The interest rate remains volatile,and the gold operation layout📰 Impact of news:
1. Initial jobless claims data
2. US-Iran conflict continues
3. Pay attention to the Fed's decision
📈 Market analysis:
Gold has been trading sideways recently. It is expected that there will not be much fluctuation before today's Fed interest rate information and Powell's speech. It is expected to continue to fluctuate in the range of 3405-3365. At the same time, the escalation of geopolitical conflicts in the short term is also a point we need to pay attention to.

Gold Price Update – XAUUSDGold FX:XAUUSD has experienced rapid and intense volatility but overall remains stable, as investors weigh the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran while focusing on this week’s U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting.
At the time of reporting, spot gold CAPITALCOM:GOLD remains steady at $3,380/oz, down from yesterday’s (Tuesday) high of $3,403/oz.
Israel and Iran continued exchanging fire into a fifth day on Tuesday, as U.S. President Donald Trump called for the evacuation of Iran’s capital, Tehran, and cut short his trip to the G7 summit in Canada. Reports claim he had instructed the National Security Council to prepare in the Situation Room.
According to Reuters, Tehran has requested Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia to urge Trump to push Israel toward a ceasefire in exchange for Iran’s willingness to show flexibility in nuclear negotiations.
Trump’s latest post on Truth Social stated:
"I have had ZERO communication with Iran in any way, shape, or form regarding (peace talks). It’s fake news! If they want to negotiate, they know how to contact me. They should take the deal on the table—it will save many lives!!!"
Forexlive commented that anyone familiar with Trump knows he will definitely wait for Iran to approach him. Reports suggest Iran is attempting to negotiate a ceasefire, but no substantive developments have emerged yet.
Gold, a non-yielding asset, is widely seen as a hedge against geopolitical and economic uncertainty, and it tends to perform well in low interest rate environments. Therefore, fundamentally, gold should maintain a positive outlook in the current market context—even though sudden pullbacks can unsettle new traders. Personally, I’ve had many moments this year when I doubted myself and didn’t trust the uptrend—only to suffer bad outcomes… sigh.
The Fed’s interest rate decision and Chair Jerome Powell’s speech are scheduled for today (Wednesday). Traders currently expect the Fed to cut rates twice by year-end.
According to CME’s “Federal Reserve Watch” on June 18:
There is a 97.3% chance the Fed will keep rates unchanged in June, and a 2.7% chance of a 25bps rate cut.
In July, there is an 85.3% chance of holding rates steady, a 14.4% chance of a cumulative 25bps cut, and a 0.3% chance of a 50bps cut.
Technical Outlook for Gold (XAUUSD)
On the daily chart, gold has been oscillating around the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level and the psychological price of $3,400—previously highlighted as key support/resistance in our earlier analysis.
However, the overall technical structure remains unchanged, with the dominant trend still bullish. The 21-day EMA continues to act as a crucial support line, and trendline (a) remains the primary trend direction. Meanwhile, the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement serves as the nearest support, with price channel (b) defining the short-term trend.
In terms of momentum, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) remains above 50, which is also acting as a support level in this case. The distance from the overbought zone suggests further upside potential remains.
Intraday, a breakout above the psychological $3,400 level would provide a bullish signal, with the next target seen around $3,435 in the short term.
Key Levels to Watch:
Support: $3,371 – $3,350
Resistance: $3,400 – $3,435
Gold XAUUSD Move 18 June 2025Don't buy/sell this messy gold setup unless there's a clear, confirmed, and clean break— either above 3395 or below 3375.
Too many wicks = too much uncertainty and manipulation.
Investors clearly have no conviction right now.
👉 Wait for a solid candle close above 3395 for longs, or below 3375 for shorts.
Anything in between is just noise — stay out and stay safe.
XAUUSD Gold Trading Strategy June 18, 2025XAUUSD Gold Trading Strategy June 18, 2025:
Yesterday's trading session was in line with our assessment, the gold price bounced back after approaching the 336x support area; however, the upward force of the gold price is not really strong yet. From a technical perspective: The gold price tends to form an increasing accumulation pattern in the 3360 - 3400 area. In case the gold price accumulates above the 336x area, the gold price will bounce back strongly, however, if the gold price does not stay above the 336x area, it will fall deeply to the 331x area or even 327x.
We continue to trade according to the short-term trend and wait for a long-term buying opportunity. News about "Initial Unemployment Benefit Proposal" today may determine whether the gold price's movement breaks this short-term accumulation pattern or not.
Important price zones today: 3360 - 3365, 3405 - 3410 and 3435 - 3340.
Today's trading trend: BUY.
Recommended orders:
Plan 1: SELL XAUUSD zone 3408 - 3410
SL 3413
TP 3405 - 3395 - 3385 - 3365.
Plan 2: SELL XAUUSD zone 3435 - 3437

Gold (XAU/USD) 4H Technical Analysis - 18 June-2025Gold has been in a bullish 4H uptrend, making higher highs and higher lows. Recent data show gold peaked near ~$3,445 on June 16 (a new all-time high) before pulling back toward the $3,400 area.
In other words, price action remains constructive: successive higher lows (around $3,372, $3,322) and higher highs (around $3,445) indicate a strong uptrend.
As long as each pullback holds above the prior swing low (so far ~$3,372), the bullish structure (Break-of-Structure, BOS) is intact.
A decisive drop below ~3,372 (and especially below ~$3,322) would violate that structure (a Change-of-Character, CHoCH) and open a deeper correction.
Market Structure & Bias (4H)
Bullish bias: Gold has made a series of higher lows and highs on 4H, confirming an uptrend
Technical indicators (RSI bullish, price above 200-SMA) and fundamentals (safe-haven demand) support this bias.
Caution near $3,400:
The key $3,400 zone has switched roles as resistance-turned-support. Holding above $3,400 keeps bulls in control, but failure to regain it could allow a deeper dip toward ~$3,350.
Break-of-Structure (BOS): A BOS (new 4H high) upholds the uptrend.
A CHoCH (e.g. a close below $3,372/$3,322) would signal a possible reversal
Key 4H Levels & Zones
Resistance/Supply: ~$3,445–3,450 (recent swing high); ~$3,500 (psychological/all-time level).
Price may stall or reverse near these supply zones.
Pivot/$3,400: ~3,400–3,413 zone – a critical pivot. Gold traded near $3,400 recently; a break above targets $3,450, while failure could drop to support.
Support/Demand Zones: ~$3,372 (prior 4H higher-low). Near ~$3,350–3,353 – the 61.8–78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the last rally and a “golden pocket” demand area. ~$3,322–3,328 – a strong 4H demand order-block where price held on the last pullback.
Finally ~$3,300 (major low below).
Order Blocks & Imbalances: Smart-money traders note a 4H demand block at $3,322–3,328 (the low of a large bullish candle).
A brief sweep above $3,338 (a liquidity grab) was followed by a clean bounce from this zone.
Any unfilled gaps (imbalances) near $3,380–3,400 may attract price back during retracements.
In summary, the 4H chart shows a bullish structure with key support at ~$3,372–3,350 (demand/Fib zone) and resistance around $3,445–3,500. As FXStreet notes, the uptrend remains “intact” on 4H as long as dips are bought.
However, traders should watch for any break below $3,372/$3,322, which would flag a bearish structure break.
Until then, the overall bias is bullish, favoring long entries on dips into the above support zones.
1H High-Probability Trade Setups (Bullish Bias)
Setup 1 – Buy on $3,400 pivot hold: Entry zone $3,390–3,400 (at/just above 4H pivot). Stop: ~$3,380 (just below pivot, ~$10 below entry). TPs: $3,420 and $3,450. Trigger: A bullish candlestick pattern or break-and-retest of ~$3,400 (e.g. bullish engulfing or hammer on 1H). Reason: The $3,400 level is a key 4H support/resistance flip.
Holding here would confirm the uptrend continuation, targeting the recent swing highs. A 1H bullish signal (like a reversal bar) gives a clear entry.
Setup 2 – Buy on deep pullback: Entry zone $3,370–3,380 (around 4H higher-low). Stop: $3,360. TPs: $3,400 (the pivot) and $3,420. Trigger: A strong 1H bullish candle or double-bottom forming near zone. Reason: This area lines up with the 4H demand/Fib zone ($3,350–3,372).
It represents a higher-low in the 4H structure. A bounce here would signal buyers stepping in at a key support.
Setup 3 – Buy after breakout of $3,445: Entry zone $3,450–3,455 (above recent high). Stop: ~$3,440. TPs: $3,480 and $3,500. Trigger: A clean 1H candle close above $3,445 (breakout) and retest. Reason: A push above $3,445 (June high) would form a new 4H BOS, suggesting continued momentum. Buying on the breakout retest captures follow-through to the next targets.
(Each setup uses a small $~10 stop relative to gold’s price. Always wait for the specified trigger pattern before entering.)
Takeaway:
On the 4H chart, gold remains bullish while above ~$3,372/$3,350. Key zones to watch are $3,372–3,350 (buy zone) and $3,400–3,445 (sell/resistance). For now, favor long entries into support, and confirm with clear 1H signals before trading.
What on earth will happen to GOLD? why is it not up yet?XAUUSD
GOLD returns to the consolidation area of 3388-3403 after falling and landing at support 3366. The strength of the SELLER still looks quite strong considering that there has been no confirmation of buyer power at all such as Bullish Engulfing or other large bullish candles. GOLD will still fall again and has the potential to reach the support range of 3350 - 3366 as long as there is no penetration of resistance 3408
Congratulations on yesterday's profit. Today we will try to wait and see the movement of GOLD again before determining the entry.

My dear friends,
Today we will analyse GOLD together☺️
The in-trend continuation seems likely as the current long-term trend appears to be strong, and price is holding below a key level of 3,394.60 So a bearish continuation seems plausible, targeting the next low. We should enter on confirmation, and place a stop-loss beyond the recent swing level.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
Why Silver Could Outperform Gold in the Coming Months? Silver recently broke out above the key 34.85 resistance level, and this could be a game changer for the medium-term outlook. With rising concerns over government debt, trade uncertainty, and escalating geopolitical risks, gold rallied strongly from 2000 to 3500. Gold and silver typically have a high correlation, and silver tends to follow gold. However, during the latest tariff-driven rally, gold pushed toward 3500 while silver failed to keep up. So, why did gold outperform silver this time?
The answer lies in the demand dynamics. Gold demand primarily comes from the investment side, while silver demand has traditionally been balanced around 50% investment and 50% industrial use. That balance has now shifted significantly. According to the Silver Institute, only 17.8% of 2025 silver demand is expected to come from investments. If we group jewelry and silverware with investment as a “store of value” category, the mix becomes 61% industrial and 39% investment.
This shift has been driven by a surge in silver demand from the electrical and electronics sector. The growth of clean energy and AI technologies has accelerated silver usage. In fact, the electrical and electronics sector is projected to account for 40.5% of total silver demand in 2025. This explains why slowing global trade and economic activity have had a more negative effect on silver compared to gold, pushing the gold/silver ratio to historically high levels.
That said, this same dynamic could fuel silver’s rise in the coming years, supported by long-term trends in clean energy and advanced technology.
The breakout of 34.85 is a significant technical development . Silver has been in an active uptrend channel since 2024, but the 34.85 level repeatedly capped upward moves since October. With this breakout, silver now has room to rise gradually toward the upper boundary of the channel, potentially reaching near 40. Key support levels to watch are 34.85 and 34.45. As long as they hold, the primary direction remains upward. The moves may be gradual but could include sharp surges and continuation patterns like flags.
Gold Market Update – Technical Breakdown in FocusGold has broken below the ABCD harmonic pattern structure, a classic sign of a potential trend reversal. This bearish move is now approaching the critical support at $3385, which has acted as a structural pivot in past sessions.
Adding to this bearish outlook, the Momentum oscillator has crossed decisively below the 100-line, confirming a shift in directional strength and reinforcing downside potential.
🔽 TradeIdea – XAUUSD Short Setup
Entry Trigger: Initiate short positions only if price closes below $3385 on strong volume.
Take-Profit Target: $3360 – near the lower harmonic projection and previous demand zone.
Stop-Loss Idea: Above $3412 (structure invalidation level)
This setup aligns with both pattern-based analysis and momentum confirmation, increasing confidence for short-term bearish continuation.

Gold’s Game of Traps: Is the Dip a Setup for a Bigger Move? Gold’s Game of Traps: Is the Dip a Setup for a Bigger Move?
After an aggressive rally fueled by geopolitical FOMO headlines, gold (XAUUSD) saw a sudden pullback — but what looked like weakness might actually be a setup for smart accumulation. The market narrative is shifting, and price action is sending important signals...
🌍 Global Drivers Behind the Volatility
Middle East conflict between Israel and Iran continues to escalate, prompting global safe haven flows. Evacuation warnings and nuclear deal pressure add more uncertainty to the mix.
Despite bullish news, gold failed to hold its highs — a potential bull trap as institutional players took advantage of retail FOMO to offload.
Big capital may now be rotating from gold into other sectors like energy (oil) and discounted equity assets.
📉 Price Action & Technical Outlook (M30–H1)
After topping around 3442–3440, price snapped back into the mid-range — a sign of liquidity hunting rather than a full reversal.
The EMAs (13/34/89/200) on the M15–M30 timeframes are showing early signs of bearish crossover, hinting at further short-term weakness.
Below current price sits a clean Fair Value Gap (FVG) that could act as a magnet — aligning with a high-probability buy zone.
🎯 Trading Playbook
✅ BUY Setup – "Smart Money Entry Zone"
Buy Zone: 3342 – 3344
Stop Loss: 3338
Take Profit Targets:
→ 3348 → 3352 → 3356 → 3360
→ 3364 → 3368 → 3372 → 3380+
💡 Look for price to tap into the FVG and form a base with bullish confirmation (engulfing candle, divergence, or rising volume) before entering.
❌ SELL Setup – "Fade the Overhead Resistance"
Sell Zone: 3440 – 3442
Stop Loss: 3446
Take Profit Targets:
→ 3436 → 3432 → 3428 → 3424
→ 3420 → 3415 → 3410
⚠️ Only short on a strong rejection or bearish engulfing candle near the resistance — do not short blindly.
🧠 Market Psychology Insight
The initial Asian-session rally was likely a news-driven liquidity event.
Institutions appear to be rotating capital, using emotional retail entries as exit liquidity.
Current market conditions suggest a shakeout before a longer-term bullish move.
📌 Final Note
Don’t chase price. Let it come to your zones. This market is being driven by geopolitical narrative and smart money behavior, not just technicals alone.

GOLD BULLISH OUTLOOK📊 Gold Market Analysis – Bullish Outlook Developing
In yesterday’s market, we observed gold take out a key lower liquidity in the 3370s range. This liquidity sweep typically indicates the clearing of weak hands and positions the market for a potential reversal or continuation of a larger trend.
Following this move, gold has begun to establish a bullish trend stance, as the market structure shows signs of strength and renewed buying interest. The rejection of the 3370s level suggests that buyers are stepping in aggressively, potentially setting a solid foundation for an upward move.
From a technical perspective, this positions gold for a potential climb toward the 3440s, which serves as a short- to mid-term target. If the bullish momentum continues to build — particularly if it’s supported by favorable macroeconomic data or weakening in the U.S. dollar — we could see price action surge above the 3440s, opening up further upside potential.
This developing bullish scenario has been highlighted and discussed in the analysis. Traders and investors should monitor key support and resistance levels closely, as well as any macro developments that could reinforce or challenge this upward trajectory.
Gold (XAU/USD) 4H Technical Outlook-17 June 2025Gold’s 4-hour chart shows a clear uptrend: price is making higher highs and higher lows, trading above key moving averages and an upward trendline
Analyst ManiMarkets notes “a remarkably robust and sustained uptrend… printing higher highs and higher lows” since late 2024. The nearest major hurdle is around the $3,500 all-time high.
The current structure remains bullish: we have not seen a sustained break of the uptrend, so the overall bias is bullish. In Smart-Money terms, recent price action shows no bearish break of structure on 4H (no BOS), and price is simply consolidating near highs – a bullish sign.
Key zones to watch:
Demand/Order Block (~$3,374–3,380): Around $3,375 is a swing-low and past demand area. It lines up with the 4H EMA50 and 1H EMA200, a classical support confluence.
A strong bullish “order block” (heavy buying zone) sits here – a typical smart-money support area.
Pivot Point (~$3,389): Using the classic pivot formula
On the recent 4H range gives Pivot ≈ 3,389. This acts as a short-term balance point.
Resistance (≈$3,400–3,405): Gold has multiple prior highs around $3,400–3,405 (e.g. the overnight high ~$3,405 and the last swing high ~$3,405) which have been repeatedly tested. Traders are watching a break above ~$3,405 for follow-through. (A recent idea noted gold “bounced off support” near $3,390 and is “looking for a clean sweep of the highs at 3405”.)
Major Resistance ($3,500): The all-time peak around $3,500 is a big psychological barrier.
We expect stiff supply if price approaches 3,500.
Using these levels, the pivot-based support and resistance on the 4H chart are:
Pivot Point: ~$3,389
R1: ~$3,406 (Pivot + 1×range)
R2: ~$3,421 (Pivot + 2×range)
R3: ~$3,437 (Pivot + 3×range)
S1: ~$3,374 (Pivot – 1×range)
S2: ~$3,357 (Pivot – 2×range)
S3: ~$3,342 (Pivot – 3×range)
(These are rough levels using the standard formula on the last 4H high/low.)
Beyond numbers, price-action is key: we look for bullish patterns at support (e.g. bull-engulfing or pin-bar at ~$3,375–3,380) and cautious action near resistance. A brief “liquidity grab” happened at the $3,375 area recently (price wiggled below and then shot back up), which in Smart-Money jargon sweeps stops.
That suggests larger players may have been absorbing buying interest. In short, the tape looks healthy for bulls unless $3,375 breaks decisively. A break of the $3,400–3,405 highs would be a bullish BOS (break of structure), targeting the next supply zone.
Trade Setups (1H, Aligned with Bullish Bias)
Below are three high-probability long setups on the 1-hour chart (in line with the 4H uptrend).
Each is sized for a ~$10 stop from the entry zone.
Buy near $3,374–3,380 (Demand Zone):
Entry: $3,374–3,380 area (around Pivot S1 and the recent swing low).
Direction: Buy.
Stop: ~$3,364 (just below this zone, ~$10 lower).
Targets: ~$3,402 (near Pivot R1/previous high), and then ~$3,420 (around next resistance).
Reason: This zone is a confluence of support – it was a recent 4H low and aligns with EMAs (1H EMA200/4H EMA50)
It acts like a “bull order block” where buyers stepped in
A strong bounce from here keeps the bullish structure intact.
Trigger: Look for a bullish reversal candle on 1H (e.g. an engulfing or pin-bar) forming near $3,375. This confirms rejection of lower prices and signals a buy setup.
Chart: Example 1H gold chart. Blue shaded area marks the ~$3,374–3,380 buy zone (Pivot S1/EMA support). A bullish reversal candle here would trigger a long entry, targeting $3,402 then $3,420.
Buy break-&-retest at ~$3,402–3,408:
Entry: After a close above ~$3,405, look to buy on a pullback into $3,402–3,408 (just above the old high).
Direction: Buy.
Stop: ~$3,392 (about $10 below the entry zone).
Targets: ~$3,430 (next swing high) and ~$3,450 (round level/upper channel).
Reason: A decisive move above ~$3,405 would mark a BOS (break of the prior high), shifting structure higher. That resistance then becomes support on a retest. This is a classic “breakout retest” entry. (As noted, highs around 3,405 have been tested repeatedly, so breaking them signals strength.)
Trigger: Wait for a 1H candlestick to close firmly above 3,405, then buy on the next pullback into the $3,402–3,408 range with a bullish candle or dip-buy signal.
Buy on pullback to ~$3,385–3,390 (minor higher low):
Entry: $3,385–3,390 if price dips but holds above the 4H pivot (~3,389).
Direction: Buy.
Stop: ~$3,375 (below the entry zone, about $10 down).
Targets: ~$3,420 and ~$3,450 (same as above levels).
Reason: If the market skips Setup 1 and 2, any 1H pullback that still holds above the pivot (creating a higher-low) is another opportunity. Buying this higher-low keeps us aligned with the 4H uptrend. Essentially, we allow price to re-test the pivot area as new demand.
Trigger: A bullish reversal pattern on 1H in the $3,385–3,390 area (for example, a hammer or bullish engulfing) would mark a higher-low and signal a long entry.
Each setup has a tight stop (~$10) just beyond the support zone, and logical profit targets at nearby resistance levels. All assume the 4H trend stays intact. If support fails (e.g. a clean break under $3,374), be ready to reassess.
Takeaway: Gold’s 4H trend is bullish, so focus on buying dips into identified support zones (not shorting). Use tight stops beyond those zones and aim for the next resistance. In practice, that means looking to go long around ~$3,375–3,380 and ~$3,405 (on a clean breakout), riding any bullish continuation toward $3,430–$3,450, while managing risk at each step.
Gold is Nesting... Have updated the counts since my last post.
I believe we have a series of ones and twos since the 15th May low...
Once we start moving into the third of the third of the third, US Indices will commence either a correction or another bearish leg.

Silver H1 | Rising into a swing-high resistanceSilver (XAG/USD) is rising towards a swing-high resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 36.50 which is a swing-high resistance.
Stop loss is at 36.70 which is a level that sits above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement and a swing-high resistance.
Take profit is at 36.06 which is a multi-swing-low support that aligns closely with the 50% Fibonacci retracement.

GoldFxMinds Sniper Plan — June 17, 2025 🚀 GoldMinds Battle Plan Loaded — June 17, 2025
Good morning GoldMinds 👋
The market is again building perfect traps after CPI & PPI whipped both sides last week. Liquidity is stacking and volatility is hiding behind a quiet news calendar — exactly when the market loves to attack both sides. We stay patient, sniper-style.
🌎 Macro & Sentiment:
No major data today, but liquidity still reacts after last week’s CPI & FOMC tone.
DXY remains stable — gold remains capped inside premium supply zones.
The real game now is liquidity manipulation — we focus on clean execution.
🔬 Structure & Bias:
✅ D1: Liquidity sweep above 3450 — sellers protecting premium.
✅ H4: Lower high distribution forming.
✅ H1: Bearish order flow starting to control.
✅ EMAs 5/21/50: compressed bearish.
✅ RSI: showing divergence on intraday.
Bias: Tactical Bearish — under 3460 we remain sellers on sweeps. Liquidity hunts both ways but premium remains the trap zone.
🎯 Sniper Zones
🔻 SELL ZONES:
3405 – 3410 → early pullback rejection zone
3435 – 3445 → main OB liquidity sweep
3452 – 3460 → extreme premium trap zone
🔻 BUY ZONES:
3365 – 3380 → golden zone buy (perfect fibo confluence)
3335 – 3345 → deep flush exhaustion buy
🔄 Tactical Scenarios
Sell spikes into premium → M15 rejection → target 3380 first.
If flushed into golden zone → watch M15 confirmation → target 3405.
If deep flush into 3335 → exhaustion buy setups only.
💡 Tactical Notes
No chasing — liquidity first, reaction second.
News absence = perfect condition for engineered liquidity sweeps.
Stay sniper. Only act when structure confirms.

GOLD → Hunting for liquidity before continued growthFX:XAUUSD has been correcting since the start of the session. The fundamental background is complicated due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
The price of gold briefly retreated from a two-month high above $3,450 amid a recovery in the dollar and investor caution. Escalating tensions between Israel and Iran are dampening risk appetite, while markets await decisions from the Fed and the Bank of Japan. Expectations of a dovish Fed continue to support interest in gold, but fresh impetus is needed for further gains.
Technically, the market is bullish. Gold is forming a correction to the key support and liquidity zone amid an uptrend. The price is within the range, and a retest of 3400 could trigger growth.
Support levels: 3408, 3400
Resistance levels: 3446, 3500
A retest of support and liquidity capture amid the current challenging situation (high interest in the metal) and a bullish trend could support the price, allowing gold to continue its growth.
Best regards, R. Linda!
Gold Cooling After Spike – $3375 Key Level to WatchBy analyzing the gold chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we can see that after surging to $3450 amid the Iran–Israel conflict, gold faced a pullback following a liquidity sweep above that level.
Currently, gold is trading around $3392, and after a potential correction down to $3375, I expect to see further upside movement.
⚠️ Stay cautious — gold remains highly volatile and sudden moves are likely!
