Gold Continues Mild Uptrend – Watching for Reaction at $3351📊 Market Overview:
Gold maintained its bullish momentum during the Asian–European session, rising from $3330 to $3344. A slightly weaker USD and safe-haven demand supported prices. However, price is now approaching a key resistance zone, where technical rejection may occur in the U.S. session.

• Nearest support: $3335 – $3332
• Stronger support (lower zone): $3322 – $3315

The Myth of Gold Reversals – Why Traders Keep Catching the KnifeGold is a master of deception.
It shows a clean wick into a zone, but reacts just enough to pull in early buyers or sellers — then rips straight through their stops like they weren’t even there.
The reversal looked real and the candles seemed perfect.
But the move? It was never meant for them.
This isn’t bad luck, but traders who survive aren’t trying to guess, they are the ones reading the reaction after the trap.
Let’s break down how these traps happen — and how Smart Money actually operates when XAUUSD is loading a real move.
🟥 Sell Trap – The "Instant Short" Mistake
Price pushes up into a clear reaction zone — maybe an OB, maybe an imbalance, a FVG, or a gap.
Structure looks stretched. Traders recognize a premium zone and decide it’s time to short.
The trap? Jumping in immediately on the touch, with no confirmation.
This is where Gold loves to trap sellers.
No M15 CHoCH/ BOS on M5 or real liquidity swept. Just a blind move and hope.
Price often pulls slightly higher — sweeping internal liquidity, triggering SLs — then shows a real rejection.
📌 Here’s what needs to happen before selling:
• First: look for a liquidity sweep (equal highs or engineered inducement)
• Then: price must shift — CHoCH or BOS on M15 or M5
• Finally: confirmation via bearish engulf, imbalance fill, or break + retest
• For experts: M1 can offer refined sniper triggers with minimal drawdown
💡 If none of this appears, it’s not a setup — it’s a trap.
🟩 Buy Trap – The "Wick Bounce" Illusion
Price taps a demand zone — again, a refined OB or imbalance, liquidity zone.
A long bullish wick forms. Some candles pause. It looks like a reversal.
But there’s no shift.Just hovering.
Many jump in long the second they see the wick. And then price breaks straight through.
📌 Here’s how to flip this trap into a real buy:
• Let price sweep liquidity below the zone — signs of a purge - true wick bounce
• Watch for a CHoCH or BOS on M15, M5, or even M1
• Look for a strong bullish engulf from the reactive level
• Confirm via imbalance fill or price reclaiming broken structure
📍 If all that happens — the trap becomes your entry.
If not? Stand down.
📊 What Smart Traders Actually Do Differently
They don’t chase wicks.
And never enter just because price tapped a line.
IT IS ALL ABOUT READING STRUCTURE AND PRICE ACTION.
Here’s how:
• Mark the highest probability reaction zones — above and below current price;
• Set alerts, not blind entries;
• Wait for price to come into their zone and then watch what it does there;
• Look for confirmation: CHoCHs, BOS, engulfing candles, FVG fills, clean rejections;
• And always keep one eye on the news — because Gold reacts fast and violently when volatility hits.
• Repeat this work daily until they learn how to recognize signs faster and more secure.
That’s the difference between chasing the reversal… and trading the move after the trap.
Because in this game, patience isn’t just a virtue — it’s survival.
And Gold? Well, XAUUSD has no mercy for those in a hurry and not studying its moves day by day, month after month and so on. Learn structure and price action even if you join any channel for help if you are serious about trading this amazing metal.

XAUUSDXAU/USD represents the exchange rate between one troy ounce of gold (XAU) and the US dollar (USD). It shows how much in US dollars is required to purchase one ounce of gold. This pair is widely traded across forex and commodities markets and is considered a key indicator of global economic stability and investor sentiment.
Historically, gold was pegged to the US dollar under the Bretton Woods Agreement from 1944 to 1971. During this period, one ounce of gold was fixed at $35, and the US government guaranteed the convertibility of dollars into gold. In 1971, President Richard Nixon ended the gold standard, allowing gold to trade freely on global markets. This led to significant volatility in the price of gold, which began to reflect real-time market forces such as supply, demand, inflation, and geopolitical events.
In the decades that followed, gold experienced several major price movements. In 1980, gold surged to around $850 per ounce due to high inflation and geopolitical instability. It then declined and remained relatively low through the 1990s, reaching a low near $270 in 2000. Starting in the mid-2000s, gold began a strong upward trend driven by concerns about inflation, financial crises, and central bank policies, culminating in a peak near $1,920 in 2011 during the Eurozone crisis and Federal Reserve monetary easing.
In 2020, gold hit a new all-time high around $2,070 during the global uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, it has continued to be influenced by economic data, interest rate decisions, inflation trends, and geopolitical developments. In 2024 and 2025, gold has remained strong, supported by central bank buying and expectations of future rate cuts. As of August 2025, the current price of gold has reached $3,363 per ounce, reflecting heightened demand and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
XAU/USD is influenced by many factors, including the strength of the US dollar, inflation expectations, geopolitical risks, and investor demand for safe haven assets. When the dollar weakens or global uncertainty increases, gold typically gains value. Traders and investors often use gold to hedge against economic instability, inflation, or currency devaluation.
Today, gold remains one of the most important assets in global markets, and XAU/USD continues to be a major pair for both short-term traders and long-term investors.
Gold Plan B For 4 Aug onwardsAs you can see that gold is moving good in channel of Bullish so next hurdle can be 3374-3380 and then it can retest the support of Non-Farm 3336-3340 and then continue this channel till further 3452-3458 and then we can expect a big fall in gold and this time support point will be 3290-3300 which will hold gold to go up again.
XAUUSD TRADE UPDATE MISSED TRADE Hey everyone here’s a trade recap of the week at first we were interested to take buys at 3254 zone as first entry and scale in at 3287 zone but price pulled down slightly missed the first entry and I didn’t execute & the second entry didn’t execute that too and market skyrocket if price activated the first entry we would’ve caught a huge trade today,the first one didn’t activated so I didn’t execute the second entry which is the 3287 zone that buyers came in so we move on and I will keep on sharing potential good setups and have a beautiful weekend guys….
Zones for the rest of August (if no ATH)Just simple zones, ignore. I want to compare to the end of the month later.
Keep trading simple. These are the zones I made after drawing from 4H all the way to 5 minute candle for precision. I already have my own speculation but feel free to use it for your own.
Goodbye, trade safe.
Gold Price Target: 3380-3400+, Set a Trailing StopGold Price Target: 3380-3400+, Set a Trailing Stop
As shown in Figure 4h:
Gold finally rallied this weekend.
Despite recent heavy losses for long positions, the past two days have been encouraging.
We ultimately managed to successfully buy the dip in the 3280-3300 range and recover all our losses.
Gold prices continue to rise, and everyone is asking if it's time to sell.
Now is the critical time to exit.
We must acknowledge one fact:
Gold currently presents a huge opportunity.
Of course, the risks are also increasing.
At times like these, I always emphasize that the best approach is to set a 10-point trailing stop.
Even if gold prices soar, we can move with them.
This non-farm payroll data was a huge disappointment.
It was a truly positive surprise for gold.
The market expected 110,000 new jobs, but the result was a disappointing 73,000, a decrease of half from the previous month.
The market went into a tizzy after the outperformance. But even more shocking news is yet to come: Non-farm payrolls for May and June were revised downward by a combined 258,000.
This means the June gain was revised downward from 140,000 to 14,000.
The May gain was abruptly revised downward from 140,000 to 19,000.
The strong data of the past two months was completely false.
Market followers have become the "clowns" of the Fed and Trump.
Now you understand why everyone praised Powell's hawkish speech two days ago.
Because Powell said: "Only if there is a severe decline in employment will we consider cutting interest rates."
Just this Wednesday, some good non-farm payroll data was released.
This undoubtedly gave the market a false impression.
Everyone believed that a rate cut was impossible, and the probability of a September cut had dropped to 40%.
However, today's poor non-farm payroll data, combined with revisions to May and June data, revealed the truth.
The job market has been dismal over the past quarter.
The market reacted quickly, and gold prices soared on this sentiment.
My advice is to buy gold at a low price and hold on.
For investors who have successfully bought in the 3280-3300 level in recent days, I recommend setting a 10-15 pip trailing stop-loss.
Gold prices are likely to continue their upward trend next Monday.
Our next target is above 3380-3400 points.
XAUUSD – Smart Money Sell Setup during New York Session | ICT St
Gold (XAUUSD) has just completed a classic liquidity grab above the London session highs, forming a potential Judas Swing as New York begins.
On the 4H timeframe, we clearly have a bearish BOS (Break of Structure), and price has returned to a Premium zone within a bearish FVG and OB (Order Block).
Today is NFP Friday, and after the Fed kept rates steady mid-week, we’re expecting high volatility.
Current price action has swept the overnight liquidity and is now reacting inside a Repricing Block, aligning perfectly with the NY Midnight Open level.
🎯 My Sell Plan (Live Execution):
Sell Limit: 3306.50
SL: 3317.50 (Above OB high)
TP1: 3281.20
TP2: 3268.50
TP3: 3253.90
🧠 Bias: Bearish
🕒 Session: New York
🧮 ADR: 43 pts
📉 Market Structure: Bearish
This setup follows the ICT methodology using time, liquidity, structure, and displacement.
If we break above 3317.50 with strong displacement, the idea becomes invalid.
Let's see if Smart Money takes it down into Friday’s close.
