Is gold at its peak?Gold has staged a "buy the rumor, sell the fact" move. The U.S. nonfarm payrolls data was bullish for gold, yet gold plummeted after the data release. There’s no need for confusion—it’s not as you might think, that bullish data means the price rises and bearish data means it falls. If it were that simple, everyone would be making money. Data and fundamentals are reflected in prices, but such reflections can be ahead of time, lagging, exceeding expectations, or falling short of expectations. Judging which scenario it is depends solely on the historical database one has accumulated and long-term real-trading experience. Today, I added to my gold positions twice and am still holding them. Even if the price falls further, my profits won’t decrease. This is because I believe today’s decline is most likely a result of some profit-taking traders closing their positions on the opportunity—after all, there have been no major bearish factors in the fundamentals yet. Whether a daily-level correction will occur still requires further observation. After all, since the rally started on August 20, there has been no real daily-level correction except for the sharp intraday pullback on September 4, and a correction would actually make the trend healthier. The period from now to next week is a critical short-term window for gold. I will closely track and analyze the market every day.

GOLD: Bulls Continue To Bully Their Way ThroughI'm looking for a dip to buy... (H4) Gold has extended higher and is now trading firmly inside the 3630–3645 area. Structure remains bullish, but price is reaching into premium levels so we could get a pull back. Buyside liquidity sits around 3650 (H1) A strong push from 3585 to 3634 left some imbalance behind: 3610–3618 FVG (fresh demand) 3588–3595 (deeper OB if price pulls back more aggressively) (M15) Bullish but candles at 3634 are showing some exhaustion. Liquidity has been swept at 3630–3635, so we may see a correction to fill imbalances before continuation. As long as price holds above 3610, bulls are still in control.

Can gold continue to rise? Where are the opportunities?Gold prices continued their upward trend yesterday, rising without a pullback. We missed out on this rally. While regretful, I have no regrets. At times like these, we must remain cautious. The price of gold is now at a record high. Without the previous top position as a reference, it is difficult to judge from where it will pull back, so we would rather do nothing than make mistakes. Of course, if a good trading opportunity arises, we must seize it. Looking at the trend range on the 1-hour chart, we are currently trading above the range. Therefore, my advice is not to chase the rally; it's best to wait for a correction and stabilization before entering the market. 3630 is today's low, and 3640 is yesterday's high. Therefore, we can wait for gold prices to retest the 3630-3640 range. If it stabilizes, we can enter the market. Otherwise, if it breaks, we'll look to the 3600 mark.

Short sellers' exit strategy and outlook for the marketGold has been rising recently and has deviated from technical analysis in the short term. Out of fear of heights and to avoid the potential risks brought about by chasing high prices, I have been trying to short gold at the top recently. Unfortunately, it is difficult for gold to get an effective pullback in the short term. Even if the account has a certain amount of funds to resist risks, the short orders held in the short term are still facing great pressure. After increasing our short positions near 3620 yesterday, we originally expected gold to at least retreat to 3605-3595, so that we can turn losses into profits in one fell swoop, reverse the temporary losses in our hands, and realize profits completely. However, gold did not give an ideal opportunity in the evening, and even rose to around 3645 at one point, which forced us to try to short gold again by touching the top. However, the pullback last night was limited and failed to effectively fall below 3633, so we can only hold positions again and wait for trading opportunities in the Asian session. After the opening of the Asian session in the morning, there was only a slight pullback. As the gold price continued to rise, the short-term support moved up. In addition, considering that gold had difficulty falling below 3633 last night, the buying funds below were too strong. In order to better protect the safety of account funds, I had to close all short orders in my hands near 3630 and start creating long orders to execute hedging transactions. Since we managed the number of trading lots in our account relatively properly and the number of low-level trading lots was small, it did not cause too much loss to my account. But this doesn't mean I have lost confidence in future shorts. As I said before, as long as the market remains stuck in the sentiment of buying expectations and selling facts, gold is bound to fall sharply. Just now I closed my long orders and am ready to short gold again. The preliminary value of the benchmark change in non-farm employment in the United States in 2025 will be announced tonight. If it falls short of expectations, gold may still fall back. Although there is no good reference point for the weekly and daily lines, the monthly line is suppressed near the 3700 line. As long as it fails to break through effectively, gold will definitely fall. Therefore, in the short term, I am still optimistic about shorting gold, and I am determined to short at 3660-3700.

GOLD– Market Outlook 🔼 Bullish Scenario: • If the price holds above 3635, the upward momentum is expected to continue. • Target: 3675 (main resistance level). • If 3675 breaks, the price may rise further and enter the bullish zone. 🔽 Bearish Scenario: • If the price stabilizes below the retracement level, a temporary correction may start. • Target: 3595 (strong support). • If the price breaks below 3595 and closes under it (especially on the 1h or 4h timeframe): → The next bearish target will be 3546. ⚠️ However, if 3595 holds and is not broken, the price will likely bounce and resume the bullish trend. ⸻

In a bull market, stick to the long position to the endThe biggest challenge in a one-sided trend lies in courage—the courage to enter the market, the courage to not fear high prices, and the resolve to stop guessing the top. No one can predict how high the price will go. The key to determining long or short positions lies in the starting point of the rally and whether the last top-bottom conversion level has been broken. Trend is king; go with the trend. In a bull market, short-term pullbacks do not disrupt the bullish trend. However, since gold is currently at a high level, it is essential to set up risk protection measures every time before looking for further upside. This will help avoid being caught holding positions at the peak during the final phase of the gold bull market. There’s no need to predict the top in a rally—gold is still in a major bull market, and we’ll keep the gold bullish trade going all the way. From the perspective of the 1-hour trend structure, the overall market movement is extremely sound, including the top-bottom conversion levels and the early-morning rally starting points. While identifying the trend direction may seem simple, this logic is highly effective in a one-sided market. As long as we hold onto the key levels and maintain the bullish outlook unchanged, any pullback is an opportunity to enter the market. For those who haven’t entered yet—this has been emphasized many times—you can go long with a small position around the 3640-3642 range today. For those who entered the market with me earlier, simply hold onto your positions. If you feel confused about the future market trend, or if you have not yet made profits in such a market, follow me and leave me a message – let me help you resolve this issue.

Waiting for Gold PullbackWe’re waiting for gold to retest the broken level, giving us a buying opportunity. The $3500 and $3475 levels look like solid spots for long entries 📈. As always, we don’t dictate where the market should go—we just follow it: If the levels break to the downside, we’ll simply wait for a pullback to short 📉. One of the keys to success is moving with the market, not stubbornly relying on a few lines drawn on the chart. ✅ If the market wants to go up—great, we’re with it. ✅ If it wants to drop—that’s fine too, we’re still with it. Levels are just tools to help us align with the market—not holy lines that must work. Everything in trading is probabilities 🎯, and our levels work about 85% of the time.

Gold Under Pressure Time To Short XAUUSD?Gold (XAUUSD) is currently trading around 3533, and bearish momentum is gaining strength as sellers dominate the market. Price action indicates a strong rejection from the recent highs, signaling potential continuation to the downside. The next major target is 3450, and if selling pressure remains strong, we could see further dips toward deeper support zones. Keep an eye on key levels and trend confirmations before entering positions. Maintain strict risk management and adjust positions according to volatility. A break below current support could open the way for extended bearish movement, making this a crucial opportunity for short traders."

Gold Explodes Higher ( ATH ) – Is Another All-Time High Coming? Gold (XAUUSD) continues to show relentless strength as the DXY weakens and markets price in the likelihood of a FED rate cut. With investors fleeing cash and rushing into safe havens, gold remains the natural choice – and momentum suggests we could see new highs forming day after day until year-end if USD comes under further pressure. 🔎 Macro Outlook FED rate cuts are increasingly expected → bearish USD, bullish Gold. Geopolitical tensions fuel demand for safe-haven assets. Liquidity keeps favoring the upside – no strong reason for profit-taking yet. 📊 Technical Outlook (H1 / H4) Gold has been forming sideway accumulation zones with heavy volume, followed by strong breakouts. This structure shows that buyers are still in full control. Support Zones (Buy Zones): 3,482 – 3,480 SL: 3,474 Targets: 3,486 – 3,490 – 3,495 – 3,500 – 3,505 – 3,510 – 3,520 – 3,530 – 3,540 – ??? Resistance Zones (Sell Zones): 3,540 – 3,542 SL: 3,548 Targets: 3,530 – 3,520 – 3,510 – 3,500 – ??? As long as price respects accumulation structures, the bias remains strongly bullish. Only a clear sentiment shift or exhaustion at higher FIBO extensions would justify mid-term selling. ⚠️ Key Reminder These days, volatility is extremely high. Expect sudden liquidity sweeps and spikes. Stick to your TP/SL discipline to protect capital – the market is punishing anyone careless. 💡 Conclusion: The path of least resistance for Gold remains up. The safest strategy is Buy-the-Dip while respecting risk management. ✅ If you found this analysis useful, don’t forget to like 👍 and follow MMFLOW TRADING to stay updated with the next Gold setups.

GOLD: Where Will The Bulls Take Us Next?Why we should buy... (H4) Market structure is still bullish. Last strong BOS was through 3425, which confirms continuation. Demand Zone to watch:3428–3435 In case we get a deeper pullback, another zone to keep an eye on is 3405–3415. (H1) Gold closed the week strong, creating a clean FVG at 3430–3438 which aligns with H4 demand. As long as price holds above 3428, bulls remain in control. (M15) Intraday structure is bullish. Price is still creating higher highs and higher lows. Liquidity is sitting just above 3455–3460 which you could use for your first target. There is some internal liquidity also built up below 3435. This could be a perfect sweep area for a retest entry. Invalidation: A clean H4 close below 3420 would invalidate my bias and open further decline back into 3405–3415 area.

Gold Price At Record High: Will The Yellow Metal Hit New Highs? The precious metals market is experiencing unprecedented excitement as gold prices soar to fresh record highs, captivating investors and analysts worldwide. With escalating trade tensions and a weakening dollar serving as primary catalysts, the yellow metal has demonstrated remarkable resilience and strength, prompting widespread speculation about whether this bullish momentum can sustain itself into the future. The Current Gold Rush: Understanding the Record-Breaking Performance Gold's recent surge to new all-time highs represents more than just a temporary market fluctuation; it signals a fundamental shift in global economic sentiment. The precious metal, long considered a safe-haven asset during times of uncertainty, has once again proven its worth as investors seek refuge from mounting geopolitical tensions and currency devaluation concerns. The current rally builds upon decades of gold's historical performance as a store of value, but the velocity and magnitude of recent gains have surprised even seasoned market veterans. Trading volumes have reached extraordinary levels as both institutional and retail investors scramble to secure positions in what many perceive as an increasingly valuable hedge against economic instability. Market dynamics have shifted dramatically as traditional investment paradigms face unprecedented challenges. The convergence of multiple economic factors has created what analysts describe as a "perfect storm" for gold appreciation, with technical indicators suggesting that the current momentum may have significant staying power. Trade Tensions: The Geopolitical Engine Behind Gold's Ascent Escalating trade tensions between major global economies have emerged as one of the most significant drivers of gold's recent performance. As diplomatic relationships strain and tariff wars intensify, investors are increasingly turning to gold as protection against the economic fallout from deteriorating international trade relationships. The ripple effects of trade disputes extend far beyond immediate market reactions, creating long-term uncertainty that fundamentally alters investment strategies. Supply chain disruptions, shifting manufacturing bases, and retaliatory measures between trading partners have introduced volatility into traditional asset classes, making gold's stability increasingly attractive. Historical precedent supports the correlation between trade tensions and gold appreciation. During previous periods of international economic conflict, gold has consistently outperformed other asset classes, serving as a reliable indicator of market stress. The current environment mirrors many characteristics of past trade disputes, but the scale and scope of contemporary tensions suggest potentially more sustained pressure on global markets. Corporate earnings have begun reflecting the impact of trade uncertainties, with many multinational companies reporting decreased profitability due to increased operational costs and market access restrictions. This corporate stress translates directly into equity market volatility, further reinforcing gold's appeal as a portfolio diversification tool. Dollar Weakness: Currency Dynamics Fueling Gold's Rise The weakening dollar has provided substantial tailwinds for gold's recent rally, as the inverse relationship between the world's primary reserve currency and precious metals continues to hold true. Dollar depreciation makes gold more affordable for international buyers while simultaneously reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions have played a crucial role in dollar weakness, with accommodative policies designed to support economic growth having unintended consequences for currency strength. Lower interest rates reduce the attractiveness of dollar-denominated investments, prompting capital flows toward alternative stores of value like gold. International central banks have been notable participants in this shift, with many diversifying their foreign exchange reserves away from dollars and toward gold. This institutional buying provides a substantial floor for gold prices while signaling long-term confidence in the metal's value proposition. Currency market volatility has reached levels not seen since major financial crises, creating an environment where traditional hedging strategies prove inadequate. Gold's role as a currency hedge becomes particularly valuable during periods of extreme volatility, as it maintains purchasing power across different monetary systems. Expert Analysis: Professional Perspectives on Gold's Future Leading precious metals analysts remain cautiously optimistic about gold's prospects, though opinions vary regarding the sustainability of current price levels. Many experts point to fundamental supply and demand imbalances that could support higher prices over the medium to long term. Mining industry challenges have contributed to supply constraints that may persist for years. New gold discoveries have declined significantly, while existing mines face increasing production costs due to deeper extraction requirements and stricter environmental regulations. These supply-side factors create a foundation for price appreciation independent of demand fluctuations. Investment demand patterns have evolved substantially, with younger demographics showing increased interest in gold exposure through exchange-traded funds and digital platforms. This demographic shift suggests potential for sustained demand growth as these investors mature and accumulate wealth. Technical analysis reveals strong chart patterns that many experts interpret as indicative of continued upward momentum. Key resistance levels have been decisively broken, and momentum indicators suggest that the current rally may have significant room to run before encountering meaningful technical obstacles. Market Structure and Institutional Participation The composition of gold market participants has undergone significant transformation in recent years, with institutional investors playing an increasingly prominent role. Pension funds, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds have allocated substantial resources to gold exposure, providing stability and reducing volatility compared to retail-dominated markets. Derivatives markets have expanded dramatically, offering sophisticated investors numerous ways to gain gold exposure while managing risk. Options activity has reached record levels, with both speculative and hedging strategies contributing to increased market depth and liquidity. Exchange-traded funds focused on gold have experienced massive inflows, representing one of the most accessible ways for investors to participate in gold's appreciation. These vehicles have democratized gold investment while providing transparency and liquidity that traditional physical ownership cannot match. Central bank policies beyond the United States have also influenced gold markets, with European and Asian monetary authorities implementing strategies that indirectly support precious metals prices. Coordinated global monetary expansion has created conditions favorable to hard asset appreciation. Economic Fundamentals Supporting Gold Inflation expectations have begun rising in many developed economies, creating conditions historically favorable to gold appreciation. While inflation rates remain relatively subdued, forward-looking indicators suggest potential for significant price pressures in coming years. Debt levels across both public and private sectors have reached unprecedented heights, raising questions about long-term fiscal sustainability. Gold serves as a hedge against potential debt crises and currency devaluations that could result from unsustainable borrowing practices. Real interest rates, calculated as nominal rates minus inflation expectations, have turned negative in many jurisdictions. This environment reduces the opportunity cost of holding gold while making yield-bearing alternatives less attractive on an inflation-adjusted basis. Global economic growth concerns have intensified, with many indicators suggesting potential recession risks. Historical data demonstrates gold's tendency to outperform during economic downturns, making current positioning particularly attractive for risk-averse investors. Risks and Challenges Facing Gold's Bull Run Despite strong fundamentals supporting higher gold prices, several factors could potentially derail the current rally. Sudden improvements in trade relationships could reduce safe-haven demand, while unexpected dollar strength might pressure gold prices lower. Cryptocurrency adoption continues expanding, with some investors viewing digital assets as modern alternatives to traditional safe havens like gold. This technological disruption could potentially reduce gold's relevance for younger investors seeking portfolio diversification. Central bank policy reversals remain a constant threat to gold's momentum. Should major monetary authorities shift toward more hawkish policies, resulting interest rate increases could make yield-bearing assets more attractive relative to gold. Market positioning has become increasingly crowded, with speculative positions reaching levels that historically precede corrective pullbacks. While fundamentals remain supportive, technical factors suggest vulnerability to profit-taking activities. Looking Ahead: Future Prospects for Gold The convergence of multiple supportive factors suggests that gold's bull market may have significant longevity, though volatility should be expected along the way. Structural changes in global monetary systems, persistent geopolitical tensions, and evolving investor preferences all point toward sustained demand for precious metals exposure. Long-term demographic trends favor gold appreciation, as emerging market wealth accumulation traditionally includes substantial precious metals allocations. Growing middle classes in Asia and other developing regions represent vast potential demand that could support higher prices for decades. Environmental and social governance considerations are beginning to influence mining operations, potentially constraining future supply growth while supporting premium pricing for responsibly sourced gold. These factors add another dimension to gold's investment thesis beyond traditional monetary considerations. The yellow metal's record-breaking performance appears to reflect genuine fundamental changes rather than speculative excess, suggesting that new highs may indeed be achievable. While short-term volatility remains inevitable, the underlying conditions supporting gold's appreciation show little sign of abating, making a compelling case for continued strength in the precious metals complex. As global economic uncertainty persists and traditional investment paradigms face mounting challenges, gold's role as a portfolio cornerstone seems likely to expand rather than diminish, potentially driving prices to levels previously thought impossible.
