XAUUSD FULL DAILY OUTLOOK — 16 JUNE 2025👋 Hello traders, welcome to a key week for gold.
The bullish expansion continues to unfold cleanly, following weeks of calculated breakout sequences.
After liquidating major liquidity pockets below 3120 earlier this year, gold shifted into controlled higher timeframe expansion.
The breakout above May’s consolidation confirms full bullish structure control. However, we are now entering premium exhaustion territory, where liquidity traps become increasingly dangerous for emotional traders.
This is where most fail — chasing late breakouts — but we stay patient and execute only inside clean zones.
🔎 STRUCTURE PROGRESSION
✅ Weekly BOS fully confirmed → higher timeframe bullish structure intact.
✅ Daily has printed higher lows at 3120 → 3246, leading to the recent higher high at 3448.
✅ Price is now extended into premium expansion.
✅ EMA 5/21/50 fully locked bullish — trend continuation bias.
✅ RSI remains firm but near extended levels.
✅ Fibonacci extensions above are now fully in play.
🎯 DAILY BIAS — 16 JUNE 2025
Primary bias remains bullish as long as price holds above 3355 structure.
Price sits inside premium expansion, where liquidity traps may unfold near 3448–3505.
Controlled pullbacks into 3405–3385 remain healthy for continuation, while deeper dips into 3325 open better risk-reward positioning.
Bullish continuation remains the base case, but aggressive premium sweeps before FOMC remain highly probable.
🔼 DAILY SUPPLY ZONES
Price Zone Context
3448 – 3460 Breakout premium supply (first liquidity trap zone)
3500 – 3505 1.272 Fibonacci extension — major liquidity pocket
3570 – 3575 1.618 Fibonacci extension — exhaustion premium trap
🔽 DAILY DEMAND ZONES
Price Zone Context
3405 – 3385 Shallow pullback liquidity zone
3355 – 3325 Main Daily OB demand — structure protection
3290 – 3255 Deep flush zone — extreme HL recalibration zone
⚠ THE BATTLE THIS WEEK
✅ Price may attempt premium sweeps above 3448 → 3505 before any deeper correction.
✅ Below 3385 lies the first reactive zone for controlled pullbacks.
✅ FOMC remains the dominant macro driver — liquidity will likely front-run into Wednesday.
✅ Patience is key — the market may trigger both traps before any clear directional expansion unfolds.
🔐 Mindset Reminder:
In premium we don't chase — we wait for the market to exhaust liquidity and show real intent.
Our job is not to predict reversals, but to execute once liquidity confirms displacement.

We trade clean. We execute precise.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Jun 16 - Jun 20]The unrest in the Middle East this week has boosted safe-haven demand for gold, pushing it above $3,400 an ounce.
While gold has broken several recent technical resistance levels, it is unlikely that it will hit a new record high next week. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran provides safe-haven support, but historically, gold rallies driven by geopolitical events tend to be short-lived.
Gold is currently outperforming the US dollar, which has struggled to attract safe-haven funds.
Iran launched a retaliatory airstrike on Israel on Friday night (June 13), Reuters reported. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel and authorities urged residents to take shelter in shelters.
The Israeli military said Iran fired nearly 100 missiles, most of which were intercepted or missed their targets.
Israel's Channel 12 reported two people were seriously injured, eight were moderately injured and 34 suffered shrapnel injuries.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had carried out military operations against dozens of targets in Israel.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards' news website released a message that evening saying the "powerful and precise" counterattack was in retaliation for Israel's "invasion" of many parts of Iran and the killing of many senior military commanders, nuclear experts and Iranian civilians, including children.
Wider Middle East Conflict Could Erupt
Israel destroyed Tehran's military command system early Friday and struck key Iranian nuclear facilities. The Fars news agency, which is affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guards, cited data saying the Israeli attack killed dozens of people in Iran and wounded more than 300.
Israel has carried out large-scale airstrikes on multiple locations in Iran since early Friday, bombing Iranian nuclear facilities and military targets.
Reuters said Israel's attacks on Iran during the day and Iran's retaliation have raised concerns about a broader conflict in the region.
All Eyes on the Fed
While gold will continue to be affected by geopolitical developments, market attention will also be on the Federal Reserve, particularly Chairman Powell, who will speak after next week’s monetary policy meeting.
Economists generally expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged. However, expectations are growing that Powell could begin paving the way for a rate cut later this year.
The latest inflation data and signs of a slowing US economy have given the Federal Reserve room to cut rates. However, growing geopolitical uncertainty may prompt some market participants to adjust their expectations.
Overall assessment of the basic environment
The gold market in particular will still receive absolute support when there are too many risks appearing, from geopolitical developments to interest rate prospects, and tariffs. Major conflicts in the Middle East, Russia - Ukraine, trade war between the US and the rest of the world, ... are all sudden risk support that makes gold likely to surge in the short term. Therefore, in general vision, gold is considered the top safe-haven asset in the global unstable environment and it tends to increase in price in the current context.
Economic Data to Watch Next Week
Monday: State Manufacturing Survey, Bank of Japan Monetary Policy Meeting
Tuesday: US Retail Sales
Wednesday: US Weekly Jobless Claims, US Housing Starts, Federal Reserve Monetary Policy Meeting
Thursday: US Markets Closed for Black Lives Matter Day, Swiss National Bank Monetary Policy Meeting, Bank of England Monetary Policy Meeting
Friday: Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold has almost achieved all the bullish targets noted by readers in last week's weekly issue, initially at $3,371, then at the full price point and finally at $3,435. Gold can still continue to increase in price as technical conditions still absolutely support the short-term trend channel, while the long-term trend channel and the nearest support is the EMA21.
In terms of momentum, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sloping up after receiving support from 50 and is still far from overbought territory, indicating that there is still a lot of room for upside ahead.
To sum up, as long as gold remains within/above the price channel, it remains bullish in the short term. Any dips that do not break below the price channel should only be considered as short-term corrections or a new buying opportunity.
Finally, the notable positions will be listed as follows.
Support: 3,400 – 3,371 USD
Resistance: 3,435 – 3,500 USD
SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3497 - 3495⚡️

Gold Technical & Fundamental Outlook for Next WeekIn this video, I break down the recent surge in gold prices, what drove the momentum, including rising tensions between Israel and Iran, and the impact of weaker U.S. inflation data that’s pushing Fed rate cut expectations.
Gold is now sitting just below the all-time high of around $3,500. With major U.S. economic events like Retail Sales and the Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision coming up, this is a key moment for us to prepare.
💥 Will we see a breakout above resistance, or is a healthy dip on the cards before the next move? I’ll walk you through the key levels, the market psychology, and how I’m planning my trades this week.

Gold: surged amid Middle East unrestThe newly emerged Middle East tensions pushed investors back into gold, as a safe-haven asset. The price of gold started the previous week in a relatively calm mood, however, the geopolitical tensions pushed the price of gold toward new highs, reaching the level of $3.443 shortly on Friday trading session, however, is ending the week modestly lower, at $3.432. The all time highest level stays close to current levels at $3.497, reached April 22nd this year. Analysts from Goldman Sachs revised their forecast for the price of gold to $3.700 at the end of this year, and $4K for the next year. The rationale for a revision was a strong demand for gold coming from central banks.
The RSI took the uptrend during the week, ending it at the level of 61 on Friday. At this moment on charts, it seems like investors are eyeing the overbought market side for one more time. The MA50 continues to be the supporting line for the price of gold. Both MA50 and MA200 continue to move as two parallel lines with an uptrend, without an indication that the course might be changed anytime soon.
As long as geopolitical tensions are making investors unrest, the price of gold will head toward the upside. The uncertainty is driving the demand for safe-haven assets. However, charts are pointing to the possibility of a short term reversal for the price of gold. It should not expect some significant reversal, but rather till the level of $3.380. Also, the current level at $3.430 is the one to watch, considering that the same highs gold reached at the beginning of May and around 20th of April this year. In case that current level is pushed toward the upside, then it should be expected that the price of gold will reach a new all time highest level in the coming period. It should also be considered that the FOMC meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, next week, which might imply some higher volatility. It is not expected that the Fed will cut interest rates, but investors are set to hear the Feds view on macroeconomic projections.
XAUUSD - Emotional Scalping on Gold Leads to Blown Accounts📔 “I’ll just scalp Gold on the 1-minute” — said the future blown account
Gold doesn’t care about your emotions.
It doesn’t care that you think you can catch a move before it happens.
And it definitely doesn’t care about your $50 dream from a 20-pip scalp.
Real Gold traders don’t come for 20 pips.
They come for precision, for structure, and for 80–100 pip setups backed by real confluence.
If you’re pressing buttons on the 1-minute because you “feel it,”
you’re not trading Gold — you’re feeding it.
And it will eat you alive.
⭐1. Gold is Not a Currency Pair — It’s a Metal with a Temper
You’re not trading EURUSD.
You’re trading a metal — one of the most reactive and manipulated instruments in the market.
Gold doesn’t respond like a normal pair.
It reacts like a sensor. A trigger.
🔸 Geopolitical tension? It spikes.
🔸 USD news? CPI, NFP, FOMC — massive moves.
🔸 Imbalances and inducement zones? It respects them with surgical precision.
🔸 Thin liquidity or Asian session? Expect the unexpected.
Last night, due to a political situation Gold didn’t hesitate.
It exploded — hundreds of pips — while other pairs just twitched.
And here’s the truth:
🔱 Gold is the most loved asset on the planet.
• It’s wealth.
• It’s power.
• It’s culture.
• It’s fear and greed — in physical form.
That’s why it dominates the market.
That’s why it’s unpredictable.
And that’s why you need to approach it with respect — not emotion.
⏱️ 2. The 1-Minute Trap: Why You’re Always Late
On M1, there is no structure — only speed.
By the time you “see a pattern,” you’re already the exit liquidity.
Order blocks? FVGs? Choch?BOS?
They’re there… but barely readable in real time unless you’re hyper-trained.
You’re not early.
You’re late — many, many times.
And Gold punishes late entries without mercy.
So what should you do instead?
🧭 Zoom out. Reset. Re-anchor.
Start with D1-H12-H4-H1. Mark the structure.
Drop to M30/15/5 to refine your zones.
Then — and only then — use M1 as a trigger, not a chart to trade blindly on.
M1 is for confirmation — not discovery.
It shows behavior, not bias.
And if you treat it like a full chart, it will bury your account one candle at a time.
🤓3. If You're New — Respect the Timeframes
If you’ve been trading Gold for less than 6 months,
you don’t need more entries. You need more patience.
Work with:
✅ 1H
✅ 30m
✅ 15m
That’s where the story unfolds — clean, structured, readable.
Yes, study the lower timeframes.
Flip through M1, M3, M5, M7, M10…
Zoom in, zoom out. Train your eye.
And slowly, you’ll start to recognize the way Gold breathes — how it baits, spikes, pauses, and traps.
But execution?
Execution stays clean, until your structure reads faster than your fear.
🚨4. Gold Doesn’t Just Move Fast — It Gets You Hooked
Gold isn’t just volatile — it’s addictive.
You win once… you feel unstoppable.
Twice… now you think you’re the chosen winner.
And just like that, you’re hooked.
You start ignoring your loss, because those two wins gave you more dopamine than a full week of consistency.
You don’t even notice you’re in a loop:
→ Two wins
→ Five losses
→ One clean trade
→ Three more losses
→ Still confident… because of one high
You’re not trading structure.
You’re chasing a chemical high — and Gold is your dealer.
That’s why M1 destroys accounts.
Because the more you “almost catch it,” the more obsessed you get.
You don’t need a new setup.
You need to break the loop.
Walk away, breathe, come back and trade less.
😶🌫️ 5. If Your Mind is Not Calm — Stay Off the Chart
Gold will test your technicals — but it’ll destroy your psychology if you’re not stable.
Had a bad day at work? Argued with someone? Feeling off?
Do. Not. Trade. Gold!!
This metal feeds on instability.
It senses when you’re not focused.
And it will punish you faster than you can say “SL hit.”
💬 “You trade what you feel. So if you’re a mess inside, your chart becomes chaos too.”
🔚 Bottom Line: You Don’t Need More Trades. You Need Better Vision.
Scalping Gold on M1 sounds smart.
Feels efficient. Looks exciting.
Until you’re left with a blown account and a broken mindset.
🫶 Want to stop gambling and start dominating?
Start with patience. Stick to timeframes. Learn the rhythm.
Gold is not for the impulsive — it’s for the precise.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Quick update following on from yesterday’s post.
As expected, we got the push up after the EMA5 cross and lock above 3318, but price just fell short of our bullish target at 3352, leaving it open. This level now acts as a magnet, with price currently playing between 3318 and 3352, creating a tight range.
We're watching closely for tests on both 3318 and 3352, with direction confirmed only by EMA5 cross and lock. The gap to 3352 still remains, so any bullish momentum should aim to fill this cleanly.
Until one of these levels breaks with confirmation, we’ll likely continue seeing choppy movement in this range. We’ll keep using dips into support for intraday buys, targeting our usual 20–40 pip bounce trades as structure allows.
Once again, thank you all for your ongoing support and engagement, we’ll continue to keep you updated throughout the week, as price unfolds and setups confirm.
Mr Gold

XAUUSD Strong break-out ahead to $3700.Gold (XAUUSD) is trading within a Channel Up, while being supported by the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). This is similar to the December 19 2024 - January 30 2025 Channel Up, which when it broke above the previous Higher High Resistance, it rose straight to the 1.618 Fibonacci extension.
As a result, as long as the 1D MA50 supports, we are looking for a medium-term bullish break-out, possible by the end of July, targeting at least 3700.

Can gold price maintain the uptrend above 3400?⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold prices advanced by approximately 0.97% on Wednesday, buoyed by signs of easing inflation in the United States (US), which reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) could resume rate cuts as early as September. At the time of writing, XAU/USD is trading around $3,363.
The May Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows a slowdown in price pressures compared to April, prompting a surge in demand for the yellow metal. In response, gold briefly rallied to an intraday high near $3,360 before paring back some of those gains, as investors recalibrated their outlook on the Fed’s policy path.

Fomo is bullish, gold could hit 3480⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold prices extended their rally for a second consecutive session on the back of weaker-than-expected inflation and labor market data in the United States (US), with XAU/USD climbing to $3,386—just below the key $3,400 threshold—amid mounting geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The overall market sentiment remains buoyant, fueled by consecutive soft US inflation prints that have amplified pressure on the Federal Reserve (Fed) to begin easing monetary policy. Meanwhile, signs of fragility in the labor market persist, as jobless claims exceeded 240,000 for the second week in a row, underscoring concerns about the broader economic outlook and lending further support to the safe-haven appeal of gold.

Opportunity for gold price to return to ATH: 3500✍️ NOVA hello everyone, Let's comment on gold price next week from 06/16/2025 - 06/20/2025
⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION:
Gold prices surged for a third straight session on Friday as geopolitical tensions flared following Israel’s military strikes on Iranian targets, including nuclear facilities and key leadership. The escalation sparked a broad risk-off move across global markets, fueling demand for safe-haven assets. At the time of writing, XAU/USD trades at $3,422, marking a gain of over 1% on the day.
The yellow metal briefly soared to a five-week high of $3,446 before paring gains, as traders took profits ahead of the weekend. The geopolitical unrest, combined with dovish signals from recent US inflation data, has reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve could begin cutting interest rates later this year—despite improving consumer sentiment. Together, these dynamics continue to support the bullish momentum in gold.
⭐️Personal comments NOVA:
Military tensions continue next week, which is a big boost for gold prices to continue rising above 3500.
🔥 Technically:
Based on the resistance and support areas of the gold price according to the H4 frame, NOVA identifies the important key areas as follows:
Resistance: $3488, $3502, $3562
Support: $3382, $3342

GOLD Eyes New Highs Amid Geopolitical Risk and Bullish StructureGOLD – Safe-Haven Demand Lifts Gold, Eyes on New Highs if Tensions Escalate
Gold futures pared some gains after approaching fresh record highs earlier in the session. The metal rallied strongly on Friday as escalating Middle East tensions — particularly between Israel and Iran — drove investors toward safe-haven assets.
Analysts note that if the conflict intensifies further in the coming days, new highs could be within reach for gold.
Technical Outlook:
A short-term correction toward 3404 or 3390 is likely. However, as long as the price holds above this support zone, the bullish trend is expected to continue toward 3448, with potential to reach 3486.
For a bearish shift, the price must break below the 3391–3381 area with at least a confirmed 1H close, which would open the path toward 3347.
Key Levels:
• Resistance: 3431, 3449, 3486
• Support: 3404, 3391, 3381
GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Great start tot he week with our chart idea playing out, as analysed.
We started today with our bullish target at 3318 hit, followed with ema5 cross and lock opening 3352. Rejection here will see lower open Goldturns tested for support and bounce and further cross and locks will confirm a continuation.
We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

GOLD | Bullish Momentum Holds Above 3376, Eyes on 3404 and 3431GOLD | OVERVIEW
Gold remains in bullish momentum following the CPI result of 2.4%, which came in below expectations. This increases the likelihood of a rate cut by the Fed, providing strong support for gold.
As long as the price trades above 3376 and 3351, the bullish trend is expected to continue toward 3404. A confirmed stabilization above 3404 could open the path toward 3431.
Bearish Correction till 3376 available.
Pivot: 3376
Resistance Lines: 3404, 3431
Support Lines: 3366, 3347
Quick update: I announced #3,400.80 testAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: "My position: I have waited for Gold to Bottom out near #3,318.80 - #3,322.80 and aggressively Bought the Bottom which delivered spectacular returns (monitoring DX on Selling sequence which added significant Buying pressure). Keep in mind that Gold has #3,400.80 benchmark on the cards now as an decent possibility."
I have announced #3,400.80 benchmark test since #3,350's and even though I expected the upside extension, my Profit margin (over #200k EUR in #3 weeks) was more than enough and I observed Price-action from sidelines.
My position: Gold is Trading on Bullish extension due Middle East crisis escalation. I am looking at my calculated my re-Buy zones to Buy every dip on Gold and continue Scalping (Buy orders only) towards #3,452.80 benchmark potential extension. However if Gold closes the week below #3,400.80 benchmark, Gold will continue ranging and I will alter my perspective (less likely).
GoldMinds Family — Sniper Plan for June 12 👋 Good evening traders!
CPI delivered clean reactions, and now we're stepping into the next setup zone as Core PPI, PPI m/m and Unemployment Claims line up on tomorrow’s calendar. Expect the volatility machine to wake up again.
Gold remains capped inside premium supply while liquidity continues to build on both sides. My plan is simple: execute only when price moves into proper levels — clean, confirmed, and structured.
🔎 Sniper Zones
Sell Zones:
• 3359 – 3375 → H1 premium OB + weak high inducement
• 3387 – 3398 → Extreme premium sweep zone
Buy Zones:
• 3312 – 3300 → H1 demand zone + internal FVG fill
• 3285 – 3272 → Deep flush liquidity zone
Mid Zone:
• 3336 – 3344 → Only valid for quick scalps with clean M5 confirmation
🧭 Bias
Bias remains bearish under 3375, but as always: let liquidity show its hand first.
News triggers liquidity. Liquidity triggers setups. We execute the third move.
🔎 The Battle Plan for Tomorrow
If price moves higher ahead of or after the news, I’m watching my first sell zone between 3359 and 3375. This is where liquidity stacks above recent highs, sitting inside the H1 premium order block and imbalance. Any clean reaction here can offer solid short opportunities.
If volatility drives an even stronger push, I have my second sell zone between 3387 and 3398 — an extreme premium zone where late buyers could get trapped after the news spike completes a full liquidity hunt. This would be my deeper liquidity sweep area.
If sellers take control early and we see a flush down before or after the release, I’ll be focused first on the 3312–3300 zone. This sits inside clean H1 demand, where previous liquidity was already collected. If price drops even further, I’m watching 3285–3272 as the deep liquidity sweep zone — where price may fully clear weaker hands before potential reversal.
Between 3336 and 3344 sits my mid-zone.
This is the area where price may consolidate or chop ahead of news. I avoid entering here unless I see a clean M5 confirmation for a quick scalp. Otherwise, it’s simply no-man’s land.
🎯 My Tactical Approach
If price reaches the sell zones → I wait for strong rejection & structure break on M5/M15 to execute shorts.
If price flushes into the buy zones → I wait for bullish confirmation on M15 to enter long.
Mid-range is ignored unless very clean setups appear on lower timeframe flips.
⚠ News days often start with traps. The first reaction isn’t always the real direction. I stay patient, disciplined, and let liquidity build before executing.

Gold’s uptrend is clear, controlled, and far from overGold remains the centerpiece of bullish momentum, trading within a well-defined ascending channel. Price continues to respect the structure, printing higher highs and higher lows, with no signs of exhaustion thus far.
A key resistance level was recently broken and has now flipped into support. Price is currently retesting this zone — a classic move in trending markets. If this area holds, it would validate the breakout and open the path for a potential move toward $3,460, aligning with the channel’s upper boundary.
As long as price stays above this retested support, the bullish outlook remains intact. A failure to hold, however, would invalidate the setup and shift focus to the lower channel boundary as the next area of interest.
Reminder: Always wait for confirmation before entering and apply strict risk management.
Short gold, it needs to retreat to the area around 3350!Gold is currently testing the support near 3380 again. According to the current trend of gold, gold is likely to break through 3380, and gold has stopped near 3400 many times during the rebound process, and the rebound strength of gold is lacking. If gold really wants to rebound, then after testing near 3380 many times and getting support at 3390, it should have rebounded to the 3410-3420 area, but it is obvious that gold has not yet touched the 3410-3420 area. Therefore, gold's performance is relatively weak and its correction trend should continue for now.
In terms of fundamentals, Iran is not decisive in its retaliatory behavior, so if the conflict in the Middle East does not escalate, gold may find it difficult to continue to rise. So according to the current trend and performance of gold, we should not be stubborn in long gold trading for the time being, and adjust our trading plan reasonably according to the market and price behavior. If gold continues to retreat, the first thing we need to pay attention to below is the 3355-3345 area, followed by the area near 3330. So for the next short-term trading, we can try to short gold in the 3395-3405 area.
Gold Faces Resistance as Israel-Iran Conflict Fails to Fuel RallGold Unlikely to Sustain Long-Term Gains on Israel-Iran Tensions
Despite escalating geopolitical risks, gold’s upside remains limited. Julius Baer's Carsten Menke notes that the recent move is likely driven by short-term speculative and algorithmic flows, not physical safe-haven demand—consistent with historical patterns of brief geopolitical spikes.
Technical Outlook:
Gold is currently trading below 3404, suggesting possible range-bound consolidation between 3404 and 3480.
A 1H close below 3380 could trigger further downside toward 3365 and 3347.
Conversely, a break above 3404 would open the way for a bullish push toward 3448.
Key Levels:
• Pivot: 3381
• Support: / 3365 / 3347 / 3321
• Resistance: 3404/ 3420 / 3448
Excellent last week / more Profits aheadAs discussed throughout my Friday’s session commentary: “ My position: Gold is Trading on Bullish extension due Middle East crisis escalation. I am looking at my calculated my re-Buy zones to Buy every dip on Gold and continue Scalping (Buy orders only) towards #3,452.80 benchmark potential extension. However if Gold closes the week below #3,400.80 benchmark, Gold will continue ranging and I will alter my perspective (less likely).
I have engaged multiple re-Buy Scalp orders on #3,412.80 Bottom and closed them on #3,420.80 and engaged Swing order on #3,423.80 which was closed on #3,4335.80 which finalized last week in excellent way.
Technical analysis: Gold has now completed the Daily chart’s Triangle peak (local High’s) and thus I am expecting a new Bullish direction starting early week’s phase towards #3,452.80 psychological benchmark and #3,500.80 benchmark in extension (needless to mention, fueled by renewed Middle East crisis escalation as an catalyst). Personally I believe it will be a big one on strong Bull Volume once Buying accumulation is done (happening now). Hourly 4 chart is extending strongly Golden Cross formation and points to an Bullish Short to Medium-term Buying sustainability. A green closing on today's session Daily chart’s candle points to Bullish direction / upwards motion in succession. Personally I believe that only if Selling benchmark gets invalidated and Sellers make a break-out to the downside (now at #3,400.80) does the trend resumes its previous Bearish bias. This is total Bullish trend and total Bullish domination.
