Gold Montly Overview and PlansGold closed October with a bullish hammer and notable volume, signaling a potential reversal and clear rejection above the 4500 level Could Gold be looking to build value within the 3500–4000 zone? Very possible; which would be both healthy and expected in a macro uptrend. I’m looking for a swing long upon a sweep of the quarterly open combined with the daily 50 EMA. Invalidation sits at the low of the daily bullish order block and target would be the daily Bear FVG. As of now, 4H structure remains bearish while price continues to respect the 4H bearish order block and we are compressing within the EMAs. Price has been around the 4H MSB but still has not printed a strong Break of Structure Candle to confirm a shift. This swing long thesis fails if price takes liquidity to the upside first. Even though I'm bullish on gold overall, I’m leaning toward a bearish close for November given that October's close is a key reversal signal in my system. Still, I expect at least the daily Bear FVG to be filled, as wicks tend to get filled toward the 50% region, especially when considering the monthly wick. Historically, November tends to favor bullishness, but here I'm speaking strictly from a structure and price-action perspective.

Elliott Wave Analysis XAUUSD – November 6, 2025 🔹 Momentum D1 timeframe: The D1 momentum is now closing in, signaling a possible transition phase with two potential outcomes: • If today’s D1 candle closes bullish (green): momentum is likely to reverse upward, suggesting a short-term bullish correction. • If today’s candle closes bearish (red): the downtrend may continue. The current momentum behavior is unusual, reflecting market indecision between buyers and sellers after a strong decline. As a result, even a small impulse from either side could cause a quick momentum shift. H4 timeframe: Momentum on H4 is still in a downward phase but already showing early signs of closing and potential bullish reversal. • If the current H4 candle closes bearish, the downtrend may extend. • If it closes bullish and momentum turns upward, price could retest the 4028 zone. H1 timeframe: Momentum on H1 is now entering the oversold area, indicating that a reversal could occur within 1–2 more H1 candles. If momentum turns down again from resistance, this could offer an opportunity for a short-term sell (scalp) around the nearest liquidity zone. ________________________________________ 🔹 Wave Structure D1 timeframe: As discussed in previous plans, the current structure still forms a W–X–Y correction in yellow, representing wave (4) of the larger cycle. • The W wave has already reached the 0.382 retracement of wave (3) yellow — which often marks the typical end zone of wave 4. • Therefore, the following X and Y waves may take longer to complete to maintain time balance within wave (4). Meanwhile, the X wave (purple) remains relatively shallow, having retraced only about 0.236 of wave W (purple). Combined with the still-uncertain momentum discussed above, a potential rise toward the 4149 zone remains a realistic scenario. However, if today’s D1 candle closes bearish, price could continue lower to complete wave Y (purple). Given the current structure favors time balance rather than depth, this Y wave may unfold sideways rather than deeply downward. At this stage, price is compressed within a narrow range, reflecting market hesitation. It’s best to wait for major catalysts such as the Nonfarm Payrolls report, which could trigger the next decisive move. ________________________________________ H4 timeframe: The current X wave is developing within a narrow range under the form of a contracting triangle (a–b–c–d–e). A triangle can only be confirmed once all five internal legs are completed. Once that happens, a breakout above or below the triangle boundaries will define the next direction. 👉 For now, observation should be prioritized over action. ________________________________________ H1 timeframe: Wave labeling on H1 is somewhat noisy due to overlapping three-wave structures within a tightening range. Tentatively, the labeling shows a W–X–Y correction in green, where wave X appears to be a triangle formation. A final small drop forming wave e could complete this triangle (wave X in green). Once it’s done, a new Y wave in green may start unfolding upward. ________________________________________ 🔹 Summary At present, the market remains noisy and compressed, making it unsuitable for swing entries. • Avoid swing positions until the structure and momentum become clearer. • Focus only on short-term scalp setups around key liquidity zones identified earlier. • Wait for confirmation of direction and structure before committing to larger trades.

GOLD Remains Bullish and a Little TrickyGOLD Remains Bullish and a Little Tricky Also, today gold remains without any clear momentum. Despite being in a strong uptrend, the price is still not taking direction. We have to be very careful with this long pause because it is not usual for Gold. However, so far we have no sign of a change in trend. Only whoever created the big bullish wave that doubled the price of gold can push it down. I see no other reason for gold to move down. It has been a long time since it served as a hedge against inflation, war, and difficult times. However, this is only my personal opinion. Overal,l Gold is in a big mess. You may find more details in the chart! Thank you and Good Luck! ❤️PS: Please support with a like or comment if you find this analysis useful for your trading day❤️

XAUUSD 🎯 My Summary & View For Yellow metal Bias: Bullish, provided support holds. Strategy Suggestion: Consider long entries on retests of support zones or after a confirmed breakout above resistance. Place stop-losses just below the confirmed support to protect against sudden turnarounds. Set profit targets at the next logical resistance / structure zone. Watch-outs: If price breaks below key support and closes there, the bullish thesis weakens. Overbought conditions / exhaustion of momentum could lead to consolidation or a shallow correction even while trend remains up. Keep an eye on macro events (Fed decisions, USD strength, geopolitical flare-ups) since gold is sensitive to those ⚠️ Risk Disclaimer Trading financial instruments such as gold (XAUUSD), forex, cryptocurrencies, and other markets involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

Gold/Oil Signaling Market Is In A Super Bubble Gold = Fear Oil = how strong the economy is. Except for COVID we have never seen such an extreme reading. Yet people are buying up stocks like we will never again be able to produce another stock again as long as we live! Tulips! Here are just a few of the factors to consider that make this indicator important. Why This Indicator Matters: Key Factors at a Glance Gold’s Surge Signals a Shift Gold has soared nearly 60% year-to-date, adding a staggering $10 trillion in market capitalization. This rally effectively erases all the stock market gains made since May 2021, including those driven by AI enthusiasm and speculative tech runs. USD Can Only Be Measured Against Gold As the world’s reserve currency, the U.S. dollar’s real value is best gauged in terms of gold. This is a critical point—because when gold rises this dramatically, it reflects monetary inflation. A large part of the stock market rally has been driven by an expanding money supply, not true value creation. Curiously, this inflation hasn’t shown up in oil prices, which have collapsed, despite geopolitical risks. More on that below. The Dollar’s Worst Year in Decades 2025 marks one of the most significant declines for the U.S. dollar in recent history. Its role as the world reserve currency (WRC) has diminished—from 85% in the 1970s to just 50% today. Trade wars and tariffs are only accelerating this trend. Monetary Inflation Drives Stock Prices Stock markets are being lifted by monetary inflation, not organic growth. Stocks can be created endlessly—unlike gold. That makes gold a true inflation benchmark. The stock market’s rise is, in large part, a mirage, reflecting debased currency, not real productivity. Oil Isn’t Behaving as Expected—Why? Typically, when the dollar weakens, oil prices rise—because more dollars are needed to buy the same barrel of oil. But right now, oil prices are soft. Why? Global demand is weak, outpaced by supply. Even the Russia-Ukraine war hasn’t changed that dynamic. In fact, Russia is now importing gasoline, as Ukrainian forces continue to target and disable refining capacity. Here’s why this matters: when oil wells are opened, they can't just be turned off. If the refiners are destroyed and the oil has nowhere to go—it’s wasted. That’s a strategic win for Ukraine. The Disconnect Between Stock Prices and Profits While inflation has pushed stock prices higher, it hasn’t translated into equivalent profit growth. Example: If a stock goes from $10 to $20 due to inflation, you'd expect earnings to go from $1 to $2 to maintain the same P/E ratio. Instead, the earnings yield is just 3.2%—a historical low. That’s a major red flag. As pilots would say: WTF, over? Here’s the likely explanation: The money hasn’t reached consumers—it's concentrated in the hands of wealthy savers and leveraged investors, who are buying more stocks to sell to the next buyer willing to lever up even more. It’s a classic feedback loop—and a superbubble reminiscent of the tulip mania era. The Smart Money Knows What's Coming As this imbalance grows more obvious, central banks and institutional investors are quietly increasing their gold holdings—well above the pace of supply growth. So when Gold/Oil (two important commodities) completely disconnect like this, and Gold explodes up like this, you'd better take notice! Lastly, it takes 100 ounces to buy a new home. Last time this occurred was in 1978 ish, 2011, and now! Debt to GDP in 76 was 33%, 2011 was 99% and today 126% It is not the same animal as the past. GTFO & STFO! No matter where the prices for stocks go! CAUTION!!!

XAUUSD: Tension Builds as the Market Awaits DirectionWhat’s really happening here? If you take a close look at today’s XAUUSD chart, you’ll notice a very dramatic picture: gold prices are being tightly compressed inside a converging triangle pattern. This is a classic formation that reflects the battle between two market forces: - Buyers are forming higher lows, showing increasing buying pressure. - Sellers, on the other hand, continue to hold lower highs, consistently blocking every upward attempt. As these two trendlines move closer together, the market becomes like a compressed spring; the longer it’s squeezed, the stronger the move will be once it’s released. So, what does this mean? In my view, it shows that gold is currently in a highly sensitive accumulation phase, and any breakout could trigger a major move in a new direction. - If the price breaks above the 4,020 – 4,030 USD resistance zone, it could be the first signal of a new bullish wave targeting 4,070 – 4,100 USD. - Conversely, if it breaks below the 3,960 USD support, a bearish scenario will likely unfold, pulling the price back toward 3,910 – 3,880 USD. 🔹 How to identify a real breakout (my way): - Wait for confirmation with a strong closing candle and high volume. - A successful retest of the broken zone (which now switches roles: resistance → support or vice versa) will serve as a “golden certificate” for a sustainable breakout. - And remember, false breakouts often occur right before the market truly explodes. 🔹 Risk factors (from my perspective): - If gold breaks the boundary without volume or with long-wicked candles, it could simply be a trap set by major players. - Once the price falls back inside the triangle after a breakout, the entire structure becomes invalid. ✅ Conclusion (in my view): - Gold (XAUUSD) is now in the “calm before the storm” phase. - Buyers are quietly accumulating near support areas, while sellers defend the last line of resistance. - A clear and confirmed breakout in either direction could set the stage for a big move this week. Stay disciplined: - Wait for breakout + confirmation + retest; that’s how you stay on the right side of the market and avoid false signals. This is not financial advice, just my personal view of today’s chart — my way. Trade safely and patiently, because sometimes doing nothing is also a strategy.

Gold consolidates below $4000Gold is continuing to consolidate inside of a dynamic support area below $4000 level. Volumes have dropped to the new low for the 4-weeks period, but open interest starts to slowly build at current price levels. The market may need more time to complete the consolidation and resume moving in the upward direction. Before bouncing back, it might retest the $3900 price area as shown at the chart. Absence of macro economic publications freezes trading activity across the board, as traders lack new driving narratives. Don't forget - this is just the idea, always do your own research and never forget to manage your risk!

GOLD → Consolidation within a symmetrical triangle The market is holding gold back from strong movement, forming short jumps from zone to zone within consolidation. We have a symmetrical triangle within an upward correction channel. Key supporting factors: The US shutdown is becoming the longest in history, increasing economic risks. China is canceling tax breaks for retailers. Trump may announce new tariffs related to China. ISM Manufacturing PMI data (US) is ahead - a rare indicator during the shutdown. The probability of a Fed rate cut in December has fallen to 69% (from 91.7% a week ago). Technically, consolidation may continue until the price breaks one of the boundaries of the symmetrical triangle. Support levels: 3990, 3956, 3915 Resistance levels: 4030, 4047, 4085 Traders are uncertain about the future direction, and as a result, the market is consolidating. There are limit levels both below and above that are holding back movement. Accordingly, until there is a clear fundamental background, it is possible to focus on trading within the channel. I expect a rebound from 3960 for a retest of resistance. However, a close above 4030 could trigger growth, while a close below 3956 would confirm the weakness of the market and trigger a fall to 3900. Best regards, R. Linda!

Gold Consolidation Scenario setup what should Next Move ?Gold prices are currently trading in a weak and slow-moving range, as investors remain cautious and wait for a decisive move. From a fundamental perspective, Fed Chair Powell ruled out any guarantees of a rate cut in December, which supported the U.S. dollar and limited gold’s upside momentum the key resistance zone remains around 4000. A breakout above 4000 and sustained bullish momentum could push prices toward the next targets at 4022 and 4045. However, if the price fails to hold above 4000 and continues to look weak, we may see a downside correction toward 3968, and possibly 3920. Resistance zone Target Points : 4022 / 4045 Support zone Target Points : 3968 / 3920 Market remains range-bound and waiting for clear direction before stronger movement resumes.

Gold Market Analysis (November 6th)Gold Market Analysis (November 6th) Data Impact Diminished, Technical Adjustment and Safe-Haven Sentiment Battle I. Market Review and Characteristics Intraday Movement: Gold rebounded in the afternoon after fluctuating at low levels on Tuesday. The positive ADP data in the US session failed to suppress gold prices, resulting in a small positive close on the daily chart, continuing the high-level fluctuation pattern. Key Phenomenon: The market reacted mildly to the ADP data. Tuesday's saturated bearish technical signal was partially digested, indicating that the current market is dominated by sentiment and policy expectations, with the influence of technical factors weakening in the short term. Potential Risks: The non-farm payroll data may be delayed again, and concerns about a US government shutdown may trigger increased safe-haven sentiment, exacerbating emotional volatility in the market. II. In-Depth Analysis of Technical Structure Daily Chart Moving Average Resistance: The price continues to trade below the 5-day/10-day moving average (3995), and the overall structure remains bearish, but yesterday's positive candle weakened the downward momentum. K-line Combination: Tuesday's saturated bearish candle and yesterday's small positive candle form a continuation pattern in the fluctuation range. A breakout of the 3995-4010 resistance zone is needed to confirm the direction. Hourly Chart Cycle Range Convergence: The short-term center of gravity has shifted slightly upward, forming a 3960-3995 oscillation range, with volatility continuing to narrow. Key Points: Break above 3995: May trigger short covering, testing the 4010-4030 resistance zone. Break below 3960: Will open up downside potential, targeting 3930 (lower boundary of the range). III. Fundamental Dynamics and Driving Logic Data Impact Diminished The better-than-expected ADP employment data did not suppress gold prices, reflecting the market's greater focus on the risk of government shutdown and expectations of Fed policy. If the non-farm payroll data is delayed, the market may shift to speculating on political uncertainty, thereby supporting safe-haven demand for gold. Policy and Event Risks Fed Signals: The probability of a rate cut in November remains at 89%, and the low-interest-rate environment continues to provide underlying support for gold. Fiscal Risks: If the government shutdown continues, it may weaken the credibility of economic data and exacerbate market volatility. IV. Trading Strategy and Risk Control Deployment Main Force Tactical Arrangement Short Position (Risk-Reward Ratio 1:2.5) Entry Level: 3990-3992 (Moving Average Resistance Zone) Stop Loss Level: 4005 (Breakthrough of Upper Range) Target Level: 3975 (Reduce Position) → 3965 (Exit) Bull Defense (Lower Boundary Strategy) Trigger Condition: Bullish engulfing pattern or bullish divergence near 3960 Rebound Target: 3980-3990 (Take Profit in Batches) Risk Control Points: Position size ≤ 8%, avoid sudden volatility during data lull periods. If it breaks above 3995, exit short positions and temporarily observe. Pay attention to whether there is a surge in safe-haven buying during the US session. Professional Trader's Perspective: The current market is in a phase of technical and fundamental analysis: Technical: Moving average resistance and the risk of breaking below the range remain; maintain the strategy of shorting on rallies. Fundamental: Data delays and policy uncertainty may weaken technical guidance; be wary of emotional volatility. Best Strategy: Use event-driven trading, set breakout orders at key levels, and strictly control risk with stop-loss orders. Key Note: If the non-farm payrolls report is confirmed to be delayed this week, gold may see a double-driven market of "safe-haven buying + technical correction," and volatility may increase significantly.

Gold Outlook: Bears Stay in ControlGold continues to operate within a bearish market environment characterized by persistent liquidation and declining momentum. The recent structural shift reflects an ongoing reallocation of capital away from defensive metals toward higher-yield instruments, signaling a broader change in market positioning. Trading activity indicates that each upward movement is being met with renewed selling interest, suggesting limited participation from institutional buyers. This behavior aligns with the prevailing sentiment of caution, as investors prioritize stability over speculative exposure. The broader outlook remains subdued, with market conditions favoring continued downside until clearer evidence of renewed demand emerges. Gold’s performance reflects a phase of market adjustment, where declining liquidity and moderate volatility reinforce the persistence of bearish sentiment across the short-term horizon.

Gold Price Tests $4020 ResistanceGold Price Tests $4020 Resistance Today's Trading Strategy: Continue to buy on dips. 1. Market expectations for a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve have cooled, causing the dollar index to retreat from its highs. Neutral to slightly bearish: The high-interest-rate environment is suppressing gold prices. 2. However, the ongoing US government shutdown and escalating international geopolitical tensions are a significant positive factor: safe-haven demand is the main force supporting gold prices. Technical Analysis: Gold prices are currently facing strong resistance in the $4020-$4050 range. As shown in the 4-hour chart: Gold prices are in a triangle consolidation pattern and need to break through key resistance or support levels to determine the next move. Upside Target: If gold prices successfully break through $4020, the next target is $4110. Downside Support: The first short-term support level is around $3960-$3980. The more critical support area is at $3890. As long as gold prices remain above this area, the long-term uptrend structure remains valid. Aggressive Strategy: Buy: 3990-4000 Stop Loss: 3970 Target Price 1: 4050 Target Price 2: 4110 Conservative Strategy: A more conservative strategy is to wait for gold prices to break through $4020 effectively, then establish long positions on a slight pullback, with a stop loss set in the $4020-4000 range, and a target price of $4070-4110. Risk of Failed Breakout: If gold prices repeatedly attempt to break through $4020 but fail, and subsequently fall below the $3980 support level, it indicates that this upward move may have failed, and prices may fall back to the $3930-4000 trading range.

Nov 5, 2025 - XAUUSD GOLD Analysis and Potential Opportunity📊 Analysis: Yesterday formed a solid bearish candle, confirming that downward momentum remains dominant. The key support lies between 3908–3915 — if this zone breaks, bearish momentum will strengthen further. During the Asian session, watch the 3927–3930.5 area closely. If this level holds, a short-term rebound toward 3960–3965 is possible. I’ll be watching that zone for potential short entries from resistance. If price breaks above 3965, it would signal that bearish pressure is fading — only then will I look for buy setups on pullbacks into support. For now, the overall bias remains bearish, though small intraday bounces can occur before any continuation. 🔍 Key Levels to Watch: • 4000 – Psychological level • 3994 – Resistance • 3971–3980 – Resistance zone • 3960–3965 – Major resistance • 3947 – Support • 3927–3930.5 – Support zone • 3908–3915 – Key support • 3900 – Psychological level 📈 Intraday Strategy: SELL: If price breaks below 3927 → target 3922, with further downside toward 3915, 3908, 3905 BUY: If price holds above 3944 → target 3947, with further upside toward 3950, 3953, 3960 (⚠️ short-term rebound setup only — not a trend reversal signal)

The continuous short positions in gold have ended perfectly!Whether gold can break through resistance levels in the near term depends on the convergence of three factors: First, whether the US dollar and US Treasury yields experience a more sustained decline, creating room for discounting; second, whether risk appetite strengthens the "insurance demand" for gold due to equity volatility and increased macroeconomic uncertainty; and third, whether net inflows of funds continue, especially whether passive funds and longer-term allocation funds enter the market simultaneously. If these three factors fail to move in tandem, the price will likely continue to consolidate within the $3930-$4000-$4050 range. If they move in unison, the resistance above these round numbers will weaken more smoothly. It's worth noting that the People's Bank of China suspended its 18-month gold purchase program in May 2024 but resumed it in November of the same year. The market currently expects a 67% probability of a Fed rate cut in December, up from around 60% the previous trading day. The Fed just cut rates last week, and Powell stated that this may be the last rate cut this year. The market's current focus is on macroeconomic data and when the US government shutdown will end—which is also driving safe-haven demand for gold. The congressional gridlock led to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, forcing investors and the data-dependent Federal Reserve to rely on private economic indicators. Since gold does not generate interest income, it typically performs well in low-interest-rate environments and periods of economic uncertainty. Gold Technical Analysis: With the non-farm payroll data still pending, gold prices are likely to fluctuate little tonight, mainly consolidating. The battle between bulls and bears continues throughout the day. During the US session, gold rebounded to around 4027. We had already positioned short positions at 4015 and 4025, which subsequently fell back as expected, resulting in a profitable trade. This week's trading session has concluded perfectly, and we will not participate in the late-session trading. Our strategy remains to short below 4030. From a technical analysis perspective, key resistance and support levels need to be monitored. The upper resistance level to watch is the 4020-4030 area. If gold prices can break through this range and hold, the upward trend may continue in the short term, potentially challenging higher levels. Before this breakout, we have consistently emphasized against chasing highs and have provided a strategy and analysis for shorting in batches around the 4015-4030 area. Those who follow me should have seen this. Gold faces significant upward pressure, and unless there is a major positive news event to stimulate a breakout, we will continue to maintain a strategy of selling on rallies. Due to the lack of non-farm payroll data, gold prices will continue to be treated as oscillating. The lower support level is seen in the 3975-3960 area. If this support level is effectively broken, it may trigger a new round of declines, potentially opening up further downside potential.

What Happens Next?I believe that the third wave has ended on the daily and weekly charts and that we are currently in the fourth corrective wave. I tried to draw the details of the correction on the 4-hour chart. The correction we are in may not be a classic correction and may be more complex; however, the B movement we are in appears to be forming a symmetrical triangle, and with the 6th movement, these triangles may break down or up; that is, the direction is unclear. However, if we are within an A-B-C correction and B is currently forming, a downward C movement is likely to follow. If there is no daily stay above 4040, the C downward movement is highly probable. I have also indicated C's first target on the chart. These are not recommendations, but my own conclusions.
