XAU/USD Approaches Resistance – Watch 3374 CloselyGOLD Overview
Gold is currently approaching the 3374 resistance level. A 1H candle close above 3374 could trigger further upside toward the next resistance zones at 3401 and 3402.
However, if the price fails to hold above 3365 and starts to decline, this would indicate a potential bearish reversal toward the support levels at 3350 and 3333.
The next short-term move will depend on how price reacts around the 3374 zone — watch for either a confirmed breakout or rejection.
🔹 Key Technical Levels:
Pivot Line: 3365
Resistance: 3374 • 3388 • 3402
Support: 3350 • 3333
Scenarios:
🔺 Bullish: 1H close above 3374 → Targets: 3388 / 3402
🔻 Bearish: Failure to hold above 3365 → Downside toward 3350 / 3333
XAUUSD - Will Gold Continue to Rise?!Gold is trading above the EMA200 and EMA50 on the 4-hour timeframe and is trading in its medium-term ascending channel. A correction towards the demand zone would provide us with a better risk-reward buying position, and if it rises, we could consider selling it in the supply zone.
After a relatively quiet summer, the release of disappointing U.S. employment data brought a sharp shift in the gold market’s momentum, sparking a wave of optimism among Wall Street analysts. Gold ended the trading week near the short-term resistance level of $3,350—an area that, according to Kitco’s weekly survey, reflects a surge in bullish sentiment among market analysts.
This market turnaround happened rapidly. At the start of the week, gold came under selling pressure as economic data revealed that U.S. GDP grew by 3% in the second quarter. However, many economists questioned the reliability of this growth, noting its heavy dependence on volatile trade balance figures, which makes it a poor indicator of sustainable economic strength.
Midweek, another headwind emerged for gold. The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged, and in a press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that no decision had been made yet regarding the September meeting. His cautious tone was captured in the statement: “We haven’t made any decisions about September.”
However, these remarks quickly lost weight. Just two days later, U.S. employment data significantly missed expectations, dramatically reshaping the outlook for monetary policy.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. economy added only 73,000 jobs in July—a number far below forecasts. Moreover, previous job gains for May and June were sharply revised downward, with a total of 258,000 jobs removed from earlier estimates. The updated figures showed only 14,000 jobs added in June and 19,000 in May. This disappointing data alone was enough to reignite expectations of a rate cut at the September meeting—an outcome that immediately boosted gold demand.
David Morrison, adopting a cautious stance, emphasized that although the jobs data favored gold, the market remains stuck in a narrow trading range, with limited evidence of a sustained short-term rally.
He explained, “Despite the significant gains last week, gold is still consolidating within a defined range. To break above $3,400 again—and more importantly, to hold it during any retracements—we’ll likely need a period of corrective volatility and price consolidation.”
Morrison also pointed out that the recent gold price rally was driven more by a sharp decline in the U.S. dollar than by internal factors within the gold market. “This sudden spike was largely a result of the unexpected downturn in the dollar following the release of the weak non-farm payroll report (NFP),” he said.
He further warned against over-interpreting a single data point: “Yes, the report has increased the odds of a rate cut in September, but we’re dealing with highly volatile data. It’s just one number—alongside a negative revision—and it can’t alone dictate the course of monetary policy.”
Meanwhile, investment bank Citi has raised its three-month gold price forecast from $3,300 to $3,500 per ounce. The expected trading range has also shifted—from $3,100–$3,500 to $3,300–$3,600.
According to Citi, this upward revision is driven by weak U.S. economic growth, heightened concerns about inflation linked to tariffs, and a weakening U.S. dollar. The bank also cited poor labor market data in Q2 and growing doubts about the credibility of the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, investment demand for gold remains strong, with steady central bank purchases helping to sustain the metal’s favorable market position.
Will growing fears of a labor market reignite demand for gold?
Gold staged a rebound as markets reacted to weaker US labor data and escalating trade tensions. Despite a solid Q2 GDP reading of 3.0% QoQ (prev. -0.5%, cons. 2.3%), the disappointing July NFP figure of 73k (prev. 140k, cons. 110k) raised fresh concerns about labor market softness. Meanwhile, recession risks were further fueled by President Trump’s approval of sweeping new tariffs—reaching up to 41%—targeting key non-aligned trade partners, intensifying fears of tariff-induced economic drag.
XAUUSD briefly broke below the 3300 support but rebounded, climbing back above both EMAs. The price is consolidating within the 3300–3440 range, indicating a sideways trend. If XAUUSD breaks below both EMAs and the 3300 support, the price could retreat further toward 3245. Conversely, if XAUUSD holds above both EMAs, the price may gain upside traction toward the 3500 high.
XAUUSD 4Hour TF - August 3rd,2025🟦 XAUUSD 4H Analysis Long Idea
📅 August 3rd, 2025
🔹 Top-Down Trend Bias:
• Monthly – Bullish
• Weekly – Bullish
• Daily – Bullish
• 4H – Bullish
Price has broken out of a consolidation, confirming short term bullish momentum in alignment with the higher timeframes. We’re now watching how price reacts on a potential retest of the key $3,320 structure.
🔍 Key Level: $3,320
This former resistance now acts as a critical support zone. How price reacts here will determine short-term direction.
✅ Scenario A: Bullish Continuation
Clean retest of $3,320–$3,335
1.Look for bullish confirmation: wick rejections, bullish engulfing, or lower timeframe structure shift
Target 1: $3,395
Target 2: $3,450
This setup aligns with the overall bullish bias. We have ideal R:R with a clear invalidation to exit on if $3,320 fails as support.
⚠️ Scenario B: Bearish Rejection
1.Failure to hold $3,320 = potential trap breakout
2.Look for structure below $3,320 + bearish conviction
Target: $3,225 support zone
Only valid if $3,320 flips to resistance and confirms structure shift.
🧠 Final Notes
• Let price confirm the setup
• Structure > emotion
• Both scenarios are valid, but only with confirmation
What to trade if you can't trust jobs data? U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), reportedly in response to jobs figures he disagreed with.
This raises concerns about the integrity of government-reported economic data, especially ahead of the next key Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) release on September 5.
This upcoming report also includes the BLS’s annual revision, adjusting past job growth figures from April 2024 through March 2025. Goldman Sachs “estimate a downward revision on the order of 550,000 to 950,000 jobs—or a reduction of 45,000 to 80,000 jobs per month over the April 2024 to March 2025 period.”
Given macro uncertainty and signs of distrust in U.S. economic data, the bid for gold may persist.
Gold has rebounded sharply in recent sessions, breaking a short-term downtrend and climbing back above the 3,360 level. Price has now retraced more than 50.0% of the July 24–31 selloff. The pair may be Short-term bullish, if price holds above 3,310.
Smart Money / Price Action 5min scalping road map# 📈 ABC Pattern Explained for TradingView (Smart Money / Price Action)
The **ABC pattern** is a 3-leg corrective move in market structure, commonly used in price action, Elliott Wave, and Smart Money trading. It's mainly used to identify **pullbacks** or **correction zones** before a continuation of the main trend.
---
## 🔹 Structure of the ABC Pattern:
- **Point A**: The beginning of the move — often the end of a strong impulsive wave.
- **Point B**: The first retracement or pullback from Point A.
- **Point C**: The second corrective move that often goes beyond A, forming the completion of the correction phase.
The ABC legs can be:
- **A to B**: Impulsive or corrective.
- **B to C**: Generally a counter-trend retracement.
---
## 🔸 How to Identify on Chart:
1. **Find a strong trend** (uptrend or downtrend).
2. **Look for the first correction** — mark it as Point A to B.
3. **Next wave** that attempts to continue the trend but fails — mark the end as Point C.
4. **Use Fibonacci tools** to measure:
- **B retracement of A** (typically 50%–78.6%)
- **C extension** of AB (typically 127.2%–161.8%)
---
## 🔧 How to Draw on TradingView:
> You can use the `Trend-Based Fib Extension` tool or draw manually using the `Path` or `ABC pattern` tool.

- ABC is often part of **larger structures** like **complex pullbacks** or **smart money retracements**.
---
## ✅ Example Use:
- **Buy Scenario**:

XAUUSD Technical AnalysisTechnical Analysis – Symmetrical Triangle with Retest
Current Market Situation
The chart shows a symmetrical triangle pattern, which is a continuation pattern often followed by strong directional movement.
The price has broken below the triangle, signaling a potential bearish move.
Currently, the price is in the retest phase of the broken triangle, which is an important area to confirm the bearish trend before continuing downward.
Key Zones
Retest Zone (Pullback): Located between current price and 3,374, which is a strong resistance area.
Targets (TP):
TP1: 3,322.97
TP2: 3,285.87
TP3: 3,262.59
Possible Scenarios
✅ Bearish Scenario (Preferred):
If the price holds below the retest zone, we expect a continuation to the downside towards:
Target 1: 3,322.97
Target 2: 3,285.87
Target 3: 3,262.59
⚠ Bullish Scenario (Alternative):
A daily close above 3,374 will invalidate the bearish scenario and may trigger a reversal.
Conclusion
The market shows a strong technical indication of a bearish continuation after confirming the retest.
Any daily close above 3,374 would cancel the bearish scenario.
It is recommended to monitor price action closely in the retest zone for confirmation before entering trades.

XAUUSD - Daily | More Consolidation??Gold is back in the upper range of this consolidation zone. You can see the high of the range is 3430, and the low is 3240 roughly.
Bulls:
Gold is pulling back into an Inverted FVG. If the price is bullish, then we should clear the gap with ease. Gold has just eliminated 4 days' worth of choppy bearish price action. Look for gold to give clear signs to enter a buy.
**A new daily candle should appear, creating a new FVG showing buyers are winning
Bears:
So with that said... If Gold fails to remain bullish after Friday's (Aug 1st) 700-pip jump, then the iFVG may have the price react bearishly. Watch for gold to give a clear sign of rejection before entering a sell
**Price may drop to cover Friday's gap. Doesn't mean it's bearish

Gold Slips After Powell Speech Below 3320 Bearish Pressure BuildGOLD Overview
Market Context:
Gold declined from the 3333 level, as anticipated in yesterday’s analysis, ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech. Powell reiterated that it is still too early for rate cuts, citing persistently high inflation, which supported the U.S. dollar and pressured gold.
Technical Outlook:
As long as gold trades below the 3320–3310 zone, the bearish momentum is expected to continue, with the next target at 3285. A confirmed break and stability below 3285 could open the way toward 3255.
To regain bullish traction, the price must stabilize above 3320.
Support Levels: 3285 • 3255
Resistance Levels: 3333 • 3349
Potential bearish drop?The Gold (XAU/USD) has reacted off the pivot and could drop to the 1st support.

GOLD Slips as Dollar Gains on Trade Deal – Bearish Below 3349
Gold Pares Gains as USD Strengthens on Trade Deal Ahead of Fed
Gold gave up early gains, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar after the announcement of the US–EU trade agreement.
Meanwhile, attention shifts to upcoming U.S.–China negotiations later today, as both sides aim to extend the current trade truce and avoid new tariffs.
Investors are also closely watching the Federal Reserve’s policy decision on Wednesday, seeking signals on future interest rate moves.
TECHNICAL OUTLOOK:
Gold maintains a bearish trend while trading below 3349, with potential downside toward 3320.
A 1H candle close below 3320 – 3312 would confirm extended bearish pressure targeting 3285, driven in part by ongoing geopolitical risks.
⚠️ To shift back to a bullish structure, the price must stabilize above 3349.
Key Levels:
• Support: 3320 – 3285 – 3256
• Resistance: 3365 – 3375
