Gold Update – Correction Complete, Acceleration Ahead?1. Yesterday’s setup
In yesterday’s update, after reviewing Gold in other currencies and concluding the bigger picture remains bullish, I pointed out that on XAUUSD a correction was normal after Friday’s huge rise. I highlighted the 3350 zone as the level where bulls should look for opportunities.
2. What happened overnight
Overnight, Gold delivered exactly that: a violent drop into 3350, immediately followed by an even more violent reversal that erased the move and spiked price up to 3385.
3. Current situation
At the time of writing, XAUUSD is trading around 3375. With the 3350 low now in place, we can reasonably consider the correction complete.
4. Key levels ahead
For a true bullish confirmation, clearing the 3380–3390 zone is essential . If this breakout occurs, I believe the 3400 level won’t act as much of a resistance, but rather as a point of upward acceleration.
5. Trading plan
My bullish view is unchanged. Buying dips against 3350 remains the strategy. For targets, a reasonable objective — if 3380–3390 gives way — is the 3450 zone.
6. Final note
Gold has shown its hand: buyers are here, defending the key level. Now it’s about confirmation above resistance — once that happens, momentum could take us higher, faster. 🚀

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD 24/8/2025Momentum
• D1 timeframe: Momentum is still rising → High probability that price will continue its bullish move on Monday.
• H4 timeframe: Momentum remains bullish → Price is expected to keep rising early in the week to complete wave (3) in yellow.
• H1 timeframe: Momentum is heading into the oversold zone → The short-term correction is nearing its end, we look for buy opportunities.
Wave Structure
• D1 timeframe: Friday’s strong bullish candle reinforces the scenario that wave (1) and (2) in blue are complete, and wave (3) in blue may already be forming. We need price to break above the top of wave (1) in blue to confirm the development of wave (3).
• H4 timeframe: Price rallied sharply and broke above the top of wave (1) in yellow → This confirms price is currently in wave (3) in yellow. With momentum on H4 still rising, wave (3) likely has more room to continue.
• H1 timeframe: The corrective ABC structure has completed, followed by a sharp and steep rally (as projected in Friday’s plan). Price broke above 3350 – the top of wave (1) in yellow → Confirming the scenario that price is in wave (3) in yellow.
o Minimum target for wave (3) in yellow: 3387.
o Principle: Do not counter-trade wave (3); instead, wait for wave (4) correction to look for buy entries in wave (5).
Trading Strategy
With H1 approaching the oversold zone and showing a mild correction, we have two options for entries:
1. Breakout: Wait for price to break above the small descending trendline as shown on the chart → Enter breakout buy.
2. Pullback entry: Wait for price to retrace to the 3362 area → Buy from there.
Trade Plan:
• Buy Zone: 3364 – 3361
• Stop Loss: 3354
• Take Profit:
o TP1: 3378
o TP2: 3387
o TP3: 3403
GOLD PLAN – Post-Jackson Hole: Correction or Breakout Ahead?Last week, Gold exploded higher after the Jackson Hole Symposium and dovish tones from the FED. The weaker USD fueled bullish momentum, and many investors are now eyeing new ATHs in the near future. But here’s the catch: after such a sharp rally, markets often need a healthy pullback before the next leg higher.
📊 Technical Outlook (H4)
Gold is consolidating inside a tightening triangle structure, signaling that a major breakout is on the horizon.
Friday’s strong bullish candle confirms buyers’ control, but history shows: before every strong breakout, Gold loves to create a deeper liquidity sweep to shake out weak hands.
Key levels from FIBO and previous supply/demand zones will be crucial for decision-making this week.

XAU/USD – M30: Short-Term Pullback Before the Next Move?Gold has shown strong bullish momentum recently, but on the M30 chart price is now retesting the 3376 resistance level, which aligns with a descending trendline. This confluence makes it a critical zone where a temporary pullback may occur before the market decides its next direction.
📊 Technical Outlook (M30)
3376 → Key resistance + trendline retest.
Price may reject this area and retrace back into the FVG Zone (3363 – 3351).
This zone will be crucial for potential long opportunities in line with the broader bullish trend.
📌 Key Levels
Resistance: 3376 – 3383
Support: 3363 – 3351
🔥 Trading Plan (MMFlow Style)
Scenario 1 – Short-Term SELL
Entry: 3375 – 3377
Stop Loss: 3383
Targets: 3363 – 3355 – 3351
Scenario 2 – BUY from FVG Zone
Entry: 3363 – 3351
Stop Loss: 3345
Targets: 3368 – 3375 – 3383 – 3390
⚠️ Risk Notes
This is an M30 setup → best suited for short-term traders.
If price breaks above 3383 with momentum, Gold could quickly push towards 3400+.
Watch out for volatility and stop-hunts, especially around news events – patience and confirmation are key.
✨ Question for the community:
Do you expect Gold to dip into the FVG zone for accumulation 🏦, or will it break 3383 straight away and head for 3400+? 🚀
8/26: Double Top Pattern, Focus on ShortsGood morning, everyone!
Gold rebounded from around 3359 yesterday, but the current pattern shows signs of a double top — suggesting the risk of a larger pullback today.
📌 Support: First watch 3352–3348, then 3343–3337.
📌 Resistance: 3358–3366. If price fails to break above this zone, a second leg lower is likely, with potential tests of the secondary support.
When trading, avoid greed — especially near key support and resistance levels. If your account is under pressure, it’s safer to stay patient and wait for clearer signals before entering, reducing risk and improving success rates.

XAUUSD - 4 hour AnalysisOANDA:XAUUSD has recently shown strong bullish momentum, breaking above short-term structure and printing a CHOCH (Change of Character), suggesting a potential shift toward bullish continuation. However, the impulsive move has left behind an imbalance (large wick + body) that often attracts price back for rebalancing before continuation.
📊 Trade Plan (2-Step Strategy)
Step 1 – Retracement Setup
Expect price to retrace toward 50% of the large bullish wick (around 3,350–3,345).
This aligns with classic ICT rebalancing logic, where large imbalance candles often retrace halfway before continuing.
Potential buy entry can be placed in this zone, with stop loss just below the wick low (~3,323).
Step 2 – Upside Continuation
After the retracement, price is expected to continue upward to retest the CHOCH zone (~3,404–3,408).
This level represents unmitigated supply and a natural liquidity target for institutions.
🎯 Targets
First Target (Retrace Fill): 50% of the wick (~3,345).
Final Target (CHOCH Retest): 3,404 – 3,408 zone.
Gold swept liquidity to the downside, printed a strong bullish candle, and confirmed a CHOCH. The most probable scenario is a short-term retracement to fill 50% of the imbalance before resuming upward to retest the CHOCH supply zone.
XAUUSD Forming Raising TriangleOn the daily chart, gold is consolidating within a rising triangle formation, supported by a trendline that has been respected multiple times since April. This structure demonstrates sustained demand and accumulation. The price action is now inching closer to the upper boundary around the $3,430–$3,450 region. If gold breaks and holds above this critical resistance, the path toward the $3,700–$4,000 zone opens, particularly if positive momentum returns.
Fundamentally, the setup is strongly bullish. The Federal Reserve is increasingly expected to begin cutting rates in September, which would reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold—only 13% chance of a cut has now flipped to an 87% probability. Gold demand remains structurally robust: central banks are aggressively accumulating reserves—1,000+ tonnes are forecasted for 2025, marking the fourth consecutive year of record purchases. Meanwhile, institutional players like Goldman Sachs and UBS are projecting gold to reach \$3,700 by year-end and potentially $4,000 by mid-2026.
Despite short-term price pullbacks due to dollar strength, gold's long-term narrative remains intact. Recent inflows into gold ETFs and recovery from trendline support positions gold well for the next leg higher.

The trend line provides confirmation of bullish structure.

Domestic gold prices increase but international prices decreaseThirteen Wall Street analysts participated in Kitco's gold survey this week, with none calling for a decline. Of those surveyed, eight were bullish on gold for next week. The rest were neutral.
The main argument for the bullish group is the expectation of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, following comments from Chairman Jerome Powell. Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said that after a relatively quiet summer for the gold market, the Fed will help open the door by cutting interest rates through the end of the year.
This will weaken the US dollar, creating a positive environment for gold. In the short term, Hansen said that the precious metal could rise above $3,450 an ounce before investors can revisit April's record high above $3,500.

8/25: Watch Support at 3358–3352, Resistance at 3386–3391Good morning, everyone!
Gold surged strongly last Friday on news headlines. But as I mentioned earlier, such sharp rallies are usually followed by pullbacks. While further upside is possible, without fresh catalysts, the higher it climbs, the greater the risk and scope of a correction. Thus, my bias remains bearish for now.
📌 Support: Watch 3358–3352 first, then 3343–3337. A direct drop to the secondary support is less likely, so if the first support holds, small long attempts may be considered.
📌 Resistance: Initial resistance at 3378–3386, with stronger barriers at 3391–3400. Near 3400, the probability of profitable short trades increases significantly.
Remember: consistent profits don’t come from a single lucky trade but from managing trade frequency, avoiding a gambler’s mindset, and adjusting both strategy and mindset when mistakes occur. Master these, and long-term steady gains become achievable. Stay focused, and learn to truly be in control of your trading.

Gold Shines Bright - Strong Buy Zone XAUUSD Buy Setup – Gold is maintaining strong bullish momentum after holding the 3375 support level. Market sentiment remains positive, with buyers stepping in and pushing price higher. As long as price sustains above 3375, the path of least resistance remains to the upside.
The next bullish targets are set at 3425 and 3450, where we expect potential profit-taking. A break and close above 3425 could accelerate momentum toward 3450. Traders should monitor intraday pullbacks for fresh buying opportunities, keeping stop-losses below the support zone to protect capital.
XAUUSD — Daily Sniper Plan (Aug 25, 2025)Hello traders,
Let’s get ready for tomorrow. Gold is still trading inside a structural range, and liquidity hunts are likely before a decisive move. Here’s the refined roadmap:
🌍 Macro / Geopolitical
Powell’s dovish tone Friday lifted gold; USD remains soft but not broken.
No major US data until Thursday’s Unemployment Claims, so tomorrow is driven mainly by technical flows.
Safe-haven appetite stays supportive in the background.
📊 Bias & Structure
HTF (Daily/H4): Range-bound between 3320 demand and 3450 supply.
LTF (H1/M30/M15): Price sits in premium; expect liquidity sweeps and decision inside FVG.
🧭 Structural Zones
Demand (buy interest):
3340 – 3325 → Intraday demand OB + liquidity sweep.
3310 – 3295 → Deeper discount demand.
Supply (sell interest):
3390 – 3405 → Primary intraday supply (OB + resting liquidity).
3420 – 3440 → HTF supply cluster, strong cap.
📌 Intraday Key Levels
3295 · 3310 · 3325 · 3340 · 3370 · 3395 · 3405 · 3420 · 3440
⚖️ Decision Zone
3370 – 3330 = FVG / Imbalance Zone
This is the battlefield:
Hold top side (3340–3370) → bullish continuation.
Full fill toward 3330 → inducement for deeper demand test.
Market direction for the session will be decided here.
🎯 Trade Scenarios
Bullish 🟢
Longs from 3340–3325 demand → targets 3370 and 3395–3405 supply.
Break & hold above 3405 → continuation toward 3420–3440.
Bearish 🔴
Rejection at 3395–3405 supply → sends price back into 3370, then 3340–3325.
Break below 3325 → exposes 3310–3295.
🔗 Confluences
EMAs: Price above EMA21/EMA50, EMA200 flat → confirms range.
RSI: Neutral-bullish, room for both retracement & extension.
FVGs: Main imbalance at 3370–3330 = decision zone.
✅ Action Plan
Monitor 3370–3330 FVG as the session’s decision zone.
Primary buy: 3340–3325; primary sell: 3395–3405.
Break of either side (3325 or 3405) should define momentum for the day.
💬 Gold is caught inside a clean decision zone — do you see bulls holding 3340 or sellers defending 3405? Drop your thoughts in the comments 👇 If this plan gave you clarity, leave a 🚀🚀🚀 and follow for daily sniper updates.

The Bigger Picture in Gold: A Complete Cross-Market ViewFor directional swing traders, Gold’s summer price action has been particularly challenging. Strong impulsive moves have frequently been followed by tight consolidations and equally strong reversals, making it difficult to capture clean continuation trades.
In such environments, the most effective strategy is often to step back and reassess the broader context.
In this article, I will attempt to do just that — to strip away the noise of short-term fluctuations and focus instead on the bigger picture shaping Gold’s market direction.
XAUUSD on the Weekly Chart
Looking at the weekly timeframe, the beginning of the current uptrend can be traced back to October 2022.
However, it wasn’t until March 2024 that XAUUSD finally broke decisively above the 2000 level. Only after this breakout did the trend accelerate meaningfully to the upside.
From that point, the long-term trend has been clear and technically consistent, with pullbacks and corrections that are typical in such strong advances.
Following the all-time high in late April, XAUUSD entered another corrective phase, and since then the market has been consolidating.
Two key observations stand out:
1. A congestion zone is forming, with both highs and lows tightening over the past four months.
2. An ascending triangle structure is becoming increasingly visible.
On the daily chart, this congestion is even more evident—especially in the past four weeks. Moreover, last week produced an interesting pattern: two strong bullish engulfing candles, the latest triggered by Powell’s remarks on Friday.
Conclusion
In the bigger picture, XAUUSD continues to look bullish as long as price holds above the 3300 level. The consolidation is healthy within the broader uptrend, and the ascending triangle suggests a potential continuation higher once the market resolves this range.
Gold Futures
The picture on Futures is broadly similar, with the uptrend starting in October 2022 and gaining momentum after March 2024. The key distinction here is that the consolidation is forming an ascending triangle, and last Friday’s bullish engulfing candle coincided with a reversal directly off the trendline support.
Note: From my perspective—and I’ve said this before—when I trade Gold, I care about Gold itself as an asset. That’s why I ignore the DXY in my analysis. Instead, I focus on how Gold performs across multiple currencies, which I find far more relevant to understanding its true strength.
XAUEUR
Here as well, the trend is clearly to the upside—confirming what I mentioned earlier: Gold has strengthened regardless of the currency it is priced in.
Over the past month, a well-defined support has formed around 2840. Last week, price action confirmed that level with a strong bullish engulfing candle, followed by two consecutive bullish pin bars.
XAUGBP
The picture is very similar to XAUEUR: the uptrend remains intact, with a clear support base forming. Last week’s price action delivered a bullish engulfing candle followed by a double bullish pin bar, reinforcing the case for continued strength.
XAUJPY
When it comes to the yen, the chart tells a different story. The series of all-time highs began back in 2022, driven not only by Gold’s global strength but mostly by the yen’s pronounced weakness.
Over the past year, price action has remained contained within an ascending channel. While the structure differs from other Gold crosses, it nevertheless continues to suggest underlying strength.
In conclusion, the overall, the bigger picture remains bullish for Gold as long as key supports hold, with the potential for continuation once current consolidations resolve.
Gold is trading above its key SMA/EMA (20-200)Technical portrait today
General signal: opinions on the XAU/USD instrument are moderately bullish. On Investing.com — Strong Buy on most timeframes. According to medium-term and long-term moving averages: 11 “Buy” signals and only one “Sell”, also a significant advantage in the indicators in favor of “Strong Buy”.
Trend: gold is trading above its key SMA/EMA (20–200), which supports the bullish structure. RSI is in the ~70 area, MACD — Buy, ADX — Buy, which confirms the strength of the bullish momentum.
Support and resistance levels
Price boundaries for today:
Support: $3,310–3,270 — a critical zone; a breakout here may initiate a correction.
Resistance: $3,360–3,410 — a zone where a local pause or rebound is possible.
Stock Forecast
Today's forecast is a slight increase to ≈ $3,375, with further potential to $3,412 by the end of the week. Bullish sentiment remains.
Macro and analytics from banks
RBC Capital Markets remain optimistic: they believe that gold can reach $3,722 by Q4 2025 and $3,813 by the end of 2026 in the base case, remaining above $3,100-3,500.
Goldman Sachs also forecasts growth: to $3,700 by the end of 2025, and $4,000 by mid-2026, especially under the drive of ETF investments and central bank demand.
At the same time, HSBC warns of weakening momentum: a pullback is possible, especially if physical demand decreases and the positive sentiment regarding the Fed slows
Gold sideways, unclear trend, needs more momentum✏️Gold has reacted at the Trendline and created another decline to Fibonacci 0.382. Buying power is still strong enough to pull H4 back above 3331. It is difficult to determine the next trend of Gold at the moment. Gold is sideways in a fairly narrow range and waiting for more momentum to confirm the trend. The areas of interest are still the Fibonacci zones that cross each hook to reach the next hook. Note that H4 closes below 3331 to confirm a bearish reversal to 3285.
📉 Key Levels
BUY trigger: Price breaks the trendline and Fibonacci at 3345.
BUY DCA: Breaks 3358 with candle confirmation
Target 3400
SELL trigger H4 closes below 3331
Target 3285

3330 Keys to Today's Strategy✏️The weekend gold trading strategy has not changed much. mainly based on the 2 border zones of the box from 3359 to 3330. The weak upward momentum in recent days makes gold easy to fall on the weekend. The 3330 zone is still a very special zone and wait for clear confirmation from the candle to trade to avoid False break. Be careful not to trade against the trend with the BUY signal when the 3330 zone is broken, the reaction of the buyers is very likely to come to the 3303 zone.
📉 Key Levels
SELL trigger Break and trading bellow 3330
Target 3285
