Gold Rebuilds Structure Above $3940, Eyeing $4030 Liquidity Pool
🔍 Market Context
Gold is attempting to regain bullish momentum as safe-haven demand remains supported by rising geopolitical tensions and uncertainty around the upcoming US ADP employment data.
The market continues to oscillate between risk aversion and rate expectations — with the Fed’s hawkish tone keeping the Dollar capped but steady.
At the same time, capital flow rotation from equities into defensive assets is quietly supporting the metal’s structural recovery, with gold holding above key liquidity levels despite intraday volatility.
📊 Technical Analysis (H1–H4)
After forming a double-bottom structure near $3,938, XAU/USD has reclaimed the 38.2% retracement zone (3,974–3,975) from its previous bearish leg.
This area now acts as a pivot zone, separating short-term bullish continuation from potential retracement.
The chart reveals a classic liquidity cycle shift:
Phase 1: Sweep of downside liquidity below 3,930, marking an internal structural low.
Phase 2: Expansion leg reclaiming short-term FVGs, signaling a potential smart money accumulation phase.
Phase 3: Repricing toward upper liquidity targets aligned with Fibonacci extensions.
Key Technical Zones:
• 💎 Liquidity Base: 3,938 – 3,950 (recent demand re-entry area)
• 🎯 Rejection Zone 1: 3,974 – 3,999 (previous inefficiency block)
• ⚙️ Target Zone: 4,033 – 4,045 (1.272–1.618 Fibo extensions, liquidity pool)
• ⚠️ Invalidation: Break below 3,920 would shift structure back to distribution.
🎯 MMFLOW Scenario
If gold sustains above the 3,950 support cluster, buyers are likely to extend the retracement toward 3,999–4,033 where resting liquidity sits.
A clean rejection from 4,000 could trigger an intraday pullback — but as long as price holds above the 3,938 OB base, the bullish recovery structure remains intact.
The short-term narrative favors controlled accumulation, suggesting that smart money is building positions into liquidity zones before the next impulsive move.
⚜️ MMFLOW Insight:
“Liquidity isn’t random — it’s engineered. Every move leaves a footprint, and gold is tracing its next one above $3,950.”

#XAUUSD – H4 Higher Timeframe Analysis
## 📊
Refining the structure on H4, we can clearly mark key zones from where high-probability trades may trigger ✅
---
### 🟥 Key Supply Zone: 4026 – 4048
Price has reacted from this zone multiple times last week.
So, if price retests this area and we see 1–2 strong H1 bearish candle closures, we may look for a sell setup 🛑📉
Sell Plan (if rejection)
* ✨ Entry: 4026 – 4048 rejection
* 🛑 SL: H1 candle closing above 4050–4055
* 🎯 TP: To be updated live based on price reaction
---
### 🟩 Bullish Breakout Scenario
If price breaks & sustains above 4048 and we get a convincing H4 bullish closing, then we can shift to buy bias ✅
Buy Plan (if breakout)
* 📈 Target 1: 4080 – 4120
* 📈 Target 2 / Final Resistance: 4115 – 4160
This final zone (4115–4160) aligns with the Fibonacci 0.50 – 0.618 golden pocket, so if we see 1–2 bearish H4 candle confirmations, this area could offer a high-reward swing short opportunity 🏛💰

XAUUSD Bear Cycle has started and this is why according to VIX.Gold (XAUUSD) closed 2 straight red weeks, which last did on June 23. Despite this pull-back, it remains within a Channel Up since the October 31 2022 Low, which was essentially when the Bear Cycle ended and the new Bull Cycle (Channel Up) started.
The previous Bull Cycle topped around 4.5 months after the Volatility Index (VIX) shown in blue, peaked during the March 2020 COVID flash crash.
We are now on a similar situation as VIX topped on the week of March 31 2025 during the Trade War and has since started to decline aggressively. Gold's current top was 6.5 months after VIX's top. Even the 1W RSI sequences between the two Bull Cycles are similar, further raising the degree of their high symmetry.
According to this correlation, Gold may has already formed its Bull Cycle Top 3 weeks ago and could be starting a new +2 year Bear Cycle.
As far as a Target and Bottom is concerned, the previous Bear Cycle almost hit its 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level three times throughout the Cycle, until it broke below it marginally for its September - October 2022 bottom.
As a result, we are looking for the 0.382 Fib yet again as our focal point which is currently around $3000.

Report 4/11/25My take
By Thursday, Nov 6, Tesla shareholders are widely expected to approve a record incentive plan for Elon Musk that hard-wires governance around a “physical-AI” vision (robotaxis + humanoid robots) that still contributes almost nothing to current cash flow. Street frameworks now ascribe the majority of TSLA’s value to those options (Robotaxi ~45%, Optimus ~19%), with autos/FSD/energy the minority. The market’s message: governance clarity > near-term delivery softness. Around that, Big Tech just drew a bright line between asset-heavy AI (Meta, Alphabet) and asset-lighter cash return (Apple), while cloud scale (Microsoft, AWS) remains the only place AI capex throws off immediate P&L. Macro remains risk-supportive: a fragile U.S.–China truce shaved tail risks; September CPI printed 3.0% y/y; labor demand is eroding slowly rather than breaking; tariffs haven’t been the inflation doomsday nor a manufacturing panacea; and the Fed’s bias is to cushion jobs.
Bottom line for the next 1–4 weeks: constructive equities, a heavy-ish dollar, oil with a floor (China stockpiling), gold supported on dips, and U.S. duration underpinned by the Fed’s growth-risk focus. TSLA trades on path-dependence headlines (vote, autonomy milestones) more than quarterly units.
What happened
Tesla’s governance and the “optionality premium.”
The Nov 6 vote would lift Musk’s potential stake toward ~25% upon hitting extremely ambitious hurdles (including ~$8.5T market value within ~10 years). Bulls argue Musk’s speed, data advantage, and “touching the physical world” moat justify paying now for AI scale later; bears see a long monetization runway with FSD still supervised and Robotaxi “in park.” Either way, approval reduces overhangs (control/retention), which usually compresses risk premia short term even if fundamentals haven’t changed.
AI spending bifurcation.
Meta’s rising capex/depreciation turned it into a show-me stock; Alphabet is spending even more but can rent out capacity via Cloud; Apple stays asset-light and keeps the cash-return flywheel spinning. Microsoft and AWS are the current “AI rainmakers,” monetizing AI demand through cloud—and the OpenAI–Amazon multiyear compute pact reinforces AWS’s backlog and narrative.
Banks leaning into returns.
Bank of America’s investor day (Wed, Nov 5) will likely pivot rhetoric from “responsible growth” to “more growth” with a higher ROTCE target (16–18%). In a soft-landing tape with Fed cuts still in play, that’s a tailwind for large-cap financials and the Dow, provided investors buy the bridge from talk to delivery.
Macro backdrop.
A partial U.S.–China detente (tariffs eased at the margin, rare-earth curbs delayed, soybean purchases back) removed worst-case escalation—for now. CPI at 3.0% and the Fed’s emphasis on employment risks (Gov. Cook) keep cuts live. Tariff pass-through has been muted (firms eating a chunk via margins and rerouting), reducing the odds of a policy-error inflation spike. China’s aggressive crude stockpiling plus Russia-flow workarounds put a floor under oil—limiting downside even in oversupplied quarters.
Cross-asset impact
S&P 500 (SPX).
Bias remains upward with a “breadth-with-quality” tilt. Cloud/platform names with direct AI monetization (and discipline on capex) should out-earn pure spenders; financials benefit if BofA’s playbook catalyzes a sector rerate; cyclicals get a small boost from trade calm. Watch: any hawkish inflection from the Fed or a re-flare in tariffs would hit multiples first.
Dow Jones (DJI).
Constructive. Banks + industrials + energy benefit from (i) ROTCE rhetoric, (ii) tariff de-escalation optics, (iii) a firmer crude floor. Downside risk: fresh U.S.–Canada tariff noise would nick North American industrials/autos sentiment.
DXY (U.S. Dollar Index).
Leaning softer into year-end as the Fed prioritizes labor risks and trade frictions cool. The path isn’t linear—enforcement shocks (Russia energy, export bans) can create tactical USD squeezes—but base case is a 97–100 range with a drift lower on any dovish Fed signaling.
USDJPY.
Still elevated on policy divergence and higher oil, with 151–155 the volatility zone. A softer broad USD from trade calm + Fed cuts could cap upside, but without a BOJ policy shift or stealth action, dips are shallow. Event risk: rapid yen spikes if authorities lean harder near 153–155.
XAUUSD (Gold).
Supported on dips. Central-bank demand + sanctions/geopolitical hedging offset drag from positive real yields. Improved risk mood can stall upside tactically; structurally the bid persists. Expect a choppy but rising channel if DXY eases and policy uncertainty (tariffs, elections, sanctions) lingers.
Crude (Brent).
Range with a floor. China’s stockpiling and episodic sanctions headlines keep $63–$70 plausible near term; sustained upside requires tougher enforcement that truly crimps Russian flows/financing. Macro risk-on + trade de-escalation argue against a collapse toward low-$50s unless China slows buying.
Tesla: how to think about risk/reward into and after the vote
Into Nov 6: Approval removes a governance overhang; shares tend to trade with an “execution optionality” premium when control/continuity is secured.
Near term (0–6 months): Fundamentals remain EV-demand sensitive (post-credit pull-forward) and FSD is still supervised; the stock trades on catalysts—pilot Robotaxi progress, Optimus milestones, AI data-center scaling, and regulatory signposts.
Medium term (6–24 months): Multiple durability depends on converting narrative power into cash-flow line-items: real autonomy miles under permissive regimes, unit economics for robots, and take-rates that move revenue/GM. Without that, the equity re-anchors to autos/energy cash generation.
Strategy notes & positioning ideas
Equities: Favor quality cloud/platforms with visible AI monetization; barbell with selective financials (ROTCE momentum) and international value where USD softness helps.
Rates/FX: Modest long in belly duration still works while the Fed leans growth-risk; fade USD strength on enforcement headlines; respect yen intervention risk above ~153.
Commodities: Brent call spreads over puts while China is stockpiling; keep strategic gold as policy/geopolitical hedge.
TSLA: Treat post-vote strength as path-dependent: add only against concrete autonomy/robot milestones, reduce on governance pass-through without operating proof.
GOLD (XAU/USD): Bulls Eye $4,125 – Breakout Imminent?Gold dropped to a significant horizontal support level last week.
The price subsequently rebounded from this level, forming a rising triangle pattern on a 4-hour timeframe.
The neckline of this triangle is defined by an intraday horizontal resistance.
Its bullish violation (4H candle close above) can be a nice trigger to buy Gold with a confirmation.
Should this occur, a bullish continuation towards 4125 would be anticipated.
Conversely, a bearish movement and a break below the vertical support level could potentially lead to a further decline in price.
Gold on Intra-day Selling pressureTechnical analysis: Sellers still haven’t missed their estimate as Gold aggressively invalidated #4,000.80 benchmark on multiple occasions (posing as an hard Support zone), due geo-political tensions as a strong catalyst which is putting DX in High demand on Weekly interval. Environment and general market sentiment remains however Gold friendly (about to engage relief rally) due to the Supply-Demand mechanism. DX and Gold are still diagonally correlated, their charts are again on Positive-Negative match which is elemental sign of correlation. This suggests that DX tested its multi-Month Resistance zone, and Gold is under mild Selling pressure. This doesn't affect my local Low’s Buying strategy even though Gold is isolated within Hourly 4 chart healthy Descending Channel that by my estimations will sustain according to all accounts and there are no signs of a rebound yet (it is a reversal pattern most of the times). Weekly chart was Trading near strong Support belt which was aggressively corrected Intra-day so I will not make a strategy shift and will trust my Medium to Long-term Bull model as long as Buying spree on Gold lasts. I have to be excessively careful with today's session as it represents crossroads for the Short-term.
My position: I have Sold Bought Gold throughout yesterday's session from #3,998.80 especially towards #4,008.80 (aggressive Scalps) and called it for the session. Gold delivered significant Intra-day losses on Asian session and turned timefrimes to Bearish territory. Today is Intra-day Sell session and will continue Selling Gold from my key entry points.

Gold is sideways and waiting for a breakout⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold (XAU/USD) slips toward $4,000 in early Asian trading on Tuesday as investors scale back expectations for additional Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts. Markets now await comments from Fed Governor Michelle Bowman later in the day.
Last week, the Fed delivered its second rate cut of the year, lowering the benchmark range to 3.75%–4.00%. However, Chair Jerome Powell’s remark that another cut is “not a foregone conclusion” reinforced a hawkish tone, pressuring the non-yielding metal.

Gold Forming Bearish Three Drives Pattern Below Channel MidlineHi team!
Gold has formed a double top near the upper boundary of a long-term ascending channel, signaling potential exhaustion of the bullish momentum. After breaking below the local support and retesting it, price created a lower high, which confirms a short-term bearish structure.
Currently, the market is consolidating below the midline of the new channel. The recent sequence of moves is forming a potential Three Drives pattern, where Drive 1 and Drive 2 are already complete, and a possible Drive 3 could be developing.
If price fails to reclaim the main support zone around $4,000–$4,050, we can expect a continuation to the downside toward:
$3,815 – the first key support level and measured target for Drive 3.
$3,604 – the next major support zone and lower boundary of the broader channel.
As long as price remains below the recent swing highs, the bearish scenario remains valid. A clear break above the midline of the channel would invalidate this setup and suggest a potential reversal.

XAUUSD UPDATEhi everyone
For this upward movement, the first resistance is at the 3494 level. A breakout at this level would also coincide with a breakout of the trendline. If both the trendline and resistance are broken, the price is likely to move toward the next resistance at 4984. The target price could reach the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
I’m also interested in entering a long position around the 3862 area. However, if the support at 3884 breaks, I will reconsider the setup
good luck all

GOLD $4,381 — Cyclical Top or Local Top?Has the price of gold reached its final bullish cycle high at $4,381 during the trading session of Monday, October 20? That session marked the end of an upward inertia phase in precious metals prices, triggering the first retracement since mid-August. However, a retracement does not necessarily mean a final cycle top or the start of a long-term bearish trend.
To confirm that gold has made its annual top this October in the commodities market, several technical and fundamental conditions must be met — and at this stage, they are not.
1) To confirm a major cycle top, a strong resistance level and a clear bearish reversal pattern must be observed
Looking back at gold’s price history, we can refer to the long distribution phase of 2011–2012, which concluded a bullish trend that had begun at the start of the century. This was followed by a four-year bear market, before a new long-term uptrend began in January 2016.
What about the current long-term technical setup? Monthly chart data provide insight into the broader cycle. Gold has been building its fifth bullish wave since the breakout above its former all-time high in March 2024, already exceeding several theoretical price targets based on Fibonacci extensions. The $4,300 region aligns with two major extensions, including the 1.618 “golden ratio” extension of wave 3.
However, that alone is not enough to confirm that the cycle top occurred at $4,381. At this stage, there is no distribution pattern or major support break. A drop below $3,400 would be a strong signal of a completed bullish cycle.
2) Gold’s cyclical top will occur when the US dollar confirms a medium-term bullish reversal
Gold’s cyclical top will coincide with the moment the US Dollar (USD) establishes a sustained bullish reversal. Gold and the dollar usually move in opposite directions: a stronger dollar reduces the appeal of gold for international investors. Once the dollar confirms an upward trend reversal, capital will progressively rotate away from gold — signaling the end of the metal’s bullish phase.
The chart below shows the weekly candlesticks of the US Dollar Index (DXY) against a basket of major currencies, highlighting the bullish reversals seen in 2018 and 2021.
3) Gold’s cyclical top will be reached when outflows dominate in GOLD ETFs
The gold cycle will top out when capital outflows from gold-backed ETFs become dominant. Inflows into these funds usually reflect investor appetite for the metal. When these inflows slow and reverse, it shows a gradual disengagement from gold’s financial demand — which has played a major role in its 2025 price rally.
This shift marks the maturity of the bullish phase. Therefore, the dominance of ETF outflows is an early indicator of an impending gold cycle reversal. For now, according to World Gold Council data, that situation has not yet materialized.

Gold Intraday Trading Plan 11/3/2025As explained in my weekly post, I am bullish on gold right now. For today's setup, I will look for buying opportunities from 3965-3972. If the line in the chart holds, gold will form a bullish wedge, which is a sign of upward continuation. My target for today is 4128.
GOLD XAUUSD 4HR CHARTBUYERS ARE ON CAUTION MODE ,the rejection at 4033-4043 was watched critically for possible break and close ,but buyers failed after many attempt on the descending trendline line .the close of 4th saw more correction following a new found hope for dollar index after the index break and close of daily supply roof, now dollar index approaching 100 $ mark.
the Sydney /Asian gold buyers seen to be on cautious mode on the current demand floor 3921-3933 level, should they try to buy it will still end in sell hopefully around any possible retest zone .
technical support based on strategy will be 3855-3865 zone
technical support zone based on strategy will be 3753.67-3745 zone .

FUNDAMENTAL ON GOLD .
Gold's reclassification as a Basel III Tier 1 asset marks a significant upgrade in how regulators and banks view gold within global financial systems.
Why Gold is Reclassified as Basel III Tier 1
Tier 1 Status Definition: Under Basel III, Tier 1 assets are the highest quality capital assets that banks can use to meet their core capital requirements. These assets carry a 0% risk weight, reflecting their safety, liquidity, and reliability as capital.
Gold’s Historical Status: Gold has already been recognized as a Tier 1 asset for capital adequacy since the Basel I Accords in 1988, due to its status as a safe store of value with very low default risk.
New Recognition (2025): Starting July 1, 2025, physical gold held by banks can be counted at 100% of its market value in regulatory capital calculations, instead of being subject to significant haircuts or lower classifications (e.g., previously it was treated as a Tier 3 asset with a 50% deduction).
High-Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) Label: This reclassification means gold is now officially recognized as a High-Quality Liquid Asset under Basel III, allowing it to qualify as part of banks’ liquidity coverage ratios (LCR), an important step for liquidity and capital management.
Regulatory Shift: This reflects changing perceptions that gold is not just a commodity but a true monetary asset. It is increasingly accepted as a reliable reserve asset by central banks and financial institutions worldwide.
Central Bank Adoption: This move aligns with continued aggressive gold buying by central banks, recognizing gold’s importance for capital reserves, systemic stability, and as an inflation hedge.
Significance
Banks can fully count gold toward core capital reserves.
Reduces capital burden, improving bank balance sheets and financial resilience.
Endorses gold as a strategic, monetary asset, not just a commodity investment.
Encourages institutional demand for physical gold and gold-related financial products.
Summary
Gold was reclassified as a Basel III Tier 1 asset starting July 1, 2025, reflecting its highest quality capital standing with 0% risk weighting and full market value recognition. This elevates gold’s status to a High-Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) for regulatory purposes, facilitating banks’ liquidity coverage and capital adequacy. The change signals a major regulatory and market shift, acknowledging gold as a core reserve and strategic financial asset in modern banking systems.
#GOLD #XAUUSD
ANFIBO | XAUUSD - Stuck in Sideway channel [11.6.2025]Hi guys, Anfibo's here!
XAUUSD Analysis – Daily Trading Plan
Overall Picture:
At present, OANDA:XAUUSD is moving sideways within a well-defined H1 channel, showing signs of short-term consolidation after recent volatility. The market is currently lacking a clear directional bias, as both buyers and sellers are testing the upper and lower bounds of this intraday structure. Such conditions often favor range-trading strategies, where precision and timing become crucial for capturing short bursts of momentum.
In this context, our plan today remains straightforward and tactical — trade directly off the trendlines of the channel. In other words, we will look to buy at the lower boundary of the range and sell near the upper boundary, while also being prepared to switch positions if a breakout occurs in either direction.
Trading Plan for Today:
>>> SELL ZONE:
(1) ENTRY: 4015 - 4025
SL: 4030
TP: 4050
(2) ENTRY: 4060 - 4080
SL: 4090
TP: 4000 - 3955
Risk Management:
- Stick to small-to-medium positions within the range; increase size only on confirmed breakouts.
- Keep stops tight, as sideways phases tend to trigger false signals.
- Maintain Risk:Reward ≥ 1:2 and avoid overtrading in choppy conditions.
- Reassess bias once the H1 channel is clearly broken.
Conclusion:
Gold is currently in a sideways consolidation phase within its H1 channel, awaiting fresh catalysts to determine direction. Until a decisive breakout occurs, the most effective approach is range trading — buying near support, selling near resistance, and reacting dynamically to any confirmed breakout.
The plan today is simple yet strategic:
Patience and discipline will be key to capitalizing on this quiet yet potentially explosive setup.
HAVE A NICE DAY, GUYS!
