Gold at a Turning Point: Will PCE Data Trigger the Next Breakout🟡 XAUUSD PLAN UPDATE – MMFlow Trading
📰
Fundamental Context
Later today, traders are watching the US PCE Price Index – the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge.
Forecast: unchanged from the previous reading, which means no major inflation pressure.
If the data comes in slightly stronger for the USD, gold could face short-term downside pressure before bouncing.
Pre-news behaviour often includes liquidity grabs around key levels before the real move begins.
📊 Technical Outlook (M15)
Gold is trading inside a descending channel with several important zones:
Resistance / Supply:
3414.3 → short-term cap.
3424 – 3425 → strong supply zone.
Support / Demand:
3394.4 → interim support.
3384.3 → key demand zone.
3375.6 → structural support, trend pivot.
3363.0 → last line of defence if breakdown occurs.
🎯 Trading Scenarios (Pre & Post PCE)
1️⃣ Bullish Bias (primary scenario)
Holding above 3384 – 3375 suggests a rebound.
Break of 3414 opens the door to 3424 – 3425.
A clean break above 3425 could extend the bullish leg towards 3435+.
2️⃣ Bearish Scenario (if USD strengthens)
Failure at 3414 – 3420 may trigger a pullback towards 3384 – 3375.
A decisive break below 3375 risks further downside into 3363.
📍 Trade Plan (Guidance Only)
Buy zone: 3384 – 3375 (with confirmation signals).
Sell zone: 3414 – 3425 (short-term trades only, especially pre-news).
Stops: 5–7$ beyond key levels.
Targets: 10–20$ depending on risk appetite.
✅ Conclusion
Ahead of PCE: expect gold to accumulate within the channel, hunting liquidity.
After PCE: if data is slightly USD-positive, gold may dip into 3384 – 3375 before resuming its broader bullish path.
The overall bias remains bullish while above 3375 – 3363.
Whether gold can hold steady at 3400 is the keyThe current market is bullish, primarily due to the developments surrounding Trump's proposed firing of Cook. Of the seven members of the Federal Reserve Board, three already support a rate cut: Bowman, Milan, and Waller. With the addition of another supporter, Trump's goal would be achieved. If Cook were to be fired and a more compliant candidate were to be promoted, the rate cut would be achieved, but the Fed's independence would also be undermined.
The dollar, US stocks, and US Treasuries would all be affected, and gold, the best safe-haven asset, would inevitably soar.
Today, we're focusing on two levels: 3400 and 3380.
If gold can stabilize above 3400 OANDA:XAUUSD , it's likely to head towards 3430-3450. At that point, you could consider buying around 3400.
Conversely, if it can't hold above 3400, it could test support at 3380. As long as it doesn't fall below 3380, it would be a good buying opportunity.
Good luck to everyone💪

XAU/USD — All Eyes on US Data, Gold Ready for a Big Move!
Gold continues to hold strong buying pressure despite the recovery of the USD (DXY). The market is now waiting for today’s key US economic releases during the New York session:
📊 USD Prelim GDP q/q → Forecast: 3.1% (Prev. 3.0%)
📊 USD Unemployment Claims → Forecast: 231K (Prev. 235K)
🔎 Possible Scenarios
1️⃣ If US data comes out strong → Gold could break down from the rising channel, targeting the VPOC 3374, and with heavier pressure even dip towards the 335x zone (though this might be harder to achieve).
2️⃣ If US data is weak / neutral → Gold is likely to continue its bullish leg, aiming at 3392 – 3398 and potentially extending to 342x – 343x to retest the previous ATH.
📌 Key Levels to Watch
Resistance: 3398 – 3400 → breakout could fuel a quick rally into 342x – 343x
Support: 3374 → break below opens room to 335x
Buy Zone: Watching for a sharp dip into 335x – 337x for clean long setups
🎯 MMFLOW Strategy
👉 Priority remains: wait for a liquidity grab / sharp dip to BUY in line with the broader trend.
👉 Be cautious — with this being the main economic release of the week, volatility can spike aggressively when the numbers hit.
🔥 What do you think?
Will Gold break higher into new ATHs, or will we see a liquidity sweep first before the next leg up?

Gold (XAU/USD) Technical Outlook - 29 August 2025Gold remains in a highly reactive zone, with price currently consolidating near the $3410 handle. Institutional order flow shows a battle between bulls defending discount demand zones and bears attempting to exploit premium supply levels. By combining Daily, 4H, and 1H confluences, today’s analysis outlines the most execution-ready buy and sell zones with defined entries, stop-loss levels, and profit targets.
🔹 Primary Buy Zone – $3388 to $3396
This is the highest-probability demand area for today. On the Daily timeframe, the zone sits within a deep discount region of the last bullish leg, aligning with the broader macro bias. The 4H chart reveals a fresh, unmitigated bullish order block, while the 1H structure confirms a BOS (Break of Structure) and liquidity sweep beneath equal lows.
Momentum indicators support this view — RSI is approaching oversold levels, and MACD momentum is shifting bullish. Volume also highlights absorption, suggesting institutional accumulation.
Entry: $3392
SL: $3384
TP1: $3415
TP2: $3428
🔹 Secondary Buy Zone – $3365 to $3372
If the primary demand fails, the next strong support sits around $3365–$3372. This zone overlaps with a Daily breaker block and coincides with the 50% retracement of the previous swing leg. On 4H, liquidity is pooled just below $3370, while 1H imbalance (FVG) aligns with demand.
RSI divergence also strengthens the bullish probability here.
Entry: $3368
SL: $3358
TP1: $3390
TP2: $3410
🔹 Primary Sell Zone – $3425 to $3435
This is the strongest intraday supply zone. On the Daily timeframe, price approaches a premium level of the current retracement, while 4H charts show a fresh supply zone formed from institutional distribution. The 1H chart reveals liquidity buildup above $3428, creating an engineered high.
RSI is flashing bearish divergence at this level, with volume showing prior rejection and imbalance — confirming potential sell-side pressure.
Entry: $3430
SL: $3438
TP1: $3410
TP2: $3395
🔹 Secondary Sell Zone – $3448 to $3458
This zone sits higher, acting as a fallback supply level. It overlaps with a Weekly supply zone, while 4H structure confirms old consolidation highs resting here. If tapped, price is likely to engineer liquidity before displacement. ATR also shows exhaustion at this level, making it a potential reversal point.
Entry: $3453
SL: $3463
TP1: $3430
TP2: $3410
🏆 Executive Summary – Golden Zone
The Primary Buy Zone ($3388–$3396) is nominated as today’s Golden Zone. This area aligns with Daily discount, 4H unmitigated demand, and 1H structural confirmation. With multiple confluences (order block, BOS, liquidity sweep, RSI, MACD), it presents the highest reward-to-risk opportunity.
Golden Execution Idea:
Buy $3392 → SL $3384 → TP $3428 (≈1:4 RR)
Final Thoughts
Gold is currently positioned at a critical juncture, with well-defined buy and sell zones framing today’s opportunities. Traders should stay disciplined, execute only on confirmed setups, and remain aware of liquidity manipulation around key levels. The $3388–$3396 Golden Zone offers the most institutionally aligned trade for today, but alternative supply and demand levels provide structured backup scenarios.

XAUUSD 15m – EW Short SetupHi fellow traders,
On the 15m XAUUSD chart, I am applying Elliott Wave principles to capture a potential short move. Price action is unfolding within an ending diagonal pattern, and I am anticipating the final leg down as wave (v).
Additional confluence is provided by the red-shaded supply zone, which coincides with the projected entry area and strengthens the probability of a reversal at this level.
I am entering at 3335.37, with a Stop Loss at 3345.30 serving as the invalidation level. My Take Profit is set at 3307.64, targeting the next key support area.
Good luck and trade safe.
XAUUSD 1H – EW Bearish Scenario Hi fellow traders,
On the 1h XAUUSD chart, I am applying Elliott Wave principles to outline a potential expanding flat scenario, forming either as an X-wave or a B-wave. If this count holds, I expect another leg to the downside before the larger structure completes.
The red-shaded supply zone provides a potential rejection area, while the blue-shaded demand zone below marks where price could stabilize. Most importantly, the golden box beneath remains untested, aligning with my expectation that price will revisit this key support zone before a stronger reversal.
For this setup, my entry is positioned around the supply zone, with a Take Profit aimed at the golden box below. The Stop Loss is placed at the invalidation level, meaning the trade idea is no longer valid if price breaks above this structure.
Although the broader sentiment may lean bullish, this bearish scenario remains technically supported by Elliott Wave structure and confluence levels.
Good luck and trade safe.

price is making HH/HL on the daily 4h and 1h time frames so overall im bullish. There is a 1h FVG formed and HL acting as SSl that is being tested, so if price closes above HL i will look for internal structure on the 5m to target BSL around 3409 but if price closes under HL it can come to test lower SSL around 3385 before continuing up
The gold rally is not over yet, stabilizing at 3400 is the keyThis week, Trump once again severely undermined the independence of the Federal Reserve. He has been attacking Chairman Powell for months and now threatens to fire Fed Governor Tim Cook. His actions are all part of his quest to pressure the Fed into cutting interest rates, ultimately forcing his will and ultimately achieving a rate cut, perhaps even a larger one.
Influenced by the Fed's independence and the expectation of rate cuts, gold prices have continued to rise this week, approaching the high of 3,400 points.
I personally believe that as long as gold doesn't fall below 3,350, it's only a matter of time before it breaks above 3,400.
From the 1-hour chart, we can clearly see that gold is steadily rising, supported by the trend line. Buying on a pullback to the trend line is a good opportunity, with a take-profit and stop-loss in place, presents a significant profit opportunity.
Currently, the optimal buying range for gold is between 3,365 and 3,375 OANDA:XAUUSD , with a target price of $10-20 and a stop-loss of $10.
