XAU/USD | Gold May Correct First, Then Continue To Fall! By analyzing the #Gold chart on the 2H timeframe, we can see that after last week’s analysis, price continued moving lower and has already reached the $4003 region. In my view, this bearish move is not finished yet. I still expect stronger downside pressure today or tomorrow, and Gold may soon break below the psychological $4000 level.
Before that happens, we may first see a minor corrective move higher to fill part of the liquidity void created during the recent decline. After this correction, sellers could step in again and push price toward lower levels. The key downside areas to monitor are $3985 – $3990 , followed by $3959 – $3979 , and then the important $3940 level.
For now, the main bias remains bearish , but price reaction around these levels will be very important for the next move.

The United States: A House of Cards on the Brink of Collapse💥 NASDAQ:TLT BITSTAMP:BTCUSD IG:BITCOIN TVC:GOLD TVC:SILVER SP:SPX TVC:DXY
The writing is on the wall. Under Trump’s leadership, the U.S. Treasury has been bled dry, the government is in shambles, and the country has lost its edge on the global stage. While the U.S. clings to fake valuations, propping up an overvalued dystopian bubble in crypto, AI, and tech, the rest of the world is catching up. And when this bubble bursts, the fallout will be catastrophic.
🌍 The Perfect Storm: A Nation in Crisis
The U.S. is drowning in its own excesses:
Soaring prices: Groceries, oil, housing, healthcare, education, everything is unaffordable for the average American.
Geopolitical isolation: The U.S. is at war with Iran, alienating allies, and threatening the world just to prop up Trump’s fragile ego.
Economic ruin: The overvalued markets (Wall Street, crypto, AI, tech) are a house of cards waiting to collapse.
When it all comes crashing down, the U.S. will be left in economic ruins, ... post-war, post-bubble, and post-trust.
💡 The Only Way Out: A Government for the People
The solution? A competent, caring government that prioritizes the people over billionaires. Leaders like Mamdani, Sanders, AOC and others understand that the only way forward is to:
Tear down Wall Street’s stranglehold on the economy.
Redirect wealth back to the Treasury, where it belongs.
Pay off the debt and restore stability to the country.
But here’s the twist: The billionaires will likely end up owning most of the debt. At a 4.9% guaranteed yield for the next 30 years, they’ll literally own the United States.
🎯 The Trade: Load Up on NASDAQ:TLT
If you want a piece of that action, if you want the U.S. to pay you a monthly share of what it owes, then NASDAQ:TLT is the play. When inflation comes back down and the Treasury can finally start a rate cutting cycle, these Bonds at such high Yields will become invaluable. SO Here's what I’m doing right now:
Support the Treasury to stabilize the country.
Profit from the inevitable collapse of the old system.
Help bring America back to greatness, ... on your own terms.
The system is broken. The bubble is bursting. The time to act is now.
Stay ahead. The revolution is coming.

XAU/USD | Gold Sweeps Liquidity – Eyes on Weekend Close!By analyzing the #Gold chart on the 4H timeframe, we can see that price first swept liquidity below $4664 with a move down to $4658, then strong demand stepped in and pushed Gold sharply higher toward $4740. After this expansion, price entered a minor correction and is now trading around the $4720 – $4730 region.
With today being the last trading day of the week, the market is shifting into a more headline-driven phase. Expectations around potential Iran–US negotiations could support short-term bullish momentum, at least into the early next week open.
From a structural perspective, the nearest demand zones are $4690 – $4710, with deeper support around $4650 – $4670. On the upside, the closest supply zones are $4740 – $4760, followed by a stronger resistance area between $4780 – $4810.
If buyers continue to build momentum, the next short-term upside targets are $4755, followed by $4780, then $4800, and potentially $4825.
In my view, these negotiations are unlikely to lead to a real outcome. There’s a high probability that tensions could rise again next week, and we might even see a renewed escalation or conflict scenario.
