GOLD: The Market Is Looking Down! Short!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse GOLD together☺️
The market is at an inflection zone and price has now reached an area around 3,341.83 where previous reversals or breakouts have occurred.And a price reaction that we are seeing on multiple timeframes here could signal the next move down so we can enter on confirmation, and target the next key level of 3,332.51.Stop-loss is recommended beyond the inflection zone.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️

GOLD Technical Outlook: Bearish Below 3343, Eyeing 3332 → 3320Gold Futures Overview
Gold futures edged slightly higher but remain trapped in a tight consolidation range. The market is caught between conflicting macro signals — real yields, dollar strength, and uncertainty around the Fed’s next steps — while geopolitical risks continue to provide medium-term support.
Inflation remains the key risk factor: if it proves persistent, the Fed may be forced to maintain higher rates for longer, limiting gold’s upside.
🔹 Technical Outlook
In the short term, momentum is bearish as long as price trades below 3343, targeting 3332. A sustained break beneath this level would extend losses toward 3320 and 3313.
On the flip side, a confirmed 1H close above 3346 would shift momentum, opening the way toward 3355–3365, with potential extension to 3375.
Support: 3332, 3320, 3313
Resistance: 3355, 3365, 3375
XAUUSD – Waiting for the Market to Show Its Hand1. Yesterday’s Setup
In my yesterday’s analysis, I mentioned that while I am bullish overall, I could not ignore the pressure Gold was putting on the 3330 support. I also noted that for bulls to regain control, a break above 3345 was needed.
The market reacted with textbook precision: price rallied exactly to 3345 before breaking down through 3330, reaching a low of 3311. Currently, we see a normal rebound, but inside a bearish short-term structure.
________________________________________
2. The Key Question
Is this just a continuation of the downtrend, or a trap before the real bullish move?
________________________________________
3. Why I’m Not Convinced by the Bears
• The recent drop doesn’t look impulsive—it’s overlapped and choppy, more like a stepway accumulation phase.
• The pattern is contained inside a falling wedge, a structure that usually favors upside breaks.
• Bears had their chance yesterday, but the follow-through looks weak.
________________________________________
4. Trading Plan
At this moment, I’m out of the market, waiting for confirmation.
• Buy zone: around 3300–3305 for a potential re-entry long.
• Bullish confirmation: if price climbs back above yesterday’s high (3345), it would negate the breakdown and confirm a false break.
• With price now at 3322, I prefer to stay patient, watching how it reacts at the key levels.

5. Final Note 🚀
Gold is now right in the middle of my interest range. For me, it’s not about predicting—it’s about waiting for the market to reveal the next high-probability setup.

SHORT: Short term GDXU 2X pull back, is it now time to go GDXDI've laid out the major run ups and pull backs. The last 3 run ups have lasted 219 - 237 days. If the last peak was put in by GDXU it would put it at 225 days. I'm looking at this as a potential repeating pattern. Note the GDXU run ups based on a % gain from the bottom, assuming, the most recent peak was the final high in this run up. The run ups were +241%, +270%, and +279%. The run up also reasonable for the peak.
Big question, what about the draw downs. The last 2 have been -54%, -42%, and-60%. In GDXD, the inverse gold miners ETF 2X levered resulted in a gain of +90%, +58%, and +95%. The run up on the inverse side lasted 53, 20, and 22 days. GDXD is currently up +13% in the last 7 days.
Take aways, reduce/eliminate position in long GDXU and wait for a better buy in position and potential upside in the inverse gold miners etf.
Gamification People don't trade for money, they trade for other reasons without realising.
Many new traders, start with a point to prove. Although in the crypto space it seems to be "how to turn $100 into a Lambo" The issue is you know the majority of the comments will be from people that are way overleveraged on money they don't have.
Then you have individuals who are successful in another field, and they come to trade, thinking it's easy and they can win here as well.
The market has a way of humbling people quickly.
Gamification is more to do with people who "need to be in the market" - more trades equals more wins and more profits.
The issue is, well at least for most. Is that they dive in without really learning how to manage risk, actually no clue how to manage money properly not just the risk.
I wrote this post back in 2021 - Click it to open.
The psychology part of trading is the biggest thing most people seem to fail to understand.
It isn't just about risk management, it's about how you manage your emotions, the ability to not jump into revenge trades and beyond all of that it's about reading the markets with an appreciation of what the gamers are looking for.
Have you ever lined up a trade, you have your TP and SL mapped out, you have a clear plan - you assume your trading with an edge and you see an expected move like this?
Yet, as soon as you enter you get a run.
You see, when you are too focused on the game, you fail to read the story. Instead, you play each level as it's own map.
I covered a topic of relevance here;
This is about how you can structure the ranges, mechanically and take away the emotions and the guesswork.
When you fail to spot the signs, it's like missing a power up in a game.
The market often leaves behind footprints; these footprints help build a bias and in turn, give you more confirmation for each setup.
In this post, I explained that many new traders go seeking a silver bullet; they look for more data, indicators, screens, and instruments to trade.
I can't stress enough - less is more!!!!
Trading isn't about hoping you can turn your last $500 dollars into a retirement fund. It's about winning big and losing small. Then you refine and adjust so the win rate increases and doing it all again next week, next month, next year.
Now look at that image above and see the obvious when you zoom out.
As clear as day you can see an impulsive move, followed by a corrective move.
Instead of playing the game, try learning the map first.
This will help 100% with your win rate, that will ease your emotional anxiety and put you on the right path.
There are tools available today such as prop firms where you can reduce/limit your exposure, learn to trade as if it's a skill and not a game, and you will surprise yourself!
Stay safe! Have a great week!

XAUUSD: Market Analysis and Strategy for August 20Gold Support and Resistance Update:
Daily Chart Resistance: 3358, Support: 3300
4-Hour Chart Resistance: 3345, Support: 3310
1-Hour Chart Resistance: 3327, Support: 3318.
The 4-Hour MACD is currently forming a low-level death cross with high volume, and the STO indicator indicates oversold conditions, indicating that gold prices are consolidating at low levels. A short-term rebound will not exceed the resistance level of the middle line and the moving average. Keep an eye on the resistance level of 3332-3341. However, the moving average resistance level will shift downwards over time. Currently, focus on the MA10 resistance level at 3327. On the daily chart, yesterday's decline continued the market's downward trend. On the 1-Hour Chart, prices are trading below the MA60/MA120 daily moving averages. The MACD is trading below the zero axis, indicating strong downward momentum and increasing bearish strength. The RSI is trading below the middle axis, and the KDJ pattern favors a continued decline, indicating a bearish short-term trend. During the NY session, focus on resistance at 3330/3345 and support at 3300/3292. My personal recommendation: sell on rallies!
SELL: near 3327
SELL: near 3343
BUY: near 3300

The dividing line 3330-3340 is not broken and rebounds to short#XAUUSD
After repeated fluctuations in the white session last night, gold fell below 3320 in the NY session and closed with weak fluctuations. 📊This morning, gold hit a low near 3311,📉 which aligns with our short-term outlook.✅
Judging from the monthly chart, the decline of gold in recent weeks has not been smooth, and each time it has been accompanied by a relatively strong rebound. 📈Today, there is a rebound near the 3311 line below. This point deserves our attention.👀 Previously, NFP achieved a big rise after breaking through here.🚀 At the same time, this point is also the area of the daily 100-day moving average.🐂
The first time it hits this point, it is bound to usher in a bullish resistance, and this is indeed the case.⚖️ Once it falls below this point, the next step will be the 3300 integer mark, 🥅and it may even hit the previous low, which is also the lower track of the daily line around 3280.↘️
Although the current market is relatively strong in short-term selling, we should not be overly bearish in the short term.↘️ After all, the impact of the news has not completely dissipated. The Federal Reserve will also release the meeting minutes in the evening NY session, 📰so we still need to be vigilant that the bulls may counterattack at any time.📈
In the short term, pay attention to the upper 3330-3340 bull-bear dividing line. If you encounter resistance and pressure in this range, you can consider shorting in batches with light positions, looking towards 3315-3300, and defending 3345. If the rebound effectively breaks through 3345, gold may fluctuate again.📊
🚀 SELL 3330-3340
🚀 TP 3315-3300

Latest Gold Price Update – Will the Downtrend Continue?Hello everyone, what do you think about OANDA:XAUUSD ? Will it go up or down?
As per our strategy from yesterday , gold has dropped sharply, currently trading around 3,315 USD, and down more than 300 pips from the previous session.
Gold continues to trade within a narrow range as traders await the next catalyst to drive price action, with the upcoming speech by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell being seen as a potential factor. Additionally, the recent recovery of the TVC:DXY index has also put some pressure on the strength of this precious metal.
From a technical perspective, gold has lost the 3,330 USD support level and remains capped below the descending trendline. The price is moving downward following the Dow Theory wave pattern. If favorable, the first profit-taking target (at the 1.618 level) at the round 3,300 USD mark may be pushed lower by the bears.
What do you think? How will gold move? Keep a close eye on the market to spot opportunities, and remember that trading with the trend is always a good strategy.
Good luck!
GOLD → Correction and retest of a previously broken level...FX:XAUUSD breaks through the support of the local consolidation “symmetrical triangle” and falls to a minimum of 3311...
Gold remained at a three-week low of around $3,300 in Asian trading on Wednesday as markets awaited the Fed minutes and Powell's speech in Jackson Hole. The dollar is strengthening on expectations that the Fed chair will reject the idea of aggressive rate cuts despite weak labor market and inflation data. The probability of a rate cut in September is estimated at 85%. Strong housing market data and news about negotiations on Ukraine provided additional support to the dollar. Powell's comments on Friday remain the key factor for gold, while current movements are mainly technical in nature.
Resistance levels: 3328, 3331, 3345
Support levels: 3314, 3300, 3328
Technically, a correction is forming after a bearish rally. As part of the correction, the price may test the zone of interest, which is represented by local resistance levels. Distribution could bring the price to 3300-3270.
Best regards, R. Linda!
Gold, silver and stock prices plummetThe simultaneous plunge in precious metals and tech stocks underscored the growing risk-off sentiment as investors adjust their positions ahead of key economic data and the Federal Reserve’s policy guidance. The sell-off in gold, often seen as a safe-haven asset, underscored concerns about the economic outlook and inflation. The reason was clearly cautious ahead of the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole meeting tomorrow, where investors are eagerly awaiting clues on the future direction of interest rates.
“In recent weeks, some U.S. economic data has surprised on the downside. While stronger-than-expected producer price index (PPI) numbers have reminded markets that inflationary pressures may still be looming from Donald Trump’s tariff policies. That data has temporarily tempered expectations for a series of rapid and aggressive rate cuts, but markets are still pricing in a 25 basis point cut at the September FOMC, although the path beyond that remains uncertain.”
Gold Rejecting Resistance After Liquidity Grab – Bow & Arrow SetThis is a textbook liquidity grab + rejection setup.
Price executed a liquidity grab above structure, shooting into previous highs to build momentum for the drop — classic bow and arrow effect.
After sweeping stops and pulling back, price retested the nearest resistance (around 3,324–3,325), but hasn’t broken the body high — this confirms sellers are still active.
The push down was strong enough to reach the 4H support zone, and although price bounced, it looks like a temporary pullback rather than a reversal.
As long as price stays below 3,347, this short bias holds. The structure still supports downside continuation unless a clear breakout occurs.
Bias:
Bearish — expecting continuation down toward 3,312 and possibly back to test 3,307.

XAUUSD Technical Analysis – August 20Overall Trend:
After a sharp decline, gold has formed a descending channel and recently bounced from the key support zone at 3311 – 3318.
Price is currently testing the 3322 – 3325 area, which aligns with short-term EMAs (20–50). This zone will determine whether the recovery can extend further.
Key Resistance Levels
3344 – 3346: Fibonacci 0.5 retracement and EMA 100, acting as the first resistance to watch.
3359 – 3360: Strong resistance on H1. A breakout above this level could open the way towards 3380.
Key Support Levels
3318 – 3311: Strong demand zone (recent swing low + Fibonacci 0.786).
If broken, gold may quickly drop toward 3300 – 3295.
Momentum Indicators
RSI on H1 is rebounding from oversold territory, signaling a potential corrective move.
However, the broader bias remains bearish as price is still trading below EMA 200.
Trading Strategy
Long Setup (counter-trend bounce)
Entry: 3320 – 3325
TP1: 3344 – 3346
TP2: 3359 – 3360
SL: below 3310
Short Setup (trend-following)
Wait for rejection signals at 3344 – 3346 or 3359 – 3360
Entry: 3345 – 3358
TP1: 3322 – 3325
TP2: 3311
SL: above 3365
Conclusion
Gold is showing a technical rebound within a broader downtrend.
For intraday trading, it’s best to stay flexible: look for buy opportunities above 3318, and watch for sell setups at strong resistance zones 3344 – 3360.
Risk management remains crucial as volatility on H1 is still high.
- Save these key levels and follow for more strategies in upcoming sessions.
