XAUUSD Daily Sniper Plan – July 17-18, 2025Hello traders! After yesterday’s high-volatility trap and NY session recovery, we now stand at a major structural junction. Buyers reclaimed 3310–3314 with precision, but price is pressing into multi-timeframe supply. Let’s break it down clearly 🔸 HTF Bias Daily Bias: Bullish correction inside a larger range. Demand at 3310–3305 was swept and respected, but supply at 3347–3360 caps upside. H4 Bias: Bullish flow into supply. Structure printed clean HLs from 3295–3310. However, current zone is full of short-term profit-taking risk. H1 Bias: Bullish short-term trend. Price built higher lows from 3310, but now sits at 3340–3347 — reactive zone where momentum could fade if no breakout. 🔸 Key Structural Zones (with role) 🔺 Supply Zones (Above Price): 3347–3360 (D1/H4/H1 Supply) 🔹 Multi-timeframe confluence 🔹 Previous reaction + NY trap zone 🔹 Expect heavy rejection or false breakout wicks 3366–3385 (D1 Supply) 🔹 Final liquidity shelf for buyers 🔹 Only valid if 3347 breaks clean 🔹 Longs must wait for confirmation after breakout ⚔️ Decision Zones (Middle): 3335–3328 (Intraday Flip Zone) 🔹 M15-M30 structure control 🔹 Buyers can reload here on clean bounce 🔹 If price closes below, opens door for bearish momentum 🔻 Demand Zones (Below Price): 3314–3310 (H1/H4 Demand – Key Buy Area) 🔹 Institutional demand origin 🔹 Price tapped, swept, and reclaimed 🔹 Ideal sniper buys only on retest with bullish M15 BOS 3305–3295 (Deep Reversal Demand) 🔹 Extreme discount 🔹 Valid only if 3310 fails 🔹 High RR buys if liquidity sweep appears 🔸 Sniper Battle Plan 🎯 Scenario 1 – Fade from 3347–3360: 🔹 If rejection signs (M15 FVG + RSI divergence), short toward 3335, 3314 🔹 Only enter if NY open confirms exhaustion Scenario 2 – Pullback to 3335–3328: 🔹 Ideal quick buys on bounce with confirmation 🔹 Watch for BOS on LTF for sniper entry Today’s zones require real discipline: no rush, no panic — just clear steps, sharp entries, and clean rejections or retests. You already saw what 3310–3305 reacted. The next move? You plan it. You take it. You own it. ✨ Which zone are you watching for your next move?

OIL: The Chances To Drop Are Growing FurtherOIL: The Chances To Drop Are Growing Further OIL has days in this zone. Overall it's developing as I explained earlier. The price increased a bit more than expected but again it's in a strong structure zone and is holding strong. I think that OIL has to create a better pattern, but overall it looks poised to drop further from this zone with targets 60 and 56 You may find more details in the chart! Thank you and Good Luck!

GOLD → Borders are shrinking. Consolidation continues...FX:XAUUSD is adjusting amid controversial CPI data and confirming the local bearish market structure. The PPI is ahead, and gold is consolidating, with its boundaries continuing to narrow... Gold is recovering slightly but remains under pressure amid rising bond yields and a stronger US dollar. Higher inflation in the US reduces the chances of a quick Fed rate cut. Traders are cautious ahead of the PPI data release. If producer inflation exceeds forecasts, the dollar may rise again, putting further pressure on gold Technically, we see consolidation in a symmetrical triangle pattern. Trading within the consolidation has a negative side - low volatility and unpredictable movements. The purpose of such movements is accumulation. However, decisions can be made based on relatively strong levels. In the current situation, we are seeing a rebound from 0.5 Fibonacci (I do not rule out a retest of the 0.7 zone before correction). The price may head towards the liquidity zone of 3322 before rising to the upper boundary of the consolidation and the zone of interest of 3350-3360. Resistance levels: 3345, 3353, 3369 Support levels: 3322, 3312, 3287 The problem is that the price is in a consolidation phase. That is, technically, it is standing still and moving between local levels. You can trade relative to the indicated levels. Focus on PPI data. At the moment, gold is in the middle of a triangle and is likely to continue trading within the boundaries of a narrowing channel due to uncertainty... Best regards, R. Linda!

Hellena | Oil (4H): SHORT to support area of 63.000.Colleagues, I believe that wave “B” has formed at the level of 69.938, and now we expect the downward movement to continue with the aim of completing wave ‘C’ of the middle order and wave “2” of the higher order in the support area of 63,000. It is quite possible that the price could reach the 60,000 level, but I think that for now it is worth focusing on the nearest targets. Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!

Gold Pullback in play Aiming Growth for 3400Gold prices initially rejected from recent highs and found strong support, indicating limited downside. Despite the recovery, gold remains under pressure due to rising U.S. bond yields and a stronger U.S. dollar. The higher-than-expected inflation data from the U.S. has reduced the likelihood of an early Fed rate cut, which is weighing on the metal. Technical Analysis: If the 1H candle closes above 3350, the price is likely to push back into the bullish zone. Potential upside targets: 3378 and 3400 You any see more details in the chart.

GOLD tests $3,310 then recovers, continues sidewaysInternational OANDA:XAUUSD fell to the support level of 3,310 USD, then recovered and continued to stabilize sideways due to the stronger US Dollar and market tensions eased after US President Trump said it was "extremely unlikely" to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. As of the time of writing, spot OANDA:XAUUSD was trading at 3,339 USD/oz. Reuters reported on Wednesday that Trump is still open to the possibility of firing Powell. However, Trump said on Wednesday that he has no intention of firing Powell at this time, but did not completely rule out the possibility and reiterated his criticism of the Fed chairman for not lowering interest rates. Data showed US producer prices unexpectedly held steady in June, as the impact of higher import tariffs on goods was offset by weakness in the services sector. The unchanged US PPI in June showed wholesale prices were stabilising, suggesting the economic impact of tariffs may be smaller than initially feared. The lower-than-expected core CPI and core PPI data did not provide the boost that was expected, which could mean that the market is focusing on other aspects. More broadly, as the Fed gradually eases policy, real yields could continue to fall, and gold will maintain its upward trend. However, if the market continues to reprice expectations for a hawkish rate cut, this could trigger a short-term correction. SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), said its holdings rose 0.33% to 950.79 tonnes on Wednesday from 947.64 tonnes in the previous session. Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, gold rebounded after falling and tested the support level noted by readers in yesterday's edition at 3,310 USD. The recovery brought gold prices back to work around the EMA21, continuing the sideways accumulation trend. Structurally there is no change, as for gold to qualify for an upside move it needs to break resistance at the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level then the short term target is the raw price point of $3,400. Meanwhile for gold to complete its bearish cycle it needs to sell below the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement level then the short term target would be around $3,246, more than the 0.50% Fibonacci retracement level. The relative strength index (RSI) is also unchanged with the RSI activity around 50, indicating a hesitant market sentiment without leaning towards any particular trend. Intraday, the technical outlook for gold prices continues to be a sideways accumulation trend, and the notable positions will be listed as follows. Support: 3,310 – 3,300 – 3,292 USD Resistance: 3,350 – 3,371 USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3386 - 3384⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3390 →Take Profit 1 3378 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3372 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3276 - 3278⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3272 →Take Profit 1 3284 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3290

GOLD's narrowing range, tariffs, Trump's political dramaOANDA:XAUUSD is still trading in a narrowing range, affected by the tariff game and the political drama that Trump is building. Currently, the price of gold is trading around 3,339 USD/oz, equivalent to a small decrease of about 7 dollars on the day. Tariff Game On July 16, US President Donald Trump announced that he would send letters to more than 150 countries, with tariffs expected to be 10% or 15%, to promote trade. He said these countries are not major US partners and will be treated equally, but left open the possibility of negotiating exemptions. The tariffs are similar to those proposed in April but were postponed due to concerns about market volatility. The resumption of the tariffs continues to destabilize financial markets and surprised partners such as the European Union, as they hoped to reach an early agreement with the US. Political Play Also on July 16, global financial markets were shaken by rumors that President Trump intended to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Many major news agencies such as the New York Times, Bloomberg and Reuters reported that Trump had prepared a letter of dismissal and consulted with Republican lawmakers, receiving positive feedback. Removing Powell before his term was believed to undermine confidence in the US financial system and the safe haven status of the USD. Trump later denied the plan, saying it was unlikely to happen unless there was serious wrongdoing. Markets reacted strongly: the USD fell and then recovered after Trump's statement, while gold lost most of its previous gains by the end of the session. The gold market in particular, and the financial economy in general, are being affected by the activities of Trump, the creator of the global trade war, and the plays of Trump and the FED leading the market. Therefore, the basic formula in the current market context is best to follow Trump, and make sure not to miss any of Trump's status lines. Technical outlook analysis of OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, the technical structure has not changed with the trend not yet clear and the price action clinging to the EMA21. The technical conditions do not favor an uptrend or a downtrend, typically the RSI moves around the 50 level, indicating a hesitant market sentiment. On the upside, gold needs to achieve the condition of breaking above the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level of the price point of 3,371 USD then the target level will be around 3,400 USD in the short term, more than 3,430 USD. Meanwhile, on the downside, gold needs to break below the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement, which would confirm a loss of the $3,300 level, then target around $3,246 in the short term, more than the 0.50% Fibonacci retracement. Intraday, the sideways trend of gold price accumulation will be noticed by the following technical positions. Support: $3,310 – $3,300 – $3,292 Resistance: $3,350 – $3,371 – $3,400 SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3381 - 3379⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3385 →Take Profit 1 3373 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3387 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3309 - 3311⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3305 →Take Profit 1 3317 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3323

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG: That was a difficult move to capture! I would not blame anyone for getting frustrated and FOMO'ing. Thankfully, we stuck to our guns, price was manipulated but our targets are completed as is the move we highlighted on Sundays KOG Report. I even say here and thought what on earth are they doing, but, we gave a level of 3318 as the line in the sand, we bounced before that and BOOM, all Excalibur targets completed in one go. Now, we have support below at the 3340-45 level which is where they may settle for the session, above 3340 we're still likely to see a retest of the level, however, we said there is a curveball this week, and look at what is happening. Can't remember the last time I saw price action this bad! Price: 3337 RED BOXES: Break above 3350 for 3355✅, 3362✅, 3370✅ and 3376✅ in extension of the move Break below 3335 for 3330✅, 3322✅, 3320✅ and 3314 in extension of the move As always, trade safe KOG

High Probability Short for Asia: Major Profit at 3318 Description: Gold remains under pressure below multiple descending trendlines and is consolidating above key support. With volatility high, there’s a strong chance of a breakdown during the Asia session. Trade Plan: Wait for a retest of the 3,340–3,355 resistance zone (yellow box). Watch for a bearish rejection (such as a strong wick, bearish engulfing, or high selling volume) at this zone—do not short blindly. Enter short after confirmed rejection. Trade Management: Take a big part of your profit at 3,318 (first blue support line). Once 3,318 is hit, immediately move your stop-loss to breakeven (your entry) for the remaining position. Let the rest run toward the next targets: 3,301 and 3,299, and possibly as low as 3,247 if the breakdown is strong. Key Points: High-probability move is expected during the Asia session. Trade only on confirmation, not at random levels. If price reclaims and holds above 3,355, bearish idea is invalid. Summary: Look for a confirmed rejection near 3,340–3,355. Take most profit at 3,318, move stop-loss to breakeven, and hold the rest for a potential deeper drop.

XAU / USD 1 Hour ChartHello traders. Looking at the push up from the overnight sessions, I am waiting to see if we push back down or do we start moving up. So for me, I am watching the $3354 area. If we can break and close above that, and with volume and favorable conditions for gold, we could partially fill, or fill the wick to the left marked on the chart. Let's see how things play out. There is no big new today here in the US. Watching the 30 min, the hourly and the 4 hour candles to see if I can get a good entry for scalp buy / sell trades. BIg G gets a shout out. Be well and trade the trend. Happy Friday.

GOLD POSSIBLE SELLPossible Scenarios: 🔻 Bearish Bias (Primary Scenario) Price is currently reacting from the 30-min supply zone. Under the descending trendline, maintaining lower highs. If rejection confirms, we may see a move down toward the 3310 level, and possibly into the 4H Demand Zone. Price Levels: Daily Swing Decision Level: 3365 — Sell below / Buy above level. Current price: 3336.80, just under this swing level, indicating bearish pressure. Immediate support: 3310, critical for buyer interest. Lower support: 3296.62, likely the next demand area if 3310 fails.

WTI Crude Oil ShortWTI Crude Oil – Technical & Macro Outlook 🔻 1. Supply Zone Rejection Expected (66.50–68.00 Range) Price is currently approaching a newly established supply zone between $66.50 and $68.00, which coincides with a prior consolidation area that preceded the recent sharp sell-off. This confluence enhances the zone’s relevance, especially given its position just below the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level (~$69.47), derived from the swing high at $75.79 to the swing low. 📌 Outlook: This region is expected to act as a high-probability rejection zone, likely attracting institutional sell-side interest. Price action within this zone should be monitored for signs of weakness or distribution. 📉 2. Downside Target: $61.50–$63.00 Demand Cluster Should the supply zone hold, downside momentum could drive WTI toward the $61.50–$63.00 demand range. This area is technically significant, supported by the following factors: Previous Change of Character (ChoCH) at $63.49, which marked the beginning of the recent bullish correction and represents a key structural pivot. Presence of stacked demand zones below $64, increasing the likelihood of a meaningful reaction from buyers. 📌 Outlook: This zone is expected to attract strong buying interest, making it a short-term profit-taking region for bears and a potential entry point for swing long setups, depending on confirmation. 🌍 Geopolitical Risk Landscape & Supply Dynamics Recent geopolitical developments continue to influence crude oil pricing dynamics: Middle East instability (e.g., Iraqi disruptions and ceasefire delays) has led to tightened supply conditions, pushing WTI above $67. Persistent uncertainty stemming from Iranian nuclear negotiations, ongoing U.S.–China tariff risks, and regional tensions contributes to a sustained risk premium. While OPEC+ is incrementally increasing production, this is offset by rising Saudi exports and weakening demand forecasts, which may result in inventory builds by late 2025. Russia’s export resilience—bolstered by strategic redirection toward Asia—suggests that any anticipated supply contraction could be less severe than expected. 🛢 WTI at $62 – Technical and Macro Implications A decline to $62 would place WTI at a major technical support level, closely watched by institutional participants. If tested, the market could react in the following ways: Bargain hunting and value-based buying may emerge, especially if macroeconomic data aligns with a recovery narrative. Heightened volatility is likely, driven by sensitivity to any shifts in global risk sentiment—particularly those tied to trade policy, OPEC+ production surprises, or further geopolitical escalations. 📌 Summary Resistance: $66.50–$68.00 (pre-breakdown supply + 0.5 Fib) Support / Target: $61.50–$63.00 (demand + structural ChoCH) Bias: Short-term bearish toward demand, with high reactivity expected near $62 Risk Factors: Elevated geopolitical uncertainty and diverging supply dynamics across OPEC+, Russia, and the U.S.

Gold rebound brings bearish opportunities Before the fishermen go out to sea, they don't know where the fish are? But they still choose to go because they believe they will return with a full load. When you invest, you don't know whether you can make a profit, but you still need to try, and from the moment you decide to do it, you must insist on believing to gain something. The same is true for gold investment. You may still be losing money at the moment, but as long as you find me, all losses will be solved! Views on the trend of gold! In terms of gold, unfortunately, the bulls don't seem to last long, and they are also a bit unstable! Emphasize the most critical point, the continuous rise of the sun, the first wave of V-shaped rebound last night, and then the high-level oscillation, and there was no continuation of the rise of the sun last night. The bulls did not take off in one wave, but were held down again. But in the same way, don't think that the bulls are held down, and the bears will come. We still have to distinguish according to the range and strength. In many cases, the market maintains a oscillating range. So how do you look at it today? Is there still hope for the bulls? From the perspective of correction, every big drop has poor continuity, and they all bottom out and rebound, just like gold fell to 3310 last night and violently rose to 3344, so there is a high probability that there will be continuation after the retracement today. On the one hand, even if it rebounds, it is also volatile, and the rebound and second decline is the continuation of the market. Therefore, currently pay attention to two points, the upward pressure 3355, and the downward strength and weakness dividing point 3325! Gold: You can short at the rebound of 3350-55, defend 10 US dollars, and the target is 3330-25! If it breaks 3325, it will look down to the double bottom support of 3310. On the contrary, if it does not break, it can be shorted and look up to 3345-50!
