as clearly stated, we did not recommend chasing long positions at those highs. This view remains unchanged today.
🔍【Technical Insights】
The recovery from 2955 back to 3160+ took just 2 sessions, versus 4 sessions for the prior drop from 3167 — a clear sign of momentum dominance.
The daily chart shows two strong bullish candles, typically a sign of follow-through potential.
However, new highs reached under this structure tend to attract profit-taking and possible pullbacks.
If a technical correction occurs, look to 3143–3128 as a meaningful support zone for long opportunities.
🎯【Today's Gold Trade Setup】
🔻Sell Zone: 3188 – 3215
Look for short entries near resistance after overextension
🔺Buy Zone: 3134 – 3112
Wait for a healthy pullback to consider long positions
🔄Range Zone: 3178 – 3143
Flexible trading range — favor quick in/out trades in the zone
Gold: CPI Data Trading ViewsToday's signals for XAUUSD / BTCUSD / GBPUSD all hit their targets!
Congrats to everyone who followed—great profits all around!
🕒 Reminder: CPI data will be released in 1.5 hours.
Before that, we may see:
A quiet, ranging market, or
A pre-release pricing-in scenario that leads to sharp volatility ⚠️
Trading Suggestions:
✅ If you want to avoid unnecessary risk, it’s better to pause trading and wait for the data release
✅ If you're holding positions, please:
Manage your risk carefully
For large positions, consider partial closing or adding SL
Post-CPI Strategy Outlook:
Price has reached key resistance zones
If the data is bullish, further upside may be limited due to:
Proximity to recent highs
Remaining selling pressure in the market
Therefore, focus on:
High-level short entries or low-level long entries
Avoid blindly chasing the market—don’t go long at the top or short at the bottom
To sum it up:
Control your emotions, manage your positions wisely.
The 30 minutes after the CPI release will separate winners from losers!
4/10 Gold Trading StrategiesGold maintained a bullish tone yesterday, with prices recovering steadily toward the 3100 level, offering smooth trade opportunities and favorable returns.
However, today presents a significantly more complex trading environment due to several high-impact events:
🇺🇸 US CPI (MoM + Core CPI)
📝 Initial Jobless Claims
🗣️ Fed speakers including Barkin and Schmid
Technically, gold is now at a crucial inflection point , where market interpretation diverges:
If this is merely a corrective rebound in a broader downtrend , the move may be near completion.
If instead it's a healthy retracement in an ongoing uptrend, we could be in the middle phase of a continued climb.
Given the mix of technical ambiguity and fundamental uncertainty, a neutral and reactive trading stance is essential today.
🎯【Recommended Strategy & Positioning】
Trade Against Emotional Swings
Avoid chasing price during high-volatility news. Look to sell after sharp rallies and buy after sharp dips , minimizing exposure to emotional trades.
Key Zone Analysis – Watch the Trapped Orders
3128–3158: Zone where many long positions may be trapped — watch for selling pressure.
3016–2978: Former short-entry zone — potential area for long-side reactivation if retested.
📌【Today's Key Trade Zones】
🔻 Sell Zone: 3143 – 3168
🔺 Buy Zone: 3013 – 2979
🔄 Flexible Zone 1: 3109 – 3058
🔄 Flexible Zone 2: 3045 – 3013
❗ Above 3170, focus only on short positions — avoid chasing long trades at elevated levels.
Risk aversion continues to escalate, go long after gold retreats
Gold has two effective support positions. The first one is near 3048, and gold rises rapidly after hitting the bottom of 3048. The second one is near 3070. If gold does not break through 3070, it will continue its strong bull market. If gold falls back near 3048, then gold may start to maintain a large range of shocks.
Trading idea: Go long near gold 3070, stop loss 3060, target 3100
Gold: Watch for Selling OpportunitiesGold remains under pressure around the 3100 level, where previous trapped buyers are creating significant selling pressure. The heavier resistance zone lies between 3127–3146, so if you’re holding long positions, don’t be greedy — this is a crucial area to watch!
Tomorrow during the U.S. session, we’re expecting major economic data and headlines. The market will likely see high volatility, and instead of a clear one-way trend, there’s a higher chance of a two-way sweep (both up and down).
Trading Advice for Tomorrow:
Avoid chasing price or getting caught in emotional trades.
Control your position size — even if you end up holding during turbulence, a small and managed position won’t hurt you. You might even come out profitable.
But if you enter with full margin and no risk control, the result could be heavy losses or even blowing your account. This is my honest advice!
During the Asian and European sessions, the technical outlook favors short positions. Consider selling around the 3103–3123 zone, with support levels at:
3078 / 3066 / 3051 / 3027 / 3011
I will release updated strategies for the U.S. session tomorrow based on key data releases. Stay tuned and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Good luck and trade safe!
4/9 Gold Trading Strategies
Gold opened with a mild bullish tone yesterday but faced resistance near 3018 , pulling back briefly before attempting a second push toward 3023 . However, the rally failed to sustain, and price returned near the opening level. Compared to recent sessions, yesterday marked a clear contraction in volatility, suggesting either a bottoming formation or a setup for a directional breakout.
From both candlestick structure and indicator alignment, the market appears primed for a potential bullish push today. If momentum builds as expected, a test of the 3037–3043 resistance zone is highly probable.
On the downside, 2976 remains the key initial support , followed by 2952 , which was the previous local low.
On the fundamental side, no major data releases are scheduled today. However, updates related to tariff policies will likely be the main market driver, and could trigger intraday volatility.
🎯 【Trade Setup for Today】
🔻Sell Zone: 3047–3066
🔺Buy Zone: 2968–2942
🔄Flexible/Scalping Zone: 2978–3023
4/8 Gold Trading StrategyYesterday, gold dipped to the 2950 support zone, still under bearish pressure. However, the market did not enter into an extreme one-sided sell-off. Instead, an intraday rebound suggested that short-term buying interest is beginning to emerge.
Following last week's and yesterday’s sharp correction, the 1-hour technical structure has started to show early signs of a potential bottom. While a retest of the 2960–2950 area in the near term cannot be ruled out, the broader price action now supports the technical conditions for a medium- to short-term rebound.
Currently, gold is stabilizing around the 2980-2960 level. Even if additional bearish pressure emerges, the maximum downside support is expected in the 2919–2888 range. This suggests a likely transition into a low-level consolidation and base-building phase, rather than a continued steep decline.
From a technical perspective, the 3100 zone is a key corrective target for this pullback. The market may gradually move higher to complete a structure recovery, offering a limited-risk, clearly defined opportunity for the bulls.
📌 Key intraday resistance levels:
3018 → 3037 → 3058 → 3079
📌 Trading Strategy for Today:
🟢 Buy Zone: 2976 – 2948
🔴 Sell Zone: 3048 – 3062
🔁 Scalp/Range Zone: 3032 – 2998
XAUUSD hourly trend analysis for April 09, 2025XAUUSD trend is currently bearish. Once it closes above 3023, there is an immediate resistance at 3050. But 3050 may not indicate bullishness unless Trend trading indicator confirms the signal. Once the Buy is confirmed, there would be an immediate resistance at 3090. This is just my view.
Gold: Buy, Target 3004-3028On the 1H chart, the MACD is showing a bullish divergence, signaling a potential bottom. If gold can build a base around 2960-2980, bulls will have the upper hand from a technical standpoint.
While today's major macro news will hit during the U.S. session, technical analysis dominates the Asian and European sessions — which favors a buy-on-dip strategy.
The 3030 resistance, which wasn’t tested yesterday, may be reached today.
If the price drops unexpectedly, watch the 2946-2928-2916 zone for new buying opportunities — especially 2928-2916, which is a strong support zone.
Buy:2960 - 2980
TP:3004 - 3028
After a brief rebound, gold continues to be short-sellingThe gold 1-hour moving average is still in a downward dead cross short arrangement, and the gold short strength is still there. The gold moving average resistance has now moved down to around 3002. After gold fell below 3000, gold accelerated its decline again, indicating that gold is still at an important level around 3000. The volatility of gold has only increased recently, so don't think that the market has reversed because it seems to have rebounded a lot. The recent fluctuations of tens of dollars in the gold market are normal.
Trading ideas: short gold around 3000, stop loss 3010, target 2970
Gold has won two consecutive games, continue to short?Gold continued to be in a dead cross downward short position at 1 hour. The strength of gold short positions has not diminished. Gold fell near the resistance of 3017, and the gold moving average resistance has now moved down to near 3021. After gold rebounds, it is still mainly short selling.
Trading ideas: short gold near 3015, stop loss 3025, target 2990

XAUUSD ShortWhat a Monday that was! Price broke way below 3000 and even hit 2954 level. It was a little shaky so I opt to not put in my positions, even if my predictions were correct, I chose to play safe. Today, price is still a little unstable but placing a position so to catch some pips if ever. Iv placed an SL just for Tradingview purposes, here's my position info: Open at 3014// SL 3164//TP 2964. As usual we decide as we go, but let's see how this trade rolls :)
