Gold: death cross doesn’t forgive bullsTechnically , gold is stuck around 3336–3354, right at the 0.705–0.786 Fibo cluster and strong volume resistance. But the key signal is a death cross: MA50 cutting below MA200. This bearish pattern strengthens the downside outlook. RSI remains weak, confirming lack of buying momentum. If 3336 breaks, targets lie at 3298 and 3282 (1.618 Fibo extension).
Fundamentally , gold lacks bullish support. The dollar may not be overly strong, but it stays stable thanks to Fed’s cautious policy. Oil near highs fuels inflation expectations, making gold less attractive. No new geopolitical shocks mean safe-haven demand stays muted.
Tactical plan : below 3354 pressure remains on sellers. Break under 3336 confirms downside with 3298 → 3282 targets. Only a close above 3354 would flip the short-term bias, but current MA structure and volume point to more weakness.
Bottom line: death cross is not a romantic metaphor - it’s a cold reminder that bulls are losing the fight.

Gold Technical Outlook – Midpoint Support Holds, Retest of 3,500On the Daily Chart, gold has been climbing steadily since New Year’s Day, with several pullbacks along the way but maintaining its overall bullish trajectory.
After breaking into the 3,167.72 – 3,430.46 range, price has shown comfort within this zone. The midpoint at 3,286.94 (Green Line) has acted as a supportive bias, with price holding above it — reinforcing the view that bulls remain in control.
That said, this period of consolidation has lasted longer than expected, breaking the previous rising trajectory (shown by the diagonal Red Line). This suggests that momentum has weakened.
Importantly, this doesn’t confirm that the bullish run is over — but it does highlight the market’s current struggle to push higher with strength. A high of 3,500.02 was briefly tested but quickly rejected, which leads me to believe the market still has reason to retest that level in the near future.
Gold XAUUSD Intra-Day Setup 18.08.2025Price is currently trading within a descending channel. A key breakout zone is forming.
If price breaks above 3355/58 and retests successfully, it opens room toward the 3381 level.
Conversely, if price breaks below 3345/48 and retests, downside continuation may occur toward the 3325 area.
Additional View:
Momentum shows early signs of bullish exhaustion after touching the channel top, but overall, the structure still favors trend continuation inside the channel until a decisive breakout is confirmed. Hence, confirmation after breakout/retest is crucial before entry.
Trading Signals:
Buy Setup: Above 3355/58 with retest confirmation → Target 3381, Stop-Loss below 3344
Sell Setup: Below 3345/48 with retest confirmation → Target 3325, Stop-Loss above 3355.
XAU/USD: Trend Change After Breakout, Bearish ContinuationHello guys!
After a strong bullish run, Gold has shifted momentum with a clear breakout to the downside, confirming a change in trend. The S&P supply zone acted as a strong resistance, rejecting the price back into a descending channel.
Currently, price is respecting the channel structure and has failed to break above minor resistance. The short-term outlook points to a bearish continuation, with a likely move toward the 3,321.89 support.
A clean break below this level could open the way for a deeper push into the 3,314.44 demand zone.
📉 Bearish bias remains intact while trading below the supply zone.
📈 Bullish invalidation would require a breakout above the channel and the S&P zone.
XAUUSD Buy signal on Triangle bottom.Gold (XAUUSD) has been trading within a Triangle pattern, having dropped below its 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) in recent sessions. It is approaching its 1D MA100 (red trend-line), which is the ultimate long-term Support (holding since December 31 2024), which provided the bounce on the previous July 30 Higher Low.
With the 4H MACD printing a bottom formation similar to all buy sequences of the Triangle, it is highly likely that we will see a rebound next. As with the previous Bullish Leg, we expect to test at least the 0.9 Fibonacci retracement level, which is at 3420.

Gold | Safe-Haven Demand Rises Ahead of Trump–Zelensky Talks XAU/USD: Gold Prices Jump as Traders Shift Focus to Trump–Zelensky Meeting
Backed by European leaders, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet Donald Trump on Monday in Washington in a high-stakes attempt to secure a permanent ceasefire and binding security guarantees. The geopolitical backdrop remains tense, with Trump’s comments suggesting Zelensky could end the war “immediately” — framing that complicates the talks.
For markets, the stakes are equally high. Gold, as a classic safe-haven asset, is benefiting from risk aversion. Traders see the fragile peace outlook and ongoing uncertainty as fuel for sustained demand in bullion.
Technical Outlook:
Gold remains highly sensitive to geopolitical developments:
Stability above 3343 supports a bullish move toward 3356, and a break higher could extend gains to 3383 and 3401.
A 1H candle close below 3343 would turn the outlook bearish, with downside targets at 3332, 3320, and potentially 3284.
Pivot: 3343
Support: 3332, 3320, 3285
Resistance: 3356, 3366, 3401
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

Silver uptrend continuation support at 3753The Silver remains in a bullish trend, with recent price action showing signs of a continuation breakout within the broader uptrend.
Support Zone: 3753 – a key level from previous consolidation. Price is currently testing or approaching this level.

Outlook:
Bullish bias remains intact while the silver holds above 3753. A sustained break below this level could shift momentum to the downside in the short term.

Silver going to retest $50Silver is setting up for a potential retest of the $50 level within the next year.
Currently, Silver is outperforming Gold, and its relative strength suggests it may also outshine the volatile crypto market in the months ahead.
Historically, a major top in Silver prices often aligns with a bottom in Stocks and Crypto, making this move an important signal for broader market cycles.
GOLD → Attempt to break through 3350 for a retest of 3370FX:XAUUSD is stagnating in a range, awaiting a driver. The price is consolidating, with boundaries narrowing and forming a symmetrical triangle...
Gold is trying to consolidate above $3,350 after falling to an 11-day low of $3,325 amid geopolitical uncertainty. Markets are awaiting Trump's talks with Zelensky, which will be joined by European leaders, hoping for a quick peace agreement on Ukraine. However, general optimism is limiting demand for “safe assets.” Expectations of a dovish Fed policy and the possible lifting of sanctions against Russia are adding to the positive sentiment. At the same time, gold risks a correction if the dollar strengthens amid profit-taking ahead of the Fed minutes and Jerome Powell's speech in Jackson Hole.
Technically, if gold can break through the 3350 level, the market may test the 3370 resistance in the short term, but then return to support due to uncertainty.
Resistance levels: 3350, 3370, 3400
Support levels: 3331, 3315, 3301
At the moment, since the price is in a range, it is worth considering an intrarange trading strategy: false breakouts or rebounds from strong levels. I think that until a strong driver appears, gold will remain within the specified range.
Best regards, R. Linda!
