TRADE OF THE WEEK | Classic Trend-Following Trading 💰
Hey traders,
I told you many times that Gold is bearish and that bearish continuation is highly probable.
Following this analysis, I managed to catch a nice trend-following trade this week:
after a sharp bearish movement, the price started no consolidate within a horizontal trading range.
The price broke and closed below its support then.
Shorting on a retest, I caught 540 pips of a pure profit.
Great winner!
Did you catch it?

Gold: possible move to 1640-60s before any mean reversalGold likely to move back to previous week low as long as it trades below 1728. A clear break of 1728 comes 1748 which once broken brings 1800 on the card. At the mean time I'll see any move to 1734-36 as a cautious selling opportunity with risk management expecting it to pull back on the same candle below 1728 on 4h-daily time frame. Target at 1683 followed by 1650s-60s.
Gold can continue its descentSince Wednesday last week, Gold is consolidating in a range. This rectangle most often means continuation and in such an instance, XauUsd can make a new low and visit 1720 support.
As I said on Friday, the trend for the yellow metal is down and it will remain so as long as the price is under 1760.
Traders should look to sell rallies

Gold Weekly Analysis: It's all about FOMC and Rate Decision...Having been in gold sell mode all the time since the beginning of last week, but the market closed up nearly 500 pips after the release of the positive CPI report of the American session last Friday.
Both the Daily and Weekly candles have closed as bullish candles. Although the market has closed bullishly, Gold has not been able to close above its strong resistance zone. And there is no big report release for Gold until next Thursday.
So, there will be a big move in the gold market on FOMC and Rate Decision. And until Thursday, Gold has technically a chance to rise a little further to the $1880/1900 price zone. .
Resistance from current rate is $18800/1900.As market doesn’t have too many market mover days in early of the next week and gold closed in full faced bullish candle.
So, beginning of the next week, gold may go up and test $1880/1900 it drops. And I am expecting gold may drop from Trendline Resistance Zone of 1880/1900 during FOMC and Rate Decision.
Well, now if the Fed makes a dovish statement or does not raise the 50 bp rate then maybe it will close above $1900 and again the market will create a chance to rise till $1950 and $2000.
Reason for gold's drop:
1. Next week FED will hike rates more than 50 BPs.
2. Recently the US job market report and CPI rose more than expected.
3. Gold is near to its trendline resistance zone. So, technically it is expected to drop from the present zone of $1870/1900.
Caution: Of course we are not going to sell instantly. Because D1 and Weekly candle closed in full faced bullish pinbar candle.
So, it has created more chances to test the nearly $1880/1900 price zone again. I think till next Thursday (FOMC and Rate decision) gold will go up.
On Thursday we have the FOMC and rate decision. So, I am expecting gold will drop at the FOMC and Rate decision day not before.. Let's see what happens.
If you like my analysis, please like, comment and share. Thanks Everybody.

Gold Analysis Ahead of The FOMC. How to trade gold at FOMC? The much awaited FOMC will be released in a few hours. Naturally, there happens a big movement in dollar related pairs during FOMC.
There are two parts to the FOMC statement
1. Hawkish
2. Dovish
In a nutshell, hawkish means positive economic activity or optimistic positive economic projections. Hawkish statement includes all positive economic outcomes, including positive economic growth, positive trade balance, positive upcoming economic projections, more job creation, bank rates and salary increases. And Dovish is the opposite of all hawks.
Now the thing is, not everything in a country is as positive, but not everything is negative. That's why we look at two or three important matters in each FOMC. If these two / three issues are positive then we do not accept the statement is hawkish, and if it is negative then we consider that the statement is dovish.
The key issues in today's FOMC statement are inflation, economic growth and bank rates. And the biggest issue is the bank rate.
If all three of these issues are positive then we will take the statement hawkish and we will buy dollars against other currencies. In that case we must sell gold.
Now we will check the previous data a little bit about upcoming FOMC statement, from the previous data it is understood that the economic growth i.e. the previous GDP report dropped and this week the GDP report has forecast negative. That means economic growth is negative. But the job market report was positive in that case, although the economic growth is negative, the United States has some advantages compared to other countries. In that case economic growth is not entirely hawkish, but better than others.
Inflation, on the other hand, is in a super high position. The last CPI report was positive. It is good to increase inflation to a certain level, but it is dangerous to increase it too much. American inflation is now in a somewhat dangerous state.
We will not call it positive at all. However, it could also be positive if Powell mentions in his statement that inflation has risen, in the future we will raise rates further to control inflation. Basically, central bank rise bank rates to control inflation. So we have to see how Powell treats this higher inflation. If there are hints of more rate hikes up front, then it makes sense. This will be considered as higher inflation positive and the statement is hawkish.
Now let's come to the most important issue, rate hints. Basically, almost everything depends on this issue today. If Powell says today that they want to increase the rate by 50 bp even after July, then the statement will be hawkish. But if there are no hints about the aftermath of July, the dollar may not benefit much. Because it has already said that it will increase the rate by 50 bp in July-July, and the dollar has already become quite strong in the market with the price in it.
So, we have to keep this in mind at the time of the statement, what Powell says about the upcoming bank rates.
Now if the FED says that we no longer need to raise rates, or hints to raise rates below 25 BP, then the dollar will be weak against gold, if nothing else. Although such a possibility is low, but not absolutely impossible.
The dollar has strengthened against almost all currencies around the world. If the dollar is so strong in the long run, it will be bad for America in the long run as a reserve currency. American trade will decline, exports will decline.
From my own experience, I had seen many times if the dollar is strong in the long run, the FED willfully give a dovish statement just to weaken the dollar. So as not to have a negative impact on the economy in the long run. And since the dollar has been strong for several months now, and there is no press conference in today's statement, the Fed may be willing to issue a dovish statement. I will not make any decision beforehand of the FOMC but after FOMC, we will open trades based on the statement.
Technical view
Immediate resistance from the current rate is $1870 And there is support at $ 1850/1845. Until FOMC, there is an opportunity that gold may test $1850/1845. If the statement is dovish then Gold is more likely to test $1870 area by bouncing from $1850/45. If the statement is too dovish, it can break $1870 and may test $1880 areas. However, in the current context, it is very difficult for Gold to go above 1880 area.
On the other hand, if the FOMC statement is hawkish and the gold is stable below the $1845 area, then our 1st target for sale is $1830 and the final target is $1812.
