Gold (XAU/USD) Analysis - 22 August 2025Gold continues to trade within a high-volatility range, and today’s structure provides us with very clear execution zones validated across the Daily, 4H, and 1H timeframes. By blending price action, order flow, and institutional concepts, we can refine both the buy and sell areas that carry the highest probability of delivering asymmetric returns. Macro Context (Daily) The daily chart maintains a bullish undertone as higher-lows remain intact, and price continues to defend key demand blocks. That said, the upper range resistance around the $3360–$3380 area has capped recent rallies, leaving the market positioned between a strong daily demand base and significant supply overhead. Swing Structure (4H) On the 4H, gold is consolidating between a fresh demand block at $3318–$3324 and a supply block at $3356–$3362. This consolidation aligns perfectly with premium/discount zones of the current 4H range, giving us clarity on where institutional flows are likely to engage. Execution Refinement (1H) The 1H chart adds precision: A bullish FVG and demand overlap sit at $3320, creating inducement for long entries. Above, clear liquidity is resting just beyond $3355 and again near $3380, prime zones for potential stop-runs and reversals. Momentum indicators (RSI/MACD) show hidden bullish divergence at demand and early exhaustion at supply — adding weight to both sides of the range. Execution Zones Primary Buy Zone (Golden Zone) → $3318 – $3324 Entry: $3322 | SL: $3312 | TP1: $3345 | TP2: $3360 Confluence: Daily demand OB + 4H discount zone + 1H FVG + RSI divergence. Secondary Buy Zone → $3302 – $3308 Entry: $3306 | SL: $3296 | TP1: $3328 | TP2: $3340 Confluence: Deep retracement into 61.8% Fib + untapped 4H OB + liquidity sweep potential. Primary Sell Zone → $3356 – $3362 Entry: $3359 | SL: $3369 | TP1: $3342 | TP2: $3325 Confluence: Daily resistance + 4H supply OB + premium zone + liquidity inducement above $3355. Secondary Sell Zone → $3378 – $3384 Entry: $3381 | SL: $3391 | TP1: $3360 | TP2: $3335 Confluence: Major untested daily supply + 4H imbalance + stop-run liquidity. Executive Summary The clearest asymmetric opportunity lies in the Primary Buy Zone at $3318–$3324, which aligns across Daily, 4H, and 1H with multiple layers of confluence. This zone provides tight risk control with substantial upside toward $3360. Until we see a decisive break of either the $3300 handle or the $3380 resistance, expect gold to remain range-bound with sharp liquidity grabs at both extremes. Institutional order flow favors a buy-the-dip bias within demand zones, while rallies into supply should be approached with tactical shorts. Golden Zone = Buy $3318 – $3324 (best confluence: demand OB + FVG + RSI divergence + structural HL defense)

8/21: Sell High and Buy Low Within the 3358–3332 RangeGood morning, everyone! Gold rallied strongly yesterday. On the 4H chart, bulls still show upward momentum, but price has now entered the key 3352–3358 resistance zone. On the 30M chart, divergence signals are emerging, suggesting that the higher gold climbs, the greater the risk of a pullback. During a retracement, watch support at 3343–3337–3332. In the short term, consider trading within the 3358–3332 range by selling near resistance and buying near support, while closely monitoring support/resistance flips. If bulls sustain momentum and break above 3358, the 3363–3378 zone offers a relatively safer area to look for short setups.

Gold hits resistance, Sell nowShort-term factors impacting the decline in gold prices: 1: The Russia-Ukraine situation has returned to the negotiating table under Trump's leadership. 2: At the Jackson Hole annual meeting, the market is almost unanimous in its belief that Powell will deliver hawkish remarks. 3: Both gold and silver ETFs have seen reductions in holdings. 4: Gold is under obvious technical pressure. From the 1-hour chart, we can clearly see a downward trend line for gold prices. After repeatedly touching this trend line, gold prices have fallen. Now that it's near this trend line again, I believe it's a good time to sell. 🏆The operation settings are as follows: 📉📉📉Sell around 3345-3350 ✅Target 1: 3330 ✅Target 2: 3320 ✅Target 3: 3310 📣If you have different opinions, please leave a message below to discuss

Gold (XAU/USD) 21st August 2025Gold continues to trade within a critical range, where institutional footprints are leaving clear supply and demand imbalances. Today’s outlook blends the Daily (macro bias), 4H (swing structure), and 1H (execution refinement) to deliver execution-ready trading zones. 🔵 Demand Side (Buy Zones) Primary Buy Zone: $3325 – $3332 This zone represents the highest-probability demand for bulls. On the 4H chart, a fresh bullish order block was created after a clean break of structure, and the 1H confirms liquidity sweeps of prior lows alongside a fair value gap. Momentum indicators add confluence, with RSI resetting near 40 and OBV spiking during the last rally. Execution Plan: Buy around $3330 with stops below $3320. Targets are $3362 and $3380. Secondary Buy Zone: $3300 – $3308 If the first demand fails, deeper liquidity pools sit near $3300. This level coincides with discount pricing of the recent impulse leg and untapped demand on the Daily chart. Equal lows and a large liquidity cluster make this zone attractive for a potential accumulation before any further rally. Execution Plan: Buy around $3305 with stops below $3292. Targets are $3340 and $3360. 🔴 Supply Side (Sell Zones) Primary Sell Zone (Golden Zone): $3365 – $3372 This is today’s strongest supply area and the nominated Golden Zone. A fresh 4H bearish order block, aligned with a fair value gap and liquidity above recent highs, creates a high-probability rejection point. On lower timeframes, bearish divergence on MACD and expanding ATR volatility confirm the risk of a downside move. Execution Plan: Sell around $3368 with stops above $3378. Targets are $3342 and $3328. Secondary Sell Zone: $3388 – $3395 Should momentum overshoot the primary supply, $3390 offers another key resistance. This area represents extreme premium pricing of the current leg and overlaps with an untested supply block. Liquidity from prior double tops rests above this zone, while RSI shows signs of overbought conditions. Execution Plan: Sell around $3392 with stops above $3402. Targets are $3360 and $3340. 🟡 Executive Summary – Golden Zone The Primary Sell Zone ($3365 – $3372) stands out as the highest-probability setup of the day. With strong alignment across Daily, 4H, and 1H charts, this area combines: Fresh institutional supply, Liquidity resting above highs, Fair value gap imbalance, Bearish divergence on momentum indicators. The structure favors a controlled short with a tight invalidation point at $3378. Plan of the Day: Short from $3368 with targets at $3342 and $3328. Final Note: Always manage risk with discipline. Zones highlight institutional footprints, but execution must adapt to live order flow and market conditions.

XAUUSD Safe-Haven Flows Could Trigger Bullish Move in GoldI’m currently analyzing XAUUSD (Gold) 🪙✨, which appears to be significantly oversold 📉 and now trading into a prior bullish imbalance zone ⚖️ — an area where price could begin to rebalance. This level is particularly important, as it has acted as a key reaction point multiple times in the past 📊. With gold being overextended and signs of weakness emerging in the stock markets 📉📉, my view is that capital could rotate into safe-haven assets 🛡️, potentially fueling a gold rally 🚀. I’ll be watching for a bullish break of structure 🔍 as a signal to enter long. (Not financial advice.)

8/19: Watch Support at 3328-3323 and Look for Buying OpportunitiGood evening, everyone! Gold remains range-bound between 3323–3348. On the 30M chart, the key resistance is clustered at 3337–3343, while support stays at 3328–3323. On the 2H chart, the structure remains suppressed, but the bullish divergence on indicators hasn’t been fully corrected yet. Two possible scenarios may unfold: 1️⃣ Price breaks below 3323 first, triggering a stronger rebound; 2️⃣ Support holds, leading to an immediate push higher toward the 3348–3352–3358 resistance zone. Either way, the medium-term bias favors the upside. Trading strategy: prioritize buying on dips, selling on highs as secondary. ⚠️ Note: If your account is under pressure, it’s safer to wait for clearer signals rather than rushing in. For detailed guidance, feel free to reach out.

XAUUSD:Continue shorting at high levels to profit.Gold prices did not significantly break through their upper limits yesterday. The London market began its downward trend. New York markets extended their decline after opening, hitting a low of 3326. The meeting is almost over, but there has been no progress. The market has digested the expected gold price trend and is currently rebounding. However, if further news is released, gold prices may fall further. Consider selling between 3345 and 3340.

XAUUSD 15m – EW Short SetupHi fellow traders, On the 15m XAUUSD chart, I am applying Elliott Wave principles to identify a short opportunity. The current structure suggests a continuation to the downside after the corrective move. An additional confluence here is the red-shaded supply zone, which aligns with my projected entry area and strengthens the setup. I am entering at 3347.26, with a Stop Loss at 3351.87 and a Take Profit at 3322.53, targeting the next support level. Good luck and trade safe.

XAUUSD: Buy low, sell high in volatile marketYesterday's strategy hit its stop-loss, primarily because the entry point was too early. If the entry point had been at 3330, support would have been stronger. Now the gold price has once again fallen back to around 3330, you can consider entering the market again. Recently, gold prices have been volatile due to a reduction in risk aversion following talks between Trump and European leaders, including Putin and Zelensky, on ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, without a substantive agreement, gold prices will not experience a significant decline in the short term and will primarily fluctuate within support and resistance ranges. Upper resistance is at 3355, while lower support is at 3325. A break of either level will break the volatile trend in gold prices. In terms of operation, you can rely on resistance and support to sell high and buy low.

Institutional Gold Analysis (XAU/USD) – 19 August 2025Gold prices are consolidating in a narrow range near $3,331, reflecting a transitional market phase as traders await fresh direction from the Federal Reserve’s upcoming Jackson Hole summit. The prevailing bias leans mildly bearish in the short term, with USD strength and higher yields capping upside momentum, while underlying safe-haven demand continues to provide structural support. From a 4-Hour institutional perspective, price action currently sits at the midpoint of an internal range, offering clearly defined liquidity pools both above and below. This creates an environment where institutional flows are likely to engineer sweeps into key supply and demand zones before a decisive expansion phase begins. Primary Institutional Zones Primary Buy Zone ($3,320–$3,325) The dominant area of interest for buyers lies within $3,320–$3,325, a well-defined discount zone that combines multiple layers of institutional confluence. This level is supported by a Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) demand zone, a fresh unmitigated order block, and a fair value gap formed during recent displacement. The retracement aligns perfectly with the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Fibonacci band (0.705–0.79), while liquidity pools at equal lows (EQL) provide the setup for a sweep before reversal. From here, upside targets extend first to the structural resistance at $3,348, and further towards $3,372 — the 1.272 Fibonacci extension of the last impulsive leg. Primary Sell Zone ($3,345–$3,350) On the supply side, the clearest short opportunity emerges between $3,345–$3,350, which has been validated as a Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) supply zone. This area overlaps with a fresh order block and fair value gap, while resting in the premium half of the internal swing. Equal highs (EQH) clustered at this level signal an ideal liquidity grab, with displacement likely to follow during London/New York Kill Zone overlap. Downside targets from this zone first revisit $3,331, with extended projections toward $3,295 (Fib 1.272 extension). Fallback Levels Should the primary zones be invalidated through manipulative displacement or deeper liquidity hunts, fallback areas are defined: Fallback Buy Zone ($3,310–$3,315): This deeper demand pocket provides secondary positioning if the primary buy zone fails, offering a structural base for recovery back into $3,325–$3,348. Fallback Sell Zone ($3,360–$3,365): If price sweeps beyond the primary sell zone, this extended premium region becomes the next institutional supply area, targeting retracements back to $3,350–$3,331. Golden Zone Nomination Of all identified zones, the Primary Sell Zone ($3,345–$3,350) emerges as the Golden Zone of the day. It represents the highest-probability, institution-grade setup due to its multi-layered confluence, liquidity alignment, and Kill Zone overlap. With the market capped below $3,350 in recent sessions, this level offers the most favorable balance of risk and reward for intraday execution. Institutional Confirmation Cross-validation with external institutional sources strengthens this bias. Reuters confirms gold’s range-bound behavior ahead of the Fed’s Jackson Hole summit, while FXStreet highlights fading bullish momentum near $3,330. TradingNews also reinforces the significance of the $3,348–$3,350 cap as resistance, perfectly aligning with our Sell Zone. Together, these insights support the transitional-to-bearish outlook, while acknowledging that long-term structural demand from central banks remains intact. Conclusion In summary, gold remains trapped between defined liquidity pools, awaiting a catalyst for directional expansion. For today, the Primary Sell Zone ($3,345–$3,350) stands out as the Golden Zone, offering the most institutionally aligned short opportunity with multiple confirmations. Meanwhile, the Primary Buy Zone ($3,320–$3,325) provides a structurally valid counterpoint should liquidity sweep lower. Until the Fed’s policy guidance becomes clear, traders should expect range-bound behavior with engineered liquidity grabs during London and New York sessions, best exploited by targeting the defined high-probability institutional zones.

XAUUSD:On August 19thOn August 19th, the news was light. The focus was on the meeting between the US and Russia and the phone call between Ukraine and the US president. The specifics of the discussion are unknown, but it seems to have led to some large orders as a safeguard for Ukraine in the future. Market-wise, gold prices remained in a narrow range, seemingly awaiting the interest rate decision. Since the Asian session, gold prices have been hovering between 3330 and 3340, with no significant gains or losses. Trading opportunities are slim. It seems that whether or not this interest rate cut will have a significant impact. Trading-wise, market sentiment is crucial. Selling high is reasonable, at least between today and tomorrow's data update. Also, when trading, it's important to monitor whether the US dollar index continues its downward trend. If so, gold prices could rebound slightly above 3,350 in the short term. If the US dollar index stops falling, the probability of profiting from shorting increases by approximately 30%. The trading strategy at the Swing Trading Center primarily focuses on selling high. Remember to manage risk during trading. Set stop-loss and take-profit targets to prevent sudden, one-sided declines or surges that could wipe out your account.

GOLD: 5:1 R/R Setup - Support Hold Entry vs. Breakout PlayI'm sharing my expectations for Gold's movement this week. 📈 The lower yellow horizontal line shown below is a level that held strong twice last week. 💪 I expect this line to hold one more time, followed by a move up to the upper yellow horizontal line. The upper yellow line represents a zone where price repeatedly formed highs last week. 🔄 My thesis is that we'll likely see a move that sweeps the stop losses from the highs marked by the white circles. ⭕ These short-term stop losses often get triggered before price reverses in the opposite direction — a common market dynamic. 🔄 **📍 Entry Strategies:** 🟢 **Primary Setup**: The cleanest entry would be confirmation that the current price level holds, with the lower yellow horizontal line acting as support. ⚡ **Alternative Setup**: However, depending on how price develops, we might not see a clear role reversal pattern before the upward move begins. In that case, a stop entry above resistance would be preferable. **⚠️ Risk Management:** 🛑 Regardless of entry method, if price breaks below the current low after entry, that's where I'd place my stop loss. When the thesis breaks, you cut the trade — that's my approach, at least. ❌ If we see the current low getting broken with continued downward momentum, the risk-to-reward ratio would deteriorate, and I'd skip the trade entirely. I typically target setups with at least a 5:1 risk-to-reward ratio, though each trader should determine their own minimum threshold. 🎯 📈 **This trade setup offers a risk-to-reward ratio of 5:1.** Without including fees, the breakeven win rate for this trade would be approximately 16.67%. Knowing these figures in advance helps me avoid emotional trading. 🧠 💡 **Pro Tip**: If you often find yourself trading based on emotions, I recommend doing this type of pre-planning and quantifying your setups before execution — it can be a simple yet highly effective improvement. ✅ --- **Trading is simple.** You don't need multiple indicators or dozens of lines on your chart. A clean and simple chart often works best — it keeps your decisions consistent and reduces uncertainty. Sure, it might not look flashy, and my analysis may seem a bit "plain" compared to others… but that's how I like it. If you find this analysis useful, feel free to follow me for more updates. --- *Disclaimer: This post is for general informational and educational purposes only.
