Trade ideas
GC UpdateGold and silver appear to be stalled out right now, waiting for MFI to hit oversold.
Sucks they hit the sell button right before open, I was carrying EWZ (Brazil) calls overnight. Their market opens before the US, it was up big then reversed when futures went down. Brazil stock market tends to move with commodities.
Unfortunately you can't sell options premarket. Made a small profit though.
Gold on 01.12.2025Today’s move, right at the London open, pushed gold into the lower zone, where it can be observed that institutions were looking to sweep through the entire fair value area created the previous day. The peak of the move occurred during the cash session, after we reached the POC zone and the 0.6 Fibonacci levels. The rejection to the upside was quite aggressive.
Gold with technical analysis and its key support and resistance Gold with technical analysis and its key support and resistance
Gold is in a rising parallel channel on the 3‑hour chart, currently reacting lower from the upper boundary, so short‑term bias is for a pullback within an overall uptrend.
Key levels to watch are supports near 129,175–127,120 and resistance around 131,200–131,500 and the channel top.
## Trend structure
- Price has been respecting a well‑defined ascending channel since early November, with higher highs and higher lows confirming an uptrend on this timeframe.
- The latest swing has reached the upper band of this channel and shows rejection candles, indicating supply pressure and possible short‑term exhaustion of buyers.
## Support zones
- Immediate intraday support is near the mid‑channel and prior breakout area around 129,100–129,200; a hold here keeps the uptrend structure intact.
- Deeper support sits at 127,100–127,200, aligning with the channel lower boundary and previous demand zone; a sustained break below this area would signal a potential trend change or larger correction towards 125,000 and then 122,000.
## Resistance zones
- The first and most important resistance is the recent high and channel top region near 131,200–131,500, where repeated rejections suggest strong sellers.
- If price can close firmly above this band, the channel’s upper projection opens room for further upside, with next resistance coming from measured channel extension and recent technical levels around 133,000–133,500.
## Trading view
- As long as price stays inside the rising channel and above 127,100–127,200, the primary trend remains bullish and dips into support can be treated as buy‑on‑dip opportunities with tight risk control.
- A breakdown below the lower channel with volume would favor a shift to sell‑on‑rise, targeting the lower horizontal supports mentioned, while any fresh breakout above 131,500 would invalidate the short‑term bearish pullback idea and resume the up‑leg.
GOLD (XAUUSD): bullish-Neutral! Prepare To Buy!In this Weekly Market Forecast, we will analyze the Gold (XAUUSD) for the week of Dec. 8 - 15th.
Gold closed last week indecisive. It has been moving sideways inside a bullish FVG, that continues to act as support.
Prepare for a short term pullback.... and buy it.
Mindful that FOMC is Wednesday, and the USD is weakened with the expectation of a .25 rate cut.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

Gold Weekly Playbook: Key Levels, Scenarios & Sentiment Triggers1. Macro Update
Gold continues to trade within a macro environment defined by shifting rate expectations and evolving recession probabilities. With the Fed maintaining a data-dependent stance, the market remains highly sensitive to inflation and employment prints. Cooling inflation supports the case for rate cuts, pulling real yields lower and creating a constructive backdrop for gold.
Conversely, stubborn inflation pushes the narrative toward “higher for longer,” often slowing upside momentum and encouraging more rotational price action. This doesn’t immediately turn GC bearish, but it does cap impulsive continuation as traders reassess forward guidance.
Recession sentiment is the second major driver. Rising recession odds tend to benefit gold as investors rotate into safe-haven assets, even without imminent Fed easing. A persistent soft-landing narrative—stable labor markets, steady consumption—can reduce defensive flows and temper gold’s velocity. Overall, the macro backdrop remains cautiously supportive, but still very catalyst-driven.
2. What Has the Market Done?
Gold has exhibited constructive price action, with the recent week imbalancing up and out of the 17 Nov weekly balance/value area. Importantly, the market closed at the highs of the week, signaling sustained buyer aggression and broad acceptance of higher prices.
Weekly value and Volume point of Control (VPOC) have shifted upward, reinforcing a meaningful change in participant behavior: buyers are willing to transact at progressively higher prices, and sellers have not shown the ability to force price back into prior balance. This upward migration of value marks a firm shift in short-term sentiment.
The market is also now at an important structural zone at 4251.3—the 13 Oct weekly VPOC and the 20 Oct weekly Low value area (LVA). How the market reacts at this level—rejecting, stalling, or accepting—will be a telling indicator of whether buyers maintain control or whether sellers can slow the advance.
3. What to Expect in the Coming Week
The key level to watch this week:
4254.9 - Previous week/month’s settlement price
This level acts as a major pivot for directional conviction. Holding above settlement supports the case for continuation; a sustained move below it increases the likelihood of rotation or deeper testing.
Bullish Scenario
If the market holds and accepts above 4254.9, upside continuation becomes likely.
Target 1: 4378.6 (Weekly 1 Standard Deviation (SD) High) – expect responsive sellers.
If market accepts above 4378.6:
Target 2: 4436.2 (ATH region) – extended bullish objective.
Bearish Scenario
If the market fails to hold above 4254.9, expect sellers to target 4195.3 (previous week’s VPOC).
Additional downside triggers:
If buyers cannot reclaim 4261.3 (previous week’s high), pressure may push price through prior value toward 4136.5.
If buyers then fail to reclaim back above 4195.3:
Next target: 4131.2 (Weekly 1 SD Low / 17 Nov VPOC / Bid Block 3 midpoint).
Continued seller control may extend the move toward 4070/80, aligned with the 2-week composite VAH and upper boundary of Bid Block 2.
Neutral Scenario
If neither buyers nor sellers show conviction, expect two-way consolidation around previous week’s settlement, 4254.9, between 4316.7 and 4193.1 (10 Nov weekly high / 20 Oct LVA / weekly 0.5 SD high).
This remains the most probable balance zone unless a macro catalyst drives breakout behavior.
This week’s structure is clean: one major pivot and clearly defined pathways for both sides. Whether GC breaks out or slips back into rotation will hinge on how price behaves around 4254.9.

$GC, Gold: In Wave 5 upCSE:GC , Gold: I count it as having finished (IV) waves and we're in 5 of Wave (V). This wave can take us to $4900. A substantial correction follows after that, if this count is correct. However, the 5th wave can extend so we'll see how the technical indicators appear after reaching the 5th wave target.
I presently have a 3.1% portfolio allocation to gold through GLD.
Gold Bulls Are Making Hard Work of New HighsI remain sceptical of gold’s latest bounce and continue to look for signs of a swing high. A less-dovish — or relatively hawkish — Fed cut this week could be the catalyst for a stronger US dollar and lower gold. Either way, it’s hard to imagine gold breaking back above its record high without a meaningful dip first.

Silver: A Sell Signal?COMEX: Micro Silver Futures ( COMEX_MINI:SIL1! )
What happened to the silver market? A previous all-time-high (ATH) record of $49.95 per ounce was set on January 17, 1980, and stood for 45 years until silver broke $50 in October 2025. Since then, silver prices kept climbing nonstop and setting new ATH records almost daily. Last Friday, November 28th, silver reached $56.86.
COMEX Silver Futures ( AMEX:SIL ) locked in an impressive 98% return year-to-date, which makes silver the top performer across all major asset classes year to date.
The strength of silver is supported by a confluence of factors including inflows into bullion-backed ETFs and expectations of a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut. Investors rotated assets out of stock amid recent market weaknesses, benefiting the safe-haven assets gold and silver. In addition, gold purchases have slowed in recent months due to the record high prices. Some investors may choose silver as an alternative hedging asset.
However, a key metric suggests that the tide is about to change.
A Refresher:
In my writing published on April 28th, I introduced the Gold-Silver Ratio, a financial term that measures the relative value of gold to silver. The Gold-Silver Ratio may be used as a buying or selling signal.
When to Buy Silver : A high Ratio, typically above the 95:1 mark, suggests that silver is undervalued relative to gold. This is often interpreted as a buying signal for silver.
• Recalling that in the April 28th writing, we explored the idea of buying silver at $33 when the Ratio stood at 100. Silver prices went up 72% since then.
When to Sell Silver : When the Ratio is low, say around 80:1, it indicates that silver is relatively expensive. Investors might consider selling silver and buying gold.
• As silver caught up with gold with its recent rally, the Ratio is declining all the way down to 74. This is a level indicating silver is very expensive relative to gold. From a mean-reversing point of view, the Ratio may rebound back to the 80-90 range soon.
In my opinion, gold could show more strength compared to silver in the new year.
• Global central banks have slowed gold purchases recently. Gold getting expensive did not cause the pause. Annual budget depleting may be a more plausible reason. A new year comes with new budget, and I expect central bank buying to resume in 2026.
• Silver is part precious metal and part industrial metal. Global GDP in 2026 is projected to slow to 2.9% to 3.1%, with downside risks from geopolitical tensions and trade policy uncertainty, according to the IMF. Industrial use of silver could slow as well.
• Expectations of Fed rate cuts are rising. The stock market could rally again, causing investors to rotate money out of safe-haven assets. In my opinion, gold could stand its ground better than silver, with central bank purchases serving as a key support. In this scenario, the Ratio rises because silver falling faster than gold.
Trade Setup with Micro Silver
Traders could apply the insights from the Gold-Silver Ratio with trading strategies using COMEX Micro Silver Futures ( AMEX:SIL ). There are a number of reasons why shorting silver makes sense:
• Traders expect mean-reversion of the Gold-Silver Ratio will occur soon.
• Investors expect Fed rate cuts to be bullish for stocks and bearish for precious metals.
• Traders with portfolio of spot silver or silver ETF want to hedge their positions.
The big advantages of using futures contracts are capital efficiency and leverage. Micro Silver contracts have a notional value of 1,000 troy ounces of silver. With Friday settlement price of $57.455, each January contract (SILF6) has a notional value of $57,455. Buying or selling one contract requires an initial margin of $4,000 at the time of writing. This suggests a built-in leverage of 14.4 (= 57455/4000) for futures contracts.
By putting a deposit equivalent to 70 ounces, traders could gain the full exposure of 1,000 ounces of silver. If silver prices move down by 10%, a short position in Micro Silver futures would gain 144% (= (57455*0.1) / 4000).
Micro silver futures (SIL, 1000 oz) and standard-size silver futures contracts (SI, 5000 oz) contracts together form a deep liquidity pool. On November 28th, SI had trade volume of 109,967 contracts and an open interest (OI) of 155,222 contracts. SIL had volume and OI of 79,015 and 14,900 contracts, respectively, according to data from CME Group.
To hedge the risk of rising silver prices, a trader could set a stoploss on his short-silver order. For illustration, a short order is executed at 57.455 with a stoploss at 59.0. If silver goes up 10% to $63.2, the maximum loss will be $1,545 (= (59-57.455)*1000), well within the margin account balance of $4,000.
Happy Trading.

Gold MCX Future - Weekly Analysis - 1 to 5 Dec., 2025MCX:GOLD1!
Gold MCX Futures — Chart Pathik Weekly Levels for 01 to 05 Dec. 2025
(If these levels add value to your trades, a quick boost or comment goes a long way in supporting this free content and keeping our trading community thriving!)
Gold Futures are trading near 129,893, pulling back from early-week highs and hovering just below the Weekly Neutral Zone at 130,220, signalling a balanced tug-of-war between continuation bulls and mean-reversion bears. Price remains above key weekly long reference levels, keeping the broader structure constructive but vulnerable to deeper dips if supports fail.
Weekly Bullish Structure
Weekly long bias remains active as long as price holds above the W Long Entry zone at 128,641 and the W Add Long Position level at 128,126, where prior demand and breakout structure align.
Upside targets sit at 132,919 (W Long Target 1) and 134,587 (W Long Target 2), marking zones for positional booking if buyers regain control above the Neutral Zone.
Control: Positional longs can trail or define risk below the W Long Exit at 129,066 and more structurally below 128,126, where bullish weekly structure starts to weaken.
Weekly Bearish Structure
If price breaks and sustains below 128,126, focus shifts to the W Short Entry band around 127,610–127,518, where fresh selling pressure and failed retests of broken support can set up downside continuation.
Weekly downside targets lie at 127,521 (W Short Target 1) and 125,853 (W Short Target 2), providing zones for profit booking on swing shorts.
Control: Bears need to stay cautious on any sharp reclaim back above 129,066–130,220, where failed breakdowns can quickly flip back into a squeeze towards the weekly long targets.
Neutral & Trading Plan Context
130,220 acts as the Weekly Neutral pivot—while gold trades between roughly 129,066 and 130,220, expect range-bound swings suitable for tactical intraday/swing trades rather than aggressive weekly trend plays.
Every level is designed to give structure for both positional and intraday traders—plan entries around these zones, manage exits at targets, and let the chart work for you, not your emotions.
Boost or comment if these weekly levels support your preparation—help Chart Pathik keep delivering structured, high-quality analysis to more MCX traders!
Gold Context: The 4290 Probe & Weekly Balance OutlookFOREXCOM:XAUUSD COMEX_MINI:MGCG2026 COMEX:GC1!
Traders. Weekly wrap-up and context outlook for the next auction.
Market Context (The Rejection):
Gold rejected the 4290 level, falling just short of the 4300 psychological magnet.
• Interpretation: While the day ended with a rejection (excess), we must not ignore that the auction did facilitate trade at these levels. This extension above our 3-day balance indicates intent.
• The Profile: The rally displays characteristics of short covering (squeezing weak shorts) rather than aggressive new buying. The rejection simply indicates the price was "too high" for the current timeframe, but the level remains a valid target for a revisit.
Structure & Outlook (Next Week):
We are monitoring the Weekly Balance zone roughly between 4220 – 4260.
• The Bull Case (Acceptance): If we see continued short covering transition into New Money (OTF) buying above this balance, we look for acceptance at these higher prices. This would open the door to trade through 4300.
• The Bear Case (Liquidation): There is a probability of long liquidation if the auction fails to hold the balance, but I am cautious/skeptical of the downside potential right now.
Plan:
Watch for acceptance vs. rejection relative to the 4220–4260 balance. We need "New Money" to sustain the break of 4300.

GC UpdateSilver looks topped out, and gold moving down as well. I think I'll wait for indicators this time, lol.
I exited out of the trade a bit early last week because ES1! had an open gap that I knew would fill, and I wasn't sure if gold would go down with the stock market.
With silver going parabolic, and gold following the same direction, I think this might be a difficult trade to track, but I'll give it a go, lol.
