XAUUSD next possible move“Risk management is more important than being right.” – Ray Dalio
In trading and investing, always wanting to be right can lead to impulsive decisions and significant losses.
It’s not your ego, but your ability to protect your capital that determines your long-term success.
Risk management is like a shield: it allows you to stay in the game, even when the market goes against your predictions. Being a good trader doesn’t mean always predicting the market correctly, but knowing how to limit the damage when you're wrong.
By adopting a disciplined approach to risk, you create an environment where mistakes are not failures, but learning opportunities.
Remember, the goal is not always to win, but to stay in position to win tomorrow.

XAUUSDHere is our in-depth view and update on XAUUSD . Potential opportunities and what to look out for. This is a long-term overview on the pair.
Alright first, let’s take a step back and take a look at XAUUSD from a bigger perspective . For this we will be looking at the H4 time-frame .
XAUUSD is currently trading at around 2650s . Our scenarios stay the same. Let’s take another look at them with more in-depth outcomes.
Scenario 1: BUYS
We broke above 2660.
That would confirm continuation buys and we would have to keep our eye out on our next KL (Key Level) at around 2714 .
Scenario 2: SELLS
We respected our KL (Key Level) 2660 and have not broke above it.
We are now targeting breaks of 2590 and revisits of 2530 . If 2530 is to be broken, we could easily see our next Key Level sitting at 2480 .
Personal opition:
The direction for now is unclear until we break our mentioned key levels. Be patient and stay tuned for possible scalps on this pair. Be extremely careful if we revisit 2660.
KEY NOTES
- XAUUSD breaking above 2660 would confirm buys UP TO 2714.
- XAUUSD failing to break above 2660 would confirm sells.
- Breaks below 2604 would result in sells, down to 2550 and 2530.
- If 2530 is broken, we can see our next KL (Key Level) 2480.
Happy trading!

Ready to go long on goldGood morning, bros! Let's re-examine the gold market together!
Gold fell back again after touching around 2674, with the current lowest falling to around 2661. From a short-term structural point of view, gold constructed a sub-high of 2674 at the hourly level, forming an 'M' top structure with yesterday's high of 2676, forming a negative impact on gold. A certain degree of technical pressure;
However, from an overall perspective, if gold cannot fall below the 2650 position during the fall, it will reduce the pressure on the hourly level 'M' top and accumulate energy during the fall, which will help gold continue to fall after the fall. The price fluctuates and rises, and it is easier to break through the resistance in the 2678 area, and may even continue to rise to the 2680-2690 area.
So in terms of short-term trading, we can use the 2660-2650 area as support and try to go long on gold! Bros, are you bullish on gold in the short term like me? If you want to learn more detailed trading ideas and get more trading signals, you can choose to join the channel at the bottom of the article to make trading no longer difficult and make making money a pleasure!
12.10 If gold falls back, go longYesterday, the gold market opened high at 2645.3 in the early trading due to fundamental risk aversion news. After that, the market first filled the gap and reached 2627.2. After that, the market rose strongly. The daily line reached 2676.4 and then the market consolidated. The daily line finally closed at 2660. After that, the market closed with a spindle pattern with long upper and lower shadows.
BUY: 2645 Stop loss: 2640 2635
$: 2657, 2667, 2677. Breakthroughs look at 2685, 2692, 2702-2710.
12.10 Geopolitical gold prices are expected to riseThe oscillating market is a market that accumulates momentum. The longer the oscillation lasts, the longer the unilateral continuation will last after the breakthrough. This is the basic law of the market trend.
In the morning of December 9, the price of gold rose first, which was a response to the risk events over the weekend. The safe-haven property of gold was reflected again.
The situation in the Middle East (Syria) is deteriorating continuously and rapidly. Its opposition has seized control of the capital Damascus, and the top leader has been forced to flee. This "evolution" is the key to the deterioration of the incident, which has aggravated market concerns.
Intraday analysis suggestions:
In the short term, the support below the gold price is $2,620. This position has been tested and tested many times in the early stage. The upper pressure is at $2,660 and the strong pressure is at $2,670. The early week period can maintain a bullish trend on the strong support of $2,620.
The pressure shown by the technical side is very obvious at the moment, but the fundamental support factors also exist. This is the reason for the continuous struggle between long and short positions, and it is also the reason for the breakthrough. On the whole, after the oscillation or struggle between long and short positions, the probability of the long side winning is relatively high. Therefore, the transaction can be mainly long on dips
12.6 Gold breaks bottom to welcome non-agricultural sector!Tonight's non-agricultural data, the market is divided into two sections:
1. Before the non-agricultural data, according to the current rhythm, it is considered to be volatile, so change the range or short, volatile 618, choose the intraday decline and rebound 618 position, you can also short.
2. Non-agricultural data, last month's non-agricultural data was only 12,000. According to ADP, it is bullish for gold, but the data is bullish, and the probability of non-agricultural data being negative is not high. It can only be lower than expected. At the same time, the increase in unemployment rate is bullish for gold. This is also difficult.
So for the evening non-agricultural data, the current decline will either release the non-agricultural trend in advance or rush down and fall back. It is unlikely to be simply bearish.
The intraday short-term 618 position is at the 2626-8 line, which can be blocked for the second time.
Non-agricultural support, if it continues to break the bottom, don't grab more, this kind of continuous bottom breaking, more is meaningless.
See if it bottoms out and rebounds, and treat it as a new range of fluctuations.
Focus on the 100-day moving average position below, the daily large-scale support level
In addition, according to our shock formula, short-term and long-term opportunities are not available at the moment.
Before the non-agricultural market, there will be a second reminder, just follow the members.
12.5 COMEX Gold Technical AnalysisFrom a technical perspective, the gold daily line is close to the upper edge of convergence, and the Bollinger Bands show signs of closing. At the same time, the price has not broken through the moving average pressure, and the KDJ indicator is in a state of fluctuation without an obvious direction.
The daily level convergence pressure is around $2,690. If it breaks through, it is expected to accelerate upward and test the previous high point. If it breaks below the support of 2,640, it will accelerate downward.
From the 1-hour level, the Bollinger Bands are closing, and the convergence structure is entering the end, waiting for the direction to be chosen. The current volatility has dropped significantly.
The technical indicators remain volatile, with intraday high selling and low buying, and the lower support is $2,650 and the upper pressure is $2,690.
SELL: 2,650 Defense: 60 Target: 35-----30
11.4 Gold weakens in the short termGold has fluctuated for two consecutive trading days, and it should break today.
Yesterday, as expected, the daily line rose after a single negative, mainly in three aspects:
1. Since this wave of rebound, the daily line has been a single negative, so look at the cycle.
2. The previous day rebounded too much. Although it retreated at the 618 position, the double bottom position is still there.
3. In the morning, 2633 is not only a rebound and retreat to the 618 position, but also a previous low point.
When looking at fluctuations, I have always emphasized a method, 618 is better to make a mistake than to let it go.
Therefore, we used gold non-short yesterday.
At the same time, let's look at yesterday's technical points:
Yesterday emphasized two watersheds, one is the time point of the European session, and the other is the price: 2633 and 2644, and the intraday breakthrough will continue.
1. In the morning, it directly relied on the low point to rise, quickly to the 2652 line, and the price effectively broke the morning low of 2644. It also emphasized that after the breakthrough, it is enough to step back more.
2. 2639 is the morning rebound and retracement to 618. The shock continues to see a step-back entry.
3. Although the performance before the US market is not big, the formula emphasizes that the correction at 6-8 points before the US market is still bullish. Yesterday, the US market also continued to rise after the breakthrough as expected.
But there are also regrets. It continued to fall back at 12 o'clock in the morning.
In the formula time point, we will make a summary at 12 o'clock every night. On the one hand, the Asian market is now big, and we will make a layout at 7-8 o'clock the next day, and also make a summary for the day.
Yesterday at 12 o'clock, it returned to the prototype: the first thought is that it was short at 7-8 o'clock this morning, and gold was weak.
Today, it is still the same. In this form, don't look at the continuous positive cycle of the daily line. Instead, the yin and yang lines in the shock are interchanged. Today, we see a break and fall.
For operations, it has been emphasized recently that the Asian market fluctuates greatly, and the focus is on the layout at 7-8 o'clock.
Therefore, you can go short in the morning, the upper watershed is 2649, and the lower target is 2627-29.
In addition, if it falls below 2630 today, then it is still short in the European session.
Due to the oscillation pattern retracement, pay attention to the entry point at 618, and the extremely weak 382, which refers to the entry point for the second rebound when the intraday high falls to the low.
The daily hammer of gold market is extended and rubbed.From the technical perspective, the price of gold continues to fluctuate within the convergence triangle area. The decline on Monday this week is consistent with the characteristics of a volatile downward trend, with the lowest intraday price reaching 2620, which is exactly the starting point of the stabilization and rebound last week, highlighting its key support significance in the volatile market. As the price falls, the market has fallen below the volatile upward support line and is under pressure from the previous high of 2650, with a significant double suppression effect.
Looking ahead to the intraday trend, the suppression of the 2650 line still needs to be focused on this trading day. Given that gold is still in the volatile downward stage of the large-cycle convergence triangle and the downward trend has not yet ended, there is a possibility that the price of the market will fall below 2620. Therefore, in the short term, we maintain a bearish mindset, with 2650 as the key suppression level, and are bearish on gold. However, in the context of frequent interweaving of long and short factors, investors need to pay close attention to market dynamics and flexibly adjust strategies to cope with changes that may occur at any time.
Gold Long Term Analysis Dec 1stWe saw another week of volatile movements for Gold. This time, the movement appeared to be influenced by news of Trump's pick for Treasury Secretary and the Ceasefire announced between Israel and Hezbollah. This resulted in a sudden drop in the Gold price at the start of the week before we saw some significant economic news released towards the end of the week.
The announcement of the ceasefire resulted in some some risk-on movement of money as the market viewed this as an easing of tension in at least one geopolitical hotspot. Some sabre rattling from Russia, mean that this was short lived. Whilst the reaction to Trump's nomination of Scott Bessant for Treasury Secretary seemed a little confused given his more muted comments about the use of tariffs and stated desire to reduce the budget deficit. Both of these, on the face of it, would help to ease inflation and make the Fed's job of lowering rates much easier and should have been a support for the Gold price. Towards the end of the week it appears that the market had better parsed the implications of this pick.
On the economic front we had inflation, GDP and labour market numbers broadly come in at expectations along with the FOMC minutes talk of a potential slowing in rate cuts. The probability of a December rate cut increased slightly as yields and the US dollar both dropped.
It is possible that the the observed volatility in Gold prices continues in the short-term leading up to the Fed's interest rate decision in December and the economic implications of Trump's policy statements and cabinet picks continue to be debated.
Looking at the current trend, we have seen periods of sideways movements following an upwards movement in the price and it is likely that we are entering another phase leading up to the innaguration of the president elect. It has been pointed out the the last seven years have seen a rally in Gold prices, but it is unclear whether the conditions are present for an eight. If the Fed chooses to hold off on a rate cut in December, then there's a good chance we won't. I will look at the likely price movement leading into next week in another post.
Gold Price Analysis For Next Move? Read CaptionOANDA:XAUUSD dropped from 2790 and currently trading on 2557 it will consolidate here from range of 2546-2557 and will make a rectangle pattern , once rectangle constructed it will breakout the rectangle and give the targets given in chart.
Gold have just completed its Elliott 4th Wave in Day time frame and also completed 5th impulsive wave in short time from from H1 to 5min now, now it will do corrective move in short term and 5th impulsive move in high time frame
Long Position Stuck, Currently Reversing the LossesYesterday, the long position got stuck, but I have been using scalping on shorter timeframes to recover the losses, and now it's turned into a profit. With the remaining time today, I believe gold will rise to around 2630. During the process, I adjusted stop-loss levels and position sizes flexibly, capturing short-term fluctuations to turn the situation from a loss into a profit. Moving forward, if the price of gold continues to rise, I will maintain the long position and adjust the strategy according to market movements, with the target around the 2630 level.
Gold let's go ( Repost )- if we just analyze FA basically, the world political climate, fear of wars, Covid, Crises, inflation, Gold will always remains for the old generation the best store of value.
- i don't show indicators to keep the chart clean but Gold is turning green and extremely bullish on Monthly Timeframe.
- Gold made a constant flat accumulation between 2021-2022.
- BB starting to be thinner ( sign of a move ).
- This is a Medium/Long Term investment ( 2023 ).

Happy Tr4Ding !
Gold Expected to Rise, Target at 2733A great weekend has come to an end, and last week brought us substantial profits. This week, let’s aim for another strong start!
Gold trading opens in just half an hour. On Friday, the price of gold showed limited movement, slightly different from our expectations, but this is not a concern—the rally is still on track! As of Friday’s close, gold prices hovered around the MA5 level without fully breaking through, suggesting some resistance. However, a broader time frame shows that the overall rebound isn’t over yet. Friday’s movement was merely an initial attempt to test the MA30 resistance, with the major resistance level expected at the MA60.
With this in mind, my strategy this week is to buy gold below 2680. The first target range is 2685-2696, the second target 2706-2712, and the final target 2721-2733. Here’s to another profitable week ahead!
Gold Drops $100! Is Now the Perfect Time for a Pre-Rebound Buy?With Trump’s presidency and his economic focus, gold prices have taken a sharp plunge, dropping nearly $100. While I anticipated a decline, this significant drop exceeded my expectations. Fortunately, we managed to close out our long positions above 2700 and also capitalized on a successful sell-off during the New York session.
Gold has now fallen below 2660 and remains pressured under the MA5 on the 30M chart. However, I believe a strong rebound is imminent. I estimate that gold could reach a solid bottom around 2646, with a possible low near 2631. On the 1D chart, the MA60 sits at approximately 2618, though I believe it’s unlikely to drop that far today.
Today’s plan is to buy on the dip, with an eye on a potential rise to around 2780, after which I’ll shift strategy to selling. By seizing this potential rebound, we stand to capture considerable gains!
Gold Trading Insights Ahead of the Election!Although gold didn’t fluctuate much today, our returns were quite impressive! These small range movements create excellent opportunities for agile buying and selling. As I mentioned yesterday, the New York market did indeed decline today, and the buy signal I provided at the open hit the TP of 2745 perfectly. I then began selling, ultimately closing the trade at 2733 with great results.
Tomorrow is the election, and I believe the results will boost the dollar, which could lead to a drop in gold prices. I plan to continue selling during tomorrow's New York session. What do you think?
Clear Outlook for Gold Rebound: Bulls May Retest 2753At today’s opening, gold formed a long lower shadow, indicating that support remains intact. Currently, the MA5 is undergoing a shift from support to resistance, which, if successful, could signal a short-term bullish trend and a potential move higher.
I expect gold to approach the MA60, around 2745, followed by a pullback to retest the MA5 to confirm support, potentially reaching 2753. Thus, buy orders placed on Friday may see profits today.
However, as we approach the New York session, gold may encounter downward pressure. The daily chart shows a notable bearish divergence, suggesting a long-term trend shift. Barring a major bullish catalyst, this divergence may only resolve through further declines or consolidation. Iran’s possible retaliation could serve as a pivotal event.
Meanwhile, tomorrow’s U.S. election is expected to bolster the dollar, potentially adding pressure on gold. Today’s strategy favors buying, but attention should shift to selling opportunities tomorrow.
Gold after U.S. election : Since rising tensions have played a significant role in the recent increase in gold prices, let’s look at each U.S. presidential candidate’s approach to handling these tensions and their future plans.
Kamala Harris, representing the Democratic Party, is focused on diplomatic efforts to reduce conflicts in the Middle East. She generally follows the Biden administration's approach, aiming to ease hostilities through aid and international agreements, including a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. This approach may help stabilize markets by reducing the volatility tied to prolonged conflicts.
Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, takes a more aggressive stance. He supports a strong alliance with Israel, endorses military responses to threats from Iran and its regional affiliates, and prioritizes U.S. strength and independence. Trump's “America First” stance could lead to continued or heightened tensions, which historically correlates with higher gold prices due to investor flight to safe-haven assets.
In summary:
Kamala Harris: Diplomatic de-escalation, which may stabilize gold prices.
Donald Trump: Military strength and strong alliances, likely to keep prices high in case of increased tension.
These policy differences could significantly impact markets depending on which candidate wins.

Study of DXY, Gold, and Fed Fund Rates using 200MA indicatorBlack line: DXY (U.S. dollar index)
Green line: DXY 200 week moving average
Yellow line: GC (Gold futures)
Blue line: DFF (U.S. Federal Funds Effective Rate)
Since 1971 when U.S. dollar went off the gold standard, there have been 6 instances when the DXY crossed below its 200 week moving average while it was rising. At closing on 27 September 2024 was the 7th instance of this DXY crossing.
Of interest:
Performance of gold when DXY crosses below, until DXY reaches a local minimum. Results are highlighted in purple boxes.
Of the 7 instances, interest rates were rising in 4, flat in 1, falling in 1, and presumed to be falling in the current scenario. The only rising rate period was 1985-92, when gold had a very marginal 4% gain. This was notably on the backside of the 1970's high inflation period. Technically, gold showed gains in all but 1 of these historical periods, with 1994-95 showing a 2% loss.
Conclusions:
1) DXY trend reversal downward is not always, or often, associated with a U.S. interest rate cutting cycle nor is it strongly correlated with gold price gains.
2) The start of a U.S. interest rate cutting cycle is not predictive of gold price gains.
