GOLD LONG TERM Target Hello everyone, I hope you are well
In this idea, I will share with you some of the expectations I see on the price of gold in the long term
I expect that the price has approached the target and will be in the rectangle shown in the idea
Which is between $4200 and $5000
After that, the price will enter a downward trend that may last for years
Remember this is not investment advice. You are responsible for the buying and selling decision
Beware of using leverage. The reason is that this is not an accurate recommendation
Good Luck
Lingrid | GOLD Retracement Entry Trend Continuation SetupThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous idea . OANDA:XAUUSD remains within its strong upward channel, rebounding each time from its dynamic trendline to form higher lows. The structure displays clear bullish momentum supported by consecutive range breakouts and sustained trend continuation. A stable hold above 4,050 could trigger a renewed rally toward 4,200 and possibly 4,250 resistance. The broader market structure confirms steady accumulation, keeping buyers in control of the short-term trend.
⚠️ Risks:
A break below 4,060 could weaken bullish pressure and lead to a deeper correction.
Rising U.S. yields or hawkish Fed Chair Powell commentary may limit upside momentum.
Unexpected macro data or geopolitical developments could cause short-term volatility.
If this idea resonates with you or you have your own opinion, traders, hit the comments. I’m excited to read your thoughts!
Gold has reached its peak and is about to undergo a reversal?Gold has been rejected at the 0.618 level of the Fibonacci channel on the 3M chart.
The Stoch RSI demonstrates a striking similarity to past cycles:
The bullish structure, which continued in the overbought region in October 2010, peaked 273 days later in July 2011.
Momentum, which continued in the overbought region again in October 2019, reached its peak 365 days later in October 2020.
Today, history paints a similar picture once again.
The bullish structure, which began in the overbought region in October 2024, may have reached its peak approximately one year later, in October 2025, just as in previous cycles.
Gold appears to be completing its historical rhythm once again.

🔄 What Makes This Bull Different (2025 Edition)
• 🏦 Central-Bank Dominance — Official sector is the anchor buyer (3rd straight 1k+ tonne year in 2024; 2025 tracking strong despite Q2 deceleration).
• ⚡ Faster Recoveries — Pullbacks have been shallower and shorter vs the 1970s analog.
• 📈 Coexisting With Risk Assets — Rare combo: gold ATHs with equities up YTD suggests a macro hedge bid alongside optimism in select risk assets.
• 📐 Structural Breakout — The 13-year base cleared in 2024 set multi-year targets.

🎯 Strategy Ideas (2025 & Beyond)
Core
• Buy/Hold on Dips: Stagger entries (DCA) into physical (allocated), ETFs (e.g., GLD/IAU), and quality miners/royalties.
• Prefer Physical/Allocated where counterparty risk matters; use ETFs for liquidity.
Satellite/Leverage
• Silver & GSR Mean-Reversion: With the GSR ~85–88, silver historically offers torque in up-legs. Pair with high-quality silver miners.
• Factor Tilt in Miners: Focus on low AISC, strong balance sheets, growing reserves, and jurisdictions with rule-of-law.
Risk-Management
• Define max drawdown tolerance per sleeve; pre-plan trims near parabolic extensions or if macro invalidates (e.g., real-yield spike).
________________________________________
🧪 Reality Check: What Could Invalidate the Bull?
• Real yields + USD rip higher (sustained), dampening non-yielding assets.
• Sharp halt in official-sector buying (e.g., policy shifts).
• Rapid growth re-acceleration reducing safe-haven & rate-cut expectations.

Lingrid | GOLD Weekly Outlook: Dip-Buying Dominance ContinuesThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous weekly idea . OANDA:XAUUSD market delivered another impressive performance this week, decisively pushing through the psychologically significant $4,000 threshold. While this round number naturally attracts considerable market attention, seasoned traders recognize it as simply another milestone in gold's broader trajectory rather than a definitive ceiling.
What's particularly noteworthy is the dramatic increase in market volatility. Recent weeks have demonstrated a pattern where pullbacks averaging around 2% are consistently followed by rallies exceeding 4.5%. This asymmetric price action—where advances substantially outpace corrections—reveals strong underlying bullish momentum and aggressive buying on dips. The market may easily absorb a 2.8% pullback before staging another robust recovery, reinforcing this established rhythm.
Price action shows gold trading within a well-defined upward channel, with price respecting both the lower trendline support near $3,950 and approaching the upper resistance zone around $4,100. The all-time high formation near $4,060 marked a crucial peak, and current consolidation below this level suggests the market is building energy for the next directional move.
Key support remains anchored around $3,950, while the upward channel structure indicates potential targets extending into the $4,100-$4,200 range. The combination of persistent bullish momentum, widening volatility swings, and successful defense of higher lows points to a market that's far from exhausted. We should watch for either a breakout above $4,060 toward the target area or a retest of channel support before the next advance materializes.

Global economic data faces disruptionThe trading week from October 11 to 17 is expected to be highly volatile as the U.S. government shutdown could delay the release of key economic data such as CPI and Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP), making it difficult for the Federal Reserve to assess inflation trends ahead of its upcoming policy meeting. Throughout the week, investors will focus on major events including the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings, the NATO Defense Summit, and the G20 press conference.
Central banks like the Fed, ECB, and RBA will continue to shape market sentiment through speeches and meeting minutes, while China, OPEC, and the Eurozone will release crucial data on trade, inflation, and energy—potentially triggering short-term volatility across global markets.
Three key risks will dominate this week: escalating geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East, central bank communications that could shift interest rate expectations, and the potential resurgence of trade wars dampening global risk appetite. In this environment, safe-haven assets such as gold, the U.S. dollar, and Treasury bonds are likely to attract capital inflows, while equities and commodities may face downward pressure.

GOLD Resistance? what's next??#GOLD.. perfect move as per our last idea regarding gold cut n reverse area.
now market just broke his supporting region and if market hold that region than it will convert to resistance area.
that is around 4281-892 to 4287-88
keep close and holding or that region means we can expect a further dip .
NOTE: we will go for cut n reverse above that region on confirmation.
good luck
trade wisely
GOLD- Resistance Often Acts as a SupportPrice took resistance near previous highs and moved rapidly down back to a key level zone near 4268.270, which may now act as support as this was previously a resistance.
Remember? Previous resistance often acts as support.
The price is still swinging in a wide range so no clear directional bias for the short term.
However, a small scalping opportunity and it could be a done trade with 1% gain or 0.5% loss.
A buy setup at this level could give a nice 1:2 trade.
Assumption behind this idea is that the large bearish candle near support was just a shakeout and the price may proceed in the direction of the main trend, which is up.
What do you do at this point?
Do you sell because of short term selling pressure or buy because overall trend is up.
#This is not a buy sell recommendation..just for educational purpose.
XAUUSDThe double-top pattern is interpreted by traders and analysts as a bearish indicator. It implies that the upward trend has slowed down and that a price decrease is more likely. The break of the neckline, a horizontal line formed between the lows of the troughs, is frequently used by traders to confirm the pattern
GOLD BEARISH CORRECTION TOWARDS SUPPORT ZONEChart Overview:
Timeframe: 15-minute
Price Range: 4,170 – 4,360 USD (visual scale)
Current Price: 4,240 USD
Trend Channel: Uptrend channel (yellow) with a recent breakdown from the midline.
🧠 Technical Analysis:
1. Previous Move:
Gold experienced a strong bullish run within an ascending channel, reaching the resistance zone near 4,360.
The momentum formed a rounded top pattern, signaling potential exhaustion of buyers.
2. Pattern Development:
A head-and-shoulders–like formation is visible at the top of the structure.
Price broke below the neckline and tested lower support near 4,215 before rebounding slightly.
3. Current Structure:
Price is retesting the broken support (now resistance) area near 4,260.
The black curve projection shows a potential lower high forming — a bearish continuation setup.
4300 is just the beginning, it is expected to reach 4500Affected by the continued impact of the US government shutdown, gold in the US market rose strongly. After hitting a high of 4292, it quickly fell back and rebounded, setting a new historical high of 4298. But judging from the current trend, this is obviously not the peak of gold prices. If the short-term rise continues, it is expected to test the pressure of the 4,300 integer mark.
As the short-term trend line is broken, the previous resistance is gradually transformed into support. Pay attention to the short-term support range of 4275-4260 below. If this range can be held, gold will set a new high.

SMART MONEY CONCEPT (SMC)📊 Bullish Analysis XAU/USD (15M)
The market showed a clear Change of Character (CHoCH) to the downside, triggering a sell-off that swept Sell-Side Liquidity and tapped into the 1H Order Block (OB). From this level, price reacted with strength.
After the sweep, we observed a Break of Structure (BOS) to the upside, signaling possible institutional absorption. The Fake Out highlights how retail traders get trapped while institutions prepare to reposition.
🔑 Projected Scenario
• Entry zone at 4,211 (support/rejection area).
• Stop Loss at 4,156 → R/R 1:2.
• Target (TP) at 4,322.
• Expect a Rejection → Distribution → Continuation before price reaches the target.
📌 Key Takeaways
• Institutions often manipulate liquidity before continuation.
• The setup is aligned with Smart Money Concepts: liquidity sweep → rejection → bullish continuation.
• Patience is key to wait for confirmation candles at the entry zone.
✨ Motivational Note
Trading is not about chasing moves, but about preparing for the right moment. Patience and discipline separate professionals from amateurs. 🚀 GOOD LUCK TRADERS ;)
