XAUUSD Intraday Plan | Key Levels in FocusGold remains in a strong bullish move, with price continuing to trade above key moving averages. After the impulsive push higher, price is now consolidating near recent highs, trading around 4585. The immediate support area is the first zone to watch. A hold here could allow price to rebuild momentum and attempt another push toward the upper resistance areas. If price fails to stay supported and slips lower, attention shifts to the first reaction zone, where the MA200 may provide dynamic support and attract buyers. If selling pressure builds further, focus shifts to the support zone, where buyers are likely to step in. Only a sustained move below this zone would increase the risk of a deeper retracement toward the HTF support zone. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4585 4630 4664 Support: 4537 4492 4469 4441 4393 🔎Fundamental focus: Markets are focused on US inflation data today, with Core CPI in the spotlight. These releases are key drivers for USD strength and gold volatility, as they shape expectations around inflation trends and future Fed policy. Alongside macro data, ongoing geopolitical tensions remain a background risk, which may continue to support gold and keep volatility elevated.

XAUUSD Intraday Plan | Key Levels to WatchGold dipped into the HTF support zone, where buyers stepped in, leading to a recovery from the recent sell-off. Price is now making a second attempt at the 4404 resistance, which remains the key level for short-term direction. A confirmed break above 4404 would signal strengthening bullish momentum and open the path toward 4433. Conversely, failure to hold above this area may result in a retracement back into lower support zones. Immediate support sits at 4378, followed by 4347. Price reaction at these levels will be important in determining whether the recovery can extend or if selling pressure resumes. Let price confirm direction at key levels. Patience and risk management remain essential. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4404 4433 Support: 4378(minor level) 4347 4317 4280

XAUUSD Intraday Plan | Recovery Attempt | 4404 in FocusGold played out as per yesterday’s analysis. The first reaction zone failed to hold, triggering a quick sell-off into lower liquidity. Price found support at the HTF support zone and is attempting a recovery, currently trading around 4368. If buyers can maintain pressure from here, the next key test is 4404 resistance. A confirmed break and hold above 4404 would shift intraday bias back to the upside and open the door for a move into the upper levels. If momentum slows or buyers struggle to follow through, watch 4347 as the immediate support. A clean break below 4347 would likely invite another attempt into the HTF support zone—and if that base fails, the risk increases for a deeper sell-off. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4404 4433 4467 Support: 4347 4317 4281 🔎Fundamental Focus: Markets are watching the FOMC Meeting Minutes later today, year-end holiday liquidity remains thin, increasing the risk of sharp but unsustained moves.

XAU/USD Pullback from ATHs | Reaction Zones in FocusGold is finally showing a healthy pullback from all-time highs. Price is currently trading around 4450, reacting inside the first reaction zone, where early buyers are attempting to step in. This area is important for short-term direction. Failure to hold above this zone would expose price to a deeper retracement toward the lower support zone, where stronger demand may re-enter. On the flip side, if buyers successfully defend this region and price manages to reclaim 4467, bullish momentum could rebuild, opening the door for another attempt higher. 📌Key levels to watch Resistance: 4467 4505 4530 Support: 4433 4404 4347 🔎Fundamental focus: Markets will be watching the FOMC Meeting Minutes for any confirmation on the Fed’s rate path and broader economic resilience. Unemployment Claims later in the week may also influence short-term dollar sentiment. That said, end-of-year holiday conditions are likely to keep liquidity thinner than usual, increasing the risk of exaggerated moves, false breaks, and sharper reactions around key levels.

XAUUSD Intraday Plan | Gold Hits All-Time Highs, 4422 in FocusGold has pushed to a fresh all-time high during the Asian session and is currently trading around 4413. Immediate resistance sits at 4422 — a confirmed break and hold above this level could open the door for a continuation toward 4460. If this upside move fails and price fades back, then focus shifts to the lower support levels and reaction zone for potential bounce. We may see trading volume die down into the end-of-year holidays, which can lead to thin liquidity and exaggerated moves (sharp spikes, whipsaws, and false breakouts). 📌Key level to watch: Resistance: 4422 4460 Support: 4391 4358 4322 4298 🔎Fundamental Focus: With year-end holidays approaching, liquidity can thin out and volume often drops — which increases the risk of exaggerated moves, stop-runs, and false breakouts around key levels. This week still has a few USD catalysts worth respecting: a heavy Tuesday slate including GDP + Durable Goods, plus Consumer Confidence/Richmond Fed, followed by jobless claims mid-week. Expect volatility spikes around these releases, but also choppier price action between them — so it’s a good week to size down, and wait for clean confirmation before committing to a setup.

XAUUSD Intraday Plan | Price Back Below Key ResistanceGold is once again trading below the 4334 resistance. After reaching the 4362 target yesterday, price sharply retraced and slipped back below 4334, now trading around 4321 and below the MA50. Price action has turned bearish in the short term. If 4334 continues to hold as resistance, a rotation back into the reaction zone becomes likely. A break below 4270 would increase downside pressure and shift focus toward the support zone for a potential reaction. For bulls to regain control, price needs to reclaim 4334, followed by a break above 4362 to open the path toward 4395. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4334 4362 4395 Support: 4301 4270 4237 4185

XAUUSD Intraday Plan | Bulls Need 4334Gold played out in line with the analysis. The reaction zone held as support, and the confirmed break above 4301 delivered the move into 4334 as expected. Price is now trading around 4325, with 4334 acting as the immediate resistance. A confirmed break and hold above 4334 would keep momentum alive and open the path toward 4362, with 4395 as the next upside extension if buyers stay in control. If price fails to clear 4334 again, expect another rotation lower — in that case, focus shifts back to the lower levels for the reaction. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4334 4362 4395 Support: 4301 4270 4237 4185

After failing to hold the upside, price has rotated lower and is now testing the reaction zone. From here, watch how price behaves. A reclaim and hold above 4301 would allow another push toward 4334, with 4362 possible if momentum builds.

XAUUSD Intraday Plan | 4285 Hit, Whats Next?Analysis has played out perfectly, with gold reaching our 4285 target. For any further upside, buyers must break and hold above 4285, which would open the path toward 4322. If price fails to clear 4285, expect a pullback toward lower support levels. Gold is currently trading at the top of the range, and with it being Friday, volatility tends to increase — meaning we could see sudden sharp spikes and downside whipsaws. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4285 4322 Support: 4251 4219 4185

XAUUSD Intraday Plan | Powell Spike Fades, 4219 Back in FocusWe saw a solid push into the 4,251 resistance yesterday following Powell’s speech, but the move was short-lived. Price retraced all gains during the Asian session and is now trading around 4,215 — once again sitting below the 4,219 resistance. The overall outlook remains unchanged: Buyers must reclaim the 4,219 resistance to target 4,251, with 4,285 becoming achievable if momentum strengthens. If selling pressure builds, we could see the 4,185 Reaction Zone tested again. A break below 4,185 would expose the Support Zone, where buyers may look to react. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4219 4251 4285 Support: 4185 4144 4102

GOLD / XAUUSD — day trader update (postnFOMC)FOMC produced a lower liquidity sweep into ~4180 then sharp reversal stop hunt + institutional absorption. • Breakout above intraday range & trendline with heavy accumulation; structure now favors short-term bulls while price holds 4220 4210. • Trade plan: conservative entries on retest 4208–4220 (SL 4180). Aggressive entries above 4235 (SL 4210). Targets 4258–4265, failure invalidates below 4195. • Risk: high keep size small, widen stops to account for elevated volatility. Macro catalyst (yields / USD) will dictate close of week bias.

Gold Technical Outlook: Gold 📈 Upside Scenario (Bullish) The current trading level is around the break-even point of 4180. We can note that the current trend suggests trading around this break-even point with a bullish direction aiming to reach the resistance line at 4218. Confirmation: Breaking the resistance line at 4218 and closing a 1-hour candle above it will fully support the upside trend. Targets: The movement will be towards reaching the levels of 4245 and 4265. 📉 Downside Scenario (Bearish) If the price manages to make a correction and breaks the break-even point of 4180 downwards, the trend will become bearish, aiming to reach the support line at 4165. Continuation: To continue the descent towards the level of 4145, the 4165 support level must be broken. Summary of Key Levels Break-even Area: 4180 Upside Targets: 4218, 4245, 4265 Downside Targets/Supports: 4165, 4145

XAUUSD Intraday Plan | Rejection at 4219 Shifts Momentum LowerYesterday’s analysis is playing out — after failing to break the 4219 resistance, gold reversed and tested the lower boundary of the Reaction Zone. Price is currently trading below the Reaction Zone and also below both the MA50 and MA200, signaling potential downside continuation toward the Support Area if selling pressure persists. For any meaningful upside, buyers must first reclaim 4185 (previous support now turned resistance). A break and hold above 4185 would open the door for another test of 4219. A clean break above 4219 would shift short-term momentum and open the path toward 4251. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4185 4219 4251 Support: 4144 4102 4049 4014 🔎Fundamental focus: With the FOMC decision approaching tomorrow, markets tend to behave erratically: quick wicks, fake outs, fast reversals and increased volatility are typical. This is not the time to over-leverage — protect your capital and expect sudden moves in both directions.

XAUUSD Intraday Plan|Bulls vs. 4232 — Break or Reject?Gold dropped into the Reaction Zone as outlined in yesterday’s analysis and bounced back, currently trading around 4206. Price is sitting between the two moving averages and still below the 4232 resistance, waiting for a fresh catalyst. For buyers to take price higher, we need a clean break above 4232, which would open the path toward 4274, and if momentum is strong, a possible move toward 4322. If we see another failed attempt at 4232, price is likely to revisit the Reaction Zone. If this zone gives way, watch the Support Zone and the HTF Support Zone, where buyers are likely to step back in. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4232 4274 4322 Support: 4185 4141 4102 4049 4014 3966 🔎Fundamental focus: Today brings several high-mid-tier U.S. data releases - all of which may add short bursts of volatility. With major events still ahead later in the week, markets may stay reactive and sensitive to headlines.

Gold Intraday Plan | Bullish Bias ,Watching Reaction ZonesGold continued its upward momentum after breaking out of the recent consolidation range, closing the session around 4215. The moving averages (MA50 & MA200) remain well below current price action, confirming strong bullish momentum and may act as dynamic support on any intraday dips. The immediate resistance sits at 4232 — a clean break and sustained hold above this level would open the path toward 4274. If 4,232 holds as resistance, watch the First Reaction Zone for a potential bounce. Failure of this zone could trigger a deeper pullback into the Support Zone, where buyers may attempt to step back in. The overall bias remains bullish, and dips continue to offer potential buying opportunities as long as price holds above the key support structure and maintains higher-timeframe trend alignment. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4232 4274 4322 Support: 4185 4168 4141 4102 🔍Fundamental focus: This week is loaded with key U.S. data that could drive volatility in gold. We have ISM Manufacturing PMI, JOLTS, ADP jobs data, GDP revisions, unemployment claims, ISM Services PMI, and Friday’s PCE inflation numbers. With so many high-impact releases stacked together, markets may react sharply to any sign of weakening labour conditions or shifts in inflation momentum — both of which directly influence Fed expectations.

XAU/USD Intraday Plan | Gold Stuck Between 4142–4167Yesterday we saw a break above the 4142 level, but gold failed to extend higher, resulting in a ranging move between 4142 and 4167. Buyers now need to clear the 4167 minor resistance to push toward 4198. If price can’t hold and slips back below 4142, we could see a retest of the consolidation range. Continued selling pressure would then shift focus toward the Support Zone. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4167 4198 4232 Support: 4142 4098 4052 4016 3968 🔎Fundamental focus: Today is a U.S. bank holiday, which means trading volume is thinner than usual.

XAUUSD Intraday Plan| Breakout Above 4142, Eyes on 4198 Next?Gold has finally broken above the 4142 resistance after a day of consolidation, showing renewed bullish strength. Price is now trading above both moving averages, with the MA50 crossing above the MA200. If bullish momentum holds, we can expect a retest of 4198, and a clean break above that level would open the path toward 4232 next. However, if price drops back below 4142, we may see a move back into the consolidation range. A confirmed break beneath that range would then open the door for a deeper pullback into the Support Zone. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4198 4232 4274 Support: 4142 4098 4052 4016 3968 🔎Fundamental focus: Today brings a cluster of important U.S. data releases — Unemployment Claims, Durable Goods Orders, and the Chicago PMI.

XAU/USD Intraday Plan | Gold Breaks Out — Can Buyers Hold?Gold broke out of the consolidation range yesterday, finally pushing above the 4098 level and extending into the 4142 resistance zone. Price is now sitting above both the MA50 and MA200 — a constructive sign — but both moving averages remain flat, showing that momentum has not fully shifted yet. If buyers want to build on this breakout, they need a clean hold above 4142. A confirmed break here would open the path toward 4198 → 4232. If gold fails to clear 4142, we could see a pullback. First support sits at 4098, followed by 4052. A deeper correction would bring us back into the Support Zone (4016–3968), with the HTF Support Zone (3921–3862) acting as the major safety net. 📌Key levels to watch: Resistance: 4142 4198 4232 Support: 4098 4052 4016 3968 3921 3862 📰 Fundamental Focus: Today brings the first batch of high-impact U.S. data for the week, including Core PPI, PPI, and Retail Sales — all key indicators of inflation and consumer strength.

XAU/USD Intraday Plan – NFP Will Decide the Next MoveGold failed to clear the 4115 resistance yesterday, which led to a retest of the 4053 level — now acting as intraday support. Price is currently trapped between the MA200 and MA50, reflecting indecision ahead of the NFP release. We need to see a clean break above the immediate resistance at 4078. A sustained move above 4115 would confirm a momentum shift and open the door toward 4170 → 4232. If price fails to clear 4078, we may see continued consolidation or another pullback into the Support Zone. A break below 3,996 would expose the HTF Support Zone (3968–3921). 📌Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: 4078 4115 4170 4232 Support: 4053 4027 3996 3968 3921 🔎Fundamental Focus: Today is all about NFP, one of the most market-moving releases for gold.

XAU/USD Intraday Plan — Critical Resistance AheadGold has shown a strong recovery from the Support Zone, reclaiming the 50MA and breaking above the 4078 resistance, which has now flipped into support. Price is currently trading around 4095, but the 200MA is acting as immediate resistance. For buyers to continue higher, we need a clean break above 4115, the next key resistance. A confirmed break above this level would open the path toward 4170 and 4232. If price fails to clear 4115, we could see a rejection back toward the 4078–4053 immediate support area. A break below that zone would expose a deeper pullback into the Support Zone again. 📌 Key Levels to Watch Resistance: 4115 4170 4232 Support: 4078 4053 4027 3996 🔎Fundamental Focus: The key event today is the FOMC Meeting Minutes, which could spark volatility depending on whether the tone appears more hawkish or dovish.
