GOLDMINI trade ideas
XAUUSD: Don’t rush to chase the rise, wait for a pullback firstThis year's Jackson Hole symposium, held at a policy crossroads for the Federal Reserve over whether to cut interest rates, captivated global attention.
Powell's shift from hawkish to dovish rhetoric ignited the market, completely contradicting previous market forecasts. The US dollar subsequently fell sharply, leading to a breakout rally in gold, from $3,330 to around $3,380.
In the short term, gold prices surged strongly last Friday, with many investors chasing long positions. Therefore, we should be wary of a pullback after profit-taking. Furthermore, Powell's speech last Friday has largely been digested, and the excitement has cooled somewhat.
In the long term, gold prices will undoubtedly continue to rise. A Fed rate cut is imminent, and any reduction, regardless of the magnitude, would represent a resumption of quantitative easing. The resulting situation is foreseeable. The US dollar will continue to decline, while gold will continue to rise, potentially reaching a new all-time high of $3,500.
Looking at the 1-hour gold chart, 3350, which has previously failed to break through, will be the next key support level. If it holds, buy boldly. If it breaks, look for further support at 3330.
Therefore, don't rush into trading. Waiting for the right entry point will be more efficient and more stable.
Gold’s Next Move = Your Next ProfitOn Friday, gold prices soared due to Powell's dovish remarks, reaching a high of around 3379, and the candle chart showed signs of a V-shaped reversal. From a technical perspective, gold still has the potential to continue to rise, and as of now, gold has not effectively fallen below 3360. While effectively curbing the downward space, it also shows that a certain amount of buying momentum is still continuing.
However, gold has not yet effectively broken through the 3380-3390 area, and the upper space has not been completely opened. If gold cannot break through this area, the bullish momentum may gradually weaken in the short term. In order to accumulate enough momentum to break through this area, gold may usher in a pullback in the short term.
First, we should focus on the 3355-3345 area below. As long as gold remains above this area, the overall bullish pattern will remain. Therefore, this area is the entry area where we should try to go long on gold for the first time after gold pulls back.
Therefore, we currently have two trading options:
1. When gold first hits the 3380-3390 area, consider shorting gold.
2. When gold first hits the 3355-3345 area, consider longing gold.
GOLD → Breakthrough of downward resistance, news ahead...FX:XAUUSD is recovering after a fairly prolonged decline, and there are signs of bullish sentiment on the chart, but caution is advised as important news is ahead...
Gold is in a holding pattern. Its short-term fate depends on today's US economic data and, to a greater extent, on tomorrow's speech by Powell, which will set the tone for the future. The price is recovering slightly after a recent decline, but is trading cautiously.
The market is awaiting the release of S&P Global's business activity indices (PMI), which will assess the strength of the US economy and influence Fed rate forecasts. Another key event of the week is the Fed chair's speech in Jackson Hole on Friday. His comments on future interest rates will determine the further movement of gold and the dollar.
Technically, we are seeing a rebound from the support of a global symmetrical triangle, with bulls still in the market but waiting for further signals. Locally, we are seeing positive dynamics — a breakout of downward resistance and consolidation in the buying zone...
Resistance levels: 3350, 3370
Support levels: 3331, 3315
The conditions for further growth should be a positive fundamental background and the bulls holding the price above key support. A retest of the trading range boundary (0.5f) is possible before growth.
Best regards, R. Linda!
SMART MONEY CONCEPT (SMC)📊 XAU/USD Analysis – Smart Money Concepts
Gold is at a key decision point:
• If the 1H Order Block breaks to the downside, this confirms a Change of Character (ChoCh) and we can expect bearish continuation toward 3,345.
• If price makes a fake-out and reclaims the zone, it will act as a liquidity trap, giving buyers momentum to push higher toward 3,390.
🔑 Key Levels:
• Bullish target: 3,390
• Bearish target: 3,345
• Critical zone: 1H OB
This is a classic SMC setup – wait for confirmation before entering and manage risk accordingly.
GOOD LUCK TRADERS ;)
Every pullback in gold is an opportunity to open a long positionGold broke out on Friday, and short-term bullish momentum remains. Short-term pullbacks offer further opportunities for long positions. Earlier, I recommended a strategy for establishing long positions on pullbacks.
Gold's 1-hour moving average continues to form a golden cross and bullish formation, and the 1-hour moving average still has upward momentum. Since gold didn't experience a rapid surge and then a decline after breaking out, it seems the bulls have stabilized at a high level. Short-term support is at 3358. A pullback to around 3365 could prompt further long positions, maintaining a bullish outlook.
The market is volatile, and gold bulls ultimately turned the tide, spurred by Powell's remarks. Gold bulls are in a stronger position, so continue to follow their lead and maintain their bullish trend. In the short term, as long as gold doesn't fall below 3350, the bull market remains strong.
My previously mentioned strategy: Long positions opened around 3360 have already yielded significant profits. You can reduce some of your holdings, retaining some to watch for a rebound. Those who haven't participated can continue to wait for a pullback to the 3360-3365 area and open positions to anticipate further rebounds.

Gold prices rose gradually, in line with expectations.With the right direction, the journey is nothing to fear. Time will prove your strength, and strength will secure your future. Let trust become profit, and profit resolve doubts. The market is ever-changing; following the trend is the best path. When trading, remember not to act impulsively. The market is a haven for all kinds of rebelliousness, so never hold onto a losing position without a stop-loss. I'm sure many people have experienced this: the more you resist, the more panic you experience, and your losses continue to magnify, leading to poor sleep and poor eating, and missed opportunities. If you share these concerns, consider following my strategy and I'll offer some insights to see if they can enlighten you.
A few hours ago, my gold strategy was to open a long position on a pullback near 3360. Since the price has rebounded to around 3370, the long position has already generated a profit. The current volatility is limited, and the profit is currently capped at this level.
Gold Technical Analysis
Last Friday, influenced by Powell's dovish speech, the price formed a bullish candlestick pattern, breaking through multiple resistance levels between 3355 and 3373, and closing with a bullish candlestick pattern on the daily chart. In the short term, bullish sentiment is stronger due to expectations of rate cuts. A short-term bullish trend is crucial, and pullbacks present opportunities to open long positions.
If gold experiences a pullback today, it will still be an opportunity to open long positions, with the 3355-3360 area remaining a viable entry point. The target is 3385.

After Jackson Hole, what is gold hesitating about?Gold bottomed out and rebounded last Friday, breaking through the 3350 mark. The daily line showed signs of a V-shaped reversal, indicating that the short-term trend has turned from a volatile decline to an upward trend. The strength of this rebound exceeded expectations, and the rapid rise from the low level on Friday effectively curbed the downward adjustment space, further strengthening the short-term advantage of the bulls. From a technical point of view, the continuous positive closure of the daily chart shows that the buying momentum is still continuing. The current market tends to continue to test highs. The overall operation idea should be based on low-long, and focus on whether the slow rise pattern can be continued during the European session to confirm the bullish momentum.
The price of gold retreated from its highs, forming a corrective trend, which was a common rhythm in the previous day's upward trend. The key support should be paid attention to around 3355-3340. This position can be used as an important reference for intraday low-long participation. If it can stabilize during the European session and continue the slow upward trend, it can be regarded as a second opportunity to go long. The market is expected to further break upward. The pullback will be an opportunity to arrange long orders, and the target will continue to break through highs.
Gold operation suggestion: go long around 3355-3340, target 3380-3390.

Gold Continues to SurpriseHello everyone, let’s take a look at OANDA:XAUUSD !
Yesterday, gold continued to surprise us, as the metal made a strong recovery on Wednesday, trading around 3,345 USD in the US session after dropping to a three-week low of 3,311 USD earlier.
This recovery occurred as the US Dollar (USD) dropped from a one-week high. Additionally, gold reversed sharply upward as tensions in Ukraine did not ease as expected. The escalating tensions are not just between the US, Russia, and Ukraine, but Europe also wants its influence on the matter. Since Europe is not willing to compromise, a peace agreement seems unlikely to be reached.
From a technical perspective, gold successfully tested the previous resistance at 3,330 USD, turning it into new support, breaking out of the downward trendline. If gold maintains strength above this level, the next key targets to watch are 3,357 and 3,370 USD.
Regarding the trend outlook: Investors are closely watching the minutes from the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting to gain insights into the US monetary policy direction in the short term.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will speak on Friday morning and is expected to update the Fed's monetary policy framework. Powell’s speech could provide a new perspective on internal FOMC support for a potential interest rate cut in September, which could set a new trend for XAU/USD.
Stay tuned with me! Don’t forget to like the post and share your views in the comments.
Good luck!
Get ready for the week's highlights, track negotiations progressOANDA:XAUUSD prices remained generally stable, in the Asian trading session on Friday (August 22), OANDA:XAUUSD fell slightly to $3,328/oz, equivalent to a decrease of $10 on the day as of the time of writing, extending the sideways accumulation.
The focus of the week, Jackson Hole
Gold continues to consolidate, with selling pressure holding back gains around $3,350/oz. Market participants await fresh messages from policymakers at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
Today (Friday), Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will speak at the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting.
If Powell says we will cut rates again in October, November or December, the dollar could weaken and gold could have a chance to rise.
Exclusive Reuters report, tracking the progress of the Russia-US-Ukraine negotiations
Reuters has published an exclusive report in which three sources close to senior Kremlin leaders told Reuters that Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that Ukraine abandon the entire Donbas region in the east, abandon its ambitions to join NATO, remain neutral and prevent Western troops from entering Ukraine.
Last Friday, Putin met with President Trump in Alaska for the first summit between the United States and Russia in four years.
According to Reuters sources, the nearly three-hour closed-door talks between the two sides were almost entirely devoted to discussing a compromise solution to the Ukraine issue.
Standing next to Trump after the meeting, Putin said the meeting was expected to pave the way for peace in Ukraine, but neither Putin nor Trump revealed the specifics of the discussions. Reuters cited the most detailed Russian account yet of Putin’s proposal for the summit, outlining the outlines of a potential peace deal the Kremlin hopes to see.
According to Russian sources, Putin has made some concessions based on territorial demands he made in June 2024. At that time, he asked Kyiv to give up four regions that Moscow claims as part of Russia: Donetsk and Luhansk (located in eastern Ukraine, collectively known as the Donbas region), as well as Kherson and Zaporizhia in the south.
Reuters also reported that Putin maintained in his new proposal a demand for a full withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Donbass regions it still controls. However, they added that in return, Moscow would halt its frontline offensive in Zaporizhia and Kherson.
According to US estimates and open-source data, Russia controls about 88% of the Donbas region and 73% of the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.
Sources said Putin also maintained his previous demands that Ukraine abandon its NATO membership bid and demanded that the US-led NATO make a legally binding commitment not to expand eastward, impose restrictions on the Ukrainian military and reach an agreement ensuring that no Western troops would be deployed as peacekeepers in Ukraine.
There remains a wide gap between the two sides’ positions. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has yet to respond to the proposal.

XAUUSD Weekly Outlook – Potential Pullback Ahead?Price Levels in Focus: 3371.96 → 3321.00
This week, I’m closely watching XAUUSD after its sharp rally toward the 3371.96 zone. Based on previous NWOG levels and the strong reaction at this area, I expect the market might face resistance here and could pull back toward the 3321.00 zone in the coming sessions.
Key Technical Observations
The 3371.96 area aligns with previous supply zones (NWOG 25-Aug).
Momentum slowed down after the initial bullish spike, hinting at a potential reversal or at least a correction.
Below, 3321.00 remains an important support level where price reacted strongly before.
Fundamental Context – This Week’s Drivers
Several high-impact USD events are scheduled:
Aug 26: US Consumer Confidence & Durable Goods Orders
Aug 28: US Preliminary GDP & Unemployment Claims
Aug 29: Core PCE Price Index (key Fed inflation gauge)
If USD data comes stronger than expected, gold might face downside pressure as yields and dollar strength increase.
Outlook
While the current trend has been bullish, the combination of resistance at 3371.96 and key upcoming US data might trigger a retracement toward 3321.00 this week. I’ll be watching closely how the market reacts around these levels.
