XAUUSD Weekly Analysis | Supply and Demand Zones + Triangle.Analysis: Gold (XAUUSD) is currently trading near 3365 and the overall market volume has been getting weaker in recent days. This week, I am focusing on key supply & demand zones along with a triangle pattern which may guide the next big move.
🔻 Short Scenario
First resistance: 3397 – 3408 → I am looking for short opportunities from this zone.
Strong supply: 3430 – 3440 → Price was rejected 4 times here, making it a major short zone.
🔺 Long Scenario
First demand/support: 3340 – 3355 → If price respects this level, bullish move expected toward 3397 – 3408.
Second support: 3330 – 3325 → If first support breaks, this zone may provide the next bullish base.
Triangle Formation:
XAUUSD is currently consolidating inside a triangle pattern on my chart.
As long as price stays within, I suggest scalping inside the triangle.
A confirmed breakout from either side will likely decide the long-term direction.
Summary:
Short zones: 3397–3408 / 3430–3440
Long zones: 3340–3355 / 3330–3325
Triangle breakout = big move

Gold coils beneath record high, bulls on alertWhether you call it a bull pennant or an ascending triangle, it’s hard to ignore the coiling in gold beneath the April record highs, keeping traders on alert for a potential bullish breakout.
The latest bounce off uptrend support, fuelled by Jerome Powell’s dovish pivot at Jackson Hole, has gold within reach of downtrend resistance from those highs, sitting near $3390 this week.
A break of the uptrend, especially if matched by a push beyond the $3408 May peak, could draw in fresh bulls targeting a retest of April’s $3500 record. Longs could be established on the break, with stops beneath the downtrend or $3408 depending on entry level. Resistance at $3435 remains an early hurdle, with gold stalling above it on four prior occasions. If the mid-June high near $3450 gives way, there’s little technically blocking a run towards $3500 or beyond.
While weekly RSI (14) and MACD hint at waning momentum, the overall signal still marginally favours the topside.
Good luck!

Gold looking bearishGold looks bearish in the coming weeks as stronger U.S. economic data is likely to keep the dollar firm and Treasury yields elevated, reducing the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold. At the same time, easing safe-haven demand amid improved risk sentiment and resilient equities may further weigh on prices. From a technical perspective, repeated failures to break above key resistance levels suggest profit-taking and downside momentum could build, setting the stage for a short-term correction.
XAUUSD eyes bearish bat patternOn the 4-hour chart, XAUUSD is currently consolidating at a high level, with a short-term bias towards a volatile pattern. Currently, attention can be paid to the resistance near 3396.4, which is a potential short position for a bearish bat pattern and is also within the previous supply zone.
XAUUSD: Bullish Opportunity After FOMC and Economic DataHello all traders, this article will help you understand the market context and trends.
Yesterday, the FOMC meeting minutes were released, showing broad consensus on maintaining interest rates, which encourages investors to turn to gold as a safe-haven asset , increasing demand for XAUUSD. The higher-than-expected unemployment claims data (235K vs 226K forecast) indicates a weaker labor market, putting downward pressure on the USD and driving gold prices higher. However, the better-than-expected Flash PMI manufacturing index (53.3 vs 49.7 forecast) helped the USD rise slightly, but the impact was minimal.
Technical Analysis:
XAUUSD is trading in a downtrend channel, but the signals are unclear. Immediate support is at 3,312.000, an important level that has been tested and held. Currently, XAUUSD is near a small resistance zone at 3,353.000, with potential targets at TP1: 3,353.000 and TP2: 3,375.000 . Both EMA (89) and EMA (34) are sloping upward, confirming the strength of the uptrend.
Market Strategy:
Buy XAUUSD when the price pulls back to the support level at 3,312.000, with targets at 3,353.000 and 3,375.000.
Risk Management:
Monitor support at 3,312.000. If this level breaks, XAUUSD could correct to 3,270.000. Use a stop-loss below this support level.
Do you think gold can continue its upward trend, or will a correction appear?
Gold Deep Dive: Cycles, Correlations, Divergences, SymmetryGold has been in a raging bull market and almost up over 100% since its monthly bullish engulfing candle.
Gold sniffing out week monetary policy and rallying on the back of easing global monetary policy.
Historically from a trading standpoint, Gold is extremely overbought and could be 4-8 weeks away from a considerable pullback of 15-30% .
Many Signals such as symmetrical moves, Monthly overbought RSI, Copper / Gold Divergence, GDX resistance is telling us to use caution and trim long profits.
It does seem like gold wants $3500 before it has a reversal back down. We are looking for a liquidity sweep of the ATH as a possible short zone. (Not FA advice)
Once gold resets some indicators and allows longer term moving average to catch up it will likely keep pushing but we only for see that in mid to late 2026.
If we make a new high....we don't see much upside for the next 3-6 months.
Gold prices continue to be positive as interest rates cut soon✍️ NOVA hello everyone, Let's comment on gold price next week from 08/25/2025 - 08/29/2025
⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold prices extended their upward momentum on Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell struck a dovish tone, warning that “downside risks to the labor market are rising.” XAU/USD is currently trading around $3,371, recovering from an earlier dip to $3,321.
In his remarks, Powell suggested there is a “reasonable base case” that tariffs could cause a “one-time” spike in prices. However, he admitted the outlook remains complex, with inflation risks skewed to the upside and employment risks leaning lower—a combination he described as a “challenging situation.”
Following Powell’s comments, gold initially surged toward the $3,350 region before climbing to a session high of $3,378. Prices have since eased slightly but remain elevated near current levels.
⭐️Personal comments NOVA:
Gold prices increased, positive after the FED chairman voiced that he would cut interest rates in September.
🔥 Technically:
Based on the resistance and support areas of the gold price according to the H4 frame, NOVA identifies the important key areas as follows:
Resistance: $3387, $3400 , $3417
Support: $3351, $3330
🔥 NOTE:
Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well
- take the number of lots that match your capital
- Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account
- Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account
- The winner is the one who sticks with the market the longest
XAUUSD Weekly Outlook (25–29 August 2025)Hey team — happy new week! Let’s lock in the XAUUSD Weekly Outlook (Aug 25–29) so we start focused and calm. ✨
🔸 Macro & News Context
This week is loaded with USD catalysts that will shape gold’s direction:
Tuesday (26 Aug): Core Durable Goods Orders, CB Consumer Confidence
Thursday (28 Aug): Unemployment Claims, Prelim GDP Price Index
Friday (29 Aug): Core PCE Price Index (Fed’s preferred inflation gauge) + FOMC Member Waller speaks
⚡️ Wednesday has no major data → expect technical price action mid–week before Thursday–Friday volatility.
🔸 Weekly Structure & Bias
Trend: Bullish on HTF; price remains above EMA21/EMA50.
Location: Consolidating in premium territory (3300–3350).
Liquidity:
Buy-side above 3350–3439 wick supply.
Sell-side below 3260–3280 (PML).
Order Flow: Buyers continue defending mid-range, sellers pressuring highs. Equilibrium until news triggers breakout.
🔸 Key Structural Zones
Premium Supply (Resistance): 3350 – 3439 (weekly wick supply).
Decision Zone: 3300 – 3320 (mid-range control + EMA confluence).
Weekly Demand: 3260 – 3205 (OB + liquidity cluster).
Deeper HTF Demand: 2965 – 2590 (not in play unless strong breakdown).
🔸 Target Zones Above 3439
If weekly closes above 3439, price enters clean air. Using fibo extensions from swing 2965 → 3439:
1.272 extension: 3520–3530 (first major upside target).
1.618 extension: 3635–3650 (secondary bullish projection).
These are the next realistic institutional levels where gold could face supply pressure.
🔸 Weekly Scenarios
Bullish Case 🟢
Break and close above 3350–3439 → extension toward 3520–3530.
If macro data weakens USD (soft GDP / lower PCE), momentum accelerates.
Bearish Case 🔴
Rejection from 3350–3439 zone + strong US data → pullback into 3300.
Break below 3300 reactivates demand at 3260–3205.
🔸 Conclusion & Action Plan
This week is range-to-breakout:
Above 3439 → upside opens toward 3520–3530.
Below 3300 → downside pullback into 3260 demand.
News flow (Thu–Fri) will decide the weekly candle close.
Patience until the macro catalysts hit — the cleanest sniper entries will come after confirmation.

3330 Keys to Today's Strategy✏️The weekend gold trading strategy has not changed much. mainly based on the 2 border zones of the box from 3359 to 3330. The weak upward momentum in recent days makes gold easy to fall on the weekend. The 3330 zone is still a very special zone and wait for clear confirmation from the candle to trade to avoid False break. Be careful not to trade against the trend with the BUY signal when the 3330 zone is broken, the reaction of the buyers is very likely to come to the 3303 zone.
📉 Key Levels
SELL trigger Break and trading bellow 3330
Target 3285
BUY Trigger Confirmation of the candle closing above 3340
Target 3380
Resistance: 3340-3358-3378
Support: 3330-3304-3285
Leave your comments on the idea. I am happy to read your views.
Gold sideways, unclear trend, needs more momentum✏️Gold has reacted at the Trendline and created another decline to Fibonacci 0.382. Buying power is still strong enough to pull H4 back above 3331. It is difficult to determine the next trend of Gold at the moment. Gold is sideways in a fairly narrow range and waiting for more momentum to confirm the trend. The areas of interest are still the Fibonacci zones that cross each hook to reach the next hook. Note that H4 closes below 3331 to confirm a bearish reversal to 3285.
📉 Key Levels
BUY trigger: Price breaks the trendline and Fibonacci at 3345.
BUY DCA: Breaks 3358 with candle confirmation
Target 3400
SELL trigger H4 closes below 3331
Target 3285
Leave your comments on the idea. I am happy to read your views.
Gold go back in wide trading range.What is the good trading plan✏️Gold broke the Trendline and returned to the wide trading range from 3330-3360. The accumulation range for many days will continue to be relied on by investors to execute entry points. The correction from the beginning of the Asian session today is aimed at the target of 3332, which is the convergence zone of the lower boundary and the 0.5 fibo retracement of yesterday's wave. In terms of wave structure, if it bounces from this area, it is very likely to create a new uptrend towards 3378. On the contrary, the closing of the H1 candle below 3332 will confirm the return of the Down wave and continue towards the target of 3385 in the shortest time.
📉 Key Levels
Buy trigger: retest 3332 with the reaction of the buyers
SELL trigger: Break and trading bellow 3332 ( Break bellow trendline)
SELL DCA trigger Break 3320 supports the convergence of the trendline and the old break zone
Support 3332-3320-3310-3300-3285
Resistance 3358-3378

Lingrid | GOLD Clings to Critical Support ZoneOANDA:XAUUSD has been consolidating, moving inside a descending channel after a sharp rejection from resistance. Structure shows a wedge followed by a triangle pattern inside the downward trendline, pointing to compression before a potential breakout. A bullish scenario opens if price bounces from support near 3,315 and breaks above the 3,380 resistance handle. Overall, broader context shows gold locked in a sideways move but coiling into a corrective structure that could fuel a bullish rally.
📉 Key Levels:
Buy trigger: Rejection at 3,320
Buy zone: 3,310–3,320 support area.
Target: 3,380 then 3,431.
Invalidation: Sustained close below 3,270 support.
💡 Risks:
Failure to break the downward trendline, keeping bearish momentum intact.
Weak buying volume near support, leading to breakdown continuation.
Broader macro pressure from USD strength or yields limiting upside momentum.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Quick follow up update on our 1H chart idea:
After completing both our Bullish target at 3352 and Bearish target at 3327, we saw a lock below 3327 which opened the swing range down towards 3304. Price did drop, but not the full test of 3304 before turning back up.
From there, we got the break back above 3327 and another retest of 3352. As expected, price rejected perfectly from 3352, came back down to 3327, and once again gave us a bounce. Now price is heading back up towards 3352.
At the moment, price is clearly rangebound between 3327 and 3352. To confirm the next breakout move, we will need to see the EMA5 cross and lock above or below either of these levels.
We also need to keep in mind the swing range gap left open yesterday in the 3304 region, which remains a possible target before higher moves continue.
So while we continue to buy dips, we must stay mindful that open swing ranges can extend moves further in either direction. Our updated levels and weighted levels allow us to track moves down and then catch the bounces up, as we’ve been doing.
We will continue to buy dips from our support levels, targeting 20 to 40 pips per bounce. As stated before, every level structure we share gives that range consistently, and the swing ranges give even bigger moves than the weighted levels.

Central bank accumulation provides structural support while geopolitical uncertainty creates tactical opportunities. Favor long bias with systematic profit-taking, using pullbacks to $3,320-$3,350 for accumulation. Monitor geopolitical developments and Fed communications as primary market drivers. The convergence of safe-haven demand, currency debasement concerns, and technical momentum creates compelling long-term bullish framework despite near-term consolidation potential.

Gold Soars! Buy Opportunity After Fed's Rate Cut Hint!In just yesterday's session, gold surged by +32.520 USD (+0.97%) , equivalent to more than 320 pips . A shocking rise caught the market off guard.
The cause was Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole conference, where he hinted at the possibility of an interest rate cut as soon as September. This dovish message weakened the USD , reduced bond yields, and triggered a flow of money into safe-haven assets like gold.
Meanwhile, with calls for interest rate cuts from the Trump administration and concerns about an economic slowdown, gold is likely to rise in the future. President Trump criticized the Fed and called for aggressive rate cuts to boost the economy. If this policy is implemented, the USD could weaken further, making gold an even more attractive investment option.
Technical analysis: Traders may consider the next targets as 3,410 USD (TP1) and 3,434 USD (TP2). With EMA (89 and 34) indicators supporting the uptrend, investors might consider buying around 3,370 USD if gold experiences a slight short-term pullback, expecting the price to continue rising if macroeconomic factors remain favorable.
In conclusion, all factors are currently supporting gold's uptrend. We will continue to monitor developments in the coming days, particularly decisions from the Fed and global economic factors that may impact gold.
