Gold Pulls Back Slightly as USD Strengthens,Fed Support in Place📊 Market Overview:
Gold prices dipped around 0.2% to about $3,364/oz as the U.S. dollar rallied, reducing gold's appeal to foreign buyers. Still, expectations of an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve continue to provide support for bullion
📉 Technical Analysis:
• Key Resistance: around $3,370 – $3,375, with potential upside toward $3,400 if broken
• Nearest Support: around $3,350 – $3,360
• EMA (assumed EMA 09): Price hovering near EMA09; short-term trend unclear—charts needed to confirm breakout or breakdown.
• Candlestick/Volume/Momentum: Slight selling pressure observed; momentum modest, while Fed-driven optimism limits downside.
📌 Outlook:
Gold may edge higher in the short term if the USD weakens and the Fed signals actual easing over upcoming policy moves. A stronger USD may trigger another short-term correction.

Buy Gold after the Asian low liquidity sweep!Hello everyone,
Wishing everyone a productive week ahead.
As we begin the week, I am closely monitoring Gold for a potential long opportunity toward the 3400–3410 zone, an area where liquidity is likely positioned. Before considering entries, I would prefer to see a minor retracement to partially correct the imbalance left by Friday’s aggressive upward move.
Should a clear bullish structure confirm itself during this phase, I will look to establish long positions.
Below, I have outlined several key factors supporting this bullish bias, along with charts for reference.
First, on a daily timeframe gold respected the daily imbalance and bounced up from the low of the imbalance.
Second, looking at a 4 hour timeframe, we can see a clear break of structure after liquidity was swept on Friday.
Third, I would like to see the 4H void of Friday candle be rebalanced at least half of it. As I expect this to happen, gold might be setting up liquidity that will be used for the entire bullish move.
Lastly, I am interested to see the Asian low being cleared before seeing a potential move to the upside.
If you find this idea helpful, please remember to boost this idea. I will appreciate it.
Gold Breaks Descending Trendline After Support RejectionHello guys!
Price touched the major support level at the recent low, confirming buyers’ activity.
After that, a QM (Quasimodo) pattern formed, often seen before reversals.
The descending trendline has been broken, showing weakness in bearish momentum and a potential shift to the upside.
A long entry can be considered in the QM blue zone, which is now acting as a demand area.
As long as price holds above this zone, the bias remains bullish, with potential for continuation higher.
GOLD - Long📊 XAUUSD – 4H Setup
Gold finally broke out of the descending trendline 📈 after days of bearish movement.
Price tapped into the 3325 demand zone and pushed higher, showing fresh bullish intent.
Right now a clean retest of support could open the door for continuation into key resistance.
📍 Key Levels
Buy zone: 3350 demand retest level
First target: 3400 short-term resistance
Extended target: 3439 supply zone
Invalidation: Close below 3310 ⚠️
💡 Risks
False breakout above trendline trapping longs
Weak follow-through volume could send price back into the range
Macro pressure from USD strength keeping gold capped under 3380
✨ Big Picture
Gold has been coiling for weeks. If buyers defend 3325, we could see this breakout develop into a bigger bullish leg 🚀

Bitcoin (BTC/USDT) 4-Hour Chart Analysis
The Bitcoin chart shows a 4-hour timeframe analysis, focusing on a short-term uptrend channel.
Key Levels: The price is trading within an ascending channel. A significant support zone is identified between 112,000 - 114,000 USDT. A "weak supply zone" is marked around 118,000 USDT, which is currently acting as support. A major resistance is at approximately 124,564 USDT.
Price Action: After a strong push towards the channel's upper boundary, the price has pulled back and is now retesting the "weak supply zone."

The price movement appears to be following the blue projected path.

Conclusion: Bitcoin is at a pivotal point within its uptrend channel. Its ability to hold the 118,000 USDT level will be crucial for a potential re-test of the 124,564 USDT resistance.
21 Aug Trade Review - Target 2 almost reached - Before JackholeI should have noticed that the gold price was not coming down a lot and before a big news event, sometimes the price action is opposite one.
I was surprised price started to move at 10 pm, I thought will be 10.30 pm when Powell said some "key words".
Gold had turned bullish, Monday we might expect a bit of retracement, but higher prices expected, target 3400-3420.
Buy opportunity on Gold with overall target at 3358Hello traders,
I’m looking at a potential long setup on Gold around the 3329 zone. Here’s why:
During mid-London session, price dipped into the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level (3327).
This level also aligns with the midpoint of a daily imbalance (FVG), making it an area of high confluence.
On the 4H chart, Gold has already shown rejection from this zone, suggesting buyers are stepping in to defend it.
Based on this, I expect today’s low could be set around this area.
Trading plan:
Entry: 3329–3333
Targets: 3342 and 3358
Stop loss: 3321

XAUUSD – US Session Weekly Close Update - FED NEWS📰 Macro Outlook
The Federal Reserve remains firm on its 2% inflation target while keeping unemployment low.
The US labor market is showing signs of weakness: job supply stagnates, demand falls → higher unemployment risk.
New tariffs could push inflation higher while also slowing down economic growth.
Fed gradually moves away from FAIT, focusing back on a strict 2% inflation goal.
Powell didn’t promise rate cuts, but hinted at possible policy easing in September if economic conditions align.
🔑 Key Technical Levels
Buy Retest Zone: 3343 – 3345
Mid-term Resistance: 3377 – 3380
Target Buy Zone: 3396 – 3400
✅ Primary Scenario (Bullish Bias)
After a strong breakout from the downtrend, price is likely to retest 3343 – 3345 to build momentum.
Holding above this zone opens the path to 3377 and potentially 3396 – 3400.
🔻 Alternative Scenario
A clean break below 3340 with an H1 close could push price lower toward 3325 – 3320 before a possible recovery.
🎯 Trading Plan for the US Session
BUY on retest 3343 – 3345
SL: below 3338
TP: 3377 → 3396 → 3400
Short-term SELL only if strong rejection appears around 3396 – 3400.
⚡ As liquidity thins out toward the weekend, it’s safer to follow the bullish momentum, scale positions wisely, and avoid chasing price near key resistances.
Newmont Corp | NEM | Long at $48.00While gold prices have soared recently, gold mining stocks have lagged. Newmont Corp NYSE:NEM , the world's largest gold mining corporation, may be undervalued if the miners take off to catch up to the gold demand/price. Currently sitting near $48.00 and at a historical moving average that it will need to break to show a true trend reversal, NYSE:NEM is in a personal buy zone. Now, the price may break down at the simple moving average and test the patience of shareholders, but the long game may benefit those who can tolerate the volatility.
Target #1 = $57.00
Target #2 = $71.00
Cup and handle pattern spotted: Optimistic view for GoldOANDA:XAUUSD is showing a clean Cup and Handle setup. The price dipped to around 3,310, rounded out, and climbed back to the 3,350–3,360 zone, that’s our cup. Now it's pulling back slightly into a tight handle.
If price breaks above it with strength, I’d be expecting a move toward 3,368$. Until then, it’s a waiting game, no breakout, no trade.
Classic bullish setup forming, as anticipation is building up.

🔻 SELL XAU/USD : 3335–3338

Gold Price Analysis August 22The gold market in recent sessions has shown a rather weak bullish force, so the possibility of a decline at the end of the week is worth noting. Currently, the price is still fluctuating in the important border zone of 3359 - 3330.
Notable points:
3330 is still a key support zone. However, it is advisable to wait for a clear confirmation signal from the candle before taking action to avoid falling into the False Break trap.
When 3330 is broken, the buying reaction may only appear around 3303.
Absolutely limit trading against the trend when there is a clear breakout signal.
🎯 Reference strategy:
SELL: Activate when the price breaks and maintains below 3330 → Target 3285.
BUY: When the candle closes above 3340 → Target towards 3380.
Gold Breakout Ahead of FOMC – Next Step Trading PlanGold Breakout Ahead of FOMC – Key Levels & Trading Plan
Gold surged strongly in line with MMFLOW’s previous outlook, breaking through short-term resistances and the descending trendline within just one session. This early breakout ahead of the FOMC meeting signals that bullish momentum is firmly in play.
Even though price moved before the actual FOMC release, the market confirmed our directional bias: after clearing liquidity below, Gold quickly bounced back, reclaiming higher zones. With positive fundamentals supporting the metal in the long run, the bullish case for XAUUSD remains intact.
Currently, structure shows a clean breakout of the bearish channel, and we are waiting for a retest of KeyLevels today to fuel the next bullish leg.

Scenarios:
🔹 Buy opportunities near strong support levels

XAUUSD Gold Intraday Setup 21.08.2025Gold has broken out of its bearish channel and is now showing signs of retesting the broken trendline. Price action suggests that the 3332/34 zone (highlighted with confluence from structure support and channel retest) will be key for buyers to step in. As long as price holds above this area, bullish momentum is likely to resume.
The target at 3357 aligns with previous resistance, making it a logical upside objective. A stop-loss below 3323 protects against a deeper retracement back into the bearish structure.
Trading Plan (Buy Setup):
Entry: 3332/34
Stop-Loss: 3323
Target: 3357
Bullish expectations - Gold range - Possible ATH move (1H)Making 1H & 4H accessible for full breakdown
Based off the data from the intraday timeframes, 4H and 1H, I believe we have a possibility of gold continuing it's push to the widely expected 3500 price point.
On the 1H we have been on a minor downtrend as of late in what appears as a retracement from the high created on the 4H from dates July 09 - 22. From July 22-30 we can clearly see a retracement on the 4H to the 3270 area, which is respecting the 3280 area created July 9. Since that point we have ranged within the daily range with no lower lows being created.
As of August 19, we respected 3311, which is a common level of support/ rejection throughout the daily range. Looking at August 19, we respected that area as well with a healthy rejection once again. Referring back to the 1H, we can see August 17 & August 21 holding price around 3326. As long as we see a failure and a higher high created on the 1H and potentially the 4H we can expect more bullish expansion.
Referring back to the 4H, planting the fib at the highs and lows mentioned for the 4H before, the 100% expansion/target aligns w/ price making a HH & the 3500 being breached. As of right now, pa(y)tience is our best option until PA provides more definitive information before potential swings.
A small rebound is not a trend reversal, continue to short#XAUUSD
Gold was stimulated by news yesterday and hit a high of 3352 at one point, but failed to effectively break through and stabilize above it. In the short term, it did not completely reverse the unilateral trend.📊
At present, gold continues to fall and rebounds after testing the effectiveness of the support level of 3330-3320 below. 📈In the short term, pay attention to the 3350 mark above.🌈 Once it breaks through and stabilizes above 3355, it is expected to test the resistance near the previous high of 3370.📉
On the other hand, if gold fails to maintain a firm footing above this level, it will likely remain volatile in the short term.↘️
This is why I didn't immediately follow up with a short position after closing my short position near 3335, 🤔opting instead to wait and see the market. 👀Gold has been fluctuating repeatedly recently. Please be cautious when trading and beware of falling into traps set by market makers.🎁
