Gold Spot (XAU/USD) – Bullish Double Bottom BreakoutHello guys!
Yesterday we got our profit from gold!
It is a new one:
Gold has formed a clear double bottom on the 1H timeframe, accompanied by a bullish divergence—a classic signal of potential reversal. Following the breakout above neckline resistance, the price is currently in a retest phase, revisiting the breakout zone (now turned support).
🔹 Pattern: Double Bottom
🔹 Signal: Bullish Divergence
🔹 Breakout: Confirmed
🔹 Support Zone: ~$3,300–$3,305
🔹 Target: ~$3,375–$3,385
The bullish scenario remains valid as long as the price holds above the support area. A failure to hold may invalidate the setup and lead to further consolidation or decline.
📌 Watch for bullish price action near the retest zone for potential entries.

The Gold-Silver Ratio ExplainedCOMEX: Micro Gold Futures ( COMEX_MINI:MGC1! ), Micro Silver Futures ( COMEX_MINI:SIL1! )
The Gold-Silver Ratio is a financial term that measures the relative value of gold to silver. Specifically, how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold.
The Gold-Silver Ratio is an important tool for traders and investors. It has been used to indicate the market sentiment towards these two precious metals. A high ratio suggests that gold is more valued than silver, often seen during economic turmoil or when investors seek safe-haven assets. On the contrary, a lower ratio implies that silver is gaining value relative to gold, which normally occurs during periods of economic growth and strong industrial demand.
The ratio fluctuates over time due to supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and changes in the global economy. By analyzing the ratio, traders can make informed decisions about when to buy or sell. This ratio reflects not only the market’s valuation of these metals but also an instrument for profit-making in the commodities market.
Historical Gold to Silver Ratio
Since 2000, the Gold-Silver Ratio has seen considerable fluctuations, reflecting various economic and market conditions. In the first decade of the 21st century, the ratio hovered around 65:1, meaning it took 65 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold.
However, the ratio has spiked during times of economic uncertainty. For example, during the financial crisis of 2008, the ratio reached highs not seen in decades. More recently, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic turmoil, the ratio surged, at one point exceeding 110:1 in 2020, indicating a strong preference for gold as a safe-haven asset compared to silver.
Over time, the Gold-Silver Ratio has been trending up, meaning gold has gained value at a faster pace compared to silver.
As of last Friday, gold is trading around all-time high at $3,330, while silver is quoted at $33.0. This makes the Gold-Silver Ratio almost exactly at 100.
When to Buy and Sell based on the Gold-Silver Ratio?
The decision to buy or sell the ratio hinges on interpreting its current value in the context of historical trends and market conditions.
When to Buy Silver: A high Gold-Silver Ratio, typically at or above the 90:1 mark, suggests that silver is undervalued relative to gold. This is often interpreted as a buying signal for silver. In such scenarios, silver is cheaper than gold, and investors may see it as an opportunity to purchase silver at a relatively low price. The rationale is that if the ratio decreases, the relative value of silver will increase compared to gold, potentially leading to significant gains.
When to Sell Silver/Buy Gold: Conversely, when the Gold-Silver Ratio is low, say around 50:1, it indicates that silver is relatively expensive, or gold is undervalued. In such situations, investors might consider selling silver and buying gold. The expectation is that the ratio will normalize or increase, meaning that gold’s value could rise relative to silver, offering a favorable return on the gold investment.
The Gold-Silver Ratio can be a valuable indicator of when to buy or sell gold and silver. However, since the ratio is not stable but upward trending over time, we could not use a mean-reversion strategy. The price band for normal, high and low ranges should be updated regularly.
Trade Setup with Micro Gold and Silver
Traders could deploy the Gold-Silver Ratio trading strategy using COMEX Micro Gold Futures ( AMEX:MGC ) and Micro Silver Futures ( AMEX:SIL ). The big advantages of using futures contracts are capital efficiency and leverage.
MGC contracts have a notional value of 10 troy ounces of gold. With Friday settlement price of $3,330.7, each June contract (MGCM5) has a notional value of $33,307. Buying or selling one contract requires an initial margin of $1,500 at the time of writing.
By putting a deposit equivalent to less than 0.5 ounce, traders could gain the full exposure to 10 ounces of gold. If gold prices move up by 5%, a long futures position would double in value (= (33307*0.05) / 1500 = 111%). This futures contract has a built-in leverage of 22:1.
Conversely, Micro Silver (SIL) contracts have a notional value of 1,000 troy ounces of silver. With Friday settlement price of $33.02, each June contract (SILM5) has a notional value of $33,020. Buying or selling one contract requires an initial margin of $3,000 at the time of writing.
By putting a deposit equivalent to 91 ounces, traders could gain the full exposure of 1,000 ounces of silver. If silver prices move up by 5%, a long position in Micro Silver futures would gain 55% (= (33020*0.05) / 3000). This futures contract has a built-in leverage of 11:1.
Micro gold futures (MGC, 10 oz) contracts tap into the deep liquidity of standard-size gold futures contracts (GC, 100 oz). As of last Friday, GC has an open interest (OI) of 447,356 contracts, while the OI for MGC is 44,449, according to data from CME Group.
The OI for standard Silver Futures (SI, 5000 oz) and Micro Silver Futures (SIL, 1000 oz) are 154,276 and 12,345, respectively.
Happy Trading.

No Guessing. No Praying. Just Precision – GoldMindsFX Flow 🔥✨
🧠 Macro & Market Context:
Gold continues to range between 3380–3260, with no clean breakout yet. Price action since yesterday has remained reactive and indecisive — still trapped inside the larger structure.
Today’s USD Events (High Impact):
🗣️ Trump Speech
🟦 ADP Non-Farm Employment
🟧 Advance GDP q/q
🟨 Employment Cost Index
🟧 Core PCE + Pending Home Sales
Expect volatility — especially NY session. Liquidity spikes likely.
🧭 Market Bias:
HTF Bias (Daily, H4): Still bullish overall as long as 3230–3240 is respected.
LTF Flow (M15–H1): Consolidation with small bullish attempts — structure still undecided.
📌 Key Structural Zones (Sniper Focus):
🔺 Sell Zones (Premium Supply)
3372–3376 → Trap Sell OB (M15–H1)
→ Price was previously rejected hard from here
3380–3390 → High-Volume Liquidity Pool
→ Major decision zone if price extends upside
🟩 Buy Zones (Discount Demand)
3284–3288 → Clean H1 Demand Reaction + Internal Liquidity
→ This zone triggered a 500+ pip rally this week
3233–3237 → Deep HTF OB + Untapped Liquidity
→ Must-hold level for HTF bullish bias to remain intact
👀 Eyes On Today:
3317–3325 → Micro structure to monitor. If bulls hold above this area, we may retest 3350–3372.
3284 → First bounce zone for reentry if NY dips.
Rejection below 3280 = eyes on 3233–3237.

It’s a news-driven day. Your job isn’t to predict — it’s to wait, react, and strike with logic.
Snipers don’t rush. We let liquidity come to us.

Gold (XAUUSD) Take Profit📉 Gold (XAUUSD) Trade Update
A few hours ago, I shared a short setup on gold — it has successfully hit the target and closed with a solid profit.
Looking ahead, there's still room for further downside. In the medium term, gold could decline towards the $3020 level.

XAUUSD Gold analysis from a medium- to long-term perspectiveHello everyone. Today, we are here to determine the long-term direction of the XAUUSD pair. Regardless of any revisions, even if there are rollbacks in Trump-era policies or unexpected developments that are currently not even on the agenda, the ultimate objective remains unchanged: to strategically counterbalance China. The core target is clearly China, and the strategy is to shift both production and the trade balance in favor of the United States.
The factors driving gold prices upward are still strongly tied to global uncertainties, supported by ongoing diplomatic and geopolitical tensions. In a period where the U.S. dollar's role as the world’s reserve currency is being questioned, gold diversification has accelerated—particularly through central bank purchases.
From a psychological perspective, especially when viewed through the eyes of retail investors, I always emphasize this: when gold reaches historical highs, the underlying momentum seen in technical analysis continues to support a bullish direction. Therefore, I believe the upward trend is likely to persist.
The upward trend is gradually emerging, and the evening layoutFrom a technical perspective, gold prices found solid support in the 3260-3270 range on many occasions during Monday's reversal and rise. Multiple bottom structures have been built in the short term, suggesting that gold's short-term adjustment may be nearing its end. Given that gold prices have already experienced a round of adjustments, the possibility of falling into adjustment again is relatively small. Therefore, as long as gold prices do not fall below the key support level of 3260 in the near future, its upward trend is expected to continue and open up further upside space. As far as the upper target level is concerned, 3337 and 3370 constitute two key dividing lines. If the gold price successfully breaks through 3337, it indicates that the market is in a volatile and strong pattern; if it further overcomes 3370, it will establish an absolutely strong position, and the upper space will be further expanded by then, and you can focus on the 3420-3500 area in the future.
Observing the trend of the daily chart, the gold price formed a triple bottom support near 3260, and the daily line closed with a positive line, indicating a significant bullish trend. As long as the subsequent daily line can continue to close positive, the price of gold will challenge the upper track or previous highs just around the corner. The 4-hour cycle chart shows that after Monday's rise, gold prices have shown a strong trend, but have not yet formed a unilateral rise pattern with the opening of the Bollinger Bands. The current market focus is on the gains and losses of the key point of 3370. If the gold price can successfully break through 3370 on Tuesday, it is expected to usher in an extremely strong unilateral upward trend; on the contrary, if it fails to effectively break through, the market may remain in a wide-range range-bound pattern. Based on the above analysis, intraday trading strategies should focus on callback long opportunities. The lower support level can be focused on the 3300-3310 area, and the upper pressure level should be focused on the 3350-3360 area.
Operation suggestions for golden days
Go long after stepping back on 3300-3310, TP3315-3320, hold if the position is broken
Go short when the top touches 3345-3340, stop loss at 3350, TP 3330-3320
If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

Risk aversion eases, gold continues to fluctuateSpot gold prices (XAU/USD) fluctuated and fell, approaching the $3,300 mark, continuing the weak trend of the previous trading day.
From the daily chart, gold prices have fallen from their historical highs and are currently approaching the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level (US$3,300-3,290). The key support level below is concentrated in the $3,265-3,260 range, which is also the previous consolidation range. If it falls below, it will open up the space for a 50% retracement level (US$3,225) or even $3,200.
In terms of technical indicators, the MACD indicator shows signs of a dead cross, and the green kinetic energy column expands moderately, indicating that short-term bears still have the initiative; the RSI indicator is still oscillating near the 50 axis, and has not yet shown extreme oversold, indicating that the downside space may be limited. Once the price rebounds, the initial resistance above is seen at $3,348-3,353.
After the breakthrough, it is expected to re-challenge the $3,400 mark, and even attack $3,425-3,427.
If the US PCE inflation and non-farm data weaken this week, it will further support the re-entry of gold bulls.
Short selling profit exceeds 940pips, how to plan today?Hey! Bros, have you ever referred to my trading strategy yesterday? Yesterday I reminded my brothers that we are paying attention to the 3315-3305 target area. Now gold has fallen to our TP as scheduled. I manually closed the position near 3313 and locked in the profit in time. This transaction earned over 940 pips.
This is a considerable transaction. If you carefully refer to my trading strategy, you can also achieve the same good gains as me.
Now let’s see how to do the trading! The 3260 line below has failed to fall below in previous consecutive tests and has become a key support level for this round of market. If the gold price fails to effectively fall below 3260, it will inevitably encounter resistance and rebound again. From the market point of view, the daily trend of gold is still very likely to retrace its trend. It is currently an adjustment at the daily level, but the intensity of the adjustment has become relatively weaker! However, there are bound to be variables after the gold rise has been adjusted. Therefore, if the Asian and European lows of 3310-3300 are not broken, we can maintain the high-altitude, low-long trading strategy. Look at 3350-3370 above. If there is resistance and pressure near 3370, we can consider shorting again.
If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

No Guessing. No Praying. Just Precision — Smart Money Moves Only📆 XAUUSD Daily Plan – April 29, 2025
🔥 Macro & Market Context:
Gold continues its tactical chess game between premium supply traps and reactive support zones.
Price is currently hovering around 3342, teasing a breakout or another trap inside the 3340–3355 resistance block.
Tomorrow we also have important USD news: 🔵 CB Consumer Confidence
🔵 JOLTS Job Openings
Expect potential volatility during NY session — stay adaptive, not predictive.
🎯 Bias Overview:
HTF Bias (H4–Daily): Bullish (Higher Highs and Higher Lows structure still intact)
LTF Flow (M15–H1): Corrective bullish retrace inside HTF uptrend
📍 Key Levels to Watch:
🔺 Resistance Zones:
3340–3355 → Minor Premium Resistance (currently being tested)
3372–3376 → Strong Trap Sell Zone (next immediate target above)
3380–3390 → Major Liquidity Pool (big decision area if price pumps further)
🔻 Support Zones:
3284–3288 → Intraday Demand + Bounce Zone
3233–3237 → HTF Major Reversal Demand
🎯 Refined Sniper Zones:
🟩 Buy Zone #1: 3284–3288
(H1 demand cluster + previous clean reaction)

(M15–H1 OB + liquidity trap setup)
🟥 Sell Zone #2: 3380–3390
(Premium supply and major liquidity sweep)
👀 Eyes On:
Reaction at 3372–3390: Weak rejections = tactical sell opportunities.
Respect for 3284–3288: Bullish continuation if defended strongly.
Violation below 3230: HTF momentum shift possible toward deeper discount.
📢 Final Message:
Gold’s setting traps for both bulls and bears — but we’re hunting precision, not chaos. 🏹
Patience = Power.
Confirmation = Survival.

Gold is long, bottoming out during the day and rising
We can never predict what will happen at the crossroads of fate, but we can choose whether to give up or move forward with pain and run towards the end of our dreams. Even if there is no medal of victory, dignity and pride will accompany us all the way. Defeating opponents is only the winner of life; defeating yourself is the strong man of destiny!
After the gold gap opened high, it began to fall back quickly to around 3267. After a small rebound in the European session, it continued to retreat. The US session had a sideways correction before, and the US session started a large-scale pull-up, which continued to around 3353 and closed in the form of a small positive line with a long lower lead. After opening during the day, it continued to fall, and the current lowest reached around 3308. At present, the long and short positions are still fluctuating in a large range. The upper key pressure and the upper edge of the range are maintained at around 3370, while the lower edge and support of the large range below are maintained at around 3260. It is very likely that there will be multiple shocks and choices in this range again. At present, the multi-hour line is expected to form a sideways trend. After finishing, the daily line will fight at the short-term moving average position. The short-term moving average is also between the strength of long and short positions. Today's retracement needs further confirmation from the European session. If the European session continues to be weak, it is still necessary to pull back and short before the US session. The short-term support below is maintained near the integer level of 3300. If gold pulls back to 3310 during the day, it can be long first, with a target of 3330-50 and a loss of 3295. If the European session continues to break down, the US session will pull back below 3300 and short, with a target of 3270-60 and a loss of 3308. There will be large fluctuations in the short term, so be cautious about sweeping back and forth between long and short positions!
Today's operation: Gold will pull back to 3310 during the day and go long, with a target of 3330-50 and a loss of 3295.

XAUUSD Weekly-Daily-H4 Outlook – April 28, 2025"Gold’s Game: Range Trap... or Breakout Incoming?" 👀⚡
🔥 Macro + Micro Context:
Macroflow: No major macro catalysts today — market sentiment driven mostly by technicals, liquidity behavior, and late-week reactions.
Bias:
HTF (D1–W1): Still bullish-biased long-term, unless 3220–3235 breaks cleanly.
LTF (H4–M30): Currently trapped in a wide distribution range 3380–3260, showing signs of both liquidity sweeps and engineered traps.
Liquidity Dynamics:
Both upside and downside liquidity have been targeted multiple times. Equal highs/lows patterns forming, suggesting fakeouts are highly probable before any real move.
📈 STRUCTURAL RANGE:
🔵 Main Range:
• Top: 3380–3395 → major flip zone (premium side)
• Bottom: 3260–3280 → major demand zone (discount side)
📚 Inside the range:
• Liquidity is being farmed on both sides — expect fake spikes, stop hunts, and whipsaw moves before breakout.
🔑 H4 Key Zones (Above Current Price):
Level Type Notes
3380–3395 Major Supply + Flip Zone HTF orderblock + FVG + previous sell trap
3410–3415 Minor Supply Zone M30–H1 imbalance + small FVG
3448–3455 Major Premium Supply HTF OB + FIBO 1.618 extension + historical premium trap
3490–3500 ATH Area Strong psychological level + institutional interest
🔑 H4 Key Zones (Below Current Price):
Level Type Notes
3260–3280 Major Discount Demand Strong H1-H4 unmitigated OB + liquidity grab zone
3220–3235 HTF Reversal Demand Last HTF pivot for bullish bias
📊 Expected Scenarios:
Bullish Path:
Hold 3260–3280 → Break 3380–3395 → Target 3415 → Then 3450–3500 range sweep.
Bearish Path:
Fail at 3380–3395 → Sharp rejections back into 3280 → Potential crash toward 3235 and 3210.
👀 EYES ON:
Watch the 3380–3395 flip zone closely.
If price fails there with heavy wicks and low volume, bulls are trapped again.
If price holds above 3395–3415 cleanly, bulls regain control for 3450+.
🧠 FINAL MESSAGE:
"The best traders don’t predict. They prepare."
"Trap or breakout — it’s all about reaction, not prediction. Stay sharp, stay liquid, and don’t chase the donkey moves."

XAUUSD Market Update – April 28, 2025 NY🎯 Quick Context:
Price successfully defended the support + liquidity pocket zone (around 3272–3288).
A bullish intraday reaction followed, but we are still trapped inside a consolidation range for now.
✅ Valid Zones Remaining from Daily Plan:
Support + Liquidity Pocket (3272–3288): ✅ Still active and valid as strong support.
Minor Resistance Level Inside Range (3350–3360): ✅ Remains relevant for possible rejections.
Major Flip + Resistance Zone (3380–3395): ✅ Still untouched and valid — upper upside target if bullish continuation happens.
⚠️ Zones Weakened or Invalidated:
Micro Support 3310–3315: ⚠️ Structure failed to hold cleanly — now treated as a neutral zone (no strong bias here).
Intraday Pivot 3260–3265: ⚠️ Previously breached — weak support for now, not a major focus.
🔥 Possible Scenarios:
Bullish Scenario 🟢
Holding above 3272–3288 = potential rally toward 3310–3315, then 3350–3360.
Solid break and close above 3360 = bullish continuation potential toward 3380–3395.
Bearish Scenario 🔴
Clear loss of 3272–3288 = risk of a sharper selloff toward lower discount zones (~3220–3240).
🧠 Extra Observations:
Current structure = sideways/consolidation between buyers and sellers.
Short-term momentum (M15–M30) is trying to lean bullish but without a confirmed HH yet.
HTF bias (H1–H4) remains slightly bullish as long as price holds above the 3272–3288 support zone.
📢 Final Note:
🏹 Patience is key. Let price react around the zones — we are ready and disciplined to execute based on real confirmation, not emotions.
✨ Final Friendly Message:
"We’ve already done the heavy lifting by marking the battlefield. 🛡️ Now it’s all about patience, precision, and letting Goldie show its next move. 📈✨

XAUUSD – Daily Trading Plan – April 28, 2025🎯 Market Outlook:
Gold remains trapped in a corrective range between 3260 and 3380, after an aggressive rally to new all-time highs.
Currently, price is consolidating just below a major supply/flip zone (3380–3395) and above a key support pocket (3260–3280).
HTF (High Timeframe) bias: Still bullish as long as the 3220–3235 pivot holds.
LTF (Lower Timeframe) flow: Sideways, with minor bullish attempts inside the range.
🔥 Key Zones to Watch:
Resistance Zones:
3380–3395 → Major flip and strong resistance zone.
3350–3360 → Minor local resistance inside premium.
Support Zones:
3260–3280 → Major intraday support + liquidity pocket.
3220–3235 → Last pivot to maintain bullish HTF bias (critical for any continuation).
👀 Eyes On:
Price reaction inside 3380–3395 → Will it reject again or break through to unlock 3410–3430?
Weakness signs near 3350–3360 → Watch for potential bull traps if momentum fades.
Respect for 3260–3280 → A bounce from here would confirm buyers still protecting liquidity pockets.
HTF invalidation below 3220 → Would flip the entire structure bearish short-term.
📢 Final Words:
Goldie's playing chess, not checkers — patience and sniper precision will make the difference this week. ♟️✨
Stay sharp, stay smart — we trade real flow, not hopes or dreams.
🔔 Follow the flow, adapt the plan, and let's continue hunting clean moves together!

Gold Ideas - XAUUSD Weekly Outlook | April 28, 2025🧠 Quick Outlook:
Gold remains locked in a corrective range after its aggressive rally to new all-time highs.
Price is currently consolidating between major liquidity zones, preparing for its next big move.
However, growing geopolitical risks — including rising Middle East tensions and potential currency interventions out of Japan — could trigger safe-haven flows, especially during Asia session volatility.
While the high timeframe structure remains bullish above the 3220–3235 pivot,
the immediate tactical focus is on the 3340–3365 zone, where key liquidity battles are unfolding.
🔥 Major Zones to Watch:
Resistance 3380–3395 Major supply and flip zone — strong liquidity cluster
Resistance 3350–3360 Minor local resistance — potential bull trap area
Support 3260–3280 Critical intraday support and liquidity pocket
Support 3220–3235 Last pivot standing to maintain bullish structure
⭐Tactical Focus This Week:
🎯 Will Gold reject or conquer the 3380–3395 stronghold?
🎯 Will 3350–3360 act as a stepping stone or a snare for early buyers?
🎯 Are buyers prepared to defend the 3260–3280 liquidity pocket with real force?
🎯 What happens if 3220 collapses?
Patience and sniper discipline will make the difference this week, as Gold approaches critical decision points and major news.

Date Range: April 24–28, 2025
Key Observations:
Support Zones Identified:
Support 1 (~3,340)
Support 2 (~3,355)
Support 3 (~3,366)
These are former resistance zones that price is expected to flip into support.
Price Action:
Price recently broke above a consolidation range (~3,324).
A bullish move is underway — shown by the blue arrows indicating a retracement to Support 1, then a bounce toward higher support levels (Support 2 and Support 3).
Volume Analysis:
Increasing volume during the breakout suggests strength behind the bullish move.
Healthy volume typically supports the continuation of trends.
Projection/Plan:
Scenario 1: Price pulls back slightly to Support 1, holds above it, and then rallies toward Support 2 and Support 3.
Scenario 2: If Support 1 fails, price could retest lower around 3,324 (highlighted in red as a risk zone/stop-loss area).
Risk Management:
A stop-loss is implied just below 3,324 to protect against a failed breakout.
Summary:
This is a bullish setup where the trader is expecting a minor pullback to Support 1 and continuation upward toward higher targets (Support 2 and Support 3). The breakout is supported by volume, and the structure favors buys unless price falls back under 3,324.
3360 neckline is being tested!
📊Comment Analysis
Short-term short positions need to rebound further and confirm the signal before following. After the US market breaks through the 3360 defense point, it is temporarily not possible to continue to be bearish. The US market will first look at the rebound, and then make further arrangements after approaching the 3360 line.
💰Strategy Package
Long positions:
The US market temporarily enters the market to go long when gold falls back to around 3297-3310 US dollars. Target 3340, stop loss 3345.
Gold is trying to break through the upward channelGold started the new week on a bad note, hitting a low of 3260 in the morning, followed by a small shock adjustment; then it began to rise sharply. As of press time, it has risen to around 3350 and tried to break through the upward resistance.
Although some of gold's safe-haven appeal has weakened, its overall forecast and price trend remain optimistic. Until we see clear lower highs, lower lows, and a solid trade agreement rather than more political bragging from the Trump administration, the possibility of gold setting new highs cannot be underestimated.
Surface calm hides potential risks
Although last week's market movements and today's early trading performance show that the market is calming down, any sense of security is fragile. Under the surface, key risks remain: trade tensions, recession concerns, and uncertainty about monetary policy are real. Ongoing trade negotiations remain a key factor. If the United States sticks to its position on tariffs or the negotiations break down, risk aversion may quickly pick up, boosting demand for gold again.
Quaid's analysis:
Based on last week's market situation, Quaid conducted an analysis of gold's trend this week over the weekend. As I predicted, gold is trying to break through and try a new high.
Gold has risen to around 3350, and 3365 is a key resistance level in the upward trend. If the gold price breaks through this position and can maintain horizontal development, it will continue to rise in a stable situation.
From the upside, the initial resistance level is $3365, followed by $3430. If the bullish momentum is restored, it may soon hit the historical high of $3500 again.
On the contrary, if the price fails to break through the 3365 resistance level, Quaid believes that it is necessary to pay attention to the key support at the 3285 position.
