THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
I can't say that was a bad day or week. We got the move from 3310 into our Excalibur target level 3332 and then started looking for a potential reversal. Gold, again, had other plans and just continued to activate Excalibur after Excalibur higher combined with the red box break and close, so all we could do as mentioned in the earlier post, is call it a week early.
For now, we have support at the 3350-45 level with resistance here at 3370. I don't think they will want to leave a wick on that 4H, so let's expect a potential retest of resistance.
The week in Camelot:
RED BOX TARGETS:
Break above 3350 for 3355✅, 3360✅, 3362✅, 3365✅, 3374, 3388 and 3396 in extension of the move
Break below 3335 for 3331✅, 3324✅, 3321✅, 3310✅, 3306✅ and 3293✅ in extension of the move
Wising you all a great weekend,
As always, trade safe.

Gold Looks Bullish: technical and fundamentalHi Guys!
Gold is starting to flash major bullish signals, and this time, it’s not just about the chart. The technical setup is clean, but we’re also seeing fundamental tailwinds that could fuel a bigger move.
Let’s break it down
1. Technical Setup: The QML Reversal Is In Play
On the 1H chart, Gold is showing a textbook Quasimodo (QML) reversal pattern. Price made a lower low, then reversed up to break structure, and now it’s pulling back and respecting the key QML zone around $3,296.
This zone has turned into strong support. As long as we stay above it, the structure suggests a continuation toward $3,367 — a clean upside liquidity target and the previous high.
Strategy: Look for pullbacks into $3,296 for potential long entries with targets around $3,367 or higher.
2. Fundamental Tailwinds: Why Gold Is Gaining Strength
The fundamentals are stacking up in Gold’s favor right now. Here’s what’s fueling the move:
- Weakening USD & Rate Cut Expectations
With the Fed increasingly signaling rate cuts by late 2025, the US dollar is losing steam. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like Gold, making it more attractive to investors. Traders are already pricing this in.
- Softening Economic Data
Recent U.S. data, including weaker-than-expected job growth and declining manufacturing numbers, points to a slowing economy. That puts more pressure on the Fed to pivot dovish, which historically sends Gold higher.
- Central Bank Demand
Global central banks (especially in Asia) continue to accumulate physical Gold as part of their long-term reserve strategy. That institutional demand provides strong support at lower levels.
Technical + Fundamental = Strong Bullish Bias
We’re seeing a solid confluence here:
Chart says long (QML + bullish structure)
Macro says long (dovish Fed + weaker dollar + safe haven demand)
Drop your thought here!
XAU/USD analysis & outlookWeekly Outlook: GOLD (XAUUSD)
This week, I’ll be monitoring different scenarios, as price is currently far from any of my key Points of Interest (POIs).
My nearest potential buy is around the 3-hour demand zone. While it's not the most ideal entry—since it isn’t located in a discounted area—I’ll still keep an eye on it.
That said, I would prefer to see a deeper retracement into the 6-hour demand zone, which is in a far more discounted region. This zone offers a stronger setup, and I could see price launching from there again if tapped.
We’ve already seen a strong bullish reaction from last week’s demand zone, and based on current momentum, I could see price continuing upward until it reaches my next sell opportunity—the 3-hour supply zone, which sits at a premium level.
Confluences for GOLD Buys:
✅ Bullish structure — price has broken to the upside and remains overall bullish.
✅ Fresh 3H and 6H demand zones formed, which price could return to.
✅ Liquidity above — including trendline liquidity and previous Asia highs.
✅ Fundamentals — potential tariff cuts could fuel long-term bullish momentum for gold.
✅ Bearish Dollar Index (DXY) aligns with the bullish gold outlook.
📌 If price doesn’t retrace and instead continues to push higher, I’ll wait for another break of structure to the upside on the way toward the supply zone before reassessing entries.
Let’s stay focused and let the market come to us. Wishing everyone a great trading week ahead! 👊📈
XAUUSD Daily Sniper Plan – July 14, 2025Hey team 👋 and welcome to a fresh new week on the charts!
We’re starting this Monday without any major news — just pure price action, clean zones, and structure doing all the talking. No distractions. No excuses. Let’s lock in our focus and let the market show us where the edge is.
🔸 Bias: Bearish while below 3390
Last week’s rejection from the H1 premium zone (around 3375) created clear signs of exhaustion. Price is now forming lower highs and lower lows, with clean CHoCHs on both H1 and M15. Until we reclaim 3390, we remain bearish — waiting for the next lower high to form.
🔽 Sniper Sell Zones (above current price)
3360–3370 → H1 premium FVG + CHoCH OB + EMA5 cap
3380–3390 → Inducement zone + internal imbalance + RSI divergence
🔼 Sniper Buy Zones (below current price)
3310–3320 → Discount FVG + BOS base + HL support
3280–3290 → Final HL structure zone + fib 61.8% + OB + RSI oversold
🟡 Decision Zone:
3330–3340 → Neutral zone
→ Wait for break and retest or rejection confirmation.
→ No setup = no trade.
🧠 Battle Plan – Execution Scenarios:
🔴 Scenario A – Bearish Setup Active:
If price returns to 3360–3370 or 3380–3390 and shows M15/M30 rejection → enter short.
Target: 3330 → 3310.
If 3390 is broken and held → cancel short bias.
🟢 Scenario B – Bullish Setup Activated:
If price sweeps 3320 or 3290 and reacts with strong bullish PA (engulfing or CHoCH) → enter long.
Target: 3340 → 3360.
No confirmation = stay flat, do not anticipate.
🟡 Scenario C – No Reaction / Choppy Flow:
If price consolidates between 3330–3340 without clean rejection or break → wait.
Let price show its hand. Today is Monday — we need clarity, not emotion.
Every level in this plan was drawn with purpose — no shortcuts, no borrowed zones.
If you value structure, discipline, and originality in your trading, you’re in the right place.
Your support means everything — I see every 🚀 and every comment, and I appreciate this community deeply.
Let’s keep growing, with real work and real structure.
Follow GoldFxMinds — we stay sharp, we stay true. 💛

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Jul 14 - Jul 18]This week, OANDA:XAUUSD opened at $3,342/oz, dropped to $3,282/oz, but then rebounded sharply to close at $3,355/oz. The recovery was mainly driven by former President Trump's announcement of new tariffs ranging from 20% to 50% on imports from 22 countries, effective August 1st. Particularly, a 35% tariff on Canadian goods — a key U.S. trading partner — raised concerns about global trade stability and supply chains.
Trump also proposed 15–20% tariffs on most other trading partners, reigniting fears of global trade disruptions. At the same time, ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continued to weigh on sentiment, despite U.S. diplomatic efforts showing little progress.
However, analysts note that gold still lacks strong momentum for a breakout. Trump's tariff threats may be more about negotiation leverage than triggering a full-blown trade war. Meanwhile, with the labor market recovering and inflation rising, the Fed is expected to maintain its neutral monetary policy, limiting short-term gold price movements.
Although geopolitical tensions remain (e.g., Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas), the ceasefire between Israel and Iran has reduced gold’s geopolitical risk premium.
Looking ahead, key U.S. economic data next week — including CPI, PPI, and retail sales — will be closely watched. A strong June core CPI (0.4% or higher) could reduce the likelihood of a Fed rate cut in September, strengthening the USD and pushing gold lower. Conversely, weaker inflation data could boost expectations of a rate cut, supporting gold prices.
📌In terms of technical analysis, gold prices next week may continue to adjust and accumulate. Accordingly, if they surpass the 3,370 USD/oz mark, gold prices next week will challenge the 3,400-3,450 USD/oz range. On the contrary, gold prices next week will adjust down to 3,285 USD/oz, or even 3,245 USD/oz.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
Support: 3,350 – 3,310 – 3,300USD
Resistance: 3,371 – 3,400 – 3,430USD

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Absolutely beautiful to see our 1h chart idea playing out perfectly. After completing the bearish targets earlier this week, we had the ema5 cross and lock below 3306 opening the swing range.
- This played out perfectly hitting the first swing range level and doing exactly what it say son the tin giving the full swing into 3306 just like we highlighted.
We will now look for ema5 lock above 3306 for a continuation into the bullish targets above or failure to lock will see rejections into the lower Goldturns for suport and bounce.
If it continues to fail breakout above, into the first Bullish target, then we are likely to see the full swing range tested on the rejections.
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.

short recovery, trend line✍️ NOVA hello everyone, Let's comment on gold price next week from 07/14/2025 - 07/18/2025
⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold prices surged nearly 1% on Friday as market sentiment soured in response to US President Donald Trump’s controversial trade policies targeting Canada, while hinting at broader tariffs on other nations and copper. At the time of writing, XAU/USD is trading at $3,354, rebounding from intraday lows of $3,322.
On Thursday, Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, though goods complying with the 2020 USMCA trade agreement remain exempt. He also signaled intentions to expand tariffs across most trading partners, proposing blanket rates ranging from 15% to 20%.
With a light US economic calendar, attention turned to Fed commentary. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee pushed back on calls for rate cuts aimed at reducing government borrowing costs, stressing the central bank’s focus remains firmly on employment and price stability.

Learn the 3 TYPES of MARKET ANALYSIS in Gold Forex Trading
In the today's post, we will discuss 3 types of analysis of a financial market.
🛠1 - Technical Analysis
Technical analysis focuses on p rice action, key levels, technical indicators and technical tools for the assessment of a market sentiment.
Pure technician thoroughly believes that the price chart reflects all the news, all the actions of big and small players. With a proper application of technical strategies, technical analysts make predictions and identify trading opportunities.
In the example above, the trader applies price action patterns, candlestick analysis, key levels and 2 technical indicators to make a prediction that the market will drop to a key horizontal support from a solid horizontal resistance.
📰2 - Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysts assess the key factors and related data that drive the value of an asset.
These factors are diverse: it can be geopolitical events, macro and micro economic news, financial statements, etc.
Fundamental traders usually make trading decision and forecasts, relying on fundamental data alone and completely neglecting a chart analysis.
Price action on Gold on a daily time frame could be easily predicted, applying a fundamental analysis.
A bearish trend was driven by FED Interest Rates tightening program,
while a strong bullish rally initiated after escalation of Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
📊🔬 3 - Combination of Technical and Fundamental Analysis
Such traders combine the principles of both Technical and Fundamental approaches.
When they are looking for trading opportunities, they analyze the price chart and make predictions accordingly.
Then, they analyze the current related fundamentals and compare the technical and fundamental biases.
If the outlooks match , one opens a trading position.
In the example above, Gold reached a solid horizontal daily support.
Testing the underlined structure, the price formed a falling wedge pattern and a double bottom, breaking both a horizontal neckline and a resistance of the wedge.
These were 2 significant bullish technical confirmation.
At the same time, the escalation of Israeli-Palestinian conflict left a very bullish fundamental confirmation.
It is an endless debate which method is better.
Each has its own pros and cons.
I strongly believe that one can make money mastering any of those.
Just choose the method that you prefer, study it, practice and one day you will make it.

GOLD Outlook – Bearish Confirmed Post-CPIWith the CPI data released at 2.7%, gold’s bearish momentum is confirmed below the Pivot Line of 3,357.953 USD.
The market reaction suggests no immediate Fed rate cuts, supporting downward pressure. Expect a move toward Support at 3,307.665 USD and the Support Zone around 3,264.120 USD. A close above 3,357.953 USD on a 1H or 4H candle could indicate a bullish reversal toward Resistance at 3,390.028 USD.
Trade Setup:
Short Entry: Near 3,357.953 USD with bearish confirmation, Stop Loss above 3,390.028 USD.
Take Profit: Initial target at 3,307.665 USD, with a second target at 3,264.120 USD.
Long Entry: Only if price breaks and holds above 3,357.953 USD, with a Stop Loss below 3,250 USD, targeting 3,390.028 USD.
Pivot Line: 3,357.953 USD
Support: 3,307.685 USD – 3,264.120 USD (Support Zone)
Resistance: 3,390.028 USD – ~3,400 USD (Key Resistance)
1h, 2h Supply Zone: Between 3,357.953 USD and 3,390.028 USD
Gold Eyes 3,386 with No Reversal in SignsGold Eyes 3,386 with No Reversal in Signs
Gold continues its upward trajectory, with potential extension toward the $3,386 level.
In my view, the primary catalyst behind this rally is market manipulation.
Additionally, recent comments from former President Trump regarding tariffs, and remarks from Chair Powell on interest rate policy, have further fueled bullish sentiment.
You may watch the analysis for further details!
Thank you!
Gold Expecting bullish Movement Price is currently showing strong momentum with visible rejections and key zone reactions. According to my analysis
First Resistance Zone: 3382.70
Second Resistance Zone: 3360.50
Support Zone: Around 3330.50
Yellow Arrow: Indicates possible early rejection and a move toward the support zone
Blue Arrow: Suggests price may bounce back from the 3330.50 support and retest upper zones
As long as price remains below the 3360.50 resistance zone, my bias remains bearish However, if price breaks above this level with strong volume, we may see bullish continuation
THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
An interesting day on gold and to be honest, the plan worked but the whipsawing only allowed us to scalp. Although we had a few decent scalps, we wanted it to go higher, then form a swing at 3320, which it broke above. This region now is one big accumulation, this is not as simple as enter and set TP, unless you're scalping. At the moment, we're above 3310 which is the level that needs to break to go down with a high of 3330 which is the level that needs to hold for us to go lower.
Our set up here is bearish, what we want is to try and capture the stop hunt from above rather than entering and having to watch this chop up and down, then go into drawdown. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, we'll come back next week.
On the chart are the two levels to look for a RIP! With it ranging like this we'll stick with these level and use the red boxes looking for the break!
As always, trade safe.
