Powell’s Jackson Hole speech: Key risks for SPX, DXY, and goldTraders are watching and waiting for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
The baseline expectation is that Powell will avoid committing to any move at the September meeting. Instead, he is likely to repeat that decisions will depend on the full set of economic data released between now and then.
If Powell were to even weakly signal a rate cut in September, the S&P 500 could rally. However, the reaction may be limited since markets are already pricing in a high probability of easing. According to CME’s FedWatch tool, traders see a 71% chance of a quarter-point cut in September.
Looking beyond September, a hint of rate cuts in October, November, or December could weaken the U.S. dollar and provide support for gold.
GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Quick follow up update on our 1H chart idea:
After completing both our Bullish target at 3352 and Bearish target at 3327, we saw a lock below 3327 which opened the swing range down towards 3304. Price did drop, but not the full test of 3304 before turning back up.
From there, we got the break back above 3327 and another retest of 3352. As expected, price rejected perfectly from 3352, came back down to 3327, and once again gave us a bounce. Now price is heading back up towards 3352.
At the moment, price is clearly rangebound between 3327 and 3352. To confirm the next breakout move, we will need to see the EMA5 cross and lock above or below either of these levels.
We also need to keep in mind the swing range gap left open yesterday in the 3304 region, which remains a possible target before higher moves continue.
So while we continue to buy dips, we must stay mindful that open swing ranges can extend moves further in either direction. Our updated levels and weighted levels allow us to track moves down and then catch the bounces up, as we’ve been doing.
We will continue to buy dips from our support levels, targeting 20 to 40 pips per bounce. As stated before, every level structure we share gives that range consistently, and the swing ranges give even bigger moves than the weighted levels.

XAUUSD: Channel Ride to the Top or Fakeout Incoming?Gold is moving inside an uptrend channel, building momentum after bouncing from support. Right now, price is testing the key zone 3344 – 3348 – this is where the market will decide its next move.
📊 MMFLOW Outlook
✅ Scenario 1: Trend continuation (main bias)
Holding above 3344 – 3348 keeps the bullish structure intact.
A clean breakout over 3348.7 opens the path to:
→ Target 1: 3361.2
→ Target 2: 3369.8 (top of the channel)
⚠️ Scenario 2: Deeper retest before the move
If price rejects 3348 – 3351, a dip back to 3334 is likely.
Buyers may step in here to reload positions and push price higher.
A break below 3334 would weaken the bullish setup short-term.
📌 Key Levels (NY Session):
Support: 3334 | 3344 – 3348
Resistance: 3361.2 | 3369.8
✨ MMFLOW Note:
👉 Bias stays bullish, but patience at liquidity zones is key.
👉 Follow the flow – manage risk before the market makes the move.
GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Quick follow up update on our 1H chart idea:
After completing both our Bullish target at 3352 and Bearish target at 3327, we now have a lock below 3327 which opened the swing range down towards 3304. We did get the drop, but not the full test of 3304 before price turned back up.
Right now, we are seeing a break back above 3327 and heading towards a retest of 3352 once again. This is in line with our ongoing plan to buy dips, but we must also keep in mind that the swing range remains open. This means any swings can still clear the gap left in that 3304 region before moving higher.
So, while we continue to buy dips, we need to be mindful that open swing ranges can extend moves in either direction.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Another great day on the charts with our chart idea playing out like we analysed.
After hitting our Bullish target at 3352 yesterday we stated that we had no ema5 cross and lock confirming the rejection and that we are now seeing price head towards the bearish target at 3327.
Bearish target has now copmpleted at 3327 just like we said. We will now look for ema5 lock below to open the swing range or failure to lock will see price test the upper Goldturns again.
We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit.

Gold in Tight Range | Waiting for the Big BreakOut After FOMC!Gold is currently consolidating within a narrow range, building momentum for a potential major BreakOut.
After Monday’s liquidity sweep, price has been moving strongly between 332x – 335x, but on the H1 timeframe it still remains locked in a descending channel.
Last week’s CPI & PPI data failed to set a clear direction, which is why this week’s focus will shift to the FOMC meeting. This is expected to deliver the decisive signal for gold’s next big move.
⏳ Early–Mid Week: With fewer major events, gold is likely to continue sideways within the narrow range or remain under mild selling pressure until the FOMC release.
🔑 Key Market Levels
Resistance: 3357 – 3369 – 3383 – 3398
Support: 3335 – 3317 – 3309
📌 Trading Setup
✅ BUY Zone: 3334 – 3332
SL: 3328
TP: 3338 – 3342 – 3346 – 3350 – 3355 – 3360 – 3370 – 3380
👉 A breakout above 336x could trigger a strong rally towards 3383 – 3398.
✅ SELL Zone: 3383 – 3385
SL: 3390
TP: 3378 – 3374 – 3370 – 3360 – 3350
👉 If gold fails at high resistance and reverses, it could sweep liquidity back to 333x – 331x, and potentially deeper towards 329x.
⚠️ Summary
Gold is at a critical decision point: BreakOut or BreakDown.
Before FOMC: expect sideways / mild downside inside H1 channel.
After FOMC: anticipate a strong Pump or Dump that will set the next trend.
🔥 Watch key levels 333x – 336x – 338x closely for market reactions and adjust strategy accordingly.

THE KOG REPORT THE KOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report we said we would be looking for the red box defence and potential target to hold us down and then expect a move downside unless broken. This move played well and as you can see the red box defence downside was broken, ultimately leading to us completing the move we wanted into the target level completing all the targets below before then getting that bounce from the exact level giving us the long trade.
It was only in the latter part of the week we experienced more choppy price action but red boxes worked well as did the path we had plotted out over the week.
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
For this week we’re going to keep it short as we would like to put together further analysis and plans for the upcoming Jackson Hole symposium like we have been sharing over the last few years.
So we will start with the higher level 3350-55 which is the order region and has a hotspot. We have the lower level 3320-23 which is key level support for the opening, a tap into this level with rejection can give us the move upside into that 3350-55 level which is the level that needs to hold us down. There is an extension to this move and it’s towards that 3365 level so we have to keep that in mind.
If we break below the defence box, it’s very likely that we will be visiting the 3310-6 level initially while there sits a potential target level at the 3300-3295 level. We’re expecting a range here of 3380 and 3290 as potential for the first part of the week.
We’ll release the Jackson hold analysis and trade ideas towards the middle of the week. For now, that’s all.
KOG’s Bias of the week:
Bearish below 3355 with targets below 3330, 3320, 3317, 3310, 3306 and below that 3295
Bullish on break of 3360 with targets above 3365, 3371, 3375, 3385 and above that 3392
KOGS RED BOX TARGETS:
Break above 3337 for 3340, 3346, 3350, 3355 and 3363 in extension of the move
Break below 3317 for 3310, 3306 and 3301 in extension of the move

GOLD DAILY CHART ROUTE MAPDaily Chart Update
Range Still in Control: Same Boundaries, Same Play
Not much has changed since last week. Price continues to rotate within the 3272–3433 range, respecting the structure with precision. The week’s action stayed contained inside this 170+ pip zone, reinforcing the dominance of the range.
As we head into the new week, the outlook remains the same: watching 3433 as upside resistance, while 3272 continues to anchor support. Until one side breaks and holds, range trading strategies remain the focus.
Current Outlook
🔹 Range Still Active
Price is firmly contained between 3272 and 3433. A decisive break outside this box is still required for a trend shift.
🔹 Same Rejections
The market has yet to sustain above 3433. Resistance stands firm.
🔹 Support Holding
As long as 3272 holds, bias stays neutral-to-bullish within the range, with eyes on another potential 3433 retest.
Updated Key Levels
📉 Support – 3272
Still the key pivot and buy zone unless a confirmed breakdown occurs.
📈 Resistance – 3433
Unchanged as the main ceiling. A break and hold above would shift dynamics, but until then, sellers remain in control at this level.
Thanks as always for your support,

GOLD WEEKLY CHART MID/LONG TERM ROUTE MAPHey Everyone,
Please see our weekly chart update.
3387 Rejected, 3482 Gap Still Open
Following up on last week’s close above 3387, price has since shown rejection at that same level, leaving the 3482 gap still unfilled from the previous candle body. This pullback now highlights the 3281 gap below as support, keeping the broader structure intact but tempering the immediate upside momentum.
We’re watching for a potential re-challenge of 3387 before the path toward 3482 can resume. Until then, the market remains range-bound within these structural pivots.
Current Outlook
🔹 3387 Rejection
Despite previous week’s close above, price could not sustain higher, confirming 3387 as a tough barrier in the short term.
🔹 3281 as Key Support
The gap below sits at 3281, which remains the anchor pivot. As long as it holds, buyers have the chance to reload.
🔹 3482 Still Open
The unfilled gap to 3482 remains the long-term upside target. A re-test and hold above 3387 is needed before momentum can extend toward that objective.
Updated Levels to Watch
📉 Support – 3281
Critical base. A breakdown here would shift structure bearish.
📈 Resistance – 3387
Now the immediate barrier. Expect this to be re-challenged before further upside can develop.
📈 Upside Gap Target – 3482
Still open from previous structure. Comes into play only if 3387 can be cleared decisively.
Plan:
Price is consolidating between 3281 and 3387, with 3482 waiting above. Until 3387 is reclaimed on a closing basis, range trading remains the play. A clean break above flips bias bullish toward 3482, while failure at 3281 risks a deeper rotation.
Thanks as always for your support,

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Great finish to the week with our chart idea playing out as analyzed. In yesterday’s update, we stated that the 3329 full gap remained open and that we had another cross-and-lock confirming this.
That gap has now been completed perfectly and also gave the reaction and bounce in line with our plan to buy dips. As long as this level holds, we should continue to see bounces. A cross-and-lock below this level, however, will open up the swing range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
We are still seeing price action within the retracement range. The full gap below at 3329 remains open from the previous cross-and-lock, and we now have another cross-and-lock confirming this.
We expect a bounce at this level unless we see a further cross-and-lock below 3329, which would open the swing range. Until then, we also expect this level to provide a reaction.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit.

How to Do Structure Mapping with Multiple Time Frames Analysis
If you think that structure mapping is not efficient for profitable trading, you get it wrong .
What newbies traders always miss is that structure mapping works effectively only with multiple time frame analysis.
In this article, I will show you how you can build profitable trading plans and accurate predictions on forex market with structure mapping alone.
Learn top-down analysis secrets and how to map structure properly in Smart Money Concepts SMC ICT.
In order to effectively use structure mapping for scalping, day trading and swing trading , always start it from higher time frames.
Examine my complete structure mapping on USDJPY forex pair on a daily time frame.
You can see that first, the pair was trading in a strong bearish trend.
Then, we had a confirmed bullish reversal with Change of Character.
After that, the market started an extended consolidating movement, not being able to update the highs.
And finally, the last bullish wave managed to update a high , confirming a completion of a consolidation and a resumption of a bullish trend.
Structure mapping reveals that USDJPY is now bullish on a daily and the last bearish movement is a correction in uptrend.
We can expect a start of a new bullish wave soon.
To understand when exactly it is going to happen, you will need to dive your analysis deeper .
You should start structure mapping on lower time frames.
And you should execute a price action analysis there in relation to your structure mapping on a higher time frame.
4H time frame structure mapping will reveal a price action within the last bearish move that we spotted on a daily.
We see that the market is trading in a bearish trend and the price started a local correctional movement after a formation of the last low.
4h time frame structure mapping provided a detailed intra week perspective.
Hourly time frame analysis, we reveal hidden intraday trends that will unveil more insights.
And why are we doing all that?
Remember that big waves always start from minor reversals.
The earlier you are able to find strong confirmations, the earlier you will open a trading position and the more profits you will make.
On an hourly time frame, our structure mapping shows that the market is already bullish. A bearish trend that USDJPY followed is already violated, and the price is updating the highs.
Following our analysis, the only thing that we need to confirm a start of a bullish trend is a confirmed trend reversal and a change of character on a 4H time frame.
It will validate an intra week bullish trend.
We will need the price to break the underlined blue resistance based on the last lower high in a bearish trend.
That will provide an accurate signal for us to buy.
And we can anticipate a rise a least to a current daily higher high then.
When you do structure mapping on forex market, never forget to do that on multiple time frames. Multiple perspectives and short-term/mid-term/long-term projections will help you to build a more efficient trading plan.
Remember that you can expand your structure mapping even for minute time frames. It will provide a unique perspective for scalping forex.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey everyone,
Following up on yesterday’s update for our 1H chart route map:
The key retracement range continued to provide support, and we saw the reactionary bounce we expected.
Right now, we’re range-bound between 3329 and 3354.
As long as 3329 holds, we can expect continued bounces, tracking the movement upward.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

Has Gold finally topped?Since December 2024, gold has held above a key diagonal support line (see chart).
On 25 July 2025, price broke below a medium-term diagonal support — and recent action looks more like a break-and-retest than a full recovery.
The Chaikin Money Flow is also showing negative divergence, suggesting buying pressure is weakening even as price tried to push higher. That’s often a warning sign for potential trend reversals.
Could this be the start of a deeper move down, or just a pause before new highs?
What’s your take — has gold topped?
