Gold Lags Behind SilverGold lags behind silver. I’m referring to silver’s percentage gains outpacing gold, not suggesting that silver is becoming more expensive than gold. Investors and traders focus on percentage gains, whereas consumers buying jewelry make decisions based on how much it’ll actually cost them.
Last year, silver’s 60% gain outpaced gold’s 40%, and year-to-date, silver has once again outperformed gold with a 52% gain compared to gold’s 36%.

GL1! trade ideas
micro pattern provides structure for upward continuation 1->3 : higher high, number 2 confirmed low
4: return and pullish reaction
what do I think will happen next ?
* a return to number 4 would provide a good
rr entry with proven buyers to protect our trade
* I have bullish divergence on RSI and MFI
* vwap seems to confirm bullish sentiment with bar reacting off vwap line
* pullback pitchfork pinpoints current bar
gold is at a decision point to continue upward or retrace furthe1->3 : creates solid major buyers in number 2 , if price closes below number 2 this is obviously invalidated and sellers are showing their hand now
3->4 : we return back to number 2 buyers
what do I think will happen next ?
* if number 2 buyers can prove themselves, this could be a very good market edge for the buyers to push the market higher, conversly if we push below number 2 , we would wait for a pull back below to other support, as the uptrend is too strong to consider a full on reversal
* frequency shifted obv return is possible and using that support to predict buying orders,
* hidden bullish rsi and mfi

Gold Surge: Preparing for a Possible Pullback at Supply ZoneThroughout August, gold has steadily risen in value, experiencing only minor retracements along the way. Currently, the price is approaching a significant daily supply zone, situated at the top of the market. Recent data indicates that non-commercial traders have been increasing their short positions over the past few weeks, hinting at a potential capitulation or liquidation of positions soon. Meanwhile, retail investors continue to push longs, whereas commercial traders remain positioned more neutrally, gradually adding to their holdings. Moving forward, I will closely monitor the next supply zone, as it could present an ideal opportunity to initiate a short position, capitalizing on potential market exhaustion at this resistance level.

Gold Bulls Eye Breakout, But Caution May Be RequiredI'm seeing a lot of bullish calls for a gold breakout this week, and the contrarian within me suspects this could lead to disappointment over the near term. Even though my core bias is for gold to reach new highs eventually. Today I look at market exposure to gold futures from the commitment of traders report alongside key levels on gold's futures chart.
Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at Forex.com and City Index.
Dipping my toes with 1-Ounce Gold Futures CME in 2025 launched a new futures instrument called 1-Ounce gold.
Day trading margin requirement is $16.5 and overnight trading margin requirement is $165.
This has been a great way to start trading in live markets with low capital requirements.
1OZ price action closely mirrors GC gold futures so there is a lot of content and experts that share their ideas about where gold is going.
1OZ is equivalent to 1/100 of Gold Futures and tick sizes are 0.25 equivalent to $0.25.
Great for a beginner like myself to get a feel of the markets to test strategies and also experience the emotions of being in a position; being up and being down. These emotions cannot be simulated when backtesting or paper trading.
While experiencing these emotions, I have been journaling how the trades make me feel and behave. I have learnt more about myself that day-to-day life experiences do not subject me with.
I started my journey mid-2025 and so far I have had more losing trades than wins. However, 0.25 tick only represent 25c I treat it as the paying the market a low-fee for my education.
Who knows if I will be resilient enough to continue this journey in the months or years to come? We all have to start somewhere/sometime. Hope I have the discipline to stay the course and not give up.
Is anyone out there a beginner like myself trading 1OZ? Please comment and tell me how 1OZ has been treating you?
Gold Setting Up for Weekly Low Sweep – Watching 3650sGold has stalled out at the highs this week and is showing signs of exhaustion after a strong 2-week bullish run. Thursday’s close left us hovering just above key support in the 3650s.
For Friday, I’m watching for a break and close below yesterday’s low on the 1H chart. If we get that confirmation, I’ll be looking for continuation shorts targeting Monday’s low and potentially the 8HR FVG around 3600–3620 to close out the week.
If bulls defend this level again, then the range may extend — but the cleaner move is down into untested imbalances below.
This sets up Friday as a key day:
✅ Break yesterday’s low = downside liquidity run in play
❌ Hold support again = chop/range into next week
The 2-Sigma Rejection: Gold's Multi-Indicator Reversal Blueprint# The 2-Sigma Rejection: Gold's Multi-Indicator Reversal Blueprint
## Market Structure Evolution (Points 1→4)
Price action has completed a measured retracement to proven institutional buying zones, establishing Point 4 as a critical inflection level where smart money historically accumulates positions. This calculated pullback to tested support creates the foundation for a high-probability reversal setup.
## The Confluence Matrix: Four Pillars of Confirmation
### **Momentum Divergence Dual Signal**
- **RSI Bullish Divergence**: While price printed a lower low at Point 4, the Relative Strength Index formed a higher low, revealing underlying strength masked by price action
- **MFI Confirmation**: Money Flow Index mirrors the RSI divergence, indicating that capital flows are diverging positively from price - a signature of accumulation during apparent weakness
### **Bollinger Band Extremity Alignment**
- **Price at Lower Band**: Point 4 precisely tags the lower Bollinger Band, marking a statistically significant oversold extreme
- **OBV Breaking Below Its Lower Band**: A rare occurrence where On-Balance Volume pierces below its own Bollinger Band lower boundary - historically a powerful mean reversion signal that suggests panic selling into strong hands
### **The 2-Standard Deviation Rejection**
Using Point 1 as the VWAP anchor creates a statistically robust framework:
- Point 4 achieves a perfect touch and rejection from the 2nd standard deviation below VWAP
- This represents a 95% statistical extreme, where price typically finds aggressive buyers
- The rejection from this level confirms institutional algorithms are defending this mathematically significant zone
## Technical Synthesis
This setup presents a textbook convergence of statistical extremes and momentum divergences. The simultaneous occurrence of:
- Dual momentum divergences (RSI + MFI)
- Dual Bollinger Band extremes (Price + OBV)
- 2-sigma VWAP deviation test
Creates a rare "perfect storm" reversal setup where multiple independent indicators reach oversold extremes simultaneously.
## Probability Assessment
When price touches the lower Bollinger Band while OBV breaks below its own band, historical data suggests a >70% probability of mean reversion within 5-10 bars. Combined with the momentum divergences and VWAP deviation test, this creates an asymmetric risk-reward scenario favoring long positions.
## Risk Management Framework
- **Stop Loss**: Below Point 4 with buffer for volatility
- **Initial Target**: VWAP mean reversion (1st standard deviation)
- **Extended Target**: Upper Bollinger Band or Point 3 resistance
- **Invalidation**: Sustained break below 2nd VWAP deviation would negate the setup
## Key Takeaway
The convergence of statistical extremes across multiple non-correlated indicators at Point 4 creates a institutional-grade reversal setup. The 2-sigma VWAP rejection, combined with rare OBV Bollinger Band penetration and dual momentum divergences, presents a compelling mean reversion opportunity with clearly defined risk parameters.
Longing Goldyep, Longing Gold, i mean who would short it anyways.
Iam coming from a very long losing streak so that confirm the move and do your own analysis.
Also just so you know, there is a good chance that i will play out as analyzed, just do your own analysis and if both analysis matches, then take the trade.

QQQ Macro Stress Gold ripping higher (+60% YoY)
Investors are hedging inflation risk, currency debasement, or policy uncertainty
Gold outperformance shows capital fleeing to “hard money” rather than growth assets
CRBS/US10Y above 8% + US10Y trending down is a classic stagflation warning
Economy faces cost pressures (gold pricing in inflation fears)
Bond market is saying “growth is slowing/policy will ease"
Commodities are saying “inflation pressures are rising"
That’s the exact recipe for stagflation - weak real growth, sticky/accelerating inflation
This is bearish-biased for QQQ unless CRBS/US10Y cools back below +8% because of multiple compression risk - growth narrative struggles if inflation is sticky while real growth is soft
Valuations pressured by elevated yields
No reflationary support from commodities
Historically underperform in stagflation regimes
This setup (gold vertical, CRBS/US10Y sinking) = stagflation hedge regime
QQQ continues higher if yields stabilize & capital rotation pauses (20%)
Possible if Fed pivots or inflation fears calm while liquidity remains strong
QQQ consolidates near highs (30%)
Yields + inflation fears cap upside, but strong AI/earnings narrative prevents a deep selloff
Most likely outcome (50%) is stagflation + sticky yields compress multiples (5%–10% correction risk)
CRBS/US10Y >8% while US10Y trends lower is one of the cleanest stagflation warning signals
For QQQ it usually shifts probabilities heavily toward correction
For gold/commodities it confirms continued strength
Gold Eyes $3,700 Amid Overbought SignalsGold broke out of a multi-month trading range when the spot price finally cleared resistance around $3,450. It took some time for the ascending triangle to play out, and this could mean gold is now on its way towards $3,700. However, the metal has quickly reached overbought levels and may be due for a pause.
Breaking Out
The breakout could be significant and may trigger a move to much higher levels over time; it just doesn’t mean it will all happen at once. One way to measure the breakout from the ascending triangle pattern suggests the precious metal could climb to about $3,700.
The relative strength index also confirms the breakout, rising above a downtrend that had formed between April and August. The rise above the trend line on the RSI confirms the breakout and signals that the consolidation period has ended.
Overbought
However, the precious metal did not take long to reach overbought levels, with its value rising above the upper Bollinger Band and the relative strength index climbing over 70. This could mean that gold is due for a pause—a period of sideways consolidation—before moving on to higher prices.
It could also suggest that the metal is about to run out of steam, having expended too much energy breaking out of the consolidation range, and may be due for a sharp pullback to $3,440 to retest the breakout, or even a decline towards the lower Bollinger Band near $3,200.

Gold Futures Short Into Asia 9/7/25Based on the current Fair Value Gap (FVG), Order Block (OB), and the liquidity resting below, I anticipate gold will retrace toward the Point of Control (POC) identified on the volume profile. This would provide an ideal setup for short-term selling opportunities during tonight’s PM session.
My expectation is for price to open lower, push into the 3658 range, and present a bearish entry signal. From there, I’ll be targeting shorts toward the equilibrium of the FVG around 3619, which also aligns closely with previous session highs and lows—adding confluence to the setup.
GC 4H icc analysisGold has been in a clear uptrend and ran into resistance between 3574.6/3587.9. Price broke the zone and indicated that sellers were weak above 3587.9, continued to climb making a new high before correcting back below the zone. Once price hit a support, it continued back above 3587.9 aggressively making a new indication and a new high.
Entry: around 3587.9 (after reversal confirmation on 1 hour)
Stop loss: Below last low
Target: Last swing high
