GOLD → Rates have been cut. Will growth continue?FX:XAUUSD , following the Fed's decision on interest rates, caused a shock, updating the ATH to 3707, then updating the minimum to 3633. Since the opening of the European session, the market has been recovering, but there is a BUT...
The Fed's Dot Plot confirmed the forecast of two additional rate cuts before the end of the year, which provides long-term support for gold.
The USD remains under pressure after the Fed's decision, despite a short-term rebound. Trump's statements and the escalation of conflicts continue to fuel demand for safe havens.
After rising to a record high of $3707, a short-term correction is possible. If today's jobless claims come in better than expected, it will temporarily strengthen the USD. As for Powell, his emphasis on “meeting-to-meeting decisions” may limit appetite for risky assets.
Resistance levels: 3674.7, 3688.6
Support levels: 3654.5, 3633, 3626.8
Technically, since the opening of the European session, gold has spent its intraday ATR reserve. From the specified resistance level of 3675 (psychological level), a correction to 3660-3655 may form before continuing to grow to 3675-3688.
Best regards, R. Linda!
Commodities
Gold Outlook: Bearish Below 3,676, Bulls Need 3,684 BreakGOLD – Overview
Gold remains sensitive ahead of the Federal Reserve rate decision, with volatility also influenced by the potential U.S.–U.K. trade deal.
A Fed rate cut typically supports gold, but
A successful U.S.–U.K. trade deal would reduce safe-haven demand, adding bearish pressure.
Technical Outlook
📉 Bearish scenario
Price may first test 3,676, then drop toward 3,666 → 3,657.
A sustained break below 3,657 would open deeper downside toward 3,640.
📈 Bullish scenario
A confirmed 1H close above 3,684 would signal bullish continuation.
Upside targets: 3,693 → 3,700 → 3,711.
Key Levels
Pivot: 3,676
Resistance: 3,684 – 3,699 – 3,711
Support: 3,666 – 3,657 – 3,640
📌 Market Context:
Fed Decision: A dovish Fed or larger cut could lift gold toward 3,693+.
U.S.–U.K. Trade Deal: Positive headlines would likely weigh on gold by reducing safe-haven flows.
CRUDE OIL (WTI): Strong Bullish Confirmation?!
Update for my yesterday's idea for WTI Crude Oil.
The price retested a recently broken structure and we see a
strong bullish reaction to that today.
A bullish violation of a resistance line of a falling wedge pattern
indicates a strong buying pressure.
I think that the market will continue growing and reach 64.65 resistance soon.

✅LIKE AND COMMENT MY IDEAS✅
Dot Plot Divide: Dollar Gains, Gold Stalls The USDJPY spiked lower following the Fed’s 25 basis point cut yesterday but quickly reversed trajectory as the dot plot projections from the FOMC came in softer than markets had expected.
The updated dot plot showed a narrow majority of FOMC members anticipating two more small rate cuts in 2025, while others leaned toward just one or even none.
This potentially suggests that the Fed is not simply aligning with Trump sycophant and newly appointed FOMC board member Stephen Miran’s aggressive call for repeated 50-basis-point cuts and instead signals an element of independence.
USDJPY (left chart, 1H): The pair has carved out a sharp V-shaped reversal after its Fed-driven dip, showing strong bullish momentum. This suggests buyers remain in control unless a reversal candle (such as a bearish engulfing) forms.
XAUUSD (right chart, 4H): Gold’s rally topped out near 3,707 before pulling back more than 600 pips to 3,646. The most recent candles show shorter bodies with upper wicks — a potential sign of fading momentum and supply pressure. If this develops into a bearish continuation pattern, the channel’s border becomes the next area of focus.
XAUUSD H1 | Bearish drop offBased on the H1 chart analysis, we can see that the price has rejected off the sell entry at 3,655.23, which is a pullback resistance and could drop from this levle to the take profit.
Stop loss is at 3,672.97, whichis a pullback resistance.
Take profit is at 3,616.99, which is a pullback support that lines up with the 127.2% Fibonacci extension.

If the support is not broken, you can go long on gold#XAUUSD OANDA:XAUUSD
After breaking through the support level of 3635, gold quickly rebounded near 3627, but silver, which is also a precious metal, did not change much. It is obvious that the main funds are controlling the market behind the scenes. If the US market retests the support of 3635-3625 and does not break, you can consider going long on gold, with the short-term target at 3655-3670
FED slows down: Cuts 25bps, gold stays flat🟡 XAU/USD – 18/09 | Captain Vincent ⚓
🔎 Captain’s Log – News Context
FED : Cut rates by 25bps as expected, hinted at 2 more cuts this year → initially supported Gold to rebound around 3,65x.
Powell turned hawkish :
• “No need to move quickly on rate cuts.”
• “Today’s cut is mainly risk-management.”
This message signaled that the FED is not fully opening the easing door → Gold fluctuated and stalled its upside momentum.
Tonight: Awaiting Jobless Claims & Philly Fed for more clarity on the FED’s path.
⏩ Captain’s Summary
Gold is supported by the rate cut, but Powell’s “braking” caused volatility.
Zone 3,663 – 3,665 has become the pivot support to determine the next move.
📈 Captain’s Chart – Technical Analysis

3,684 – 3,686 (strong OB)
3,717 – 3,719 (ATH Zone – very strong, likely heavy selling)
Golden Harbor (Support / Buy Zone)
Pivot Dock: 3,663 – 3,665 (new pivot support)

Market Structure
After breakout and profit-taking, Gold returned to test support.
3,663 – 3,665 : pivot support.

⚓ Captain’s Note
“The Golden sails caught wind as the FED cut rates, but Powell’s headwind slowed the advance. Golden Harbor 🏝️ (3,663 – 3,629) is the pivot dock to decide the next course. If it holds, the ship may rebound to test Storm Breaker 🌊 (3,684 – 3,719) . If it breaks, the ship will retreat deeper to gather strength. For now, Quick Boarding 🚤 should only be done at strong resistance, while the larger voyage still leans northward.”

Gold After Dip: Correction or Start of a New Uptrend?Hello everyone, yesterday gold saw a noticeable pullback, dropping from its peak of $3,703/ounce to around $3,685/ounce, a decrease of about 18 pips. This correction stands out, especially after a strong rally in recent days.
The reasons behind this move are clear:
Profit-taking: After the significant rise, many investors decided to lock in profits, creating selling pressure.
USD recovery: The US dollar showed a mild recovery, reducing gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.
Fed anticipation: With the upcoming Fed rate decision, market participants adopted a more cautious stance, leading to a slowdown in trading activity.
Looking ahead, where could gold be heading?
Scenario 1: If it holds above the support zone at $3,660–$3,650, gold could bounce back, potentially reaching $3,700 and beyond.
Scenario 2: A break below $3,650 could trigger further selling, possibly dragging gold down to the $3,600 level.
At this point, I lean towards the idea that gold will continue to consolidate around the support zone before a clearer trend emerges.
What do you think about the upcoming direction of gold? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
Gold Breaking Limits – Trend Speaks for ItselfGold Breaking Limits – Trend Speaks for Itself
Gold Market Outlook
Gold continues to demonstrate a well-structured bullish cycle, characterized by steady momentum and clean trend development. The market has transitioned from a prolonged consolidation phase into a sustained directional move, where each breakout is validated by controlled retracements. This reflects strong participation and confidence from larger players.
The sequence of market shifts and break-of-structure signals highlight how short-term pullbacks are consistently absorbed, turning into fuel for further expansion. Price action is orderly, with no signs of erratic volatility, showing that buyers remain in control and liquidity is being managed efficiently.
Overall, gold is moving in line with the broader macro sentiment. The rhythm of accumulation, expansion, and continuation suggests that the current cycle has not yet exhausted its potential. While interim pauses are expected, the structural integrity of the trend continues to favor upside development over the medium term.
Gold 1H – Retail Sales Impact Before FedGold on the 1H timeframe is trading near 3,682 after a strong BOS. Liquidity is now stacked above the premium resistance at 3,700 and below the fresh FVG demand at 3,669–3667. With U.S. Retail Sales scheduled today at 19:30 VN time, volatility may spike intraday, but broader positioning remains cautious ahead of the Fed’s rate decision this week. Expect engineered sweeps into premium before retracements back into demand.

🔑 Strategy Note
Retail Sales may provide short-term volatility, but Fed expectations will dominate the week. Smart money is likely to run both sides of liquidity: fading premium near 3,700–3,698 while protecting buys at 3,669–3,667 and 3,641–3,639. Trade with reduced size and confirm structure on H1 closes.
The trend remains unchanged. Short sell on rebound#XAUUSD OANDA:XAUUSD
The price of gold fell below the MA5 moving average and the trend turned bearish. In the short term, gold rebounded again. If it touches 3662-3672, you can consider shorting gold again. The short-term target remains unchanged. We can continue to see 3633. If the bears are strong, it is even expected to touch the 3600 integer mark. Just follow and you will make money, let the winning rate and facts speak for themselves.
GOLD: Strong Bearish Sentiment! Short!
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 3,666.89 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❤️
XAUUSD: Market Analysis and Strategy for September 18thGold Technical Analysis
Daily Chart Resistance: 3700, Support: 3600
4-Hour Chart Resistance: 3685, Support: 3625
Hourly Chart Resistance: 3675, Support: 3645
Gold prices generally declined on Wednesday, reaching a high of 3707.3 and a low of 3646, closing around 3659.
From the chart, after today's market open, gold prices, as seen on the 1-hour chart, have found support in the previous sideways range and are currently trading at the 20-day moving average (MA20) at 3672. If this level breaks through, it could potentially challenge resistance near 3686. However, considering the 30-minute moving average, holding above 3672 is unlikely in the short term, so we will have to wait for the NY market data. Focus on the upward pressure of $3693-3712 and the downward support of $3633-3646. The short-term bull-bear dividing line is near 3675! Buy low and sell high.
Potential Trading Range:
Selling range: 3693-3688
Buying range: 3651-3646

Review the crude oil movement Let’s review the crude oil movement last week. WTI prices declined amid concerns over the U.S. economy and oversupply. Traders are still assessing the Fed’s remarks regarding further interest rate cuts.
In terms of price action, crude oil maintained a volatile downward trend. There was a brief rebound at one point, but the gains were eventually erased, and prices resumed their decline. The downtrend continued through Friday, yet the key support level of 62 remained unbroken. It is expected that crude oil will stage a rebound and go up in the coming week.

EUR/USD WEEKPLAN ANALYSIS: Ready for ShortMarket Structure Analysis OANDA:EURUSD
Change of Character (ChoCH): The price shifted from a downtrend to an uptrend by breaking the previous high, which is marked as "ChoCH". This is the first signal indicating a change in the trend.
Break of Structure (BOS): After the ChoCH, the price continued to form higher highs and higher lows. A strong upward move broke the most recent high, creating a new "BOS". This confirms that the uptrend is continuing.
Current Trend: The current market structure is bullish. The price has created a new high (HH) and is now in a corrective phase, pulling back to find a strong support zone.
Analysis of Key Zones
Based on the market structure, there are key zones to watch:
BUY ZONE:
Location: The price range is from ~1.1670 to ~1.1690.
Significance: This zone is a crucial Order Block (OB). It was formed by the last candle before the price started its strong upward move, breaking the structure (BOS). According to SMC logic, this is where "Smart Money" placed large buy orders to push the price up, and the price is highly likely to retrace to "fill" the remaining orders. This is the most potential entry point for a long position.
SELL ZONE:
Location: The price range is from ~1.1820 to ~1.1840.
Significance: This zone is an Order Block and may also contain an Imbalance (liquidity gap). The price has already pulled back and had a minor reaction to this area. This is a temporary resistance zone. If the price continues to correct lower towards the "BUY ZONE", it will break through this area.
Liquidity and Stop Loss Zones:
Stop Loss (HH): The stop loss for a potential short trade would be placed above the highest peak (~1.1900).
Stop Loss (LL): The stop loss for a potential long trade would be placed below the lowest low (below the "BUY ZONE", ~1.1640). This area holds liquidity for buy orders placed here. If the price breaks this zone, the bullish structure could be invalidated, and the trading plan needs to be reconsidered.
Trading Plan
Based on the analysis, there are two main scenarios for trading EUR/USD:
Primary Scenario (Long Trade):
Strategy: Wait for the price to continue its corrective pullback.
Entry: Place a pending buy order in the BUY ZONE (~1.1670 - 1.1690).
Reasoning: This is the strongest Order Block zone, where the price is highly likely to reverse to continue the uptrend.
Take Profit:
TP1: The nearest high, above the SELL ZONE (~1.1840).
TP2: The current highest peak (~1.1880).
TP3: The liquidity zone above the high (HH) (~1.1920).
Stop Loss: Place it below the lowest low (LL), which is below the BUY ZONE (~1.1640).
Alternative Scenario (Short-Term Short Trade):
Strategy: Based on the current correction.
Entry: Consider a short-term sell trade when the price hits the SELL ZONE (~1.1820 - 1.1840).
Reasoning: This is a temporary resistance zone that could push the price down to fill the BUY ZONE below.
Take Profit: The BUY ZONE (~1.1670).
Stop Loss: Place it above the nearest peak within the corrective phase (~1.1860).
Important Note: The long trade scenario (primary plan) is more reliable because it aligns with the main market trend. The short trade scenario should be considered a short-term, higher-risk trade. Always follow proper risk management principles and only enter a trade with clear confirmation signals (e.g., a reversal candlestick pattern or a clear reaction to the key zones).
