GOLD bounces back, hopes of policy reversalOANDA:XAUUSD reversed dramatically in the trading session on October 14, after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell sent a clear dovish message, indicating that the Fed is ready to continue its rate-cutting cycle despite political uncertainty and the US government shutdown. As of the time of writing, gold quickly recovered to $4,178 per ounce, up 0.89% on the day. The main driver came from expectations that the Fed will cut interest rates by another 0.25% in October, a signal that Powell reinforced in his speech at the National Association for Business Economics Annual Meeting. Powell said the outlook for jobs and inflation “has not changed materially” since the September meeting, when the Fed began easing. But he stressed that risks to the labor market are rising, hiring has slowed, and unemployment could soon rise again after a long period of deep decline. “We are at a point where further deterioration in the labor market could start to show up in the unemployment rate,” Powell said, hinting at the possibility that the Fed may have to act more quickly to protect the expansion. The announcement is seen as a turning point in policy direction, especially after Powell admitted that the Fed is considering ending the process of shrinking its balance sheet, a factor that has tightened global liquidity over the past year. Many organizations such as TD Securities believe that the Fed could announce the end of this program as early as the October meeting, paving the way for a clearly easing monetary environment from November. The reaction in financial markets was immediate: the yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond fell to 4.03%, the DXY index fell 0.25% to 99.00, showing that the Dollar is under new selling pressure. At the same time, safe-haven flows returned to the gold market, reinforcing the rapid recovery of this precious metal. Markets saw Powell’s message as not only reassuring after a period of intense volatility, but also as opening up the possibility that the Fed is preparing for a prolonged easing cycle. Broadly, the Fed is shifting its focus from containing inflation to protecting growth and jobs, a strategic shift. With global growth slowing, geopolitical risks spreading, and US-China trade tensions rising, Powell appears to prioritize maintaining liquidity and financial stability over further tightening. Gold prices have risen more than 57% year-to-date, supported by safe-haven demand, strong central bank buying, and large inflows into gold ETFs. Institutions such as Bank of America and Société Générale are now raising their gold price forecasts to $5,000/ounce by 2026, in a scenario where the Fed ends its tightening cycle and the dollar enters a period of structural weakness. If the Fed confirms its dovish stance at its October meeting, investors expect this could be a turning point in global monetary policy, with gold continuing to serve as a “confident gauge” of Powell’s management ability and the resilience of the US financial system. Technical outlook analysis OANDA:XAUUSD Trend Overview • Main Trend: Strongly bullish, price remains in an ascending channel, a series of long-bodied candles shows that buyers are in control. • Technical Momentum: RSI in overbought zone (>75), momentum is still there but signals a risk of a short-term correction. Important levels on the chart • Near resistance: $4,213 (Fib 0.618). Next extension zone $4,286 – $4,378. • Near support: $4,100 (psychological level), followed by $4,060 and $4,000 (strong support/low MA). Short-term scenario & warnings • Preferred scenario (trend-follow): maintain medium-term bullish view if price holds above 4,000–4,060. • Correction warning: due to overbought RSI, a pullback of $50–$120 may occur to “digest” the momentum before continuing the trend. Macro news (Powell, employment data, geopolitical news) may trigger strong volatility. Risk Management • Smaller order sizes than usual due to high volatility. • Don't chase prices past strong resistance; prioritize buying on signs of a successful retest. The uptrend is still intact; a reasonable strategy is to buy with the trend on corrections or buy breakout confirmations. However, overbought RSI and macro/geopolitical news risks could cause significant pullbacks, so prioritize risk management and tight SL.

XAUAUD has more upside potentialGold prices extended gains amid escalating tariff tensions between the US and China, after China sanctioned shipping and the US President affirmed the commitment to maintaining high tariffs on Chinese goods. Meanwhile, the US government shutdown may introduce additional uncertainty regarding the timeliness of monetary policy in addressing the recently weakening labor market. The postponement of the Non-farm Payrolls (NFP) report raises further concern, as the Fed requires more data to determine its primary focus between the labor market and inflation—its dual mandate—which are currently diverging. Elevated inflation, driven by recent trade policies, requires the Fed to evaluate whether the price increases are transitory or if they will become prolonged and spread to sectors beyond tariff-sensitive goods. Markets are currently pricing in two additional rate cuts this year but remain uncertain about the outlook for next year, with some Fed officials signaling a cautious stance. Should the labor market continue to deteriorate while inflation remains elevated, the US economy could face stagnation, creating a favorable environment for gold. In Australia, recent labor data has increased economic uncertainty. The unemployment rate for Sep rose to a four-year high of 4.5% from 4.3% in the previous month, driven by a decrease in job openings and an increase in job seekers concerned about future income prospects. The weakening labor market has lifted market expectations for an RBA rate cut in Nov to over 70% from a previous reading of 40%, weighing on the Australian dollar. From a technical perspective, XAUAUD is trading within an upward range with expanding EMAs (21,78), indicating strong bullish momentum, though it may face pressure from profit-taking. A breakout above the Fibonacci Extension 361.8% at 6588 could see the price target the Fibonacci Extension 423.6% at 6866. Conversely, a failure to breach the 6588 level could result in a decline to test the support at 6140. By Van Ha Trinh, Financial Market Strategist at Exness

XAUUSD detects the Cup and Handle patternThe market context on XAUUSD is still clearly bullish. The latest movement has shown a stable recovery, pushing towards the expected channel top. But let's pay attention to what happens at this price level. The price tested it once... and then bounced down. It’s coming back... And now, for the third time, we’re waiting for buyers to defend this level again... This looks a lot like a Cup and Handle pattern, a strong signal that buyers are building significant bullish momentum. Now, let’s break it down: The real confirmation comes when the price breaks through the neckline, the resistance level connecting the peaks. That breakout tells us the change is real! Strong and clear. And right now, the market is consolidating. This is the Cup and Handle pattern: a continuation pattern signaling an uptrend. When the price breaks out of the handle, it’s the confirmation that buyers are back, and the new bullish trend is starting.

Key Support Levels: $4,120 – $4,130: Short-term EMA cluster support zone $4,048: Mid-term bullish defense area $3,930 – $3,870: Major swing supports if deeper correction occurs Key Resistance Zone: $4,270 – $4,300: Immediate resistance / potential breakout target Above this range, next psychological target sits at $4,350 Trading Outlook: Price action suggests a potential minor retracement toward the EMA20/EMA50 area before resuming the next impulse leg upward. As long as price holds above $4,120, the overall structure favors continuation of the uptrend. Strategy for Today: Buy on dips near 4,180–4,120 Stop Loss: below 4,048 Take Profit: 4,270 – 4,300 – 4,350 Momentum and RSI remain supportive of further upside after short-term consolidation.

The opportunity to go long on gold is here! Are you ready?After the gold market opened this week, I proposed a trading strategy of "maintaining long positions on dips during a sustained upward trend." In the current clear upward trend, investors who adhere to this long-term strategy have a high potential for profit. I am not surprised by the rapid rise in gold prices this week. The analytical opinions released recently continue to suggest that gold prices are expected to rise further, and the core factors supporting the rise in gold have been explained many times, including the macroeconomic environment, market sentiment and technical structure. These are also important bases for me to maintain my bullish judgment. The current gold price trajectory is generally consistent with expectations. Overall, both technical and fundamental factors provide strong support for gold bulls, and the medium- and long-term bullish trend is unquestionable; but in the short term, we need to be vigilant against possible wash-out and volatile market conditions. The current gold price fluctuates around 4200 points, forming a range-bound oscillation pattern in the short term. Judging from the trend characteristics, the market is in a critical stage of choosing its direction, and may usher in a breakthrough in the market in the future - either a continuation of the upward trend or a period of drastic adjustments. Before this range is effectively broken through, there are trading opportunities for both bulls and bears. Based on the current technical pattern, I prefer to arrange long positions at relatively low levels as a short-term operation strategy. It is recommended that the one-hour moving average system and the 4170 to 4180 area where the middle track of the Bollinger band is located can be used as a reference range for building positions in batches. For investors who have not yet established a systematic trading framework and lack a clear trading plan, it is recommended to pay attention to professional analysis content to improve decision-making quality. I will continue to provide trading strategies with logical support and practical value to help investors achieve stable returns in a complex market environment.

Asian Session Prep | Price Holding Above Yesterday’s HighNew day, new opportunity — and the bulls are still in control. Price broke above yesterday’s high before the Asian killzone, showing strong intent early. Now, as we move into the session, it looks like we’re setting up for a continuation — using the previous Daily High (4234.7) as intraday support. I’ll be watching for a clean reaction around that level during the next impulsive hour. As long as price continues respecting that structure, I’ll maintain a bullish bias. 💡 Key Notes: Setup: Killzone Continuation Bias: Bullish Key Level: 4234.7 (Previous Daily High → Support) Session Focus: Asian Killzone (8PM–11PM CST) Target Zones: 4250 short-term, 4280 stretch target Blind Spot: Price might retrace deeper before expansion — watch for liquidity sweeps near 4220 before continuation. #Gold #Futures #DayTrading #PriceAction #AsianSession #KillzoneTrading #NoFOMO #Discipline #ICTInspired #TraderMindset

Risk-Off Sentiment Strengthens, Gold Holds Bullish StructureHello everyone, Rising US–China tensions are fuelling market volatility, as both sides continue imposing retaliatory tariffs and export restrictions. This escalation has shaken global equities and driven investors back to safe-haven assets like gold. Remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell at NABE further boosted expectations for monetary easing, as he hinted at two rate cuts of 25 basis points each within the year. The prospect of lower rates reduces the opportunity cost of holding gold, reinforcing its bullish momentum. During the previous session, gold spiked sharply from 4,090 to 4,180 before slight profit-taking brought it down to around 4,161 — yet it still closed higher than the day before, confirming buyer dominance. On the 1H chart, the uptrend structure remains intact and orderly. Each bullish impulse creates a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that’s later partially filled — a typical pattern of a strong trending market. Overall, the macro narrative continues to favour a “risk-off” sentiment, aligning with the prevailing bullish structure. A modest pullback to the 4,150–4,158 zone could offer an opportunity for momentum to rebuild toward 4,185–4,190, and if this resistance breaks, a move toward 4,200–4,220 could quickly follow.

GOLD → After the pullback, growth may continue. 4250 - 4300?FX:XAUUSD continues to break records, approaching the $4,200 level amid escalating trade tensions and expectations of Fed policy easing. A correction is forming before the possible continuation of growth... Key growth drivers: Trump is considering a ban on Chinese vegetable oil imports, and the parties are imposing reciprocal port fees. The probability of a Fed rate cut in October and December exceeds 90%, despite Powell's cautious comments. The current correction in gold is seen as a buying opportunity. Growth to $4250+ will continue if trade tensions persist and the Fed maintains its dovish rhetoric. Resistance levels: 4200, 4218, 4250 Support levels: 4179, 4166, 4155 A pullback is forming. A false breakdown of the specified support zone could support further growth, provided that the bulls hold their defense above the specified levels. The market remains bullish and aggressive, and there are currently no technical or fundamental reasons for a deep correction Sincerely, R. Linda!

Gold Eyes 4,200 as Pullback Near 4,070 Sets Stage for Next BreakHey Traders, In today’s session, we’re monitoring XAUUSD for a buying opportunity around the 4,070 zone. Gold remains in a strong uptrend, and after setting a fresh all-time high, price is now pulling back toward key trend support. This area has been acting as a critical demand zone, and a bullish reaction here could trigger the next leg higher — potentially toward the 4,200 mark. With safe-haven demand still elevated and DXY under pressure, the broader context continues to favor further upside in Gold. Trade safe, Joe.

In the game of global trade, the referee is gold!!!What appears to be the convergence of two long-term downtrends formed by the parity of the gold to bitcoin ratio, and at this point when gold has broken its grip (thanks to the foolishness of Western governments past and present), we should see the price rise to the 1.59 range. This is evidence that gold prices, even if they have not increased since the time of writing, are still in high demand! And gold is the best judge of the global economy! Good luck

Silver (XAGUSD) – Bearish Momentum Building#Silver (#XAGUSD H4) – Bearish Momentum Building Current price: $52.46 Silver is showing early signs of a downside continuation after a completed corrective rebound. The structure suggests a potential shift toward a new impulsive leg lower. 🧩 Technical Overview • Price reversed from the $53.00 resistance zone after completing a local correction. • The rising channel was broken, confirming weakness and early downside momentum. • Market structure now favors a decline, with the trend shifting toward lower highs and lower lows. 📉 Scenario If price confirms a downward continuation: • Stop-loss: above the recent high near $53.00. • Once a clear H4 fractal forms, the stop should trail above the most recent fractal high. • The main downside targets are aligned with Fibonacci levels from the previous swing: – First zone: $50.50 (initial reaction area) – Next support: $47.20–$47.40 – Extended target: $44.10–$44.30 – Major accumulation zone: $41.20 ⚙️ Market Context • The overall bullish impulse from mid-September appears exhausted. • Lower timeframe momentum confirms growing pressure from sellers. • A clean break below $50.50 would confirm continuation of the downward leg. 🧭 Summary Silver remains in a corrective decline phase, showing potential for deeper retracement if sellers maintain control. As long as price stays below $53.00, the bias remains bearish, with focus on $47.20–$44.00 as the key reaction zones.
