XAU/USD Intraday Plan | Support & Resistance to WatchGold had a strong pullback on Friday following last weekโs sharp rally and is now consolidating between 4,279 and 4,227. The retracement has allowed the market to cool off after consecutive all-time highs, while buyers are still defending the First Reaction Zone (4,227โ4,192).
Price remains above the MA200, maintaining the broader bullish structure, but continues to struggle reclaiming the MA50, which now acts as short-term resistance. A break above 4,279 could re-ignite bullish momentum toward 4,321 and 4,362, while a failure to hold 4,227 may invite deeper correction toward 4,151โ4,117.
๐ Key levels to watch:
Resistance:
4279
4321
4362
4406
Support:
4227
4192
4151
4117
๐ Fundamental focus:
This weekโs calendar features key U.S. data releases, including Flash PMIs, Durable Goods Orders, and Consumer Sentiment, though many reports risk delay due to the ongoing government shutdown. The blackout continues to cloud market visibility and reinforce safe-haven demand for gold.
Potential long opportunity for XAUUSD
XAUUSD is approaching a key demand zone on the 15M timeframe. The price is trading within a clear descending channel, and we are looking for a potential reversal near the confluence of the channel support and the identified LOW RISK / BUY ZONE (approx. 4121- 4147).
๐ฏ Key Levels:
- Buy Zone: 4147 - 4120
- Target: Channel midline & upper bounds
- Stop Loss: A clear break below 4095.

Gold at Decision Point โ Break or Correction?On the 15-minute gold chart, price is testing the key resistance around $4,381. This level has acted as a ceiling several times, suggesting strong selling pressure. The 50-period SMA at $4,234 still supports the broader uptrend, but momentum appears to be weakening near resistance.
In the short term, a close below $4,340 could trigger a pullback toward $4,280 and possibly $4,240. A reasonable stop loss for this scenario is above $4,385.
In the longer-term view (over the next few sessions), if gold breaks and sustains above $4,381, we could see an upside move toward $4,400 and $4,460. The protective stop for this bullish setup should be below $4,275.
Overall, gold is at a decision point โ a breakout could signal continuation of the bullish wave, while rejection from resistance may lead to a short-term correction.
XAUUSD: $4,400 Target Next! Gold Bull Run ContinuesKey Observations:
Massive Uptrend: The chart clearly displays a strong, multi-day uptrend, marked by a series of high-momentum green (bullish) candlesticks.
Recent Price Action: Price has recently surged, followed by a minor retracement (the most recent red candle), but remains near the top of the move. This indicates the primary momentum is still firmly to the upside.
Key Support/Demand Zones:Immediate Demand (Yellow Box): A small yellow box is marked around the $\$4,250$ area. This represents a very recent, short-term support or 'flip' zone where price broke out and could potentially retest before moving higher.Deeper Demand (Blue Box): A larger blue box (around $\$4,130$ to $\$4,190$) represents a more significant, underlying demand zone.
Projected Price Action: The hand-drawn path suggests a direct continuation with potentially only a minor dip:
The path shows a small pullback toward the $\$4,300$ area (not explicitly marked by a zone) or a brief sideways move.
The black arrow points to an anticipated strong push up to the final target, resuming the dominant uptrend without necessarily hitting the marked yellow or blue zones.
Target: A dotted blue line at $\$4,400.69$ is the clear final target for this trade setup.
XAUUSD 17/10/2025XAUUSD has reached the target of 4275 as analyzed in the previous article. Although the trend is still up, now I expect XAUUSD to fall to 4200, further to 4145 before re-establishing an increase, which would be better. But if XAUUSD continues to increase, the next target is 4345 - 4375.
I am analyzing based on the VolaX method
Market Update for New York SessionThe London session delivered a significant push up after indicating the direction for the day.
Let's see if it will break Ath again or switch down to distribute the move down finally.
Which will be a potential 1:7 move down.
But as usual guys 1:3 - 1:4 we are good.
Let's see who it plays out.

Gold (XAUUSD) Short-Term Bearish Setup โ 15-Min Chart AnalysisThis 15-minute chart of XAUUSD shows a bearish setup based on Smart Money Concepts and order block theory. After a clear bullish structure break (BOS), price entered a premium zone (highlighted in purple) and formed a weak high, indicating potential for a reversal. The projection suggests a short-term bullish retracement into the supply zone before a strong downward move. Target zones are marked within the deep demand area (blue boxes) below 4,200, with a possible final target near 4,180. This analysis anticipates a bearish shift in momentum during the New York session, aligned with liquidity grabs and order block rejection.
XAUUSD NEXT POSSIBLE MOVE Gold is currently trading near a strong demand zone, an area where buyers have previously shown clear dominance. After a corrective move, price action is now showing signs of stabilization and accumulation, suggesting that a bullish reversal could be forming.
If the market continues to respect this zone and prints a bullish candle formation (such as a higher low, bullish engulfing, or rejection wick), it would confirm that buyers are regaining control.
Momentum indicators also show signs of strength building on the buy side, indicating that selling pressure is fading and the market may be preparing for an upside move.
As long as Gold maintains its structure above the support zone, the bias remains bullish. Traders should wait for a clear confirmation candle or structure break before entering to ensure alignment with market momentum.

Trade Smart, Trade according to plan. Cheers!
Gold looks like it wants to break the upper resistance again. Gold's momentum don't stop. the move is slow and sort of choppy if you look a the low time frame. Can history repeat itself and poke through the line one more time? Or do liquidity dry up right before it reach and start dumping?
I am bullish overall, at least until we reach the upper trend like. We might break above that line and retest and break out again. That would be my dream scenario, but as a future trader, I am only trying to capture that small momentum from point A to point B. Which is slightly above the upper line in my case.
I think gold in spot will soon hit the 4200 psych level or slightly above it before we see a slow down.
As always trade, only trade with money you can afford to lose, and set a stop loss, even if its below where it might wick down for liquidity.

Will Gold Break Through 4,400 on October 21st?
๐ I. Market Dynamics & Core Drivers
Safe-Haven Demand & Rate Cut Expectations
Market pricing for a Fed rate cut next week is near 100%, with expectations for another cut in December. The low-interest-rate environment enhances gold's appeal.
The US government shutdown enters its 20th day, delaying key economic data (like CPI), creating a "data vacuum" and amplifying market uncertainty.
US-China Trade Talk Developments
Trump confirmed he will meet with Chinese leaders, but his previous comments triggered a sharp drop in gold prices last Friday. Be wary of negotiation volatility.
Gold retreated after hitting a record high of $4,378.69 last Friday, reflecting market sensitivity to trade developments.
๐ II. Technical Analysis Overview
Trend Structure
Bullish structure intact: The 1-hour moving average shows a golden cross upward, and the price broke through key resistance at $4325, indicating continued short-term strength.
Pivot Level: $4270 has turned into support and now serves as a key level for trend reversal.
Key Levels
Support Zones: 4300-4320 (Strong Support), 4270 (Trend Pivot)
Resistance Zones: 4375-4380 (Previous High Pressure), 4400 (Psychological Barrier)
๐ฏ III. Trading Strategy Suggestions
Long Strategy (Primary Approach)
Entry Zone: Look to buy on dips in the $4320-4325 range, building position in batches.
Stop Loss: Below $4320 (8$-10$).
Targets: 4350 โ 4360 โ 4380 (Hold if broken above).
Rationale: Supported by safe-haven sentiment + technical retest confirming support.
Short Strategy (Secondary Approach)
Entry Zone: Look to sell on rallies in the $4375-4380 range, building position in batches.
Stop Loss: Above $4380 (8$-10$).
Targets: 4350 โ 4330 โ 4320.
Rationale: Technical pullback potential exists near the previous high resistance area.
โ ๏ธ IV. Risk Warnings
Data & Event Risks
The release of US CPI data could trigger volatility; stronger-than-expected inflation might weaken rate cut probabilities.
Closely monitor US-China trade talks and Trump's comments; any unexpected news could trigger sharp rises/declines.
Trading Discipline
Strict position management: single trade risk should not exceed 2% of capital.
Avoid chasing prices; prioritize waiting for confirmation of reversal signals at key levels.
๐ V. Key Levels to Watch Today
Resistance Breakout: If price stabilizes above $4380, watch for further upside towards $4400 and beyond.
Support Breakdown: If price breaks below $4300, be cautious of a deeper correction below $4270.
Summary: Gold is supported short-term by both safe-haven demand and rate cut expectations. The technical picture is biased bullish. Operationally, focus on buying the dips as the primary strategy, with light short positions near the previous high resistance zone. Stay alert to policy and data developments, adjusting strategies flexibly.
