Gold Ranges at $3,330–$3,335 – Ready for the Next Move📊 Market Overview:
Gold is currently trading around $3,330–$3,335/oz, supported by a softer US Dollar and cautious sentiment ahead of key US labor data. According to TradingView, gold is consolidating in a tight range, reflecting market indecision while awaiting a clear breakout signal.
📉 Technical Analysis:
• Key resistance: $3,345–3,350 – a strong supply zone that recently rejected price.
• Nearest support: $3,320–3,330 – multiple bounce points observed here.
• EMA09: Price is hovering around the 09 EMA on both 1h–4h timeframes → neutral/slightly ranging.
• Candlestick / Volume / Momentum:
o A “bearish flag” pattern appears to be forming, suggesting potential for a downside breakout.
o Weak buying volume during upward moves signals limited bullish strength.
📌 Outlook:
• Gold may continue to consolidate between $3,330–$3,345.
• A break above $3,345 with strong volume could open the path to $3,360–$3,380.
• A break below $3,330 could lead to further correction toward $3,300–$3,320.

XAUUSD – Trade Projection (Post-London Open)
Current Market Context:
Price is currently oscillating between two Higher Timeframe Price Inefficiency Zones (PIZ), resulting in a neutral bias for initiating new positions.
Anticipated Scenarios & Bias Filters:
If both upper and lower PIZ zones reject price, confirming compression and exhaustion, bias will shift toward a Sell-Side Bias Environment (SBE).
If the lower PIZ acts as support and price trades decisively above the upper PIZ, it strengthens alignment with the HTF Ascend Sequence and confirms a renewed Buy-Side Bias Environment (BBE).
Execution Plan:
Preferred entry confirmation: Momentum Breach Entry (MBE) post-structural resolution from the PIZ boundaries, in line with breakout momentum.
Summary :
Neutral bias in the interim; awaiting directional clarity from PIZ reactions. Prepared to align with the first strong rejection-confirmation sequence and respond with momentum-based entry.

Don’t chase shorts when gold is at a low level, wait for a rebou
From the 4-hour analysis, today's upper short-term resistance focuses on the hourly top and bottom conversion position near 3318-24. The intraday rebound relies on this position to go short once and look down. The lower short-term support focuses on the vicinity of 3280. The overall support relies on the 3280-3325 area to maintain the main tone of high-altitude low-multiple cycles. In the middle position, watch more and move less, and follow orders cautiously, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market.
Gold operation strategy:
Gold 3285-3287 line long, stop loss 3277, target 3315-23 line, break and continue to hold
Gold Trapping both Buyers and Seller
Gold Trapping Both buyer and sellers . As i mentioned yesterday this is the sign of early consolidation on daily Time frame. Not perfectly rejecting & respecting both Bullish and Bearish Arrays. Stay out of gold till either side of clear price action. Above bearish Rejection or Below Bullish Rejection is the perfect area to ride on trade.
Gold Trading Strategy | July 7-8✅ Key Resistance Zone: $3340–$3345
🔴 Daily Resistance: $3345 is the neckline of a typical “M-top” pattern. On July 7, gold prices surged to $3342 before quickly retreating, indicating strong selling pressure at this level. A valid breakout has not yet occurred.
🔴 4H Chart Resistance Band: The $3338–$3340 zone overlaps with both the 20-day and 60-day moving averages, forming a confluence with the daily resistance. This creates a key short-term ceiling, and unless it's broken, further upside will likely be capped.
✅ Key Support Zone: $3300–$3310
🟢 Weekly Pivot Zone: $3311 is a medium-term pivot level. A daily or weekly close below this level could confirm the start of a broader downward trend.
🟢 Psychological Support: $3300 is a major round-number support and also represents the average cost basis for many short-term long positions. On July 7, the price rebounded after touching a low of $3306, showing that buyers are still active around this level.
🟢 Major Support Band: The $3290–$3295 zone includes the 60-day moving average and previous horizontal support. A breakdown here could trigger technical selling, opening the path toward $3280–$3260.
✅ Trading Strategy
🔰 Break above $3345: Go long, target $3365–$3370, stop loss at $3330.
🔰 Break below $3295: Go short, target $3280–$3260, stop loss at $3310.
🔰 If price stays in $3300–$3340 range: Focus on selling at highs and buying at lows. Favor short-side setups unless resistance is broken. Stop loss at $3350.
✅ Gold remains within a $3300–$3340 trading range, with a short-term technical consolidation pattern. A breakout could be triggered by upcoming policy headlines or geopolitical events (e.g., trade negotiations).
✅ Suggested approach: Use a “light position + key-level stop-loss” strategy. Watch for a breakout above $3345 or a breakdown below $3295 to shift from range trading to trend-following.
✅ Bias remains bearish unless the $3345 resistance is convincingly broken. Until then, rebounds are likely to be short-lived technical corrections—prefer to sell into strength.

Gold topped...GM gents, it seems OANDA:XAUUSD will reverse the advance here, a weekly timeframe down trend has fired just now. It's either the start of a correction or a reversal of the huge trend it had since Oct 2023.

🔍 Key Supply & POI Zones
📌 3345–3346:
→ Strong supply zone
→ If price breaks above, we expect a new higher high

Gold continues to short
Life is like a thread. As long as today continues and as long as there is hope for tomorrow, we will always be at the starting point and on the road to running. Don't be afraid of the long road, don't complain about the lack of scenery on the roadside, don't despair at any time, just keep running, the bumps under your feet are the cornerstones of our life, and perhaps the turning point is just around the next corner!
Gold, on the eve of the US market yesterday, the shorts repeatedly touched the lower support of 3282, but ultimately lacked the momentum to make a final push, which led to a reverse reversal in the US market and a continuous rebound effect. As of the morning of the day, the highest reached near 3326, and the daily line also closed at the bald small positive line of the lower lead. The current upper pressure is maintained at the previous 3330 line. This position will also be related to the continuity of the long and short positions in the later period, and the highest in the morning will also be maintained near this position. For the European market, this position is even more important. Once it continues to break through, the US market will likely continue to rise, and it can also be used as the position of the long and short watershed in the short term, and the recent trend continuity is extremely high. , most of them are maintained in the range of shock operation, and the support below will be maintained at 3310, which is also the key defensive point of the European session. Although the daily line is currently closed at a small positive line, it is still obviously insufficient in power, and the multi-hour line is also maintained in the downward channel without a breakthrough. In the short term, it is still in a bearish situation overall. If there is no breakthrough for a long time, it may continue to fall in the later period. If gold rebounds near the morning high, it can continue to short. If the European session breaks through strongly, it needs to adjust its direction before the US session. If gold rebounds near 3325-26, it can be shorted. The target is around 3310-00, and the loss is 3335!
Gold rebounds near 3325-26 during the day, and the target is around 3310-00, and the loss is 3335.
Gold prices converge, 3300-3330 range breaks?Gold prices converge, 3300-3330 range breaks?
The following current events may become catalysts for gold price changes:
Trump announced on social media that August 1 is the deadline for "reciprocal tariffs" and mentioned that he plans to impose a 200% tariff on medicines and a 50% additional tax on copper.
The market quickly digested the expectation of escalating trade conflicts.
The market expects that Trump may threaten to increase tariffs to force other countries to make concessions, but may eventually extend the deadline.
If the breakdown of negotiations triggers risk aversion, gold prices may hit $3,400; if a small agreement is reached, gold prices may fall back to $3,300.
Focus:
July 11 US CPI data: will verify inflation stickiness and affect the direction of real interest rates.
If CPI is lower than 2.8%, it may strengthen expectations of interest rate cuts and boost gold prices; if it is higher than 3.0%, it may suppress gold performance.
Fed policy signal: The minutes of the June FOMC meeting released on July 11 may provide more details about the internal differences in the interest rate decision.
In addition, Powell's recent statement shows that he is cautious about interest rate cuts. If this position continues, gold prices may temporarily fall into a volatile pattern.
Optimistic scenario (probability 30%): The United States and Japan reach a small agreement, and the price of gold falls back to $3,300;
Pessimistic scenario (probability 50%): The breakdown of negotiations triggers risk aversion, and the price of gold hits $3,400;
Extreme scenario (probability 20%): Trump restarts tariffs on China, triggering the price of gold to hit the previous high of $3,450.
Technical analysis:
As shown in the figure: 4-hour cycle
Gold prices converge, range oscillation: 3,300-3,330
This range will determine the direction of the next trend of gold prices.
As the oscillation space becomes narrower and narrower, it is expected that a new round of market will break out today or at the latest this Friday.
The author believes that if the bullish tone of the macro trend remains unchanged, the price of gold may still break upward.
There is a high probability that the high of $3,400 will be hit again this week.
Of course, we must respect all possible scenarios.
Intraday trading strategy:
Long strategy:
Buy: 3310-3315
Stop loss: 3295
Target: 3330-3350-3400
Short strategy:
Sell: 3325-3330
Stop loss: 3335
Target: 3315-3310-3300-3285-3250
The market is currently volatile, but the focus of gold price trading is on trends rather than prices. When emotions strike, the direction of making money is the key.
GOLD PULLS BACK TO TREND LINE AND RE-ENTERS BUY ZONE!Hey Traders so looking at Gold right now seems like we are consolidating at 3310 looking for direction. However I think the trend is still up because if you look close at support levels 3240 it has rejected that level twice.
Of course markets can flip on a dime when something unpredictable happens in this tariff driven environment so we still need to be cautious.
Seasonally Gold Rises in the Summer from a historical standpoint. But watch out to see what happens at todays FED meeting.
So if your Bullish this is the place to buy cautiously consider small position on an aggressive entry and put stop below 3230 which looks like it could be good level.
Or if conservative wait until after FED meeting to see how market reacts off this level and they buy again on a pullback if market reacts positive.
However if Bearish I would wait for a daily close and break below 3215 or 3200 before considering selling.
Good Luck & Always use Risk Management!
