8/14: Watch Resistance at 3352–3358, Support at 3332–3323Good afternoon, everyone! After entering the 3372–3378 resistance zone, gold attempted two breakouts but failed, forming a double-top pattern and breaking below the 3366 support. It then found temporary support at 3358–3352, but the rebound failed to reclaim 3366, leading to a further drop to test the 3343–3337 area. This is a textbook support-to-resistance shift, worth studying for those interested in technical analysis. Currently, the structure favors the bears. In the coming moves, watch closely to see if the 3352–3358 area turns from support into resistance again. If selling pressure persists, 3332–3323 will be the next battleground. Should bulls fail to defend it, the 3300 level could be retested. For the rest of the week, trading should remain focused on these key support and resistance zones. With data coming in during the US session today, risk management is crucial — favor short positions on rebounds, with long trades as a secondary option. If caught in a losing position, and your account is safe, consider averaging down or hedging. If you need assistance, feel free to message me.

Gold rebounds and is facing resistance, waiting for a declineIn the previous article, I said that if the gold price cannot hold above 3370 in the short term, then the gold price will continue to fall. Today's rebound in the Asian and European sessions shows mixed gains and losses on the K-line chart, indicating a weak rebound. After rebounding to 3367, gold prices turned downward again. Meanwhile, the 1-hour MACD indicator also shows signs of forming a death cross. The Fibonacci retracement indicator from 3408 to 3330 indicates that the 0.618 level is at 3360, and the 0.5 level is at 3370. Therefore, the 3360-3370 range is currently a resistance zone. Therefore, I still maintain my previous view that as long as it cannot hold 3370, you can short in the resistance area.

Gold support has been confirmed, buy with confidenceThe most anticipated outcome for the gold market this week is tomorrow's CPI data. After today's pullback during the Asian and European trading sessions, the current price has reached support levels. Before the CPI release, I believe volatility will be minimal, with a high probability of limited fluctuations. The chart shows that 3350 is a key support level. After several hours of testing, 3350 has stabilized, so we can buy at this level, with the initial target being 3360, followed by 3380.

8/11: Sell High and Buy Low in the 3416–3372 RangeGood morning, everyone! This week’s major data releases and news events are concentrated between Tuesday and Friday. Monday is relatively calm, so today’s strategy will mainly rely on technical analysis. Technically, after a pullback to the MA20, last week’s weekly candle closed as a small bullish candle, and price has re-entered the strong resistance zone at 3400–3450. On the daily chart, bullish momentum hasn’t been fully released yet, but the 4H chart is showing early signs of bearish pressure. For today, keep an eye on the 3400–3420 resistance area, with primary support at 3386–3378 and secondary support at 3372–3366. Unless the bulls completely give up, a break below secondary support seems unlikely. The main trading range for today is 3372–3416. If the market turns into a one-way move, consider a “contrarian” approach — just avoid buying high and selling low. If you find yourself in a trapped position, don’t panic. As long as risks are controlled, you can use scale-in entries or hedging to recover. If your trade rhythm is off, even holding onto positions (“sitting it out”) can reduce losses or turn a profit. Of course, if risk gets out of control, cut losses decisively — better to retreat than to blow up the account. Account safety always comes first. Keep your capital intact, and you’ll find plenty of profitable opportunities this week — so many, you might start wondering if someone added extra days to the calendar. If you need assistance, feel free to leave me a message.

GOLD (XAU/USD) Weekly Open Analysis – H2 Structure# 🟡 GOLD (XAU/USD) Weekly Open Analysis – H2 Structure **Date:** 2025/08/11 **Timeframe:** 2H (Heikin Ashi) **Style:** Smart Money Concept (SMC) + Supply/Demand + Price Action --- ## 📊 Market Context At the weekly open, gold price has started trading above the **upper parallel channel** where last week's close was printed. This level acts as a short-term **bullish bias zone**. Simultaneously, the **Dollar Index (DXY)** opened at lower levels, showing signs of weakness. Historically, a falling DXY often supports upward movement in gold, and we may see a reaction as mapped in the chart. --- ## 🔍 Key Technical Levels - **Upper CHOCH Breakout Zone:** ~**3,399 – 3,400** - **Major Supply Zone:** ~**3,440 – 3,445** - **Demand Zone #1:** **3,345 – 3,350** (POI) - **Demand Zone #2:** **3,320 – 3,330** (FVG completion) - **Final Demand Floor:** **3,260 – 3,265** --- ## 📈 Bullish Scenario (Primary) 1. **Condition:** CHOCH breakout above **3,400** with a bullish BOS confirmation. 2. **Entry Zone:** Retest near **3,399 – 3,402** after breakout. 3. **Targets:** - 🎯 TP1: **3,420** - 🎯 TP2: **3,432** - 🎯 TP3: **3,445** (Major Supply) 4. **Invalidation:** Close back below **3,395** after breakout attempt. --- ## 📉 Bearish Scenario (Alternative) 1. **Condition:** Price fails to break the upper CHOCH and rejects from **3,399 – 3,400**. 2. **Expected Move:** Drop towards **Demand Zone #1** (**3,345 – 3,350**). 3. **If Demand #1 Fails:** Continuation towards **Demand Zone #2** (**3,320 – 3,330**). 4. **Final Target in Deep Drop:** **3,260 – 3,265** (lowest demand line in chart). --- ## ⚠️ Analysis Validity > This analysis remains valid **as long as the upper CHOCH is not broken to the upside**. > If the CHOCH breaks and a bullish BOS forms, the bearish path will be invalidated, shifting the focus to the upside targets. --- 📌 **Note:** Always combine with DXY monitoring – a significant DXY rally could limit gold’s bullish potential. #XAUUSD #GoldAnalysis #SMC #SupplyDemand #CHOCH #BOS #TradingView

XAUUSD Ascending Channel Run to Supply Trade IdeaGold (XAUUSD) remains in a bullish trend 📈, forming higher highs and higher lows within a well-defined ascending channel ↗️. Price is approaching a recent swing high near resistance 🧱, and I’m watching for a short-term pullback into channel support 🔄 before a potential continuation higher toward the supply zone above 🎯. This structure aligns with Wyckoff’s markup phase ⚡, where pullbacks serve as tests (LPS) before further upside. As long as price holds above the channel’s lower boundary 🛡️, the bullish bias remains intact — a break below would invalidate the setup ⚠️. Not financial advice.

Gold (XAU/USD) 4H Institutional Outlook — August 8, 2025Overview As of writing, XAU/USD is trading around $3,392.30 in the 4-hour session, holding firmly above the $3,370–$3,380 support shelf. The recent price action reflects ongoing bullish momentum, driven by escalating geopolitical risks, weak U.S. labor market data, and renewed safe-haven flows after the announcement of U.S. tariffs on gold bars. This analysis outlines the primary institutional Buy and Sell Zones for the day, based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, Order Block/FVG confluence, and 4H price structure. All zones presented are execution-ready and supported by multi-layered validation from institutional frameworks. ✅ Current Price Context Live Price (XAU/USD): $3,392.30 (as of ~03:00 UTC) Structure: Bullish (Higher Highs and Higher Lows) Bias: Bullish, with continuation toward $3,420+ likely if key support holds Recent High: ~$3,410 Key Support Base: $3,375–$3,385 The bullish market structure remains intact with strong institutional displacement legs to the upside and well-defined liquidity targets still in play above $3,420. 🔍 Institutional Trade Zones (4H) 🟩 Primary Buy Zone (Execution-Ready Long Setup) Entry Range: $3,375 – $3,385 Stop Loss: Below $3,370 (beneath liquidity shelf and unmitigated OB) Target 1: $3,420 (1.272 Fib extension) Target 2: $3,450 (1.618 Fib extension) Confluence Factors: Unmitigated Demand Order Block (RBR) Embedded Fair Value Gap following impulsive buy-side displacement 0.705–0.79 OTE retracement zone from latest swing Liquidity sweep under equal lows at ~$3,370 Volume imbalance supports continuation from this zone Located within Discount territory of internal swing Overlaps with Asia–London Kill Zone ➡️ This zone offers the highest confluence of institutional logic today and is nominated as the Golden Zone. 🟥 Primary Sell Zone (Countertrend Reversal Setup) Entry Range: $3,415 – $3,425 Stop Loss: Above $3,430 Target 1: $3,380 Target 2: $3,350 Confluence Factors: Fresh Supply Order Block (DBD) at premium pricing Presence of FVG following sell-side displacement 0.705–0.79 OTE retracement from bearish leg EQH liquidity resting just above entry Strong rejection wicks during NY session Volume imbalance confirms sell-side aggression New York Kill Zone alignment ⚠️ Consider only if price cleanly enters the upper premium zone and shows rejection or sweep behavior. 🟨 Fallback Buy Zone (Contingency Setup) Entry Range: $3,365 – $3,370 Stop Loss: Below $3,360 Target: $3,385 → $3,395 Confluences: Secondary Demand OB Partial FVG In Discount territory Liquidity resting just below $3,365 Volume tapering indicates absorption Use only if Primary Buy Zone is invalidated via strong stop-run or displacement. 🟥 Fallback Sell Zone (Contingency Setup) Entry Range: $3,430 – $3,435 Stop Loss: Above $3,440 Target: $3,400 → $3,380 Confluences: Lower timeframe mitigation zone FVG within premium zone Above EQH liquidity Fulfills repricing logic after overextension Valid only if the primary sell zone is invalidated by sweep and reversal pattern confirmation. 🌐 Institutional Sentiment Confirmation Reuters confirms gold reached multi-month highs due to tariff-induced safe-haven flows FXStreet reports gold holds above the 20-day EMA with a bullish intraday structure FXEmpire technicals target $3,450–$3,500 extension zones if bullish pressure sustains COT positioning and fund flows show continued institutional interest in gold longs 🔔 Final Notes for Execution Allow price to retest and react within the zone before entering. Prefer entries during Asia-London or London-NY Kill Zones Avoid market chasing — wait for confirmations such as sweep → displacement → mitigation

8/7: Continue to Focus on SellingGood afternoon, everyone! During today’s session, gold successfully moved into the anticipated resistance zone of 3386–3398, and encountered significant selling pressure near 3398, resulting in a retracement to around 3372. While the price action aligned with prior expectations, the delayed timing has led to a bearish shift in the technical structure, which may hinder further upside momentum for the bulls. That said, important economic data will be released during the US session later today. We’ll need to observe whether bulls can leverage the potential catalyst to break through the current resistance levels. ⚠️ Trading Strategy Recommendation: Regardless of the data outcome, it is advisable to maintain a bearish bias in subsequent trades. From a technical standpoint, the higher the price climbs, the greater the probability of a pullback, making short positions relatively less risky. 📌 Reference Range: Continue to monitor and trade within the key zones outlined yesterday, adjusting entries and exits as per intraday developments.

Institutional Gold Strategy Note – August 7, 2025🔍 Executive Summary Gold (XAU/USD) continues to hold firm above the $3,370 handle, supported by a bullish macro narrative and confirmed technical structure on the 4-hour chart. Amid dovish expectations from the Fed and soft labor market data out of the U.S., bullion maintains its premium as a hedge, attracting institutional flow in line with the rate-cut narrative for Q3–Q4. Today’s market profile suggests a high-probability long setup, anchored in a fresh demand structure just below current price, supported by unmitigated institutional order flow, premium discount levels, and clear liquidity sweeps. 🎯 Directional Bias: Bullish–Transitional While price is consolidating around $3,378, the underlying structure favors a bullish continuation. A Change of Character (CHoCH) has been confirmed on the 4H chart, suggesting a shift from corrective to impulsive intent. Liquidity remains stacked below recent equal lows, and the premium-to-discount array strongly favors buy-side execution. 🟩 Primary Buy Zone (GOLDEN ZONE) Entry: $3,350–$3,355 | Stop-Loss: < $3,340 | Targets: $3,400 / $3,430 This zone represents the highest institutional quality setup of the day. It aligns with: A fresh unmitigated Rally-Base-Rally Demand Zone A refined Bullish Order Block within optimal trade entry (OTE) discount range A Fair Value Gap (FVG) aligned with internal BOS leg Equal Lows (EQL) sweep below $3,355, targeting liquidity Overlap with volume imbalance, suggesting a clean institutional leg Clear CHoCH confirming bullish structure Kill Zone Alignment: Asia–London overlap, pre-London accumulation This zone is statistically favored for execution by both Smart Money and legacy institutions, given its confluence density and asymmetrical risk profile. 🟥 Primary Sell Zone Entry: $3,385–$3,390 | Stop-Loss: > $3,400 | Targets: $3,350 / $3,320 A valid counter-trend liquidity sweep opportunity, located above short-term equal highs near the psychological $3,400 level. Key confluences include: Drop-Base-Drop Supply Zone Overlapping FVG + OB in premium zone Alignment with OTE premium retracement Liquidity cluster near recent EQH Structural resistance + round-number magnetism Execution window during London–NY overlap This zone is valid only for short-duration scalps or short-term reversal positioning. 🟢 Fallback Buy Zone (If Primary is invalidated) Entry: $3,320–$3,325 | SL: < $3,310 | TPs: $3,400 / $3,430 A deeper mitigation zone with reduced confluence but adequate historical support. This zone captures: A mitigated OB inside Demand 0.618 Fib retracement from internal BOS Liquidity sweep potential of a broader EQL stack Minor structure support Use only if the market sweeps the primary zone and rebalances deeper. 🔻 Fallback Sell Zone (If Primary Sell fails) Entry: $3,410–$3,415 | SL: > $3,420 | TP: $3,350 Set well above prior resistance, this extended zone aligns with: Extended Supply + Unmitigated OB FVG inside premium OTE zone Recent accumulation liquidity trap (potential fakeout zone) Session mispricing during NY–Asia rollover Use only if price impulsively breaches the $3,400 psychological barrier and stalls near the top of an exhaustion leg. 🌐 Institutional Cross-Validation Citi Group has upgraded its 3-month Gold forecast to $3,500, citing weakening U.S. macro data and elevated inflation expectations as bullish catalysts. Reuters and FXStreet confirm Gold's hold near 1-week highs with sentiment strongly skewed toward continued demand amid Fed rate-cut odds exceeding 90%. TradingView pro charts show confluence with OB/FVG zones at both $3,355 and $3,390, validating both primary zones technically. 📌 Final Notes Action Bias: Aggressively long from $3,350–$3,355 with tight structure-defined invalidation. Hold shorts only from $3,385–$3,390 under strict reversal logic. Risk Reminder: All zones are built from 4H structural flow only. Intraday volatility outside kill zones may distort price behavior — wait for displacements and internal breaks before entering. Manage partials at 1.272 extension and hold runners toward 1.618 only if structure confirms.

Gold (XAU/USD) 4H Institutional Analysis — August 6, 2025As of August 6, 2025 (12:23 UTC), Gold (XAU/USD) is trading around 3,367.60, according to Kitco’s live spot price feed. After a sustained bullish recovery from the 3,320–3,330 demand zone, gold finds itself at a structural inflection point. Institutional footprints across the board — from order blocks to liquidity maps — are signaling one dominant message: the bulls are setting the stage. In today’s breakdown, we deliver a high-conviction execution plan using a fusion of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, and 4H structural dynamics — isolating only the strongest Primary Buy and Sell zones, along with their fallback counterparts. At the center of this framework is our Golden Zone, the most institutionally-aligned, high-probability area of the day. 🔍 Market Structure & Directional Bias The 4-hour chart has shown a clear Change of Character (CHoCH) to the upside after a bullish Break of Structure (BOS) above the 3,355 level. This signals a phase shift from consolidation into accumulation and potential expansion, likely aiming toward the 3,400 psychological magnet and beyond. The presence of volume imbalances, fair value gaps, and unmitigated order blocks across multiple structural layers further supports a bullish directional bias. Liquidity has been swept below previous equal lows (EQL), creating an environment ripe for institutional accumulation. Directional Bias: Transitional → Bullish 🎯 Primary Execution Zones ✅ Primary Buy Zone (Golden Zone) — 3,355 to 3,360 This zone represents the highest-quality long opportunity on the chart today. Sitting in the discount array (below 50% of recent swing), the zone is built on a fresh Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) demand structure formed after a decisive CHoCH. The 3,355–3,360 range aligns with a valid unmitigated Order Block, an embedded Fair Value Gap, and an OTE retracement between 0.705–0.79 Fib levels. Beneath this zone lies a sweepable liquidity pocket just under 3,350, further increasing the magnetism of the area. Entry: 3,355–3,360 Stop Loss: Below 3,350 (liquidity invalidation) Take Profits: TP1: 3,395–3,400 (1.272 extension) TP2: 3,420 (1.618 extension) Confluences: RBR Demand, OB, FVG, OTE, Volume Imbalance, EQL Sweep, Discount Array, Structural Support Kill Zone Timing: London-NY Overlap ✅ Golden Zone of the Day ✅ Primary Sell Zone — 3,395 to 3,400 While the broader bias is bullish, gold remains capped by a strong Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) supply zone around 3,400 — also the 1.272 fib extension from prior bullish legs. A pocket of equal highs (EQH) just above 3,405 serves as a liquidity magnet and stop-loss hunting zone — making this supply level extremely attractive for short-term reversion plays. Entry: 3,395–3,400 Stop Loss: Above 3,405 Take Profits: TP1: 3,360 TP2: 3,350 Confluences: DBD Supply, OB, FVG, OTE Retrace, EQH Sweep, Premium Array, Structural Resistance ⚠️ Secondary Execution Zones (If Primary Fails) 🟢 Fallback Buy Zone — 3,325 to 3,330 If the market manipulates lower and invalidates the primary buy zone with a deep liquidity sweep, this deeper zone offers a second chance. It contains a secondary demand block, a valid FVG, and lies cleanly within a deep discount retracement. SL: Below 3,320 TPs: 3,360 and 3,380 🔴 Fallback Sell Zone — 3,445 to 3,450 If gold breaks cleanly above 3,405, likely invalidating the primary sell idea, the next institutional level of interest is 3,445–3,450 — sitting on a higher timeframe premium OB and major liquidity shelf. SL: Above 3,455 TPs: 3,395 and 3,370 🌐 Institutional Consensus: Bullish Convergence Institutional analysts across major platforms confirm a bullish bias, with targets hovering around the 3,400–3,420 area: Reuters reports that gold is near a one-week high, supported by weaker U.S. data and increased rate-cut bets. MarketPulse highlights the “return of the bulls” amid sustained momentum and light CPI expectations. Citi has raised its medium-term gold target to $3,500, citing negative U.S. macro headwinds. TradersUnion confirms support at 3,320 and resistance at 3,400 — mirroring our execution levels. There is no significant divergence in sentiment or structure, validating today's trade zones with confidence. 📌 Final Thoughts In a liquidity-driven market, price is engineered — not discovered. Today, that engineering points to one thing: 3,355–3,360 is the Golden Zone — the strongest execution area, supported by eight institutional confluences, favorable structure, and widespread sentiment confirmation. Gold has re-entered its institutional kill-box. The next move? Likely engineered to deliver smart money profits while trapping the uninformed. Don’t chase price. Let it come to your zone. Execute with discipline.

Gold Bounces from PRZ — Is a Short-Term Rally Underway?Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) started to rise from the Support zone($3,307-$3,275) as I expected in the previous idea . Gold is currently moving near the Support zone($3,350-$3,326) , Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) , and $3,334 (Important price) . From the Elliott wave theory , it seems that Gold has completed its 5 impulsive waves and now we should wait for corrective waves . Corrective waves can complete at the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) . I expect Gold to rise to $3,383(at least) in the coming hours . Second Target: $3,396 Note: Stop Loss (SL) = $3,321 Gold Analyze (XAUUSD), 1-hour time frame. Be sure to follow the updated ideas.
