Learn Profitable Doji Candle Trading Strategy (GOLD, FOREX)
In the today's post, I will share my Doji Candle trading strategy.
This strategy combines the elements of multiple time frame analysis, price action and key levels.
Step 1
Analyze key levels on a daily time frame.
Identify vertical and horizontal supports and resistances.
Here are the key structures that I spotted on AUDUSD.
Step 2
Look for a formation Doji Candle on a key structure.
This rule is crucially important: we will trade only the Doji candles that are formed on key levels.
From key supports , we will look for buying , and we will look for shorting from key resistances .
Look at this Doji Candle that was formed on a key daily support on AUDUSD.
Step 3
Look for a horizontal range on a 4h/1h time frames.
Doji Candle signifies indecision . Quite often, you will notice the horizontal ranges on lower time frames when this candlestick is formed.
Here is a horizontal range that was formed on a 4H time frame on AUDUSD after a formation of Doji.
Step 4
Look for a breakout of the range.
To sell from a key resistance, we will need a bearish breakout of the support of the range. That will be our bearish confirmation.
To buy from a key support, we will need a bullish breakout of the resistance of the range. It will be our bullish signal.
Here is a confirmed breakout of the resistance of the range with a 4H candle close above. That is our bullish confirmation on AUDUSD.
Step 5
Buy aggressively or on a retest.
After you spotted a confirmed breakout of the range, open a trading position aggressively or on a retest.
Personally, I prefer trading on a retest.
If you sell, a stop loss should be above the high of the range and your target should be the closest key daily support.
If you buy, your stop loss should be below the low of the range and a take profit will be on the closest daily resistance.
On AUDUSD, a long position was opened on a retest. Stop loss is lying below the lows. Take profit is the closest resistance.
Here is how this great strategy works!
Always patiently wait for a confirmation! That is your key to successful trading Doji Candle.

XAUUSD 15m – EW Short SetupHi fellow traders,
On the 15m XAUUSD chart, I am applying Elliott Wave principles to outline a short setup. Price has completed wave (v) and is now retesting the Fibonacci cluster between the 0.618 and 0.88 retracement levels, which aligns with a potential reversal zone.
I am entering at the current price, with a Stop Loss at 4059.16, serving as the invalidation level. My Take Profit levels are set at 3991.32 (TP1), 3985.71 (TP2), and 3965.74 (TP3), targeting the projected completion of the next corrective leg.
If price moves above the invalidation level, this wave count is no longer valid.
Good luck and trade safe!
Gold Price may test the support after Rebound Gold (XAUUSD) has reached a new resistance zone as the U.S. dollar shows signs of recovery from its recent decline. Despite mixed JOLTs job data, weaker hiring trends, and ongoing fiscal risks weighing on the USD, gold’s bullish momentum appears to be pausing for a consolidation phase.
After a modest rally during the European session, the market is now entering a corrective consolidation. A short-term pullback is likely before any further upward continuation.
Key Technical Outlook:
Watch the current support area closely. If bulls can maintain price above this zone, it will strengthen the bullish case If buyers hold control above support, the next upside resistance to watch is near 3900.
You may find more details in the chart.
Trade wisely Best Of Luck.

Gold price increase - expect 3965 today⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold (XAU/USD) extends its rally to a fresh record high near $3,920 in early Asian trading on Monday, supported by safe-haven demand amid the prolonged US government shutdown and rising expectations of further Fed rate cuts. Lawmakers’ failure to pass spending bills for a fourth time deepens uncertainty and reinforces demand for the yellow metal.

Gold approaching #4,000.80 benchmark / my TargetAs discussed throughout my Friday's session commentary: 'My position: I have been Buying Gold throughout yesterday's session from #3,860's towards #3,878.80 Resistance, and since we are in Bullish non-stop trend, I have Bought Gold on #3,878.80 break-out to the upside and closed my order near #3,890.80 local High's, expecting some Sellers to arise at that point. I as I am not Selling Gold at all lately, I have waited for Gold to establish local Low's (#3,827.80 was my fair estimate), I started Buying Gold aggressively on #3,827.80 and #3,830.80 towards #3,845.80 which was Resistance at that point, closing my Buys there. After #3,852.80 benchmark got invalidated, I have engaged Buying orders there and am still keeping them expecting #3,878.80 Resistance to be met once again. This is yet another wonderful week. Resistances to monitor ahead: #3,862.80 (now Support), #3,868.80, #3,872.80 and #3,878.80.'
I have engaged multiple orders on #3,852.80 benchmark and closed all of my orders on #3,878.80 with excellent Profit throughout Friday's session and had pending Buy orders on #3,892.80 break-out which were closed today on #3,927.80 extension. I am expecting my #4,000.80 benchmark Target to be realized soon as I await #3,937.80 Support test to Buy Gold more towards #3,952.80 benchmark, then #4,000.80 benchmark extension. This is wonderful Bullish Price-action to Trade by and my #4,000.80 benchmark test / Medium-term Target I announced from #3,700's is coming earlier than I expected. Congratulations for Traders who had been following my Bullish calls, well done while Sellers are constantly trapped and liquidated on current multi-Month Bullish Price-action.

Going Long On Gold Gold is overall bullish in the long run. However, today we have witnessed a strong bearish move that dropped all the way to a key support level on the 1 hour timeframe. This move has had a significant impact on the structure of the market at that level.
Now, on the lower timeframe, specifically the 5 minute chart, all short term support levels have been mitigated. Price has formed a clear double bottom pattern, suggesting a potential reversal. This indicates that after the liquidity sweep, the market is now preparing for a strong bullish move back toward the previously broken support level, which may now act as resistanc

Order Blocks: Where Smart Money Leaves Its Footprints“The market doesn’t move randomly.
Every big push leaves a shadow — a clue of who was in control.”
That clue is what traders call an Order Block .
What is an Order Block?
An Order Block (OB) is the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong impulsive move in the opposite direction.
Think of it as the area where institutions placed their orders to fuel that move.
In an uptrend , look for the last down candle before a strong rally.
In a downtrend , look for the last up candle before a sharp drop.
These zones often act like magnets — price revisits them to “retest” before continuing.
Why Do Order Blocks Matter?
They reveal where the big money entered.
They create high-probability zones for entries.
They help traders avoid chasing moves at highs or lows.
How to Spot an Order Block
Identify a strong impulsive move (long-bodied candles, clear displacement).
Mark the last opposite candle before that move.
Wait for price to return to that zone.
Look for LTF confirmation — a ChoCH, BOS, or rejection wick.
Align with higher timeframe bias (H4/H1) for best results.
Example
Refer to the XAUUSD M15 chart above:
Gold formed a strong bullish rally, leaving behind a bullish order block zone at 3764.5 – 3757.5 .
When price retraced into this OB, it tapped liquidity from the stop area, then gave LTF confirmation (micro structure shift).
This long setup delivered an impressive 1:8 RR rally for disciplined traders who waited for the OB mitigation and entry confirmation.
Smart money doesn’t chase price — it waits for the market to come back home.
But here’s the secret most traders miss:
Order blocks alone are never the full story.
They work best when combined with liquidity sweeps, structure shifts, and precise timing .
That’s where the deeper edge lies — and it’s what separates surface-level knowledge from mastery.

Volatility = Opportunity—Short Gold Now!Although gold is still maintaining a bullish trend, it has repeatedly fallen back to around 4030 after approaching or touching the 4050-4060 area many times, and has shown multiple high points with upper shadows in the candlestick chart. It can be clearly seen that after accelerating its rise, gold showed obvious signs of stagflation near the trend line resistance area of 4050-4060, and there were obvious signs of retracement after touching this resistance area.
In addition, from the short-term structure, we can see that the current high is near 4059, and the left high is near 4050. If gold cannot effectively hold above 4050 during the next rebound, there will be signs of forming a head and shoulders top in the short term. Combined with technical divergence and overbought conditions, gold may usher in a good retracement in the short term. Combined with technical divergence and overbought conditions, gold could experience a significant pullback in the near term. We should first focus on the support below at 4030-4020, followed by 4000-3990.
So in short-term trading, I still will not give up short trading to gain short-term retracement profits. Therefore, I still advocate considering shorting gold in the 4045-4055 area. As long as gold can effectively fall below 4030, it will inevitably continue its downward trend to the 4010-4000 area.
Hellena | GOLD (4H): LONG to support area of 3950.had to revise the vision of this upward movement a little bit. Because there was no deep correction, I think that the ascending wave “3” (blue) is now completed. Earlier I thought it was completed, but we didn't see the “4” correction.
At this point, I think that the price will reach the resistance area of 3950, completing either the continued wave “3”, or after the correction of 3791, the wave “5” will be completed.

#4,000.80 benchmark deliveredAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: 'My position: Needless to mention, everything remains the same as I am Buying every dip. Current Price-action is trapping Sellers on Intra-day basis, hitting their Stop-losses which are fuel to current Bullish run. I Bought #3,943.80 throughout yesterday's session, added Buying orders on #3,952.80 benchmark break-out to the upside many times and #3,962.80 was my closing point for all orders (cca. #14 re-Buys throughout yesterday's session). I will continue Buying every dip Targeting #4,000.80 benchmark on Medium-term.'
My position: I have closed all of my re-Buy orders throughout yesterday's session with #3,992.80 Target (cca. #17 re-Buys in and out, Scalps with High Volume) however kept two #10.00 Volume orders from #3,962.80 reversal with #4,027.80 Target which was hit over-night. I am using this chance to congratulate Traders who followed my calls and had patience to hold the orders and Trade this Bull run with me, well done! I am off for the session with spectacular Profits booked for now.
GOLD HTF — Is the Buying Climax reach and the BIG short coming??After a +53% yearly gain and a 10% September candle, we might finally be seeing the start of a two-month distribution phase, smart money taking profit before the end of the year and preparing for re-accumulation lower for next year.
Wyckoff View (Daily):
Possible Buying Climax (BC) followed by Automatic Reaction (AR) and Secondary Test (ST).
If confirmed, the markdown could target the $3,440 zone, where major resistance from earlier structure awaits a retest.
Until proven otherwise, the macro trend is still bullish, but momentum exhaustion and vertical price action often precede deeper retracements.
Trading Plan:
Stay small, stay precise. Scalping on M1–M5 to extract 50–100 pips per day is the play while the big money decides the next leg.
We don’t predict, we react.
Trade like the Casino, not the hopeful gambler.
Touch grass, protect peace, stay grateful.
Be safe, and God bless you all.
Market Analysis: Gold Rockets Beyond $4,000Market Analysis: Gold Rockets Beyond $4,000
Gold price started a fresh surge above $4,000 and traded to a new all-time high.
Important Takeaways for Gold Price Analysis Today
- Gold price rallied to a new all-time high and traded above $4,000 against the US Dollar.
- A key bullish trend line is forming with support at $4,000 on the hourly chart of gold.
Gold Price Technical Analysis
On the hourly chart of Gold, the price formed support near $3,820. The price remained in a bullish zone and started a fresh increase above $3,900, as mentioned in the previous analysis.
The bulls pushed the price above $4,000 level and the 50-hour simple moving average. Finally, it traded to a new all-time high at $4,026. The price is still showing bullish signs above $4,020 and the RSI is above 70.
Initial support on the downside is near a key bullish trend line at $4,000. A downside break below the trend line might send the price to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3,822 swing low to the $4,026 high at $3,925.
If the bulls fail to protect $3,925, the price could start a larger downside correction. In the stated case, Gold could drop toward the 50% Fib retracement at $3,920. The next area of interest for the bulls might be $3,895. A daily close below $3,895 could spark bearish moves and send the price to $3,820.
If there is a fresh increase, the price could face resistance at $4,025. The next sell zone might be $4,050. An upside break above the $4,050 resistance could send Gold price toward $4,120. Any more gains may perhaps set the pace for an increase to $4,200.

Gold Price Reaches Record HighGold Price Reaches Record High
As shown in the charts, XAU/USD quotations have reached historic peaks today. According to media reports, gold is behaving as a safe haven amid growing uncertainty, which is intensifying as the U.S. government shutdown continues. Meanwhile:
→ Gold prices may rise above $3,950 in the coming days, approaching the psychological level of $4,000. The chart underlines the firm dominance of demand forces.
Technical Analysis of the XAU/USD Chart
Analysing gold price fluctuations suggests the formation of an ascending channel, which has remained relevant since mid-last month.
On 30 September (when the price formed peak A) we noted that:
→ the sharp drop from peak A indicated bear confidence;
→ the price might correct towards $3,800, as bulls were exhausted, requiring another consolidation period to resume upward movement and form a “bull flag” pattern.
Indeed, the price soon tested the $3,800 level (shown by the arrow), after which bulls regained strength. However, a new “bull flag” did not form; instead, three peaks of a “head and shoulders” pattern (A–B–C) emerged, which did not lead to a reversal. This failed bearish pattern emphasised the bulls’ strength in today’s gold market.
From a bullish perspective, the price confidently broke above $3,900, where a local resistance line (shown in red) and the ascending channel’s median lie.
On the other hand, the price has approached the upper boundary of the channel, and the RSI indicator is already in the overbought zone.
If sentiment does not shift significantly, bulls’ attempt to reach the psychological level of $3,950 could make XAU/USD more vulnerable to a pullback – in which case the channel’s median could become the nearest target for sellers.
