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 trade ideas
Gold price fluctuates! Gold operation guide!Market news:
In the early Asian session on Thursday (July 17), spot gold fluctuated in a narrow range and is currently trading around $3,341 per ounce. Rumors that Trump plans to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Powell caused violent market fluctuations. The US dollar once plummeted, and then narrowed the decline; while the London gold price gave up most of its gains after soaring. If Powell is fired in advance, it may be unfavorable to the US dollar, because it will shake the outside world's confidence in the US financial system and the safe-haven status of the US dollar.
Trump's repeated statements have caused the international gold price to experience violent fluctuations in a short period of time. The market's concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve have become an important driving force for the rise in gold prices. However, geopolitical tensions still support gold prices. Israel launched an airstrike on Damascus, Syria on Wednesday, destroying the Ministry of Defense building, which is very close to the Syrian presidential palace. Trump's trade policy has further injected uncertainty into the gold market.
Technical Review:
The news that Trump's big mouth "considered replacing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell" caused violent fluctuations in the financial market. Although the storm subsided after Trump's denial, Wall Street has sounded the alarm. Rumors that Trump will fire Powell caused market volatility, and the US dollar index plunged and closed down 0.36% during the session. Spot gold was on a roller coaster ride, rising sharply from 3320 to 3377 in the late trading, then plunged back to 3336 and then rose again to 3357 before closing sideways around the 3350 mark.Technical daily chart structure alternates between positive and negative cycles to maintain the adjustment of the Bollinger band middle track, the indicator is neutral, the Bollinger band closes, and the RSI indicator is flat. The four-hour chart and hourly chart indicators are neutral. Affected by market news, the gold price alternates between long and short cycles and fluctuates widely, the moving average is glued, the RSI indicator middle axis is flat, and the Bollinger band is flat and closed. Gold maintains a wide range of fluctuations, selling at high prices and buying at low prices.
Today's analysis:
The gold market last night was quite exciting. In the middle of the night, Trump claimed that he would fire Powell. After the news came out, gold soared by more than 50 US dollars in a short period of time, but the market was only controlled by emotions in a short period of time. After all, the chairman of the Federal Reserve is independent, and Trump cannot have the right to fire Powell. Once the emotions passed, although gold fell sharply, it also pushed up the trend of gold prices to a certain extent! At present, after the strong rise of gold in 1 hour, it quickly fell back and closed with a long upper shadow line. The change in gold buying did not successfully stabilize. Then this market is actually a kind of catharsis of the news. The confidence of gold buying in directly rising again is not very sufficient. The gold 1-hour moving average is still in the form of dead cross selling. So gold rebounds or continues to sell.The gold 1-hour pattern excludes the influence of the upper shadow line stimulated by yesterday's news. In fact, the whole rhythm is still fluctuating and falling. The upper shadow time is not long, and it is probably just a temptation to buy. After the ups and downs of gold last night, it rebounded again to the 3360 line or continued to fall under pressure. So gold continued to rebound under pressure and continued to sell at high prices below 3360.
Operation ideas:
Buy short-term gold at 3325-3328, stop loss at 3317, target at 3350-3370;
Sell short-term gold at 3357-3360, stop loss at 3368, target at 3340-3320;
Key points:
First support level: 3330, second support level: 3319, third support level: 3303
First resistance level: 3358, second resistance level: 3370, third resistance level: 3386
Gold fluctuates downward. Can it break through?The CPI data released is in line with expectations, the tariff storm is still continuing, inflation rebounds and the Fed's expectations of interest rate cuts have cooled. Gold rebounded to 3366 and then fell, and is currently fluctuating around 3330.
From the current trend, gold fell strongly and broke through the Bollinger middle rail and the moving average support. The daily line focuses on the Bollinger middle rail under pressure near 3340, and the short-term support is at 3310. At present, a staged top pattern has been formed and the K-line double top is around 3366. The Bollinger moves downward and the price is in a downward channel.
For short-term operations, Quaid believes that the strategy of rebound shorting can still be followed.
Short near 3345, stop loss 3355, profit range 3330-3310
Long near 3310, stop loss 3300, profit range 3330-3345
Gold breaks trendline towards 3390, Uptrend resumes✏️ OANDA:XAUUSD The price increase will continue today and will be even stronger. After breaking the trendline, gold has strong support. SELL strategies are only considered to find short-term reaction points waiting for the next trends.

Gold rises strongly, aiming for a new high!Last Friday, gold continued to rise strongly, breaking through 3320 in the Asia-Europe session and accelerating its rise. The European session broke through the 3340 mark continuously. The US session broke through 3369 and then fell back. The daily line closed with a big positive line. It broke through the high for three consecutive days and returned to above 3360. The unilateral bullish pattern was re-established. Today, the gold price jumped high and broke through 3370 and then fluctuated at a high level. Although it rushed up, the strength was limited. It must be adjusted after a short-term retracement before it can continue to rise. Therefore, in terms of operation, we continue to maintain the main idea of retreating and multiplying. Pay attention to the 3340-3345 area for short-term support during the day, and look at the 3330 line for strong support. If it does not break, it will continue to be a good opportunity to buy low and do more. Taking advantage of the trend is still the current main tone. As long as the daily level does not break 3330, the bullish structure will not be destroyed.
🔹Support focus: 3340-3345, key support level 3330
🔹Resistance focus: 3380-3393 area
1️⃣ If the price falls back to 3340-3350, a light long position will be intervened, with the target of 3365-3370. A strong breakthrough can see a new high;
2️⃣ If the price rises to 3380-3393 and is under pressure, a short-term short position adjustment can be tried, with a short-term target of around 3360.
The specific real-time points and position arrangements will be updated at the bottom. Interested friends are advised to pay attention to my strategy tips in a timely manner and seize every opportunity reasonably.

XAUUSD trade idea🟣 Current Market Behavior
Price has reached a resistance zone around 3355–3360, previously respected as a supply area.
A rejection candle or price weakness at this level is triggering a short-term bearish outlook.
🔻 Short-Term Bearish Plan
Sell entry zone: 3355–3360
> Target for this sell (TP): 3320
➤ This suggests a possible drop of around 250–300 pips from the current high.
> Reason: The price is expected to make a technical correction after hitting a resistance level.
🔼 Mid-Term Bullish Plan
: After reaching the 3320 support area, the chart expects a bullish reversal or continuation of the uptrend.
> Buy setup target: 3395–3400
➤ This level represents the next potential bullish wave after the correction.
> Reason: The overall pattern remains bullish. The idea assumes this drop is temporary and part of a healthy pullback before the uptrend resumes.
📝 Summary:
Phase 1: Sell from 3355–3360 to 3320 (correction phase)
Phase 2: Buy from 3320 toward 3395–3400 (bullish continuation)
Strategy combines resistance rejection + correction + trend continuation principles.
oro Suggested Description for a Long Trade Idea on Gold (GOLD):
Potential Technical Rebound After Sharp Drop – Waiting for Confirmation
Gold (5-minute chart) has broken below the key $3,348 support and is now showing extreme oversold conditions on the Stochastic Oscillator. Although bearish momentum dominates, I’m watching this zone for a possible bounce if price reclaims the $3,348 level with a clear bullish candle.
Conditional Long Setup:
Entry: ~$3,348–$3,350 (after confirmation)
Stop Loss: $3,341 (below the recent low)
Take Profit 1: $3,355
Take Profit 2: $3,362
If the bounce fails and price continues lower, I may consider a short setup toward $3,335. Waiting for clear signals before entering any position.

GOLD POSSIBLE SELLPossible Scenarios:
🔻 Bearish Bias (Primary Scenario)
Price is currently reacting from the 30-min supply zone.

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.

Oolong news stirs up goldDuring the US trading session, the market suddenly had an "oolong" incident. The news that Trump fired Powell caused gold to surge to 3367, but Trump soon denied the plan, the risk aversion sentiment dissipated, and gold fell sharply.
At present, gold has returned to volatility. Given that the risk aversion sentiment failed this time, we need to be vigilant about the subsequent surge and fall.
Given the volatile news, it is better to hold the currency and wait and see, and then look for a good opportunity to operate after the news becomes clear. At present, the upper resistance is 3365-3370, and the lower support is 3326-3317. It is recommended to do more in the future market.
Gold market price trend analysis and operation strategyGold trend analysis:
Gold reached a high of 3366 yesterday, a low of 3320, and closed at around 3325. From the daily chart, the performance of the daily cycle is high and closed negative, and it may not be able to go out of the big rise in the short term. Gold will fall into range fluctuations. The rise of gold in this cycle has not actually been completed. At least it needs to go to the high point of 3400, and then look at the adjustment space within the week, but don’t look too much at the strength of the rise. The general trend is bullish, and we must also beware of the adjustment space that may fall back at any time. Gold tried 3375 several times yesterday and failed to break through, and then fell back for adjustment, indicating that the pressure on 3375 is obvious, that is, gold needs to fall back and correct in the short term. At this time, we are cautious about chasing more and continue to buy more after falling back.
From the 4-hour chart, gold rose and fell yesterday, and the bearish trend did not continue. Gold entered a period of adjustment. From the current K-line, the downward momentum of gold is slowing down, and it tends to rebound in the short term. In the 4-hour chart, the lower track support of the Bollinger Band is near 3320, and the position of the middle track of the Bollinger Band is near 3345, which will form a short-term resistance. From the 1-hour chart, after yesterday's drop to 3320, it was strongly supported again and pulled up to above 3330. The support below is still strong. If the European session rises and breaks through 3350 today, the US session may go to the resistance of 3365-3375. Before breaking through 3350, the current market can only be regarded as a bottom adjustment and correction. Today, we will first focus on the rebound strength. If the upward momentum weakens, pay attention to the support of 3310-3300 below, and wait for the decline to be mainly low-multiple. In the short term, we will first focus on the breakthrough of the shock range. The intraday idea is to fall back to low-multiple.

Let’s see how this unfolds 🔥
HelenP I. Gold will little correct and then rise to top of wedgeHi folks today I'm prepared for you Gold analytics. If we look at the chart, we can see a clear ascending wedge pattern that has been guiding the price action. The structure is well-defined by a lower trend line providing consistent support and an upper resistance line. I believe that the key area to watch right now is the support zone between 3310 and 3295 points. The logic is that after the recent push, the price may undergo a small, healthy correction to test this zone's strength. The condition for our bullish scenario to unfold is a successful hold of this support; a bounce or signs of buyer interest in this area would be the confirmation we are looking for. Once this condition is met, I believe that gold will have enough momentum to continue its upward movement within the confines of the wedge. Therefore, the main goal for this scenario is set at 3415 points. This target is not arbitrary; it directly coincides with the resistance line of the wedge, which represents a logical point for the current upward swing to conclude.

XAUUSD 15m Bearish Pullback Setup | Supply Zone Rejection Trade XAUUSD 15-Minute Analysis & Trade Idea
Market is respecting a bearish structure with lower highs and lower lows. Price is currently pulling back toward a supply zone around 3,354.09–3,359.03 after breaking below the True Day Open.
Reasoning:
Bearish market structure
Confluence with True Day Open, session highs/lows, and downward trendlines
Risk-to-reward of approximately 1:2+
Reminder: This is not financial advice. Do your own analysis and risk management.
Gold is currently at a critical decision point.Key Technical Insights (Gold)
1) Fibonacci Confluence Zone:
Now gold price action is currently compressed between two overlapping 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels:
- Swing Low Retracement (61.8%) from the prior downtrend leg
- Swing High Retracement (61.8%) from the recent bullish move
This dual Fibonacci alignment reflects a high tension equilibrium between bullish and bearish forces, a typical precursor to breakout volatility.
2) Chart Pattern – Symmetrical Triangle:
Price is also developing a symmetrical triangle pattern, signaling a period of consolidation and potential energy buildup.
This structure usually leads to a breakout in the direction of the prevailing longer-term trend, which in this case remains bullish.
3) Momentum & Volatility:
RSI is holding in the mid-50s range — confirming market indecision.
Volume is contracting, consistent with the compression phase before expansion.
4) Mid-Term Outlook: Bullish Bias with Caution
Based on current technical conditions and macroeconomic context, the mid-term outlook for gold remains bullish, but requires patience and confirmation.
5) Strategic Levels to Watch:
- Breakout zone: $3,375 – $3,385
- Upside targets (if breakout holds): $3,435 → $3,495 → $3,520
- Bearish invalidation: Break below $3,240 would negate this bullish setup.
Gold is currently at a critical decision point compressed between technical resistance and structural support, forming a triangle at Fibonacci confluence. While the breakout direction is yet to be confirmed, probability favors a bullish resolution in alignment with the macro uptrend.
Traders and investors should remain patient, wait for confirmation, and manage risk accordingly.
Gold (XAU/USD) – 4H Time Frame Trade Idea📈MJTrading:
Gold is currently testing support at the main ascending trend line on the 4-hour chart. Price action suggests a potential bounce, but the setup remains probabilistic—ideal for traders who operate on higher time frames and manage risk with discipline.
🔹 Trade Setup
Entry: 3340
Stop Loss: 3309
Take Profit 1: 3368
Take Profit 2: 3400
🔍 Technical Context
Price is respecting the long-standing trend line, hinting at bullish continuation.
Risk-reward ratio is favorable, especially for swing traders.
A break below the trend line invalidates the setup—hence the tight SL.
⚠️ Note: While the trend supports upside potential, failure to hold the trend line could trigger deeper retracement. Trade the probabilities, not the certainties.
