$XAU Friends who hold gold in their hands, pay attention: how will gold move next Monday?❓
Let’s, together with the weekend geopolitical risk headlines, sort out for everyone the gold trend and ideas for positioning next week.🔥
First, let’s recap the key news on the weekend. Every impulse continued to escalate. Iran signaled the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the two sides’ conflict further expanded, and the Strait of Hormuz was closed again. At this stage, the gold price’s movement can no longer be judged purely by technical analysis. So, regarding the overall trend next week, gold is very likely to keep facing downward pressure. The level at 4080 is likely a key support—but it probably won’t hold. The market focus may shift to below 4080.
During the day there may still be short-term rebounds. If, for example, price rebounds upward from below 4080—say 4050/4060 to the upside—the rebound high would be around 4,100. I’m saying: after breaking below 4080, there may be occasional small rebounds. But these rebounds essentially need to be viewed as a brief stop-run to rally and then quickly drop again. With a lot of back-and-forth and whipsaw between bulls and bears, it’s hard to time the rhythm.
Add to that the CPI data that will soon be released, and it’s hard to expect a sustained rebound and reversal. In this kind of violent, choppy market, leveraged trading is extremely risky. Repeated stop-hunts can easily lead to large losses or even liquidation. If you don’t have years of hands-on experience, for newcomers with improved risk controls, on Monday and Tuesday it’s recommended to simply stay on the sidelines—don’t blindly enter to catch a bottom—unless there are clear signs that selling has stopped and prices have stabilized before considering an entry.
Those one-sided structural and technical interpretations are no longer useful. The structure of white gold trading has changed—it's like a knife in both directions for both sides.
And now, I’ll give you two positioning suggestions:
1. For leveraged gold trading: this week try to reduce the number of trades. Don’t over-position or hold through risk. Even if you set a stop loss properly, don’t rush into trying to catch a bottom. The market is likely to be hit by both long and short squeezes—your margin for error is very low. Waiting on the sidelines for signals is the best choice.
For long-term allocation, accumulate gold. Don’t panic and exit. Follow the “buy on dips with 2–3–5” rule: scale in with staged entries (DCA) and hold for the long run at an averaged cost. Don’t go all-in at once to catch the bottom.
Lastly, one more thing: current geopolitical conditions are disrupting commodity pricing. Market volatility is erratic and unpredictable. There is no one-way trend that guarantees profit.
