XAUUSD BULLISH CONTINUATIONPRICE has recently broken its last higher high, shifting market structure and indicating Buyers are currently in control.
This break opened up a clear Demand Zone below, a small base or last bearish candle before the rise, which is a key area where unfulfilled buy orders may be resting.
Price has retraced back into this Demand Zone to fill those orders. I'm expecting buying pressure to resume and push price upward, honouring the imbalance left by the rise.
Entry: I will enter once I get a good confirmation in the demand zone
🎯 TP: Supply zone above
🛑 SL: Just below the demand zone

GOLD.F trade ideas
Whether gold can break through 3500 becomes the keyGold fell at the opening today before rising. Following the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's ruling that Trump's tariffs were illegal, the market rebounded strongly, reaching a high of 3489, edging closer to its all-time high.
Our sell order on Friday was hit by the stop loss of 3460 because we did not close the profit in time, which unfortunately ended our continuous profit streak.
As the gold price approaches its historical high, the resistance it faces from above will certainly become stronger. It is very critical whether it can break through 3500 in the next two days. If it fails to break through, it will face a decline.
Therefore, you must not chase the current rise in gold, at least before it breaks through 3500 or retreats to the support below.
The US market is closed today for Labor Day, reducing liquidity and volatility. Therefore, I don't anticipate many good trading opportunities. Everyone should relax and take it easy. I'll notify you if I see a good opportunity.
“Gold market lures into corrective moveGold initiates a corrective phase, with price action gravitating toward the 3450’s demand zone for mitigation. This level serves as a pivotal checkpoint to confirm whether bullish momentum sustains or a deeper retracement develops.
<<>>Key Watch Points:
Corrective Target: 3450’s
Bias: Bullish continuation above 3450’s | Deeper pullback risk if broken

Gold (XAUUSD) – Short SetupGold is currently trading around $3,405 and moving directly into a strong resistance zone between $3400 – $3450. Price is entering a Reversal Zone around that price range, where previous attempts to break higher have failed multiple times.
The structure shows that gold is testing the upper resistance line again, while momentum indicators are already showing signs of exhaustion. If price rejects this area, I expect a potential move down to the following targets:
Target 1 (T1): $3,348
Target 2 (T2): $3,286
Target 3 (T3): $3,169
Stop Loss (SL): Above $3,450
If price breaks above this level with strong volume, the setup becomes invalid.
Summary:
I expect a rejection around the resistance zone and a potential pullback towards lower support levels. If the the resistance zone holds, this setup offers a good risk-reward ratio to the downside.
No financial advice – just my personal trade idea based on my chart.
“Gold Market: Retrace Before Continuation?”Last week’s demand was exhausted as price extended through 3452. A retracement is now in play, with daily demand at 3430’s expected to be mitigated before the next directional stance develops.

Gold Pushes Into Resistance Ahead of Jobs TestGold is edging back towards its April highs, pressing into a key resistance zone just as traders brace for another critical US jobs report this Friday. With the dollar under pressure and Donald Trump clashing with the Federal Reserve, gold is firmly in the spotlight this week.
Trump erodes dollar with central bank attack
Donald Trump’s latest clash with the Fed has taken a toll on the greenback. The decision to sack Fed governor Lisa Cook, combined with fresh attacks on chair Jay Powell, has fuelled concerns that central bank independence is being undermined. Markets reacted by pulling down short-term yields while bidding up the long end, steepening the curve in a way that has historically given gold an extra lift.
Attention now turns to Friday’s non-farm payrolls report. July’s data was weak, with only 73,000 jobs created and sizeable downward revisions to earlier months. That stumble pushed markets to start pricing a September rate cut, with traders now braced for August’s numbers to confirm or challenge that view. Economists are pencilling in a modest rebound, but the risk is tilted to the downside. Another miss would strengthen the case for near-term easing, keeping pressure on the dollar and giving gold a chance to test resistance. Stronger data, by contrast, could stall momentum and leave the metal struggling once again at the highs.
Technicals point to a pivotal test
On the daily chart, gold has spent the summer grinding higher, with the 50-day moving average providing steady support. Price remains comfortably above the rising 200-day average, which keeps the broader uptrend intact. The latest push has carried the metal back into the resistance zone created by the April swing highs and reinforced by repeated peaks during the summer. Those April highs are the line in the sand. A clean break above would finally signal that the long summer consolidation is drawing to a close.
Gold Daily Candle Chart
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
The weekly chart frames this even more clearly. After its powerful rally earlier in the year, gold settled into a wedge-shaped consolidation of narrowing highs and rising lows — essentially a coiled spring. The market is now pressing against the top of that wedge, leaving it on the verge of resolution. A weekly close above resistance would confirm the breakout and open the path to continuation of the long-term uptrend. A failure here, however, would extend the squeeze and test the patience of the bulls once again.

Gold under total Bullish dominationQuick update: Gold is Trading on upswing in extension soaring from #3,327.80 almost towards #3,488.80 non-stop fuelled with war news escalation (Fundamentals as an catalyst as always) plus newly formed Golden Cross on Hourly 4 chart which is adding credence to this total Buying domination and undisputed Bullish trend. I will keep Buying every dip on Gold throughout the session and will continue to do so as long as I spot opportunity to do so. Keep in mind that as soon as Ultimate Top's are priced in, aggressive decline will follow on the aftermath which I will utilize to it's maximum. #3,462.80 is decent re-Buy area for now.
Strong Rise. Bulls vs. Bears?Gold prices surged again, briefly reaching around 3490. Monday's rally rekindled market bulls. With gold nearing its all-time high, strategies need to be adjusted. Given the current high, keep a close eye on the key 3500 level during the European session. If it breaks through, new highs are possible. Otherwise, short sell and wait for a pullback before going long.
The 4-hour chart shows consecutive bullish candlesticks, but significant resistance lies near 3495. During the European session, watch for pressure around 3500, a key level for long-short strategies. Short-term support is around 3365, which also marks the MA5 moving average.
Trading Strategy:
Short around 3495, stop loss at 3505, profit range 3470-3465.
Long around 3460, stop loss at 3450, profit range 3490-3500-3510.
If the price fails to pull back, it will directly stabilize above 3500 in the European session, stop loss in time and go long, with the target first at 3515-3520.
The market has always been a game between bulls and bears. In the trading market, winning and losing is the only criterion.
In the new week, I wish you all a successful trading week.
Gold Trading Scenario – Start of the WeekGold Trading Scenario – Start of the Week
Hello traders,
A new week begins with gold holding steady above the 34xx zone, establishing a fresh value area. The current structure has already broken through key resistance levels on the higher timeframe – including the daily trendline and H4 barriers – confirming strong bullish momentum.
The rally played out exactly as expected, reaching the target around 3450 (with a high of 3454). Price is now showing a slight pullback. This will only be seen as a trend reversal if price breaks below 3404. Otherwise, it’s simply a secondary correction in line with Dow Theory.
Wave 5 may have already completed, but the ABC structure is not yet clear. For that reason, I continue to favour buying in line with the trend to maintain higher probability setups.
Buy zone for today: 3408–3412. This area previously acted as resistance, but was broken on Friday and now serves as a solid support region.
This is my medium-term outlook for gold at the start of the week. Take it as reference, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments so we can discuss further.
STORMY SPX500, NAS100 & GOLD BREAKOUT In this weekend's analysis, SPXX500 and NAS100 is forming a BEARISH CONSOLIDATION. The 4 hours chart shows some form of head and shoulders pattern on the NAS100 and expecting some consolidation between the 50 EMA and the 200 EMA on the 4H timeframe before a breakdown to the price target zone of 22,200.
SPX500 also forming a flatten tops with RSI divergence, while momentum and Stochastics cycle turned down suggesting a stormy sell off is brewing.
Gold on the other hand is set to have an explosive breakout into an all time high after a little consolidation around the resistance zone.
Thanks for support and have a great trading week.
XAU intra (monday)?
Hi,
Those above are scary sharp.
OK. Not to be carried away, coz it's sometimes. NOt all the time.
For Monday my AI model still call a buy.
It's a bit tricky. You'll need to look how it performs on the new day.
1/ It will shootup to 3472 ; immediately
reason: Lower tf, there's this bullish setup
OR
2/ Take a breather to
3437 ranging 3-5$ and still going to 3472
1 or 2 .. still have room for upwards
All the best
Not a guru
OPEN WEEK WILL DUMP TO 3410 OR PUMP TO 3500 ?The chart shows that gold is currently in a strong bullish trend. Price has broken above a significant supply zone, which now acts as a demand zone. The recent "BOS" (Break of Structure) confirms this bullish momentum.
Trading Strategy
1. Bullish Scenario (Primary):
Entry: Look for a pullback to the key demand zone around the 3,410–3,425 level. This is a high-probability area for a bounce.
Target: The main target for this bullish move is the new week high at 3,500 and potentially extending to 3,520.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss below the low of the demand zone to protect your capital.
2. Bearish Scenario (Secondary):
Confirmation: A break below the demand zone at 3,410 would invalidate the primary bullish plan.
Target: If this happens, price could retrace back to the D1 Trendline around the 3,350 level.
3. Key Levels to Watch:
Support:
3,410 - 3,425: Major demand zone.
3,380: A minor support level.
3,350: The D1 Trendline.
Resistance:
3,447: Current high.
3,500: Key psychological and structural resistance level.
3,520: Final target.
Important Notes
Risk Management: Always use a proper stop loss and never risk more than 1-2% of your capital on a single trade.
Confirmation: Wait for bullish price action signals like an engulfing candle, pin bar, or double bottom on a lower timeframe before entering a long position.
Market News: Be aware of any high-impact news events that could affect the price of gold.
Gold Trading Strategy | August 29-30✅ On the daily chart, gold closed with a strong bullish candle, breaking out to the 3448 level and testing the previous high resistance zone at 3450–3470. The price is firmly above the upper Bollinger Band, indicating strong bullish momentum, but there are short-term overbought signals. The MACD lines have formed a golden cross with expanding histogram bars, confirming the bullish trend. However, the KDJ is overextended (K > 90), suggesting the risk of a short-term pullback.
Overall, the daily chart remains bullish, but with price approaching key resistance, a correction could occur at any time.
✅ On the 4-hour chart, the price has surged from 3311 and climbed all the way up to 3448. It is now trading outside the upper Bollinger Band, showing clear signs of overheating in the short term. While MACD momentum remains strong, there are early signs of topping out. A technical pullback is likely, with key support to watch at 3430–3415.
🔴 Resistance: 3450–3470
🟢 Support: 3430–3415
✅ Trading Strategy Reference:
🔰 Aggressive Strategy: If the price breaks above 3470 and holds, further upside could extend toward 3500 and beyond.
🔰 Conservative Strategy: If the price pulls back to 3430–3415 and holds, consider entering long positions with targets at 3460–3470. If 3415 fails, shift to a high-level short strategy.
🔥Trading Reminder: Trading strategies are time-sensitive, and market conditions can change rapidly. Please adjust your trading plan based on real-time market conditions🤝

Gold 29/08: Smart Money Targets 3444 or Sweeps 3395Market Context (SMC View):
• Gold rejected from 3423 liquidity zone and is retracing into discount.
• Demand sits at 3397–3395, which could provide a bounce if tapped.
• Premium supply zones above 3422 and 3442 remain attractive for shorts.
________________________________________
🔼 BUY SCENARIO
• Buy Zone: 3397 – 3395
• SL: 3389
• TP: 3405 → 3415 → 3425

📌 Conclusion & Notes
• Bias: Buy on dips at 3397–3395, then look for liquidity grab around 3422–3424 or extended sweep into 3442–3444 for short entries.
• 3422–3424 is the first intraday supply zone, while 3442–3444 is the major swing sell zone.
• Patience: wait for rejection/confirmation candles before selling.
• Protect capital: keep SL tight, as gold tends to hunt liquidity around round numbers.
Golden Operation Guide!Market News:
Spot gold prices fluctuated narrowly in early Asian trading on Friday (August 29), currently trading around $3,412 per ounce. Spot gold prices surged above the psychologically important $3,400 level, reaching a high of $3,423 per ounce, a five-week high since July 23. The surge in London gold prices was driven by a combination of factors, including a weakening US dollar, concerns about the Federal Reserve's independence, and an influx of safe-haven funds. Meanwhile, declining initial jobless claims and a rebound in second-quarter corporate profits suggest the US economy remains resilient. This complex economic backdrop further underscores gold's safe-haven properties, ensuring that international gold prices can rise regardless of economic trends. The question of Federal Reserve independence is likely to remain a key variable influencing the international gold market in the long term. Investors are awaiting Friday's release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index for July, a preferred inflation indicator for the Federal Reserve.
Technical Analysis:
Gold prices maintain a robust trend-based buying structure, continuing to maintain expected buying at new highs. Technically, three consecutive daily gains maintain a strong buy trend. The 10/7-day moving averages remain upward, and the price is gradually moving higher along the 5-day moving average. The RSI indicator remains above its mid-range axis. Bollinger Bands on the four-hour and hourly charts are pointing upward, and the price is trading within the upper mid-range. However, beware of a pullback after the weekly surge, as the RSI indicator has reached above 70 on the four-hour chart. Be wary of a pullback after the week-end surge. Gold is currently a buying trend, having reached a new high. We've been buying consistently lately, and gold has been rising steadily. Can the upward trend continue? Gold is still in a buying trend, and pullbacks provide further buying opportunities. There's no limit to the upward trend, so continue buying on intraday pullbacks. Gold's one-hour moving average continues to form a golden cross, signaling a diverging buy pattern. Short-term support for gold is at 3390. Buy on dips above 3390. Watch for a reversal in gold's trend today, Friday. As long as gold maintains its strong momentum during the European session, there's still upward momentum for buying, and there's hope for further gains.
Trading strategy:
Short-term gold: Buy at 3390-3393, stop loss at 3382, target at 3420-3440;
Short-term gold: Sell at 3435-3438, stop loss at 3446, target at 3400-3380;
