Exit with short-term profit. Interest rate cuts ignite the marke#XAUUSD OANDA:XAUUSD
Powell's comments and the Fed's interest rate cut will be the focus of the entire market tonight. If Powell makes dovish remarks this time or the rate cut basis point exceeds expectations, and the number of rate cuts is increased this year, gold will still have room to rise. On the contrary, if Powell makes hawkish remarks or the interest rate cut is less than expected, a technical correction may occur.
The group has reminded people to go long on gold when the price falls back below 3665-3655. Currently, the gold price has rebounded and successfully touched TP. Friends who continue to hold long positions can consider leaving the market early on the eve of the data release to avoid profit-taking caused by data uncertainty.
Resist trading before the data release and wait for the Fed's decision and Powell's speech. Support at 3660 remains. If it breaks below, the next target will be 3630-3600.

Fed Catalyst: The Bear AwakensGold rebounded after touching 3660 and is currently fluctuating in a narrow range around 3685. Gold is currently trading relatively cautiously, apparently waiting for the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision to indicate its short-term direction.
How to formulate a trading plan for the Federal Reserve interest rate decision market? In fact, in the short term, I think there will not be much room for gold to continue to rise, and the short-term peak may be in the 3705-3715 area; in addition, regarding the expectation of interest rate cuts, I think the Federal Reserve will adopt a step-by-step approach to announce a 25 basis point interest rate cut, and as for Powell’s attitude, I think it may rely more on the feedback from US employment data and inflation data to decide whether to continue to cut interest rates within the year. The attitude may not be obviously dovish, so I think there is limited room for short-term increases.
Since I think the short-term peak of gold is in the 3705-3715 area, and the short-term resistance area is around 3690. Therefore, I will definitely ambush and short gold before the news is announced. Of course, the transaction needs to be set up in combination with the risk resistance ability of my account.
At present, I tend to divide the upper space into two areas, namely 3685-3695 and 3705-3715. I will mainly short gold in batches around these two areas. Once gold falls as expected, I think it will first test the intraday low around 3660. Once it falls below this area, I think gold is likely to continue to test the area around 3635-3625.
As for whether gold can take advantage of this opportunity to test the area around 3600. I believe I will overcome my greed and will not take risks to gamble for gains beyond my cognition. I will need to make a secondary judgment based on market fluctuations at that time.In any case, I would favor a short gold setup, so let’s hope for a bearish recovery!
With the meeting coming, will gold prices soar or plummet?Technical analysis of gold: Judging from the current trend, gold is approaching the 3700 mark. Bulls are surrounding it but not attacking, waiting for guidance from the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. Overall, gold has risen by nearly $400 since it rose from 3311. For now, it is still in a bullish trend. Don't easily say it has reached the top before the trend reverses. From a technical point of view, the intraday support point is reflected in the daily cycle. On the unilateral moving average of the H4 cycle, the lower support is in the 3660-3650 area. You can just focus on these two points and go long. In principle, we don’t guess the top of the upper space, but the visible target is expected to be around 3710-3720. If it continues to rise, it may even reach 3730. After a phased rise during the U.S. trading session, we will see whether we can keep long positions and wait for the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision based on actual conditions. The Federal Reserve will definitely cut interest rates this time, but the first rate cut will not be a large-scale release of money. It is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. The market performance is to sell expectations and buy facts. The current rise in gold from the end of August to September has achieved expectations. Therefore, after the actual confirmation of the rate cut, the market is expected to move in the opposite direction because the expectations have been fulfilled, and the historical performance is the same. To sum up the above: for the lower support, first pay attention to the area around 3660, and continue to look up to the 3680-3690 area. If the support is broken strongly, you can participate in long positions in the 3630-3620 area. At present, pay attention to the area around 3685-3695 in the short term and try to short. On the whole, the short-term strategy for gold today is still to arrange long positions on dips, supplemented by light positions in short positions when it rebounds to key resistance levels. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 3700-3720 line of resistance, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 3660-3650 line of support.

LiamTrading – XAUUSD Market points to Wave 4LiamTrading – XAUUSD Outlook
Sharing my personal view on the next potential move for gold.
From the current chart structure, the wave pattern suggests XAUUSD is likely in Wave 4. The correction began yesterday after price touched the 3,700 round number – a key resistance area that also aligns with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. This zone typically attracts significant liquidity, and the subsequent pullback adds weight to the view that Wave 4 has been triggered.
At present, the main support level to monitor is 3,675. A break below this level could see the corrective move complete around 3,656. On the H1 timeframe, RSI has dropped below 30, indicating oversold conditions. In my opinion, while the market trades in this area, short positions remain favourable, though patience is required until clearer confluence signals emerge.
Trading plan (short-term focus):
Sell 3685–3687, SL 3693, TP 3670 – 3656
Buy 3656–3654, SL 3648, TP 3675 – 3690 – 3702 – 3721 – 3740
I’ll continue to share further updates if price action shows significant changes. Wishing everyone good trading and success in the markets.
XAUUSD – FOMC Rate-Cut Watch (Key Levels & Outlook)Gold is holding around $3,686 as traders brace for the FOMC decision at 8 pm (UTC-2). Markets are increasingly pricing a potential rate cut, which would typically weaken the USD and support gold.
Key Levels
Upside Resistance:
• $3,693–3,695 – first breakout zone
• $3,703 – critical resistance, sustained close above opens door to $3,710+
Immediate Support:
• $3,682 / 3,678 – intraday demand
• $3,676–3,675 – next strong bid area
• $3,674 – last major floor before deeper pullback
Scenarios
Bullish: A dovish Fed or an actual rate cut could spark a rally through $3,695, targeting $3,703 and potentially $3,710–3,720.
Bearish: A hawkish surprise or no cut may send price back toward $3,678, with deeper support near $3,674.
Fundamentals
Rate Cut Probability: Markets are eyeing slowing U.S. labor data and softer inflation as justification for a 25 bps cut.
USD & Yields: Lower yields would typically push the dollar lower and gold higher.
Risk Events: Watch Fed press conference language for hints of further easing.
⚠️ Trading Plan: Wait for the FOMC announcement before committing. Breakout above $3,695 favors longs; rejection could set up a quick move back to $3,676.
This is market commentary, not financial advice—manage risk carefully around high-volatility events.

Gold XAUUSD Intraday Setup 17 SeptI am looking for a bullish setup on Gold ahead of FOMC, with my buy zone placed at 3669–3671, which aligns with previous support and a liquidity grab area. My stop-loss is set just below the recent swing low at 3658, keeping risk contained. If data comes in favor, I expect price to rally toward the 3703+ zone, with potential extension toward all-time highs as momentum builds. The setup offers a strong risk-to-reward profile, and given the rejection from lower levels, I’ll be watching closely for fundamentals to confirm continuation to the upside.
Rate Decision Looms: Short Sellers Poised to StrikeGold continued to decline and is currently supported around 3660 and showing signs of rebound. I don’t hold any orders at the moment because I am currently preparing for the Federal Reserve interest rate decision news market! In fact, I have made part of the plan yesterday and today. Until now, I still tend to believe that the gold market will rise and then fall, but we must grasp the trading rhythm and entry price in the transaction.
In fact, before the Fed's interest rate announcement, gold retreated to around 3660. After this significant retreat, we can lower our expectations for a gold rally on news. Based on the current structure, the upper limit for gold bulls lies in the 3710-3720 area, and it's possible that the 3703 area has become the current high.
As gold retreats to around 3660, bullish momentum has weakened, and short-term resistance has shifted to the 3680-3690 area. Therefore, I might consider initiating a short position in gold in this area. If gold falls below the 3660-3650 range due to market news, it could continue its decline to the 3635-3625 range.
Since we currently hold no positions, we have the initiative in trading. As long as we allocate lots appropriately and strictly control risk, it's difficult not to make a profit! So, let's wish you good luck!
