Gold Holds Steady Amid Consolidation Phase📊 Market Overview:
Gold is holding steady around $3,342/oz, slightly lower by ~0.1% as investors await Fed Chair’s speech at the Jackson Hole symposium. Meanwhile, geopolitical risks continue to support gold as a safe-haven asset.
📉 Technical Analysis:
• Key Resistance: $3,350 – $3,435
• Nearest Support: $3,300 – $3,310 (100-day MA)
• EMA: Price is trading above the 100-day MA but still below the 200-hour MA, signaling short-term recovery momentum but resistance ahead.
• Candle / Momentum: Market remains in a tight consolidation range; RSI shows potential cooling before the next move.
📌 Outlook:
Gold may edge higher in the short term if the Fed signals a dovish shift (rate cut), targeting the $3,400 zone. If policy remains unchanged, gold could consolidate further or retrace toward $3,300.

Gold in a falling wedge pattern: Ready for a strong ride upPrice on XAUUSD looks quite interesting right now, this recent has brought a new look to it, as it's forming a more optimistic pattern.
The most recent interaction here is particularly interesting, because it's already showing early signs of recovering and decreased bearish momentum. What may follow: low-volume candles suggesting exhaustion and potential upwards.
My target would be toward 3360. If this move plays out, it will make a beautiful play of a narrative that’s we've been following for Gold.
This setup is so compelling. It’s a story being shown, but still requires patience and confirmation.
Though a scenario for more downside is possible as we have a clear support zone below. Still, I am taking the side for more upside because of the pattern forming here.
XAUUSDHello Traders! 👋
What are your thoughts on GOLD?
Gold remains trapped in a tight consolidation range between key support and resistance zones.
In the short term, the ongoing decline is expected to extend toward the support area, where a bullish reaction may occur.
As long as price stays within this range, the optimal strategy is to buy near support and sell near resistance.
A clear breakout above resistance or below support is needed to confirm the next directional move

XAUUSD/SELLAfter the release of the Federal Reserve minutes yesterday, gold prices rose to 3352 but didn't rise further. The minutes mentioned several key points, namely inflation and unemployment. Overall, the unemployment rate is more important than the inflation rate. Meanwhile, the renewed talks between Russia and Ukraine seemed uneventful, and the meeting went smoothly. As a result, gold prices fell again after the Asian market opened.
The current price is 3337, down approximately $15/ounce from 3352, indicating that upward pressure remains. During this pullback, we need to watch whether the decline can be halted around 3330-3335. If not, we need to wait for a lower level, around 3310. Today is Thursday. Focus on the impact of the initial jobless claims data on gold prices.
For trading, you can still refer to the current selling strategy. While waiting for a decline, confirm the presence of support below. Currently, there is no major news to boost gold prices. Remember to manage your trading risk. Set take-profit and stop-loss orders to prevent extreme market fluctuations from adversely affecting your account.
XAUUSD/BUYSure enough, gold prices rebounded after retreating to 3338, resulting in a short-term price increase of $8 per ounce.
The gold market is awaiting news to drive a rally. Just now, when it was about to hit 3350, it retreated. I interpret this as a tentative rise, as bulls are currently in control. This test is merely a test to see if bears will launch a counterattack. As expected, the bull-bear game is a tug-of-war. Both bulls and bears are now vying for the crucial 3345 level. This level serves as a short-term reversal point for the month. If bulls seize this level, the market will continue to rise. If bears seize this level, the market will experience short-term downward fluctuations.
In the latter half of the New York market, I believe the market will fluctuate within a range of approximately $10. The Swing Trading Center recommends continuing to buy.
XAUUSD/BUYAfter the New York market opened, the gold price hit 3350 before retreating. This indeed reached the profit target set by the swing trading center. The current price has retreated to 3342, but the decline has not continued. This is because the previous resistance level of 3345 has formed a certain support level after breaking through this level and then retreating. In short, the short-term focus should be on whether the 3340-3345 range stabilizes. If so, gold prices may rise again after the upcoming Federal Reserve news.
Gold Break Strong After Liquidity Sweep Next Target Before FOMCXAUUSD Update | Gold Breaks Strong After Liquidity Sweep – Next Target Before FOMC
Gold has made a powerful bullish comeback, exactly as anticipated in the MMFLOW Trading Plan. After clearing liquidity below, price quickly reversed and is now showing strong buying pressure. This move was no surprise, as the current market structure clearly supports a bullish breakout – and today we may even see price break above the H1 downtrend line ahead of the FOMC statement.
📈 Active Buy Entries from Plan:
✅ Buy 3314 → Now +340 PIPS
✅ Buy 3318 (DCA) → Now +300 PIPS
✅ Buy 3325 (DCA) → Now +230 PIPS
👉 For now, traders should stick with the bullish momentum. Short positions should only be considered if there is confirmed sell volume.
🔑 Key Trading Levels:
📍 3370 – Major level to watch for potential SELL setups.
Market reaction around this zone will be crucial, especially before FOMC, which is expected to bring high volatility.
⚡️ Trading Tip: Follow the trend, respect KeyLevels, and manage risk carefully. With FOMC around the corner, the market could deliver explosive opportunities.
✨ Once again – KeyLevels = Profits ✅
GOLD: Falling Wedge, Time To Buy?My overall bias is still bullish. HL was formed above 3305. We did get a deeper pullback. Price tapped into H4 demand zone 3322–3332 which has a bullish FVG confluence. Sell-side liquidity below 3332 was swept.
✅ Primary Breakout Entry (conservative, higher probability)
Trigger: M15 break + close above 3352
Entry on retest: 3348–3352

GOLD: Squeeze to Rate Cut, then Blast-Off to $4200?The price of gold, a classic safe-haven asset, is currently in a state of flux due to several interconnected factors. Looking at future events and fundamentals, we can anticipate how they might impact its price points.
Powell's Rate Cut
An anticipated rate cut from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on 17SEP25 is a key bullish signal for gold. Lower interest rates typically decrease the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making them more attractive compared to interest-bearing bonds. If JPow begins to drop rates in September (and is dovish in comments regarding further cuts), we could begin to see the beginning of gold's next measured move to around $4200 (see purple target). If JPow doesn't cut, doesn't cut enough, or cuts but is extremely hawkish towards further cuts; expect a pullback towards the 200-day moving average and further ranging for a period until the next Fed Chairman is confirmed.
President Trump has recently called for the Federal Reserve to make significant cuts; in one instance stating that rates should be lowered by three percentage points from their current range. As of 19AUG25, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has indicated 11 possible candidates for the next Fed Chair position; expect that when confirmed, the next Fed Chair may significantly reduce rates (but do not assume the next Fed Chair will cut as deep as three percentage points).
BRICS Monetary Competition
Additionally, the push for de-dollarization by BRICS nations is a significant long-term driver for gold. Countries like China and Russia are actively increasing their gold reserves to diversify away from the U.S. dollar, creating sustained demand. This monetary competition fundamentally alters gold's role, positioning it as a key component of a new, multi-polar financial system. As central banks continue to accumulate gold, it strengthens the metal's standing as a universal reserve asset. This trend is likely to provide a strong floor for gold prices around its 200-day moving average, and any significant moves toward a gold-backed BRICS currency could lead to a monumental re-evaluation of gold's value, potentially pushing its price to the $4,000/oz range or higher over time.

Gold 15M OB Reaction – Targeting 3355Price is currently trading around the $3,333 level after reacting to the M15 and M5 Order Blocks (OB). The market is showing signs of a potential reversal from this demand zone, supported by the break of the descending trendline.
Entry Zone: Price is mitigating the M5 OB within the larger M15 OB.
Targets:
TP1: $3,339 – aligned with local liquidity ($$$) and previous highs.
Final TP: $3,357 – a major liquidity zone and supply area.
If price holds above the OB, we can expect bullish continuation towards TP levels. However, a break below $3,323 would invalidate this setup and signal deeper downside.
📊 Bias: Bullish (as long as OB holds).
Gold Is Consolidating in the Short Term📊 Market Developments:
Spot gold is hovering around $3,337/oz, as investors await Fed Chair Powell’s remarks at the Jackson Hole symposium (Aug 21–23) for signals on possible rate cuts. Meanwhile, geopolitical updates on U.S. diplomacy in Ukraine also influence sentiment.
📉 Technical Analysis:
• Key Resistance: $3,380/oz
• Nearest Support: $3,330–$3,335/oz
• EMA 09: Price is consolidating near support, no clear direction yet.
• Candlestick / Volume / Momentum: Neutral, waiting for fresh catalysts.
📌 Outlook:
Gold may range or edge higher short-term if the Fed signals dovishness. Otherwise, a pullback toward support remains likely.

Detailed Gold AnalysisOverview: Gold is trading near 3340, consolidating near the apex of the symmetrical triangle pattern after recent bearish breakout. Prices successfully hold the key 3330 support. A breakout above the apex could open the path toward 3355 (Fib 0.382) and further toward the 3365 level.
Biasness: Gold might gain bullish support as optimism over potential peace talks between Russia and Ukraine is getting fade gaining safe-haven flows. Uncertainty around geopolitical developments and the weakness in US dollar will also support strong upside momentum.
Key Levels: R1- 3355 R2- 3365
S1- 3330 S2- 3300
Technical Analysis: The RSI is recovering from oversold territory around 46, suggesting early bullish momentum, while Bollinger Bands are tightening, indicating a potential volatility expansion ahead. Volume remains moderate but shows spikes near support levels, hinting at buyer interest. Overall, intraday traders should watch the triangle breakout direction, as it will dictate the next leg.
Data Releases: No major data releases are scheduled today, keeping gold steady as traders look ahead. Market participants now await tomorrow’s U.S. housing starts data for fresh direction.
Alternative Scenario: On the downside, a failure to hold above 3330 risks a drop toward 3298–3267.

XAUUSD m15 CHART, Sharing a bullish phuking setupA bullish Quasimodo is forming — the last Lower Low created by the market is showing a good Order Block on the M5 timeframe. If this OB was standing alone, I wouldn’t consider it valid. But since it aligns with the last LL according to the QML structure, this OB can be valid. Keep SL tight.

Gold Recovers as Rate-Cut Hopes Strengthen📊 Market Summary:
• Gold (XAU/USD) rose slightly +0.5% to ~$3,350.55/oz, supported by growing expectations of Fed rate cuts and lower U.S. bond yields, which boosted safe-haven demand.
• However, easing geopolitical tensions have reduced strong safe-haven flows, putting mild pressure on gold.
📉 Technical Analysis:
• Resistance Levels:
• $3,400 – immediate resistance
• $3,420 – next key resistance if $3,400 is broken
• Support Levels:
• $3,330–$3,335 – strong support zone
• $3,310 – secondary support if $3,330 fails
• EMA & MAs: Price is holding above most short-term EMAs/MAs (MA5, MA10, MA20 → bullish; only MA200 remains bearish) → trend still bullish.
• Momentum Indicators: RSI ~62 (positive), Stoch & MACD remain bullish, ADX ~30 confirms a relatively strong trend.
📌 Outlook:
• Short-term: Gold could retest $3,400–$3,420 if dovish Fed signals and low yields persist.
• Risk: A hawkish Fed tone or easing geopolitical risks could drag gold back down toward $3,330 and possibly $3,310.

XAUUSD (Gold) 1H – Buy Setup From Key Support ZoneGold has recently pulled back after multiple rejections from the $3,389 – $3,390 resistance zone, showing sellers stepping in. Price is now approaching a key demand area around $3,309, where buyers previously defended aggressively.
📉 If price taps into the $3,309 support zone, we anticipate a strong bullish reaction that could drive price back toward the $3,390 resistance.
🔑 Trade Idea
Entry: $3,309 zone (confirmation of bullish rejection)
Stop Loss: Below $3,265
Take Profit: $3,389 – $3,390
Risk–Reward Ratio: ~1:3
📊 Technical Breakdown
🔵 Support Zone: $3,309 – Key structure level where bulls defended in the past.
🔵 Resistance Zone: $3,389 – $3,390, strong rejection area marked by multiple failed breakouts.
✅ Bias: Bullish from support to resistance, unless $3,309 breaks.
⚠️ Invalidation: A clean breakdown below $3,265 would flip bias bearish toward $3,200.
Gold (XAU/USD) 15m Chart AnalysisGold is currently holding above the 3,345 support zone, aligned with the 200 EMA (blue line). Price tested this support area and showed a bullish reaction, indicating potential demand.
🔑 Key Levels:
Support: 3,344 – 3,345 zone
Resistance: 3,357
📈 Bias:
If price sustains above the highlighted demand zone, we may see a bullish continuation toward the 3,357 resistance level. The projection suggests a possible pullback before continuing higher.
⚠️ Watch out:
A clean break below 3,344 could invalidate this setup and open the way for further downside.
Wait for pre-meeting guidance, focus on 3343-3330#XAUUSD
The current market focus is mainly on the upcoming talks.🤝 As expected, the news of the meeting between Trump and Putin was leaked over the weekend. 💻We still need to wait and see the news in the next two days to see whether the Russia-Ukraine war issue can be effectively resolved. 💠
If peace talks between the two sides can be effectively facilitated and risk aversion is reduced, gold will remain weak.🐻 Conversely, if the talks fail, a retaliatory bullish rally is highly likely.📈
Last Friday, gold prices fluctuated very narrowly, failing to find a valid trading point. ⚖️The early morning opening at a new low not only effectively allowed short sellers to exit their positions,😝 but also allowed market makers to reap the profits of last week's long traders😩.
Since the short sellers have all taken profits in the early trading session, there must be greedy people and traders seeking revenge in the market who will take over and short sell at low levels,📊 otherwise gold would not have risen so quickly. 📈
So, theoretically speaking, before the talks are concluded, I think the market will definitely eliminate the traders who shorted at the low level this morning.🐂
The overall hourly line is still under pressure at the high resistance line of 3358.💥 We will first see whether it can fall below 3343 in the European session. 🐂Only after it breaks will it test the small support of 3330. Otherwise, the bulls will still have to counterattack at a low position. Today, we will mainly go long at a low level.📈
