How to seize the certain opportunities in the gold market?Yesterday, gold continued its record-breaking rally, achieving its sixth consecutive week of gains and further entering an unknown price range. The core driving force behind this round of gains lies in the market's continued rise in dovish expectations for the Federal Reserve to further implement loose policies before the end of the year. Although the 25 basis point interest rate cut last week has been digested by the market, investors are increasingly expecting two more interest rate cuts in October and December, providing strong support for gold prices. In addition, ongoing geopolitical tensions, increased gold holdings by various countries and strong inflows of funds into gold ETFs have together constituted the multiple pillars of this bull market. Under the interweaving of risk aversion and loose expectations, gold has risen by more than 40% this year, highlighting its strong appeal.
From a technical perspective, the daily chart shows that gold prices closed with a large real body positive line, and the trend is extremely strong. The MACD indicator double lines sent a golden cross signal, confirming the short-term bullish trend. However, the indicator has deviated seriously into the overbought area, suggesting that there is a large risk of technical correction in the later period. Strategy analysis needs to focus on the support role of the MA5 moving average below. If it falls below, it may trigger a deeper adjustment. It is recommended to remain cautious in operation. You can consider light positions and try to arrange short orders on rallies. The upper resistance focuses on the 3780-3800 range, and the lower support is around 3745-3730. Although the current market trend is upward, we need to be vigilant against the risk of high-level corrections.

🧐 Outlook:
The main trend remains bullish, but gold is in a short-term correction after failing at 3778–3781. If 3765 breaks, price may continue to decline toward 3755 – 3750 before buyers step in again.

XAUUSD: Could 3790 Be the Top?After the 3740 → 3790 rally, upside momentum has weakened . Therefore, 3790 is likely a temporary top , and a short-term pullback may begin from here. However, we cannot rule out a retest of the top area or even a marginal higher high today before a sharper correction develops.
📉 Analysis
• After the push to 3,790 , price rotated within 3,778–3,788 and then broke the lower bound (3,778) on high volume . This supports the view that a swing high formed at 3,790 . However, price is currently drifting higher on lighter volume , so a retest of the top or even a marginal higher high before the pullback remains possible.
• Resistance zones: 3,784.5–3,787, 3,794–3,796 .
• Key support zones: 3,746–3,744, 3,723–3,718.
📊 Trading Plan
• Wait for reversal signals with heavy volume at the marked support/resistance zones.
• Highest-probability trigger: an 5m engulfing candle with high volume when price taps these levels.
Example: As in ENTRY 1 , if an 5m engulfing candle prints with high volume (as indicated by Superior Volume ) at a marked support/resistance zone, entry on the candle close .
• Entry on the signal and place the stop just above the signal candle (or above the resistance zone ). Move to break-even at +1R .
New High at 3791, Then Pullback📌 Market Movements:
Recently, gold prices set a new all-time high at $3791/oz before retreating slightly and are now trading around $3778/oz. The initial surge was driven by strong dip-buying and risk-aversion sentiment, but profit-taking pressure pulled prices back from record highs.
📉 Technical Analysis:
🔺 Resistance: 3791 (new ATH) and 3805
🔻 Support: 3770, followed by 3755
📈 EMA 50 on H1 remains below price, confirming short-term bullish bias
🕯️ H1 candles show long upper wicks near 3790–3791, signaling strong selling pressure at resistance
📊 Declining volume during the pullback suggests the market is waiting for the next breakout confirmation
🧐 Outlook:
The main trend remains bullish, but after touching 3791, gold needs consolidation to absorb selling pressure. Holding above 3770 keeps the door open for another test of 3791, aiming toward 3800–3805. A break below 3770 could push gold toward 3755 before any rebound.

Gold breaks through strongly, seizing opportunities is the key!Gold continued its strong rally from last week yesterday, hitting new all-time highs, reaching a high near 3759, sending the market into a frenzy once again. Since its initial rise from 3311, the overall gain has reached nearly $450, a rare and impressive rise in recent years. However, amidst this upward trend, market sentiment is inevitably wary of rising prices.
From a technical perspective, bulls still have upward momentum, but a reversal could lead to a significant pullback. The previous pullback did not reach key support, so the correction remains limited. Short-term pressure is focused on the 3760 area, which is crucial for further gains in the European session. If the European session lacks momentum, the probability of new highs in the US session will decrease. Support below this level is around 3730, with the watershed still near 3700. A break below 3700 would signal the end of the bull market.
Therefore, for intraday trading, it is advisable to try to position yourself based on the initial top. While there are certain risks, the potential for blindly chasing long positions at this level is already limited. It is recommended that if gold touches around 3760-3765, you can consider placing short orders at the right time, and first look at the retracement space below.
Perfectly grasp the golden trading opportunity?Last Thursday and Friday, gold continued its range-sweeping pattern as expected. The market fluctuated too quickly, and hesitation basically meant missing out. However, frequent trading can also be a burden. We ambushed both the bulls and the bears in advance and reaped good profits.
For today's market, first of all, the gold daily chart combination is a typical "big sun front resistance line" pattern, which is an obvious lure to buy. As long as it does not break through the previous high of 3707, then today we tend to continue to be bearish. From a technical point of view, the high-level continuous negative adjustment state is obvious, and the rebound momentum is gradually weakening. The long upper shadow line of the daily line shows that the upper selling pressure is heavy, and the short-term bullish power is insufficient. The upper track of the Bollinger band in the 4-hour cycle is repeatedly under pressure, the MACD momentum column continues to shrink, and the fast and slow lines show signs of forming a dead cross, indicating that the rise is weak.
On the news front, the Fed's expected interest rate cut has been realized, and the realization of positive news has weakened the momentum for gold to rise further. The subsequent market focus will be on "whether there will be another interest rate cut and the extent of the cut." Uncertainty makes funds more inclined to take profits at high levels. At the same time, the US dollar index stabilized and rebounded, and US Treasury yields stopped falling, which continued to suppress gold.
At the level of funds and market sentiment, long positions are already at a high level, with limited room for growth. Institutions are more likely to overvalue and undervalue at high levels, and it is difficult for gold to maintain a sustained upward trend under the volatile pattern.
Therefore, in terms of operation, it is recommended to look for short opportunities below the previous high of 3707 today, especially above 3685, where short orders can be arranged in batches, positions can be strictly controlled, and stop-loss space can be enlarged to cope with fluctuations. The short-term target will first look at the 3670-3660 area. If it breaks down strongly, it will further look down to the 3650-3635 area.
Gold Pulls Back After Hitting $3726.5 High📌 Market Overview

Perfectly grasp the golden trading opportunity?Gold touched the pressure level near 3660-3370 several times during the day and then fell under pressure, which perfectly verified our strategic prediction. The continuous short selling at high levels has reaped great rewards. The current trend relies on the pressure of the 4-hour middle track. The short-term trend is still dominated by a volatile downward trend. The pressure focuses on the 3675-3685 area, and the support below focuses on the 3645-3630 area. From the technical structure, the middle track of the Bollinger band is obviously suppressing. If the rebound cannot break through the middle track pressure, the bears will still dominate the short-term rhythm. In terms of operation, it is recommended to maintain range thinking, enter and exit quickly at high altitudes and low prices, focus on grasping the rhythm, and lock in profits. Steady trading comes from early layout and strict execution. Patiently wait for signals from key positions and then enter the market decisively to seize profit opportunities in the volatile market!
Gold rebound encountered resistance, bears may exert force againGold continued its decline yesterday, extending the previous day's downward trend. It hit a low near 3633 before rebounding, peaking at 3672 before falling under pressure again. The US market quickly dipped to around 3627, another sign of bearishness. After breaking through the high, the upward move did not continue, but instead continued to rebound during the day, leaving room for short-term market volatility. Strong upward pressure currently persists around 3670, which also served as a barrier to yesterday's high. While prices have rebounded, the probability of reaching this level is low. A successful breakout could signal the end of the bearish correction. Yesterday, after initially reaching around 3660, the price quickly retreated. While the decline was limited, it provided a clear technical warning. Key support remains at 3620. If this fails, a direct drop below 3600, or even to around 3580, is possible. On the whole, the daily line is still biased towards a bearish retracement pattern. It is recommended to wait patiently for a pullback. If gold pulls back to the 3660-3670 area first, continue to arrange short orders on rallies, with the target first looking at the 3645-3630 area.
Don’t hesitate when gold rebounds, just go short!Gold fluctuated repeatedly in the range yesterday, and the trend was completely in line with our trading idea of selling high and buying low. The long and short two-way layout was stable and profits were achieved. The daily line closed with a negative line and a long upper shadow, indicating that the high-level adjustment pattern is still continuing, but the technical indicators have not formed a death cross, and the overall bullish trend is still dominant. The short-term level continues to maintain a volatile and bearish idea. The rebound of the middle track of the Bollinger band in the 4H cycle was blocked and fell back. At the same time, the 1H secondary high was suppressed, and the upper pressure was still significant. Today's operation focus is based on the middle track pressure to see a volatile downward trend. Pay attention to the 3660-3675 area on the top. If this range is broken, the short-term may extend to test the 3685 line; pay attention to the 3625-3610 range on the bottom. Once it stabilizes, it is still a good opportunity to buy on the low. If it holds this position, the bullish pattern remains unchanged. If it is lost, we must be alert to the risk of a deep correction. The current volatile market continues to release room for selling high and buying low. Planned trading is the key to avoiding emotional chasing of gains and losses.
How to operate the layout and don’t miss the golden opportunity!News: As expected, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday and hinted at two more cuts this year, pushing gold to a record high above $3,700. The dollar's rebound from multi-year lows and rising Treasury yields have put some pressure on gold prices. The latest dot plot suggests another 50 basis point rate cut before the end of the year, but Powell expressed caution about the pace of rate cuts. The long-awaited moment has finally arrived. Despite persistently high inflation, the Fed has clearly shifted its policy focus to achieving full employment. The median forecast for the next two years indicates that the Fed plans to cut interest rates by 25 basis points each year. The forecast range for the end-2026 interest rate is 2.6% to 3.9%. Policymakers expect the unemployment rate to reach 4.5% in December this year and fall to 4.4% by the end of 2026. The market will then focus on Thursday's economic data, including US initial jobless claims and the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index, as well as policy moves from the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan, which may cause short-term fluctuations in gold prices.
Gold Trend Analysis: Gold's bullish trend remains intact, and the overall outlook remains bullish, but there is still a risk of medium-term correction. Therefore, when trading, consider waiting for a pullback to go long. After the ups and downs of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week, gold has twice tested the 3707 high, only to experience significant pullbacks after both attempts. In particular, after the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, market buying sentiment subsided, and gold fell to a low of 3645. Therefore, it is unlikely that gold will continue to rise in the short term, or even break new highs. Therefore, gold is likely to experience a period of volatile correction in the near term, and there is no need to overestimate the market after the interest rate decision.
From a technical perspective, the daily chart closed at a high level, but failed to break through the unilateral moving average support. Therefore, it is unclear whether gold will reverse its trend. At most, it is showing signs of weakening, forming a high-level consolidation. The key support level below is 3620. A break below 3620 and a series of daily declines, breaking through the unilateral moving average, would indicate potential for a significant decline. The H4 Bollinger Bands are currently converging, with the moving averages converging, indicating a very clear volatile trend. The support point between the lower Bollinger Band and the 60-day moving average is near 3635. Unless this level is broken, it will be difficult to pull the lower Bollinger Band apart, leading to a unilateral decline. Gold surged and then retreated, reaching a low near 3645. Therefore, support points below are very clear, with 3635 and 3620 as key support points. Assuming the overall trend remains unchanged, the principle of buying on dips to key support points is bullish. Focus on 3675, 3690, and 3710 above. Thursday and Friday are likely to see continued high-level fluctuations in the bullish trend.
Gold struggles within 3630–3675 range, awaiting breakout📊 Market developments
• Yesterday, gold rebounded from 3633 to test the resistance zone at 3675 but failed, then dropped sharply to a low of 3627.
• This morning, gold recovered from that low and is now trading around 3658–3660, showing that short-term buying pressure has re-emerged.
• A stronger USD and slightly higher U.S. bond yields after the Fed meeting continue to weigh on gold, while expectations of further Fed rate cuts in the coming months prevent deeper declines.
🧭 Technical analysis
• Near resistance: 3670–3675 (key short-term barrier, repeatedly rejected).
• Major resistance: 3700 (psychological level; only a breakout would confirm a new bullish leg).
• Near support: 3630 (yesterday’s low).
• Major support: 3600–3610.
• RSI on H1/H4 has rebounded from oversold levels, signaling potential for further recovery, though momentum remains weak.
📌 Outlook
• In the short term, gold is expected to consolidate within the 3630–3675 range.
• A breakout above 3675 could open the way toward 3700.
• Failure to break 3675 would likely send prices back to retest 3630, or even lower toward 3600.
🎯 Trading strategy
• Short-term SELL: around 3670–3675, SL above 3678, TP at 3640–3630.
• Speculative BUY: around 3630–3635, SL below 3627, TP at 3665–3675.
Gold fluctuations are under your control!After the gold interest rate decision, it went as we expected. Shorting near 3672, it first fell, and then going long near 3630 was bullish. The profit from this round trip was quite large.
First of all, looking at the current overall background, although the Fed has implemented an interest rate cut, the message it conveys is far from purely dovish. Powell's speech suggested that this action is not the beginning of a radical easing policy, but a prudent move to deal with economic uncertainty, especially the weakening labor market and stubborn inflation. According to data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday, the number of first-time applications for unemployment benefits in the United States in the week ending September 13 was 231,000, which was expected to be 240,000 and the previous value was 263,000. The data fell sharply from the abnormally high level of the previous week and returned to the normal range in the past four years.
From the perspective of gold technology, the 3670-3685 area can be regarded as the second top of the medium term. The bearish trend is established in the medium term first, and adjustments are made in conjunction with the overall short-term operation, with the main short position and the auxiliary long position. This rebound is regarded as a 4-hour adjustment to accumulate momentum and break through to open up more space. A weak closing can continue to be weak based on low consolidation. Missing the good position near 3670 does not mean that there is no position to participate in shorting. You can give yourself 1-2 times of tolerance in the face of the trend. As long as the direction is grasped, the final result will be profitable. This is very important.
ANFIBO | XAUUSD - What's the next plan today?Hello guys! It's me, Anfibo.
My previous OANDA:XAUUSD plan with the Sell entry at 3,670 – 3,674 delivered more than 400 pips in profit, confirming that the market reacted exactly as anticipated.
At present, observing the price structure, gold has completed a 5-wave Elliott impulse and is now transitioning into an ABC corrective phase. This is a classic scenario following a strong impulsive leg, where the market needs to rebalance before determining the next trend.
At the same time, the current price zone is also showing signs of forming a Head and Shoulders pattern, adding another layer of reliable technical confluence. This suggests that downside pressure remains in play, at least until the pattern is fully developed.
Key short-term resistance levels to watch are around 3,690 – 3,700 (maybe we will get a sell signal here)
Meanwhile, immediate support levels can be found near 3,630 – 3,620 – 3,615, with a deeper support at 3,590, which will be decisive for the longer-term bullish structure.
The preferred strategy is to wait for price reactions at these resistance confluence zones to look for short-term Sell signals, in line with the ongoing ABC correction.

Gold rebounds, bears should not miss this opportunity!Did gold fall as we expected? Congratulations to those who have been paying attention. We have been emphasizing from the weekend, last weekend, until yesterday that the top of gold is just above the 3700 mark, and the extreme position is in the 3720-30 area. When the Fed cuts interest rates, gold will fall. We have been saying this over and over again. I don’t know if you have listened to us.
Gold, the release of yesterday's interest rate decision also made the market experience a shock. The large fluctuations back and forth without a bottom line also made the market abuse the bulls and bears wantonly. The trend was also quite magical, making the market defenseless and not giving the slightest chance. After a small rebound near 3694 when the news was announced, it began to dive rapidly, reaching the lowest point near 3652, and then quickly rose again to near 3707, and then continued to fall rapidly, reaching the lowest point near 3645. After the opening, it rebounded again at 3672 and continued to fall. The current lowest point was near 3634. A series of large-scale back and forth sweeps also made the market more fearful, and the daily line also closed in the form of a large negative line. The market is in a state of decline, directly breaking the support of the short-term moving average. It is currently hovering between the 5-day and 10-day moving averages. Therefore, due to the closing of yesterday's large negative line, it is relatively likely to start a pullback and repair again in the short term, and the effective support below is maintained at around 3630-3620. This area is also the key tactical defense we mentioned earlier. Once this position continues to be lost, the long and short positions may be reversed in the later period. The key pressure above is maintained at around 3675-3690. You can refer to this position to continue to short and wait. If gold rebounds to around 3675-3690 during the day, short it, and the target is around 3630-20.
Overestimate and undervalue, opportunities abound!The range operation ideas we shared have been verified to be correct again. We have perfectly grasped the market rhythm by going short first and then long. Congratulations to friends who are paying attention. After the US market, gold fell to the key support area of 3630-3620 and then rebounded quickly. At present, we continue to focus on the short pressure position of 3670-3690. This position is not only the pressure near the 5-day line, but also the upper pressure area of the hourly chart moving average band. In the short term, it may become the core area of the bull-bear game.
Although the interest rate cut has been implemented, the market focus has shifted to whether the pace and magnitude of future rate cuts will increase. The marginal benefits to bulls are weakening. Therefore, the short-term recommendation is still to sell high and buy low in the range, and not to chase highs and sell lows. If your recent operations are not ideal, or you want to make your investment more stable, you are welcome to communicate with me at any time, and I will help optimize the strategy.
From the 4-hour level, 3630-3620 is still the key defensive support level. If it falls below this area, the bullish and bearish pattern in the future market may change; and 3670-3690 is still a strong pressure. Strategically, we will continue to use this range as the core for long and short layout. In the middle position, we should watch more and do less, and wait patiently for the key points before entering the market to avoid unnecessary risks brought by frequent chasing orders.
Gold operation strategy: When it falls back to the 3630-3620 area, lightly arrange long orders, and first target 3660-3670. When it touches the upper pressure, you can gradually reduce the position and take profit to provide protection.
Gold Volatile After Fed, Rebounds to 3670📊 Market Developments:
• After the Fed’s 25 bps rate cut, gold surged sharply and hit a new all-time high at 3707.
• Strong profit-taking and a temporary USD rebound then dragged gold down to 3633 in the Asian session this morning.
• Currently, gold has rebounded to around 3670, showing buying demand returning after the sharp pullback.
📉 Technical Analysis:
• Key Resistance: $3700 – $3707 (new peak).
• Nearest Support: $3630 – $3635 (successfully tested this morning).
• EMA09 (H1): Price just bounced back above the short-term EMA, indicating a short-term recovery trend.
• Candlestick / Momentum: H1 candles printed a long lower wick around 3633 → signal of bottom-fishing demand. Momentum is recovering but resistance at 3700 remains tough, suggesting further choppiness ahead.
📌 Outlook:
Gold is in a highly volatile state following the Fed decision. Holding above 3660–3670 could trigger another test of the 3700–3707 resistance area. Conversely, a break below 3660 may drag gold back to retest 3630.

• EMA50 (H1): price is moving sideways around this level, indicating consolidation.
• Recent H1 candles show long upper wicks, reflecting selling pressure near $3,675.
• Trading volume has declined after the spike, suggesting the market is waiting for a new catalyst.
🧐 Outlook
• In the short term, gold is likely to consolidate – retrace within the $3,645–$3,675 range.
• The broader trend remains bullish, but a clear breakout above $3,675 on H1/H4 closes is needed to confirm further upside.
• A break below $3,630 would increase the risk of a deeper move toward $3,600.

Money, Time and Emotions – The Trio before Balance in Trading
Gurus love to tell traders: “You just need to find your balance.”
But to be honest, balance doesn’t exist when Gold just ripped through your stop loss for the second time today, and you do a sneak charts check on your phone while pretending to work.
For sure, you are not calm or zen.
At least in the first 2 years... more like frustrated, scattered, and asking yourself if this whole thing is even worth it.
But you’re not broken.
Just carrying the wrong kind of weight, and it usually shows up in three ways combined.
⏳ The Time Pressure
Trading doesn’t fail because you cannot read the charts when you put a bit of an effort into it.
But your life is already so full. Work, family, bills, endless noise, and you’re trying to squeeze trading into the cracks for the sake of a better financial outcome.
So you start chasing candles and force trades into the tiny windows you’ve got. Plus stare at the screen longer, hoping focus & hidden entries will magically appear.
But Gold does not bend to your schedule. And that mismatch wrecks your decisions.
🔑Shift: Don’t out-stare the chart. Get rid of some stress levels by: Set alerts near the key reaction zones. Create focus slots. Let price knock on your door by doing homework in advance.
💰 The Money Illusion
Every trader has tried it: opening a tiny 200 USD account and hoping it’ll explode into freedom.
But pressure makes that account heavier than it really is.
Instead of freedom, you get fear. So your clarity goes away.
And suddenly every single candle feels like it’s deciding your future. So in the end, that little account gets blown several times.
🔑Shift: Lower the stakes. Trade smaller than you think you should. ALWAYS. Track everything, especially your state of mind, keep a journal, and do not be ashamed to put down some thoughts. The game isn’t about miracles, but making repetition boringly consistent like gym reps.
🐺 The Lone Wolf Spiral
The hardest part isn’t the losses but the silence that surrounds when you choose trading.
When you do it alone, every mistake feels like proof that you are bad at this in the beginning. Every win feels like dumb luck, or it blinds you further more. There’s no feedback loop, no outside voice to ground you.
And that silence eats at you until you are second-guessing everything you do.
🔑Shift: Find real traders to connect with. Not 15 channels and 10 Discords, they will eat your time alive. Not fake hype. Actual humans who talk about process, not just profits. The right community cuts through the spiral faster than any indicator ever will. One group that gives you a direction and you can learn from, or gives you the secrets to the ropes ‘til you catch them.
🧭 And The Good News Is...
Stress doesn’t mean you’re doomed.
It just means the game is heavy in the wrong places: your time, your money, your isolation.
And all three are fixable in time with patience and the right support.
Balance isn’t about meditating after a loss, even though that can be good too:)
