XAUUSD– Market at 3800 Following the Bias of previous AnalysisIn Case Study #9 (26th Sept), we highlighted a standby entry. But market has given Buying signals in range 3730-3745.So we entered
So market have not followed same path, but reacted in our bias direction.
This shows how market sometimes continues without retracements. Market has given already 700 pips plus in our direction bias. Market has sustained above 3752 & 3762.
In our last analysis, we discussed how Gold (XAUUSD) was in a strong bullish wave, with key support zones holding and momentum indicating further upside. We also highlighted that patience and discipline were essential as the market was preparing for a breakout.
🔎 Today’s Scenario (29th Sept Update)
Price continues to respect our mapped zones but lacks strength above confirmation levels.
Upside: Only if 3790 / 3800 sustains, momentum can build toward 3812 → 3833 → 3872+.
Downside: Failure at these levels 3765-3750 opens path toward 3737 → 3710 → 3699 → 3680 zones.
Standby entry: Entered in the zone 3730-3745.
✅ What Happened Since Then:
Our earlier mapped levels and ranges played out accurately – the market has steadily moved upward.
The price has now touched 3800, perfectly aligning with our anticipated trajectory.
Traders who followed with patience could capture a swing rally of more than 350+ points since our last update.
🧠 Expert Guidance / Precautions
Lessons from This Rally:
Discipline > Prediction – Levels were already known; what mattered was the patience to hold.
Emotions vs. Strategy – Many exit early due to fear/greed, but structured planning wins.
Compounding Vision – Even a small lot size can grow significantly if trades are executed with consistency.
SL hit = protection, not failure. Risk control keeps us in the game while traps unfold.
Patterns alone are not enough. Morning Star & Engulfing both failed → context is key.
Flexibility wins. Don’t marry bias; adapt to new confirmations.
Wait for HTF closes. Lower timeframe noise misleads during traps.
Precaution: Avoid aggressive entries on first breakout attempts; let the market prove direction.
Current View & Precautions:
At 3808, the market is at an important psychological zone.
Partial profit booking is wise for short-term traders.
Long-term swing traders should trail stop-losses to lock in gains.
Watch carefully for reversal signals; rallies often invite retracements.

GOLD → The hunt for liquidity ahead of growth FX:XAUUSD . Technical analysis for the new trading session. On Friday, the local correction ended and there was a strong bullish impulse, which was sold off by the end of the session. What to expect next?
Gold is trading in the upper half of the current trading range of 3728-3791. The US session initiated the end of the technical correction, which ended with a breakout of the consolidation resistance at 3755. A momentum of 300 pips was formed, and the price hit the local limit resistance zone of 3783, from which the market began to sell off. However, the current correction of the bullish momentum is not so scary in the current perspective, as MM is forming a retest of the zone of interest to capture liquidity in order to continue the bullish trend. Thus, a false breakdown of the support zone 3759 - 3755 or the ascending line may shift the momentum towards the bulls, which in turn may lead to growth to 3783 - 3791.
Resistance levels: 3783, 3791, 3800, 3810
Support levels: 3759, 3755, 3743
If, during the retest of the support zone, the bulls keep the price above the blue zone at 3759, this will be a positive sign confirming the bullish structure, which could lead to a price recovery and a retest of the ATH.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD NEARS THE HIGHEST [0 - 5000 RANGE] QUARTILE. WHAT IT MEANSWere you still a 'TikTok - style' trader searching your next '5-minutes maid' trade, or still stay shy to become a Gold Bug, but Gold spot this session on September 22, 2025 prints new all the history high , and nears to $3750 per troy ounce mark, i.e. the highest quartile.
Gold’s summer 2025 recent stagnation stemed from a confluence of fundamental and technical factors, reflecting both macroeconomic uncertainty and price action signals that have defined the gold market through 2025. The outlook came clear above $ 3500 per troy ounce, overbalancing upside catalysts vs resistance and correction risks.
Fundamental Reasons
Federal Reserve and Interest Rates. With markets closely watching the U.S. Federal Reserve, current gold prices reflect anticipation of imminent rate cuts (two extra 25 b.p. cuts in 2025, and one more 25 b.p. in 2026). Speculation that the Fed extends pivot to a dovish stance has reinforced support, whule the pause' expectations shed, sending prices higher.
Uncertainty and Safe Haven Demand. The primary fundamental support for gold in 2025 has been record global economic and policy uncertainty—comparable to pandemic-era highs—driven by trade policy threats, tariffs, and geopolitical risks. This uncertainty spiked gold to new highs above $3,500 in September 2025.
Inflation and Macro Risks. Still sticky real estete' inflation and soft commodities (coffee, cocoa, eggs, orange juice) inflation, concerns over U.S. debt, and shifting global central bank reserves have all added underlying support, and all of that have resulted in a sustained breakout beyond historical resistance levels.
Technical Aspects and Further Price Action Outlook
Key Trading Range. After jumping above $3,500/oz, gold has traded in a defined highway channel ($3,500–$3,750/oz), nearing to the highest quartile of range.
Support and Resistance. Current strong support lies at $3,500, and resistance around $3,700–$3,750/oz. Technical tops at these levels, coupled with declining MACD readings and steady On-Balance Volume, could reinforce the near-term pullback bias.
Risk appetite after post-April crater' recovery may cool down shortly, on US and global stock markets. The September seasonality for the S&P 500 index refers to the historical tendency for the stock market to weaken during September. Over nearly a century, September has been the worst-performing month on average for the S&P 500, often showing negative returns. This phenomenon, sometimes called the "September Effect," is considered a market anomaly as it challenges the efficient markets hypothesis.
In brief, S&P 500 index September's average performance is the weakest compared to all other calendar months, that could lead to surging demand for safe-heaven assets like Gold that could primarily fill the next range in such cases.

GOLD surpasses historical peak - waiting for boost from NFPNews of the past week: OANDA:XAUUSD approaches historical peak, benefits from US tariffs and geopolitical tensions
• In the trading session on September 26, the spot gold price surpassed the $3,760/ounce mark and fluctuated around $3,780, just a short distance from the historical peak of $3,791 set earlier this week. This is also the sixth consecutive week of increase for the precious metal, thanks to increased demand for safe havens in the context of new US tariffs and escalating geopolitical tensions.
• The August personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation report contained few surprises: Core PCE rose 0.2% month-over-month, in line with forecasts and below July's initial 0.3% reading (which was later revised down). Year-over-year, core PCE held steady at 2.9%, still above the Fed's 2% target. Total PCE rose 0.3% month-over-month, up from July's 0.2% reading; year-over-year, it edged up to 2.7% from 2.6%.
• This inflationary trend has weakened the US dollar, providing additional support for gold prices. However, the Fed’s monetary policy picture remains cautious. After cutting interest rates by 25 basis points last week, many Fed officials have stressed that there is no need to rush to ease further as price pressures persist despite signs of a slowdown in the labor market.
• Meanwhile, U.S. economic data released on Thursday, including stronger-than-expected second-quarter GDP growth and lower jobless claims, added to the Fed’s concerns, potentially complicating the path to rate cuts, while gold continues to benefit from haven demand and a fraught political and trade environment.
This week: Global markets await US jobs data and signals from the Fed
• From September 29 to October 4, global financial markets will be watching the speeches of US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials after the September interest rate cut. The biggest highlight is the non-farm payroll (NFP) report released on Friday, a factor that could shape the interest rate path at the Fed's meeting in late October.
• At the start of the week, the Eurozone will release a series of data on economic sentiment, consumer confidence and industrial climate, important indicators to check the possibility of escaping the risk of stagflation. On Tuesday, Australia decides on its benchmark interest rate, Japan publishes its policy summary, while China releases its manufacturing PMI. Germany also releases CPI and retail sales on the same day. In the US, Chicago PMI and JOLTs employment data will be released, along with a series of speeches from regional Fed presidents, where views on interest rate cuts are clearly divided.
• Wednesday will see the US ADP jobs report and the Eurozone harmonized CPI, which are key data for ECB policy. In addition, the final PMIs from the Eurozone, Germany, France and the UK will be released. The Fed continues its series of speeches, including from the Vice Chairman, which will further focus the market on the employment-inflation balance.
• The climax comes on Friday when the US releases its September non-farm payrolls. If the data is weaker than expected, the chances of the Fed cutting interest rates by another 25 basis points in October will increase, weakening the USD and supporting gold prices. Conversely, strong data could reverse expectations and strengthen the greenback. On the same day, Japan releases its unemployment rate, adding to the currency market.
• Overall, this week is a clash of economic data and policy guidance. NFP will be a key measure to break the Fed’s current balance, while European and Japanese data reflect global policy divergence. For investors, gold and the US dollar are likely to be volatile, while crude oil will be influenced by inventory data and Chinese PMIs.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
Summary: Gold on the daily chart is running in a clear uptrend channel, buyers are still in control but need to pay attention to the accumulation phase and high RSI before entering orders.
Technical perspective
• Main trend: Strong increase — price is fluctuating in a clear uptrend channel, tops/cores/bottoms are all making lower and higher lows → bullish structure is intact.
• Moving average (MA): Short-term MA is pointing up, price is above MA → confirms the uptrend and MA acts as dynamic support when there is a pullback.
• Key support: ~3,720–3,738 USD/oz (near support/lower consolidation band); stronger support around 3,629–3,630 (previous bottom).
• Technical resistance/target: immediate resistance ~3,791 USD (recent top). Fibonacci targets if broken: 3,825 (0.5) → 3,872 (0.618) → 3,938 (0.786) → extension to ~4,022 (extension).
• RSI & momentum: RSI is in high territory but not yet giving strong reversal signals — momentum remains positive but warns of technical correction risk.
Risk management tips & signals to watch
• Split orders, don't go all-in; limit risk to 1–2% of account per order.
• Monitor RSI: if you see a negative Divergence + a strong bearish candle closing below the lower channel boundary, postpone the Buy.
• Macro news (PCE, NFP, Fed speech) can create a strong gap, it is best to use Stop Trading around those events.
• If it breaks below 3,630 with high Volume, the Bullish Scenario is null, need to switch to capital preservation.
Basic scenario: still prioritize long because of the bullish structure and MA support. However, smart Trades buy with a plan, have disciplined Stop, and don't forget: gold likes macro Drama, so keep a flexible mentality.

xauusdAs long as gold is trading above 3804 in an hour, there is a possibility of gold prices rising.
If it stabilizes below 3804, the possibility of reaching the targets 3780-3760 and 3718 is not out of the question.
If gold is traded below 3718 and stabilized, there is a possibility of gold falling to the 3600 channel.
Therefore, orders to buy gold are in the area of 3804 to 3800 with a stop loss of 3790
And if it stabilizes below 3800, we are gold sellers and the targets 3780, 3760 and 3718 with a stop loss of 3814 are activated.
Hellena | GOLD (4H): LONG to support area of 3800.Dear colleagues, the last forecast is canceled, but I recommended that trades should be set trades to breakeven because there is a high probability of wave “3” extension.
It looks like the upward impulse is still not over and I expect the final formation of wave “5” to the 3800 area. Yes - this target is quite close, but now it makes no sense to make a long forecast with a correction in wave “2” of higher order (red).
As soon as I get confirmation that the correction in wave “2” has started - I will make a forecast with more points.

Lingrid | GOLD Weekly Outlook: The $3,800 Battle Royale BeginsThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous weekly idea . OANDA:XAUUSD maintains its relentless upward trajectory, with persistent buying interest emerging on every meaningful decline. The precious metal has transformed into a premium "buy the dip" opportunity, reflecting underlying strength that continues to attract investors.
The technical picture reveals that gold is trading the support zone around $3,760, having successfully broken out of its previous range. The upward channel structure remains intact, supported by a robust trendline that has guided the rally from the $3,400 level. The re-accumulation phase visible in the charts suggests institutional positioning ahead of the next leg higher.
However, the market may be approaching a temporary consolidation phase. The 1H chart indicates potential for a 2-10% pullback toward the $3,720 - $3,710 support zone like it did before, and this area would align with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. This healthy correction could provide an excellent optimal entry opportunity for late buyers.
The psychological $3,800 level may serve as a consolidation floor, creating the foundation for gold's next assault on higher targets. With the upward momentum firmly established and technical indicators showing bullish structure, any weakness should be viewed as a strategic accumulation opportunity rather than a trend reversal. The long-term trajectory remains decidedly bullish until the price action will show otherwise.
If this idea resonates with you or you have your own opinion, traders, hit the comments. I’m excited to read your thoughts!

Gold Price Analysis – Bullish Channel Points to $3,936+Gold is trading around $3859 and is moving within an upward channel, keeping the overall structure bullish. Price has recently tested support near $3844 and is showing signs of holding this zone. As long as gold stays above $3840, upside momentum may continue towards $3896 first, and then extend higher towards $3936–$3960 in line with the channel’s upper boundary. On the downside, a break below $3827 could trigger a deeper pullback towards $3793, which is the channel’s base support. In summary, gold remains bullish above $3840, but a drop below $3827 would shift momentum towards further correction.
Overall, the structure remains bullish while price stays inside the ascending channel, but short-term volatility and false breakouts should be expected.
🔑 Key Levels to Watch:
- Resistance: $3896 → $3936 → $3960
- Support: Immediate support $3844 → $3827 → $3805

XAUUSD Projection: Expecting More UpsideOANDA:XAUUSD The price has dropped sharply from the top of the channel and is now approaching a key reaction zone, where several strong technical factors are converging: horizontal support, trendline support, and the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement level. This is the area where I expect the market to react strongly.
If the upward momentum picks up again from here, it’s highly likely that the channel's peak will be broken, and I’m targeting a higher level, around 3830. This is a price level I believe will be tested if the bullish trend continues.
However, trading always comes with risks. If the price closes below the lower boundary of the channel, the bullish structure will be broken and a bearish trend could start immediately.
Trade safely!
Excellent re-Buy orders on GoldAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: 'My position: I have made excellent Profits on Gold Buying #3,801.80 firstly towards #3,812.80, then when #3,810.80 established decent Support zone, Bought Gold aggressively towards #3,827.80 extension. Unfortunately, I have closed most of my Buys there however Profit was excellent since I Traded with 200 Lot's. Well done for all who followed my Buying calls, well done!
Gold is on the way to test my #4,000.80 benchmark for the fractal.'
I have closed my orders on #3,827.80 however engaged another set Buying orders last night with no Take Profit and manually closed all my orders on #3,886.80 few moments ago. This is indeed real delight for all Traders to participate on Bull trend, booking excellent Profits on the way up towards my #4,000.80 benchmark Medium-term Target.
My position: I do believe however that Gold is set for small pullback then another wave to the upside. I assume no new orders for now.
How to Find Key Levels and Support/Resistance Zones Gold XAUUSD
Key levels and support/resistance zones are 2 essential concepts for profitable trading Gold.
In this article, I will share with you a simple and a proven way to find levels and supply/demand clusters on XAUUSD chart.
I will provide a complete guide with examples.
Always start levels/zones analysis on Gold with key levels identification.
Simply put, a key level is a completion point of a strong bullish or bearish movement.
It is the highest high of a bullish wave and the lowest low of a bearish wave.
Let's take a price action on Gold for the last month and let's try to identify key levels.
Analyzing peeks and bottoms of significant price movements, I managed to quickly find a bunch of important key levels.
The ones that are below current spot prices will be called key support levels, while the ones that are above current prices will be called key resistance levels.
What many traders miss, analyzing key levels, is that every key level will always be a part of support/resistance zones.
Candle closes of highs and lows of important price movement will also be important levels.
I underlined all such levels on our Gold chart.
These levels and highs/lows of the impulses will compose supply and demand zones.
That is how these zones look.
The areas that are based on key supports will be called demand zones.
The areas that are based on key resistances will be called supply zones.
The logic is that a high volume of selling orders will be distributed within supply clusters.
Probabilities will be high that a bearish reaction will follow after a test of such a zone.
Demand zones will accumulate buying orders and buying activity.
With a high probability, Gold price will bounce from such zones.
Levels and zones analysis will provide you with a map for trading Gold.
Use that as a map that 95% of retail traders will not see.
It will help you find profitable trades.

XAUUSD Long: Bullish Momentum to ContinueHello, traders! The price auction for XAUUSD has been in a strong bullish phase, confirmed by the establishment of a well-defined ascending channel. This uptrend was initiated after a breakout from lower levels and has shown significant strength by pushing through multiple prior resistance areas, including the 3470 DEMAND 2 and 3675 DEMAND levels, turning them into new support.
Currently, the price action is continuing its ascent within the upper portion of this ascending channel, indicating that the bullish initiative remains firmly in control. The market is in a clear expansion phase, with very little sign of significant selling pressure, suggesting that any pullbacks are likely to be minor and short-lived.
My scenario for the development of events is a direct continuation of the current bullish momentum. I believe that the price will only make a shallow correction from the current levels before the next impulsive wave higher begins. In my opinion, the underlying trend is strong enough to carry the price to a new high within the channel. The take-profit is therefore set at 3835 points, targeting the upper resistance line of the channel. Manage your risk.
#GOLD is trading around $3,860. Earlier in my premium channel, #GOLD is trading around $3,860. Earlier in my premium channel, I mentioned that confirmation above $4,000 could open the path toward $4,800 when gold was trading near $3,000.
🔸 Key Support Zone at $3,250–$3,550:
Price is currently mixed around $3,900–$4,000, with a real chance of cooling down toward $3,400–$3,200 before resuming higher. This remains a strong accumulation zone.
🔸 Upside Target: $4,700–$4,800
The long-term bullish outlook is intact, with targets above $4,700 once the consolidation phase ends.
🔸 Risk Level at $3,200:
A breakdown below $3,200 would invalidate the bullish scenario and open the door for deeper downside.
🔸 Outlook:
If you are holding: Stay patient and keep positions for the upside target.
If you are not holding: Fresh buying opportunities may come near $3,500–$3,200.
XAUUSD: Stepping Up Within the Rising ChannelHello everyone, Kilian here!
Gold (XAUUSD) is currently in a strong upward trend, moving within a rising price channel. Recently, the price pulled back from the top of the channel and touched the lower boundary, where it faced significant resistance. This suggests that buyers are stepping back into the market, pushing the price higher once again.
If the bullish momentum continues, we could see the price break through the top of the channel, signaling a further upward move. Given the current market conditions, this scenario looks quite likely.
However, if the price closes below the lower boundary of the channel, the bullish trend could be invalidated, and we may see a shift toward a downtrend. At that point, we’ll need to be cautious and watch for any potential short-term pullbacks as the market adjusts.
Gold’s Hidden Trigger: Why the Death Cross Matters CAPITALCOM:GOLD Hidden Trigger: Why Death Crosses Still Matter in a Secular Bull
Historically, when U.S. interest rates ECONOMICS:USINTR cross below the unemployment rate ECONOMICS:USUR - a kind of macro “death cross” - gold has often suffered sharp corrections even within a secular bull. We saw this in 1974–76, 1980–82, and 2008, where liquidity stress forced gold lower before the long‑term uptrend resumed. It’s a reminder that even in a secular bull, secondary corrections can be brutal when macro conditions tighten.
The difference today is the sovereign bid. Since 2022, central banks have been buying over 1,000 tonnes annually, creating a structural floor that didn’t exist in past cycles. Any weakness is likely to be bought aggressively, producing a V‑shaped recovery rather than a drawn‑out bear market.
Meanwhile, the 10‑Year Real Interest Rate is hovering around 1.5–1.7%, still artificially high. History shows that when real yields inevitably turn negative (likely by 2026), gold tends to explode higher regardless of crisis timing.
Layer this onto the 16‑year secular cycle thesis and the central bank accumulation story, and the setup is compelling: gold may still face sharp but temporary corrections, yet the long‑term trajectory remains firmly higher. The key question is whether sovereign demand can fully absorb potential Western ETF liquidation during the next bout of financial stress.

XAUUSD Bearish Setup – Respecting Resistance Within ChannelPrice has formed a lower high near the weak high zone and is now moving inside a bearish channel. The area around 3865 is acting as resistance, and price has failed to break above it. As long as price stays below this level and inside the channel, the move down to the target at 3848.271 is expected.
This idea will become invalid if price breaks above the bearish channel. That would show a possible shift to bullish momentum. Until then, the plan is to look for short opportunities while price respects resistance and continues to make lower highs and lower lows.
