XAGUSD – Clean Break of Structure + RSI Divergence Reversal-15M Price formed bullish RSI divergence at the lows, signaling early reversal strength. Market shifted from Lower Highs (LH) to Higher Lows (HL), confirming a trend change. Price reclaimed key EMAs and has now printed a clean Higher High (HH). A 1H Fair Value Gap (FVG) was filled, adding confluence for bullish continuation. Momentum remains strong as candles stay above the short-term moving averages . Trade Plan Buy Zone: 51.28 – 51.32 Take-Profit (TP): 51.836 Stop-Loss (SL): 50.806 Why This Setup Makes Sense Strong bullish structure shift after divergence. Fresh HH confirms continuation bias. Clear path to 51.836 liquidity zone. EMAs aligned for bullish momentum. Invalidation Break below 50.806 invalidates the bullish structure and cancels the setup.

XAU/USD WILL CONTINUE TO SOAR FOLLOWING RATE CUTS UNCERTAINTYGold prices fell in early Tuesday trading before rebounding from a one-week low, holding just above the key $4,000 support level. The precious metal continues to face headwinds stemming from diminishing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut rates in December. With the reopening of the US government, economic data releases will resume — including the delayed September Non-Farm Payrolls — leaving investors more uncertain and prompting them to price in lower odds of another Fed rate cut before year-end.

The projected time cycles align with two high-probability windows—13:40 and 15:15—where accelerated momentum is expected.

Saudi–U.S.$1 Trillion Investment Deal Dim Gold’s Safe-Haven GlowGold is trading around 4,094, under pressure from a confluence of macro trends: increasing risk-off sentiment, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and geopolitical or economic developments (including your mentioned U.S.–Saudi deal). These factors are aligning in a way that could drive a further decline toward your target near 4,010. Key Fundamental Themes: Dollar Strength Is Working Against Gold A firmer U.S. dollar is reducing gold’s appeal. As the dollar appreciates, gold becomes more expensive for non-USD holders, which often suppresses demand. Risk-Off Sentiment Pulling Flows Despite gold often being seen as a safe-haven, the current risk-off environment is paradoxically pressuring it. Investors are rotating and reducing exposure in riskier—and even non-yielding—assets as they recalibrate liquidity and macro risk. Geopolitical / Strategic Impact (U.S.–Saudi Deal) The large-scale deal you referenced between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia may be contributing to stronger dollar flows, strengthening the greenback and weighing on gold. This dynamic can tighten liquidity for gold as capital shifts. Structural Macro Weakness The macro backdrop may not be favorable for gold’s classic bull thesis right now. Inflation, interest rate policy, or rate-cut uncertainty could be making gold less attractive versus other hedges. Limited Near-Term Safe-Haven Bid With previous support around 4,056 under strain, the path to 4,010 looks increasingly credible if the structural and macro pressures persist. The break of current support could open the way for a deeper slide in the absence of fresh tailwinds. Bearish Thesis (Toward 4,010) Given the strengthening dollar, any bounce in gold may be muted or quickly sold into, especially if market participants lean into the U.S. currency’s safe-haven strength. The deal with Saudi Arabia and associated macro effects might be reinforcing dollar dominance for now, limiting gold’s cushioning as a store of value. If gold breaks below 4,056, it would validate weakness in its technical/macro structure and likely accelerate toward 4,010, aligning with your target zone. Continued risk-off sentiment could paradoxically hurt gold if investors prefer more liquid, yield-bearing assets or move into other hedges. Risks to Your Bearish View A sudden reversal in dollar strength, perhaps triggered by dovish central bank communication or weaker U.S. data, could relieve pressure on gold. A geopolitical shock or crisis could reignite safe-haven flows into gold, offsetting bearish flows. If global central banks continue or accelerate their gold buying, it could provide a structural floor against deeper declines

Gold Forms Inverted Head & Shoulders: Reversal Signal!After a short-term corrective decline, the $4,000 level has triggered strong BUY momentum, creating a clear price rebound at the end of yesterday's session. The increase in buying volume indicates that the BUY side is returning to the market after several sessions of being pushed down. 📊 Prominent Technical Structure On the 2H chart, gold is completing the Inverted Head & Shoulders pattern – one of the strongest bullish reversal patterns. • Head: liquidity bottom at 4,00x • Two shoulders: forming symmetrically with good bounce • Neckline: area 4,101–4,102, currently a key resistance Price is likely to: 1️⃣ Slightly adjust to the neckline area or BUY ZONE 4,044–4,046 2️⃣ Retest – Accumulate – Confirm breakout 3️⃣ Break out towards 4,146 → 4,187 when the pattern is complete 🎯 Short-term Expectations Volatility may increase ahead of upcoming economic data, so the reasonable strategy remains: ✅ Prioritize BUY according to the pattern • Wait for retest of neckline or area 4,044–4,046 • Observe confirmation force (Volume – Momentum – Rejection) • Target towards 4,146 → 4,187 if the pattern is activated ⚠️ Note – The reversal trend is only truly confirmed when the price clearly breaks the 4,101–4,102 area. – Market sentiment currently leans towards recovery, but clear signals are needed before entering large (long-term HOLD) positions.

S&P 500: At a Technical CrossroadsThe S&P 500 index (the S&P 500 futures contract in this analysis) is currently at a decisive technical inflection point. After several months of sustained progress since the March/April decline, prices are now retesting a key area where several dynamic supports converge: the daily Ichimoku cloud, the 50-day moving average (SMA 50) and, lower down, the 200-day moving average (SMA 200), which meets the former all-time high of 6,150 points. This confluence of indicators makes the current period a true moment of technical truth for the U.S. equity market and the GAFAM stocks. The first element to monitor is the holding of the Ichimoku cloud on the daily timeframe, which has so far acted as a support zone during consolidations. A clear break below this structure would be significant: it would indicate the loss of medium-term bullish momentum and open the door to a deeper correction, similar to the technical scenario that occurred at the end of last February. In the event of a breakdown, a pullback toward 6,200 points appears plausible. This corresponds to the area of the former all-time high of the S&P 500 — now a major support — and represents the most coherent technical pivot for a correction lasting several sessions. At this stage, this support has not been broken, so its breach should not be anticipated; only the daily close matters. The current configuration is also accompanied by weakening momentum indicators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been declining for several weeks, confirming a classic bearish divergence at the end of a trend. All this occurs in a context of very high valuations for the S&P 500, with multiples leaving little room for error and making the index more vulnerable to technical adjustments. When fundamentals are stretched, chart levels play a pivotal role: a bearish technical signal can trigger a rapid realignment of prices toward more fundamentally sustainable levels. For now, buyers remain in control as long as the price stays above the cloud and the SMA 50. But the zone being tested right now potentially represents the last line of defense before a more pronounced correction. The market is therefore truly at a crossroads: either a valid rebound resumes the bullish trend, or a breakdown opens the way for a return toward 6,200 points, a major level for the underlying long-term uptrend.

Defensive money returns to GOLD as US labor data worsensOANDA:XAUUSD prices maintained a slight decline in the Asian session, trading around $4,075/ounce as the market turned its attention to the Fed meeting minutes. The upside momentum is weakening, but downside pressure remains limited as money flows continue to seek support from the prospect of easing policy. New data from ADP reinforces the view that the US labor market is losing momentum. The private sector lost an average of 2,500 jobs a week in the four weeks to November 1, as a host of large companies from Amazon to Target announced plans to cut staff. A report from Challenger showed the number of planned layoffs in October was the highest in more than two decades. Jobless claims rose to 1.9 million, and data from the Cleveland Fed showed 39,000 layoff announcements last month. These signals are emerging just as the market remains concerned about a weakening U.S. economy, even though expectations for rate cuts are not yet firmly established. Still, sentiment has shifted: the FedWatch tool now shows nearly a 50% probability of a rate cut at the Fed’s December meeting, up from below 40% earlier this week. This development has helped gold rebound after three consecutive losing sessions, especially since the precious metal typically benefits in a low-rate environment. However, gold’s recovery remains relatively fragile. Prices fell more than 3% on Friday and dropped another 1% on Monday as expectations for Fed easing were revised. This has made the market more sensitive to signals from monetary policy and economic data. The short-term focus is on the minutes of the late-October FOMC meeting and the upcoming nonfarm payrolls report, both to be released this week. Forecasts suggest U.S. job growth may slow to around 55,000 in September—a pace reflecting cooling hiring demand. Several Fed officials have struck a more dovish tone. Governor Waller described the labor market as “weak” and noted that core inflation is moving closer to the 2% target. Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin expects upcoming data to offer more clues on the direction of the economy. These comments, combined with the market’s interpretation of soft labor signals, are creating an environment in which each new data point has the potential to significantly impact gold pricing. In my view, gold is likely to continue trading within a narrow range as the market awaits clearer confirmation from the Fed while simultaneously assessing the risks of a slowing U.S. economy. Rate-cut expectations remain the key factor supporting gold in the current phase. Technical analysis and suggestions OANDA:XAUUSD Recovery Trend and Conditions for a New Uptrend This morning's developments show that gold prices are trying to recover after a long correction, with a bounce back to the $4,070/ounce area, corresponding to the lower border of the medium-term Ascending Channel. The price structure has remained within the uptrend channel since August, but the momentum has weakened significantly after the price failed twice before the strong resistance zone of $4,216/ounce (Fib 0.236). The $3,972–$3,990/ounce (Fib 0.382) level continues to act as an important buffer zone, and the fact that the price did not break this zone in the recent decline is a positive signal. RSI hit the oversold zone and is bouncing up, indicating that selling pressure is weakening and the market is entering a rebalancing phase. For a new uptrend to form, it is necessary: Necessary condition: price holds above 3,972 USD/ounce, remaining above the rising trend line of the price channel. Sufficient condition: close above 4,128 USD/ounce and then confirm above 4,216 USD/ounce, the key resistance zone that determines the return to a strong uptrend. Only when these two conditions are met, the medium-term uptrend structure will be fully restored.

XAUUSD – High-Impact Levels to Dominate the Day🌐 MARKET CONTEXT Gold opens today in a compression phase after a high-volatility session yesterday, where both premium and discount liquidity pools were partially swept. Despite this, the market structure on M30 remains intraday bearish, with price continuously rejecting premium supply while building liquidity below. Recent Drivers: USD strengthened modestly following hawkish comments from Fed speakers Market remains in “wait mode” ahead of upcoming PMI and inflation data Safe-haven demand is neutral → no strong fundamental bias, giving technicals more influence Sentiment Outlook: London session: Liquidity grabs likely on both sides before directional movement NY session: Expected expansion after liquidity sweep Bias: Bearish intraday unless discount zones trigger a structure shift Gold is currently trading in the middle of the intraday range, meaning entries must be placed at premium or deep-discount liquidity zones only. 📉 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS (SMC + LIQUIDITY) Market Structure Current structure: Lower High → Lower Low M30 equilibrium → 4135–4140 Price hovering under potential inducement levels near 4170–4180 Multiple unmitigated OBs match today’s entries Liquidity Map Buy-side liquidity (BSL): above 4176 Mini BSL: above 4147 Sell-side liquidity (SSL): below 4116 and deeper at 3993 Clear liquidity pockets for engineered wicks and traps Imbalance (FVG) Bearish FVG at 4176–4178 → optimal sell zone Small discount imbalance at 4116–4118 → scalp buy reaction zone Deep imbalance around 3993–3995 → strong liquidity magnet for later sessions 🔑 KEY PRICE ZONES (With Captivating Explanations) 4178–4176 ▶️ Premium Supply – High Probability Sell Zone Large premium imbalance + unmitigated bearish OB + BSL inducement above. This is where institutions typically offload positions before pushing price lower. 4148–4147 ▶️ Scalp Sell Zone – Minor Liquidity Trap Previous sweep zone with compressed liquidity. Expect a quick reaction as price hunts micro-BSL then rejects. 4118–4116 ▶️ Discount Buy Zone – Scalping Reaction Point Mitigation of bullish micro-OB + SSL liquidity resting below. Perfect for small intraday bounces or CHoCH attempts. 3995–3993 ▶️ Deep Discount Buy Zone – High-Value Liquidity Pool Major SSL cluster + higher timeframe discount region. If price drops this low, expect aggressive reactions and potential intraday reversal. ⚙️ TRADE SETUPS ✅ SELL SETUP 1 – MAIN PREMIUM SUPPLY Entry: 4178–4176 Stoploss: 4184 TP1: 4160 TP2: 4148 TP3: 4120 Logic: BSL sweep → imbalance fill → sharp rejection expected in London. ⚠️ SELL SETUP 2 – SCALPING PREMIUM REJECTION Entry: 4148–4147 Stoploss: 4126 (Adjusted for safety as provided) TP: 4137 – 4128 – 4120 Logic: Liquidity trap + inducement zone → ideal quick scalp. ✅ BUY SETUP 1 – SCALPING DISCOUNT DEMAND Entry: 4118–4116 Stoploss: 4110 TP1: 4126 TP2: 4140 Logic: SSL sweep + micro CHoCH potential. Perfect scalp in NY open. ✅ BUY SETUP 2 – DEEP DISCOUNT REVERSAL Entry: 3995–3993 Stoploss: 3987 TP1: 4010 TP2: 4040 TP3: 4110 (If strong reversal forms) Logic: High probability liquidity reversal zone. Strong reaction expected. 🧠 NOTES / SESSION PLAN Wait for M5/M15 confirmation before executing buys in discount zones Avoid buying near premium zones; structure favors sell setups first Expect stop-hunt wicks during London session New York session likely provides the real expansion move Avoid trading immediately after high-impact USD news 🏁 CONCLUSION Gold remains in a bearish intraday structure on M30, with two premium sell zones (4178 and 4148) offering the best risk–reward setups. Discount buy zones (4116 and 3993) provide high-quality countertrend reactions and potential reversals. Trade only at extremes. Avoid mid-range noise.
