Gold vs Bitcoin — Is a Historic Shift Coming ?Hello Traders 🐺 In this idea, I want to take a closer look at the GOLD price — because lately, many people have been asking: "Where is the top?" "Are we still bullish on gold?" And more importantly: "What’s your take on this as both a crypto trader and macro analyst?" So let’s dive in and break it down from both the fundamental and technical perspectives. 🟡 Gold and Its Correlation with Other Assets As you probably know, gold is a safe haven for long-term investors, central banks, and governments. So when inflation rises or when we see money-printing policies to avoid a recession, gold tends to shine — because it’s a classic anti-inflation asset. But here’s the catch: Gold isn’t the only game in town. Other inflation-hedging assets like Bitcoin, stocks, silver, and real estate also compete for capital — so it’s natural to see money rotate between them. 🇺🇸 Trump’s Policy Twist — Gold vs Bitcoin? A few weeks ago, Donald J. Trump hinted that the U.S. might sell part of its gold reserves to buy BTC. Crazy, right? But here’s where the story gets really interesting... If this happens, we could start seeing an inverse relationship between gold and BTC — kind of like the early days of oil vs. gold correlations. Let me break it down. 🤖 BTC vs. Gold — Simple Math, Big Picture Gold’s current market cap is about $22 Trillion — which is almost 20 times larger than BTC’s. Let’s ask a simple question: Do we need another GETTEX:22T to pump gold 100%? 👉 No. Why? Because most gold is held by: Central banks Governments Jewelry industry Only a small percentage is available for trading. So even a tiny reduction in selling pressure = huge impact on price. But here’s the flip side: BTC’s market cap is just $1.7T, and a huge portion is held by: Institutions like BlackRock Whales like Michael Saylor Lost wallets from early adoption So it’s simple: 👉 BTC has way more room to grow, and is easier to store, transfer, and scale. If we enter a new QE cycle, the upside potential for BTC will be far greater than gold — and smart money knows this. 🧠 Technical Analysis (TA) Time On the chart, gold has broken above a rising wedge — which is typically a bearish pattern. So... is this a trap? In my opinion: No. Why? Because if the wedge breakdown were to play out fully, the target would be around $280, which is just laughable 😂 — a 90% crash? Highly unlikely. Instead, here’s the bullish scenario: If gold can hold above the monthly support, we may see a slow, steady rally — not parabolic like crypto, but meaningful. 🎯 Bullish target: $7,760 📉 DXY, Fed Policies & Gold’s Future As I said in my last idea about the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), the dollar is showing weakness, and the Fed might cut rates to avoid a recession. Check the chart I posted here: 👉 DXY Chart Idea : What do we see? A clear double top pattern Breakdown from key support Probable shift to QE mode All of this could ignite a new bull cycle — and yes, gold may benefit... …but don’t forget what I said about Trump. If the U.S. starts selling gold to buy BTC, we might see a short-term correction in gold back to the green support box before the real breakout. So make sure to stay sharp — and as always: 🐺 Discipline is rarely enjoyable, but almost always profitable. 🐺 🐺 KIU_COIN 🐺

GOLD DAILY CHART MID/LONG TERM UPDATEHey Everyone, After completing our last daily chart idea please see update on our new daily chart idea. We have also updated a new Goldturn ascending channel. We are seeing price break out of the channel but will need ema5 to lock outside of the channel to confirm the breakout vs a fakeout. If this happens then the channel top is likely to to form support for a continuation, just like we are seeing the current candles bounce from the channel top, as support. This is the beauty of our Goldturn channels, which we draw in our unique way, using averages rather than price. This enables us to identify fake-outs and breakouts clearly, as minimal noise in the way our channels are drawn. We will use our smaller timeframe analysis on the 1H and 4H chart to buy dips from the weighted Goldturns for 30 to 40 pips clean. Ranging markets are perfectly suited for this type of trading, instead of trying to hold longer positions and getting chopped up in the swings up and down in the 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 using our smaller timeframe ideas. Our long term bias is Bullish and therefore we look forward to drops from rejections, which allows us to continue to use our smaller timeframes to buy dips using our levels and setups. Buying dips allows us to safely manage any swings rather then chasing the bull from the top. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

GOLD Bullish Continuation - Is $3,600 the Next Stop?OANDA:XAUUSD is trading within a well-defined ascending channel, signaling strong bullish momentum. The price has consistently respected the channel boundaries, forming higher highs and higher lows, which aligns with the continuation of the uptrend. It has recently broken above a key resistance zone and is now pulling back for a retest. This area previously acted as resistance and may now serve as support, aligning with a potential bullish continuation. If buyers confirm support at this level, the price is likely to move upward toward the $3,600 level, which aligns with the upper boundary of the channel. This setup reflects the potential for further bullish movement as buyers continue to dominate the market. Traders should monitor for bullish confirmation signals, such as bullish engulfing candles, strong rejection wicks from the support zone, or increased buying volume, before considering long positions.

Hellena | GOLD (4H): SHORT to 38.2%-50% Fibo lvl 3228.Colleagues, last week we got a stoploss, but I still believe that we should expect a correction in wave “2”. We will try to catch this movement this week. I believe that the price will correct to the area of Fibonacci 38.2% - 50% levels (3228.41). Perhaps the price will slightly renew the maximum of wave “1”, reaching the level of 3438. In this case I recommend to work with pending limit sell orders. And some data: The prevalence of bulls according to CME reports additionally increased by 13%. The 23% increase in market volume, meanwhile, indicates a likely strong momentum pattern during the trading week. Despite the 13% increase in buyers, selling patterns towards the balance level of the week (3200.00) are recommended for the current trading week. Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!

Lingrid | GOLD potential Trend Continuation FormationsOANDA:XAUUSD market pulled back as expected and retested 50% of the previous daily range. The market is forming bullish flag pattern or triangle pattern which are both trend continuation formations. If the price breaks above, it may trigger more upward pressure pushing price toward the channel border. Furthermore, on the 4H timeframe a pinbar candlestick pattern was formed suggesting the price may establish new all time highs. Considering that we don't have high impact news today, the price may move sideways closing Friday candle near previous day high. My goal is resistance zone around 3380 Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

GOLD 4H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, Another great day on the markets today. After completing our 1h chart route map yesterday, we moved onto our 4 chart route map. On this chart idea, we got our Bullish target at 3330 hit, followed with candle body close gaps to 3372 and 3414, as ema5 didn't catch up due to momentum. However, the body close breaks on each level still gave us enough time for the confirmation before being hit. We then managed to get ema5 cross and lock above 3414 opening 3457, which was also hit perfectly, completing this target with confirmation. No further lock above 3457 confirmed the rejection. However, we now have a body close above 3457 with a gap to 3503, which just fell short by a few pips. 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 30 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. BULLISH TARGET 3330 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3330 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 3372 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3372 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 3414 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3414 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 3457 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 3457 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 3503 BEARISH TARGETS 3282 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3282 WILL OPEN THE RETRACEMENT RANGE 3224 3190 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 3190 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE SWING RANGE 3131 - 3077 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups.

#XAUUSD :Is it a Correction Or a start of Major Bearish Trend? Gold has plummeted from 3550 to 3270, and it’s been falling steadily. We firmly believe that the price could reverse from either of our entry points, but given its significant drop, it raises concerns among traders. If the trend has shifted to bearish, it will likely continue to target buyers’ stop losses. In these market conditions, we strongly advise trading with utmost caution and prioritising risk management. Good luck and trade safely.

GOLD may enter accumulation when the market lacks impact Spot OANDA:XAUUSD prices were broadly steady in Asian trade on Friday (April 25) after a sharp rise in the previous trading day. The current price of gold is around $3,341/ounce, down from the $3,371 price target that readers noted in yesterday's edition. Spot gold prices jumped on Thursday, snapping a nearly 3% decline the previous day, helped by a weaker US dollar and bargain-hunting as investors kept a close eye on the latest news on tariff negotiations. Market Highlights Gold prices rebounded on Thursday after their biggest drop this year as bargain hunters entered the market, Bloomberg reported. China's official broadcaster CCTV reported Thursday that the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is considering a plan to impose tiered tariffs on China, and White House press secretary Levitt said Trump's stance on tariffs on China "has not softened." "This is all fake news. As far as I know, China and the United States have never consulted or negotiated on tariffs, let alone reached an agreement. This tariff war was initiated by the United States, and China's attitude is consistent and clear: if you want to fight, we will fight to the end; if you want to negotiate, the door is open. Dialogue and negotiation must be equal, respectful and mutually beneficial," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun. Cleveland Fed President Hammack made it clear in an interview on Thursday that the Fed has essentially ruled out a rate cut in May. But she also delivered a key message, saying that if there is clear evidence of the economy’s direction, there will be room for policy action in June. When asked if a rate cut was possible in June, Hammack said: “If we get clear and compelling data in June, then I think the committee will act, assuming we have a clear understanding of the right path for policy at that point.” Markets reacted quickly after Hammack’s remarks, with interest rate swaps indicating the likelihood of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in June rising to around 65%. Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD After achieving the target increase twice, which readers should pay attention to in the previous day's publication at 3,371 USD, the price point of the Fibonacci retracement of 0.236%, the recovery momentum of gold is being controlled and limited. In the short term, gold is likely to enter a sideways accumulation phase, waiting for more fundamental breakthroughs. The expected accumulation area is around 3,371 - 3,292 USD, which are the positions of the Fibonacci retracement of 0.236% and 0.382%. However, with the current position, the main outlook is still bullish in the long term with the trend from the price channel as the main trend and support from the EMA21 as the main support. During the day, the expectation of short-term accumulation in the main uptrend will be noted by the following levels. Support: 3,300 – 3,292 USD Resistance: 3,371 USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3411 - 3409⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3415 →Take Profit 1 3403 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3397 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3204 - 3206⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3200 →Take Profit 1 3212 ↨ →Take Profit 2 3218

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG: That worked pretty well! We gave the path yesterday for the potential move up on open and the target level we would be looking for which was 600pips away. Market opened, straight into the target level! It's there we got a small RIP but nothing significant so we decided to wait as Excalibur activated. That gave some traders an opportunity to long again into the target which is where we shared the RIP captured for the short. We're still not re-testing that level which could mean support below holds at the 3406-10 region and we see a retest of that 3430-35 level during the session to come. It that level again that needs to be watched with the extension of the move into 3450-55 which is now open! As always, trade safe. KOG

Gold can exit from wedge and drop to support levelHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Gold. Price action on Gold has shown strong bullish momentum earlier, as it broke out of the previous upward channel and started forming an upward wedge. The rally gained traction once the price left the buyer zone between 3006 - 3025 points, pushing through multiple resistance levels and creating a new structure of higher highs. After the breakout from the wedge’s support line, the price continued to grow and eventually reached the upper boundary of the wedge pattern. Here, we saw a clear reaction and reversal, signaling potential exhaustion among buyers. Currently, the price is trading just below the upper wedge resistance and has already made a pullback after the latest local high. Given this structure and the fact that the wedge pattern is tightening, I expect gold to reverse again and decline toward 3270, which is my first TP. If pressure continues, the price may drop to the 3210 current support level as TP2. The reaction from the upper wedge boundary, combined with weakening momentum and a strong support area below, supports my bearish outlook for now. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost 🚀

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG: Quiet day on gold for a change which was much needed after the moves we've seen over the last couple of weeks. We wanted to see this move yesterday and long into those resistance levels which has worked well today giving a decent capture. We now have support at the 3315 level which is circled and an area of interest above, which if supported could be a the potential move into the close/Asia session. Preference now is on taking a back seat and waiting for this to break out of the range, then capture the next trade. RED BOXES: Break above 3335 for 3345, 3347, 3355 and 3367 in extension of the move Break below 3320 for 3310, 3306, 3296, 3286 and 3380 in extension of the move As always, trade safe. KOG

Gold’s ATH Rally Slowing Down – Needs Correction!!!Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) has been on a strong uptrend in recent weeks , creating a new All-Time High(ATH) almost every day. Will a new ATH be created after $3,500 in the coming days? What do you think? Gold is moving between the Resistance zone($3,386-$3,357) and Support zone($3,282-$3,245) . In terms of Elliott Wave theory , it seems that Gold has started to form Corrective Waves after recording the latest ATH . Gold is completing a Zigzag Correction wave (ABC/5-3-5) ( most likely ). I expect Gold to start declining again after approaching the Resistance zone($3,386-$3,357) and attack the Support lines and Support zone($3,282-$3,245) . It seems like Gold needs a correction , do you agree with me!? In the worst-case scenario for my analysis, Gold starts falling from the resistance zone($3,431-$3,406) . Note: If Gold can move above $3,440, we can expect more pumps and maybe make na ew All-Time High(ATH). Gold Analyze ( XAUUSD ), 1-hour time frame. Be sure to follow the updated ideas.

GOLD (XAUUSD): Classic Trend-Following Pattern Gold closed on Thursday, forming a bullish flag pattern on an hourly time frame. The flag reflects a correction that the market started after a completion of a strong bullish wave. A breakout of its resistance line and a candle close above will signify a highly probable resumption of the trend. With a high probability, the price will move up at least to a current ATH. (Remember that the price may respect a trend line one or several times more and a correction can be more extended, that is why we rely on a breakout of a reliable trigger). ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

GOLD April Rally Continues📉 Flash Corrections and New Highs: Gold has shown sharp swings, dropping to $3,287 per ounce and swiftly hitting a historic high of $3,500. These moves are not chaos but reflect deep processes within the global financial system. 🔍 Key Drivers of Today’s Gold Market 1️⃣ Geopolitics on Edge: Trade wars between the US and China, political instability, and the upcoming US elections have fueled demand for safe assets. Central banks continue purchasing gold at a pace exceeding 1,000 tons per year, challenging the dominance of the US dollar. 2️⃣ Stagflation and Fed Policy: Markets are pricing in rate cuts, traditionally strengthening gold’s position. Even short-term easing of geopolitical tensions hasn’t derailed the bullish trend — inflation expectations and weakening consumer confidence keep pushing prices upward. 3️⃣ China as a Major Player: It’s not just state-level purchases — retail demand among China’s Gen Z is hitting new highs. Institutional mandates requiring gold holdings further tighten global supply, reinforcing upward pressure. 📊 Technical Outlook : Where to Look for Entry Points Support Levels: $3,260 – $3,280 Resistance Levels: $3,420 and the psychological barrier at $3,500 April followed a classic scenario: breakout to new highs, profit-taking, and return to key levels for position re-entry. For the attentive investor, this isn’t a reason for panic but an opportunity to reload into a long-term bullish trend. Gold is not just an asset — it’s a barometer of trust in the global financial system. Every time the system falters, gold shines brighter. Conclusion The gold market in April 2025 is a textbook example of how global risks turn into opportunities for those ready to act. Volatility only scares those who don’t understand it. As always, stay one step ahead.

Dealing with Stress in Trading: The Silent Killer of PerformanceTrading is hard. But not just technically or economically — emotionally, it's one of the most demanding things you can do. Charts, indicators, news, setups — they’re all part of the job. But behind every click, there’s a person reacting to fear, frustration, regret, and pressure. And that’s where stress creeps in. In this article, we’ll explore: • Why trading stress hits harder than most think • How it manifests (and sabotages) your decisions • Practical ways to reduce and manage stress • The mindset shift that changes everything ________________________________________ 🔥 Why Trading Is Uniquely Stressful Most jobs reward consistency. Trading, ironically, punishes it at times. You can do everything “right” and still lose money. You can follow your plan, manage risk, and still watch a red candle wipe your equity. The problem? Our brains aren’t built for that kind of randomness. We crave cause-effect logic — but markets aren't and most of all don’t care. This disconnect creates cognitive dissonance . The result? Stress builds up. ________________________________________ 🧠 How Stress Sabotages Traders (Without Them Realizing) Stress doesn’t always show up as panic. More often, it shows up as: • Overtrading (trying to ‘fix’ bad trades emotionally) • Freezing (not taking good setups out of fear) • Revenge trading (turning a bad trade into a disaster) • Inconsistency (changing strategy mid-week, mid-trade, mid-breath) • Physical symptoms (fatigue, headaches, insomnia — yes, it's real) Left unchecked, stress creates a loop: Stress → bad trades → more stress → worse decisions. ________________________________________ 🛠️ Practical Techniques to Manage Trading Stress Here’s what actually helps — not the Instagram-fluff, but what real traders use: 1. Create Pre-Defined Trade Plans Stress loves uncertainty. But when you enter a trade with exact entries, stops, and targets, you leave less room for panic-based decisions. ✅ Pro tip: Write your trade plan down. Don’t trade from memory. ________________________________________ 2. Use the 3-Strike Rule If you take 3 consecutive losses or bad trades — stop for the day, or if you are a swing trader, stop for the week, come back on Monday. It’s not about revenge. It’s about protecting mental capital. “When in doubt, protect your focus. You can’t trade well without it.” ________________________________________ 3. Build a Trading Routine (Like a Ritual) Start each session the same way. Same coffee, same chart review, same breathing. Why? It anchors your brain. Predictability in your environment reduces the emotional chaos inside your head. ________________________________________ 4. Step Away from the Screen (Yes, Physically) After a tough trade, move. Walk. Stretch. Get outside. Go to gym, ride your bike(these I do most often). Reset your nervous system. Trading is mental, but stress is physical too. You’re not a robot. Don't act like one. ________________________________________ 5. Track Your Emotional State (Not Just P&L) Keep a trading journal where you note how you felt before/after trades. You’ll find patterns like: • “I lose when I’m bored and looking for action” • “My best trades happen when I feel calm and centered” Awareness = control. ________________________________________ 🧭 The Mindset Shift: From Outcome to Process This might be the most important thing I’ll ever tell you: Detach from results. Fall in love with process. Your goal isn’t to win every trade. Your goal is to execute your plan with discipline. Every time you do that — even on a losing trade — you’re winning the real game. That’s how stress stops being the master and becomes the servant. ________________________________________ 🧘 Final Thought: Stress Will Never Go Away — and That’s Okay You’ll always feel something. But the goal isn’t to be emotionless — it’s to be aware and in control. Trading is like martial arts: the best fighters aren’t calm because they feel nothing. They’re calm because they’ve trained their response. So train yours. ________________________________________ 💬 Remember, consistency in mindset creates consistency in results.

However, after reaching the $3364 region, the price dropped around 3310 and has since been fluctuating between 3310 and 3340, making it challenging to trade. There’s a possibility that the price might touch 3400 once again before it drops. Good luck and trade safely.
