THE KOG REPORT THE KOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report we said we would be looking for price to attempt the lower red box, and if held a move upside would be available into the box above. This move worked well for traders and the entry came exactly from our Excalibur red box. We then ideally wanted the higher box to give us a RIP, however, as you can see price broke above first on our indicators and then on the box shared with everyone else. Hence invalidating the short trade and activating the long which was then shared in our updates through the week.
We managed to trade between the boxes and of course Excalibur our trusted algo again performed with the pin point target levels.
A decent week in Camelot, not only on Gold, but on the other instruments we trade and analyse as well.
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
I would expect Monday and early Tuesday to be the main days for movement before FOMC this week which may bring volume, but initial thoughts are we’re priced in! For that reason, we’ll share this report and say it’s applicable until Wednesday, which is when we will share the KOG Report for FOMC.
We have support below at the 3620-12 region which is a big range and will need to be monitored if attacked early in the week. If this level holds, an opportunity to long may be available to trades targeting the all time high again and most likely beyond in attempt for the 3700 region. It’s that region we would like to monitor again for a possible short, unless we break below the 3610 level.
The path shows the possible route, a move downside, then up where there are 3 levels to monitor, and a potential move downside in our opinion. It is as usual, subject to change and will be updated if through the week. For now, we’re still stretched with sentiment near neutral, we need to complete the swing upside with the key level of support being the 3606-10 level in extension. If we break below there, we have a clean reversal and what bears will want, is to see the low 3500’s at least! This level could be a possibility on Wednesdays FOMC, so stay tuned!!
In summary:
We want to see this move down commence so longs are with caution for us at the moment with the hope that one of these resistance levels can give us a major RIP. We need to monitor this carefully and will be implementing a scalp only strategy upside for now.
KOG’s Bias of the week:
Bullish above 3610 with targets above 3655, 3667, 3671 and above that 3686
Bearish on break of 3610 with targets below 3605, 3597, 3580, 3565 and below that 3540
RED BOX TARGETS:
Break above 3645 for 3654, 3657, 3670, 3685 and 3702 in extension of the move
Break below 3630 for 3620, 3610, 3605, 3597 and 3885 in extension of the move

GOLD trade ideas
The Golden Run Continues: XAUUSD Eyes $3800? The Golden Run Continues: XAUUSD Eyes $3800?
Prior Bullish Momentum & Consolidation : XAUUSD entered a period of consolidation following a robust bullish rally earlier in the year. This initial surge established a strong underlying demand.
Symmetrical Triangle Formation : This consolidation phase manifested as a well-defined symmetrical triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart. This pattern typically represents a period of indecision, or accumulation/distribution, before a continuation of the prior trend.
Decisive Bullish Breakout: Gold has now executed a powerful and decisive upward breakout from the upper trendline of this symmetrical triangle. This action confirms the prevailing bullish sentiment and signals the likely resumption of the uptrend.
Key Support Level Established: The former upper trendline of the triangle, now residing around the $3500 mark, has effectively transformed into a critical immediate support level. A successful retest and hold of this level would further validate the breakout.
Strong Upward Trajectory: Post-breakout, the price action has been emphatically bullish, currently exhibiting a steep ascent within the marked green channel, indicating significant buying pressure.
Primary Price Target at Based on the measured move principle, often applied to symmetrical triangle breakouts (projecting the height of the pattern from the breakout point), our primary upside target for XAUUSD is 3800. This implies significant rally potential from current levels.

GOLD: Remains In a Very Risky PositionGOLD: Remains In a Very Risky Position
The current price of gold is around 3643. Currently, the price is moving sideways within a triangle pattern (consolidation). The highest price ever reached was at 3675.
The current picture is a bit complex, considering that after the Gold reached 3675 without news, it moved down when Israel carried out an airstrike on Doha during the last couple of weeks. Since that moment, GOLD has only been developing a larger correction without direction.
Two possible scenarios are ahead but as long as we are in a strong manipulated trend, we have to be careful because it can resume the predominant trend again:
If price breaks UP 3675 (blue arrow), gold can first test 3672–3675 (the all-time high).
If it breaks that, possible next targets are 3712 and 3750
If price breaks DOWN 3627 (red arrow)
It could drop towards these targets: 3612; 3583; 3545 and 3507
Key point:
Market is very risky here because it’s close to all-time highs and stuck in a tight pattern.
A strong breakout in either direction will decide the next move.

How to Find Order Block on Any Forex Pair & Gold (SMC Basics)
Order block is easier to find than you think.
I am going to reveal 2 simple price models that will help you find strong bullish and bearish order block zones on any Forex pair.
Discover how to identify OB and how to draw it properly in Smart Money Concepts SMC trading.
To effectively spot Order Block, you will need to learn basic Structure Mapping.
To find a bullish order block, you will need to learn by heart a classic bullish trend model.
According to the rules, that market is trading in a bullish trend if the price consistently updates Higher High HH and Higher Lows HL.
Such a price action confirms an uptrend .
The last higher low in that will be your Bullish Order Block.
Let me share with you a definition of a bullish order block so you could better understand its deep meaning.
Bullish order block is a significant price zone or a level where large market players (banks, institutions, hedge funds) have previously placed a high volume of buy orders, creating a strong imbalance in demand.
And what is a proof of this strong demand?
A consequent break of structure and a formation of a new higher high demonstrate a clear strength of a bullish wave that was initiated because of the activity of Smart Money.
As the market continues updating Higher Highs , remember to update Order Block. It will strictly be based on the LAST Higher Low.
Examine a price action on NZDUSD forex pair on a daily time frame.
The trend is bullish and our Order Block will be based on the last Higher Low.
To properly draw Order Block zone, its low should be based on the lowest low of a Higher Low. Its high should be based on the lowest daily candle close above a low of a Higher Low.
We will assume that huge volumes of buying orders will accumulate within that zone.
That area will provide a safe zone for us to buy the market from.
Alternatively, its violation will signify an important shift in a market sentiment.
To find a bearish order block, you will need to understand a classic bearish trend model.
According to the rules, that market is trading in a bearish trend if the price consistently updates Lower Lows LL and Lower Highs LH.
Such a price action confirms a downtrend .
The last lower high in that will be your Bearish Order Block.
And here is what exactly is a bearish order block.
Bearish order block is a significant price zone or a level where large market players - Smart Money have previously placed a high volume of sell orders, creating a strong imbalance in supply.
And what is a proof of this strong supply?
A consequent break of structure and a formation of a new lower low demonstrate a clear strength of a bearish wave that was initiated because of the activity of Smart Money.
As the market continues updating Lower Lows, remember to update Order Block. It will strictly be based on the LAST Lower High.
Please, check a price action on NZDCHF forex pair.
The market is trading in a downtrend.
Our bearish order block will be based on the last lower high .
The high of this zone will be the highest high of the last lower high.
Its low will be the highest daily candle close below the last lower high.
That zone will be a critical resistance.
Large selling volumes will be distributed within.
Once that area is tested, we can sell the market from that.
Alternatively, its bullish violation will signify a significant shift in the market sentiment.
Of course, these 2 models will not reveal all the order block on a price chart, BUT it will show you one of the most significant ones that you can rely on for safe entries for your trades.
Just learn a structure mapping in smart money concepts and use that you find powerful order block zones on any forex pair.

Gold Price Today – Buy or Sell?👋Hello everyone, it's great to be back. Let’s discuss OANDA:XAUUSD !
Here’s my short-term outlook:
XAUUSD is currently facing a new resistance zone around 3,655 USD, showing potential signs of a Triple Top pattern. The price has tested this level multiple times, and if it can’t break through, we might see a pullback towards support—first around 3,620 USD, then possibly down to 3,600 USD. The bullish trend will be maintained as long as this support level holds.
Outlook: This week promises to be an exciting trading week with several important news events scheduled to be released:
-US Retail Sales (Tuesday)
-Bank of Canada Interest Rate Decision, Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision (Wednesday)
-Bank of England Interest Rate Decision, US Weekly Jobless Claims (Thursday).
The next move will depend on these news events. Keep a close eye on the upcoming price action!

Wishing you a fantastic trading week ahead!
Don't go crazy with gold, please be rationalGold printed fresh all-time highs at 3674 last week, only to reverse sharply and settle into a sideways structure between 3620–3655.
The current debate: is this simply a consolidation box that will fuel another breakout, or is the market quietly building a distribution top that could resemble a triple top pattern (if we ignore the spike to ATH)?
Technically, the momentum has clearly cooled. The 3355–3360 area continues to cap the upside, turning into a stubborn barrier that bulls haven’t been able to overcome.
From a fundamental angle, the Fed’s rate cut is already baked into the price. The focus is now on Powell’s guidance. With inflation pushing higher, a cautious and balanced tone is more likely than a dovish surprise.
Cross-checking with other pairs, XAU/EUR and XAU/GBP are already pressing their support levels. That relative weakness suggests the gold complex as a whole may be closer to a downside break than to a new leg up.
For now, I’m flat. But unless bulls regain control quickly, I’ll be watching for failed rallies after London open as potential short setups.
I believe many of my friends who followed me made money during this gold rally, but some new friends must have gotten stuck with their orders or had their accounts wiped out! This market is like this; it can bring both wealth and disaster! So even if you've wiped out your account, don't lose heart or get crazy. Calm down. Gold will fall.

Gold Promises New Highs👋Hello everyone, what are your thoughts on OANDA:XAUUSD ?
Today, gold continues to hold a strong bullish trend, currently trading around 3,630 USD with a short-term pullback serving as momentum for the next move.
The key support zone is located around 3,600 – 3,580 USD. If this level holds, the upside remains open with the first psychological target at 3,700 USD. Two major indicators to watch are PPI (Sept 10) and CPI (Sept 11), which could act as the next catalysts for XAUUSD. Keep a close eye to catch trading opportunities.
Scalping Strategy – Optimal Profit Management
✔️ TP1 or 30 Pips: Close bad entry and move SL to entry
✔️ TP2 or 50–70 Pips: Close half of remaining profit, move SL to TP1
✔️ TP3: Close all
From my personal perspective, the main trend remains bullish. Pullbacks only serve as opportunities for safer long entries. And you—what do you think about gold’s trend?
GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATE & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone,
Please see our updated 1h chart levels and targets for the coming week.
We are seeing price play between two weighted levels with a gap above at 3653 and a gap below at 3622. We will need to see ema5 cross and lock on either weighted level to determine the next range.
We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
This is the 1H chart route map we tracked this week - played out beautifully to completion.
After hitting 3658, we saw no further EMA5 cross and lock, which led to the rejection. As expected, the lower Goldturns acted as support, giving us the planned dip-buying opportunities.
First, 3638 held as support with multiple bounces.
Then we got a cross-and-lock break below 3638, which opened 3613.
That target was hit and provided a support bounce back into 3638 today.
Right now, price action is playing between 3613 and 3638. An EMA5 cross and lock at either level will determine the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.

XAU/USD (Gold vs USD) on the 30-minute chart.XAU/USD (Gold vs USD) on the 30-minute chart
From my chart setup:
Price is consolidating in a symmetrical triangle formation.
I have drawn breakout projections with two target points.
📌 Based on my chart:
First target: around 3675 USD
Second target: around 3685–3690 USD
These levels are my breakout projections if gold breaks upward from the triangle.
THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
Not bad at all! We wanted price to come down into the red box early session which it did, it didn't extend, gave us the tap and bounce and then continued to completed the red box targets, Excalibur targets and LiTE targets all in one day! An extremely decent start to the week on Gold.
As you can see on the chart, we're close to the red box above now and with the 4H candle yet to close we would say the better long trades were from way below. We have resistance at the 3685 level with key level support now 3665 which will need to break to go lower.
For now, we'll stick with the plan into the Asia session.
KOG’s Bias of the week:
Bullish above 3610 with targets above 3655✅, 3667✅, 3671✅ and above that 3686✅
Bearish on break of 3610 with targets below 3605, 3597, 3580, 3565 and below that 3540
RED BOX TARGETS:
Break above 3645 for 3654✅, 3657✅, 3670✅, 3685✅ and 3702 in extension of the move

Forget the USD–Gold Correlation: Trade What MattersI took my first steps in the markets back in 2002 with stock investments. Real trading, however—the kind involving leverage, speculation, and active decision-making—began for me in 2004.
Like any responsible beginner, I started by taking courses and reading the classic trading books. One of the first lessons drilled into me was the inverse correlation between the US dollar and gold.
Fast forward more than 20 years, and for the past 15, XAUUSD has been my primary focus. And here’s the truth: I’m here to tell you that relying on USD–gold correlation is a mistake.
In this article, I’ll explain why you should avoid it, and more importantly, I’ll show you how to think like a “sophisticated” trader—especially if you can’t resist looking at the DXY .
Let’s Dissect the Myth
And for those who will say: “How on earth can you call this a mistake? Everyone knows gold moves opposite to the dollar!” — let’s dissect this step by step.
There couldn’t be a better example than 2025. We’re in the middle of a clear bullish trend in gold. Prices are climbing steadily, but not only against USD.
If gold were truly just the inverse of DXY, this overall rally wouldn’t exist. But it does. Why? Because the real driver isn’t the dollar falling — it’s demand for gold itself . Central banks are buying, funds are reallocating, and investors see gold as a store of value.
The Simple Logic That Breaks the Correlation
If it were truly a mirror correlation, then XAU/EUR would have been flat for years. Think about it: if gold only moved as the “inverse of the dollar,” then against other currencies it should show no trend at all. But the charts tell a completely different story.
Gold has been rising not just in USD terms, but also in EUR, GBP, and JPY. That means the move is not about the dollar being weak — it’s about gold being in demand.
This simple observation destroys the illusion of a strict USD–gold inverse correlation. If gold climbs across multiple currencies at the same time, the driver can’t be the dollar. The driver must be gold itself.
Why Correlation Thinking Creates Frustration
This is exactly why I tell you to ignore the so-called correlation: because it distracts you. You end up staring at the DXY when in reality, you’re trading the price of gold.
And that’s where frustration kicks in. You’re sitting on a position, watching the dollar index going higher, and you start yelling at the screen: “DXY is going up, so why isn’t gold falling? Why is my short position bleeding instead of working?”
I’ve been there many years ago, I know that feeling. But here’s the truth: gold doesn’t care about your correlation. It doesn’t care that DXY is green, red or pink. It moves on its own flows. And when you finally accept that, your trading becomes much cleaner. You stop being trapped by illusions and start focusing on the only thing that matters: the demand and supply of gold itself.
Where the Confusion Comes From
So where does all this confusion come from? Let’s take an example: imagine we get a very bad NFP number. That translates into a weaker USD. What happens? XAUUSD ticks higher.
Now, most traders immediately scream: “See? Inverse correlation!” But that’s not what’s really happening. The move you’re seeing is just a re-alignment of gold’s price in dollar terms. It’s noise, not a fundamental shift in gold’s trend.
If gold is in a downtrend overall, this kind of move doesn’t suddenly make it bullish. It’s just a temporary adjustment because the denominator (USD) weakened. On the other hand, if gold itself is already strong, such an event can act as an accelerator, pushing the trend even stronger.
The key is this: the dollar can influence the short-term pricing of XauUsd, but it doesn’t define the trend of gold. That trend is driven by demand for gold as an asset.
A Recent Example That Says It All
Let’s take a very recent example. Over the past month, DXY has been stuck in a range — no breakout, no major trend. Yet gold hasn’t just pushed higher in USD terms, it has made new all-time highs in XAU/EUR, XAU/GBP, and other currencies as well.
Why? Because gold rose. Not because the dollar fell, not because of some neat inverse chart overlay. Gold as an asset was in demand — globally, across currencies.
This is the ultimate proof that gold trades on its own flows. When buyers want gold, they don’t care whether DXY is flat, rising, or falling. They buy gold, and the charts across multiple currencies show it.
What Sophistication Really Looks Like
If you really want to be sophisticated, here’s what you do:
You see a clear bullish trend in XAUUSD. At the same time, you notice a clear bearish trend in EURUSD — which means the dollar is strong. Most traders get stuck here. Their brain short-circuits: “Wait, how can gold rise if the dollar is also strong?”
But the sophisticated trader doesn’t waste time arguing with a textbook correlation. Instead, they look for the trade that makes sense: buy XAU/EUR.
Because if gold is strong and the euro is weak, the real opportunity isn’t in fighting with DXY — it’s in positioning yourself where you can earn more. That’s not correlation thinking. That’s flow thinking.
Final Thoughts
The dollar–gold inverse correlation is a myth that refuses to die. Traders cling to it because it feels simple and safe. But real trading requires letting go of illusions and facing complexity head-on.
Gold is an independent asset. It rises and falls because of demand, not because the dollar happens to be moving the other way. Once you stop staring at DXY and start trading the flows that actually drive gold, you’ll leave frustration behind and step into sophistication.
🚀 If you still need DXY to tell you where gold is going, you’re not trading gold — you’re trading your own illusions.
GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Great start to the week with our 1H chart idea playing out as analysed.
We started with our Bullish target 3653 being hit, followed with emA5 cross and lock opening 3678 - This was also hit perfectly completing the setup.
We will now look for a ema56 cross and lock above 3678 for a continuation into 3702 or failure to lock above 3678 will follow with a rejection into the lower Goldturns for support and bounce.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

Gold Analysis – Correction Not Yet Over (IMO)Yesterday, after printing a new ATH at 3674, Gold sold off aggressively and overnight reached a low of 3620.
Now the key question: Is Gold done correcting?
👉 My answer: Not yet.
Here’s why:
1. The 550 pip drop from the top is barely scratching the surface compared to the 3500 pip rally in the last two weeks.
2. Yesterday’s daily candle is a bearish pin bar. While this pattern is weaker in strong uptrends, it can still trigger continuation.
3. Structurally, the market looks like it’s forming an ABC correction. The current rebound may be wave B, with wave C expected to target the 3570 zone.
4. Confluence supports act like magnets once corrections begin. The zone I’m watching aligns with the 23% Fibonacci retracement, which fits perfectly with the correction scenario.
📌 Trading Plan:
As long as 3675 holds, I remain bearish in the short term. The best strategy is to sell rallies against the ATH, targeting deeper retracement levels.
Complacency Before the Fall? Bulls in Control, But For How Long?Yesterday, I was debating whether last week’s consolidation was a rectangle (suggesting continuation) or, in fact, a triple top (hinting at correction). I began the session with a slightly bearish bias, but the reversal from support and the subsequent breakout above the consolidation’s resistance forced me to reevaluate. The breakout was clean, momentum followed, and the market even printed a new ATH at 3689.
Unfortunately, my pending buy order wasn’t filled, so I remain flat for now—an important reminder that in trading, sometimes discipline keeps you safe, even if you miss an opportunity.
Technical outlook:
• Price broke above resistance, confirming bullish control.
• The 3660 zone now acts as key support—any dips into that area can be treated as potential buying opportunities.
• The measured target for this breakout points toward 3710, which could represent the next objective for the bulls.
But here’s the psychological twist:
The market feels euphoric and complacent at this moment. Historically, reversals from this type of mindset tend to be brutal. Traders get comfortable, start believing in endless uptrends, and that’s exactly when the trapdoor opens.
Medium-term, I still anticipate a significant correction. Timing it is always the hardest part, but acknowledging the risk helps keep emotions under control. For now, bulls clearly hold the wheel—but they may not realize they’re driving toward a cliff.
🚀 Stay sharp, trade the trend, but don’t forget that markets punish overconfidence.
XAUUSD Bears Hold the Line at 3650 zone – Next Stop 3570?In yesterday’s analysis, I mentioned that in my view, OANDA:XAUUSD ’s correction is not yet complete and that we could be inside an unfolding ABC-type structure. I also suggested that the 3650 zone should be the main focus for bears.
Indeed, price rallied into that zone, consolidated in a small distribution phase, and then started to roll back down again.
At the time of writing, gold is trading at 3632, after retesting the 3623 recent low, which now acts as short-term support.
Looking forward, my idea remains unchanged: I expect another leg down, with 3570 as the next major target. For now, the 3650–3660 area acts as a strong ceiling, and if we look closely, one could even argue a potential double top is forming—if we discount the 3674 spike that marked the ATH.
On the other hand, a stabilization above 3660 would invalidate this bearish scenario and open the door for a new ATH. 🚀
XAUUSD Short: Correction After the All-Time HighHello, traders! The prior market structure for XAUUSD was a prolonged consolidation range, from which the price broke out with significant bullish momentum. This breakout initiated a powerful upward trend, with the price auction pushing through multiple resistance levels to establish a new all-time high. This marked the climax of the recent buying initiative.
Currently, following the peak at the ATH, the market has entered a corrective phase. Sellers have taken control in the short term, and the price is now declining from the highs. The auction is presently challenging the first major demand zone located between 3585 and 3570, but the bearish momentum appears strong.
The primary scenario anticipates a continuation of this corrective move. The expectation is that the current 3570 demand level will fail to hold against the selling pressure. A confirmed breakdown below this demand zone would validate the short thesis and open the path for a deeper correction towards the main ascending trend line. The take-profit is therefore set at 3565, targeting the area immediately following this breakdown. Manage your risk!

Gold Faces 3700 USD Resistance – Reversal or Breakout?👋Hello everyone, what do you think about the trend of OANDA:XAUUSD ?
Currently, gold is trading around 3645 USD in a price box, almost unchanged compared to the same session yesterday. Alternating rises and pullbacks indicate accumulation. Investors are now eagerly waiting for the upcoming CPI and Unemployment Claims data. If results come out weaker for the USD, gold may find an opportunity to challenge the key 3700 USD level.
Let’s wait for the results and see how gold will move!
Good luck!
THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
Red box targets completed, the move on the KOG report completed, hot spots completed and a TAP AND BOUNCE from the lower hot spot giving us the move upside. Not a bad day at all!
Now, we're in a little cloudy water due to price coming back to it's mean which we suggested yesterday. We have resistance above at the 3650 level and support below at the 3630 level which really need to break for bears to take some temporary control. We would say below 3650 we're seeing more downside, but a break of 3620 will make it easier, and, if we want to go up ideally a break of the red box. Otherwise, late session, not worth doing anything with gold where it is and sentiment near neutral.
As always, trade safe.

Gold Pullback Toward 3,630 as Uptrend Remains IntactHey Traders, in tomorrow's trading session we are monitoring XAUUSD (Gold) for a buying opportunity around the 3,630 zone. Gold is trading in an uptrend, with price currently correcting toward this key support/resistance level.
Structure: The broader bias remains bullish, but price is retracing after recent highs.
Key level in focus: 3,630 — a significant zone where buyers may look to rejoin the prevailing trend.
Fundamentals: A softer U.S. Dollar and steady demand for safe-haven assets continue to support the case for Gold strength on dips.
Trade safe,
Joe.
