📊 Gold XAU/USD Outlook — August 13, 2026 Gold is trading around $4,380 after a strong rally and rejection from the $4,435–4,450 area. The broader structure remains constructive, but the intraday momentum has weakened after buyers failed to hold above $4,400. 🔹 Resistance: 4,400–4,410 🔹 Major resistance: 4,435–4,450 🔹 Support: 4,370–4,360 🔹 Key support: 4,350 🔹 Lower targets: 4,330–4,315 📈 Bullish scenario If gold holds above 4,360–4,370 and buyers recover 4,400–4,410, another attempt toward 4,435–4,450 becomes possible. A confirmed breakout above 4,450 could open the way toward 4,475–4,480 and potentially the psychological 4,500 level. 📉 Bearish scenario The important level for sellers is 4,350. A confirmed break below this area would weaken the current bullish structure and could trigger a deeper correction toward: 4,330 → 4,315 → 4,300 ⚠️ Main event today US Producer Price Index (PPI) will be released at 19:30 Bangkok time. A softer inflation reading could weaken the US dollar and support another gold rally. A stronger-than-expected PPI could strengthen the dollar and Treasury yields, increasing pressure on gold. 🎯 My scenario Before the US data, I expect gold to remain volatile between approximately 4,360 and 4,410. Above 4,410 → focus returns to 4,435–4,450. Below 4,350 → correction toward 4,330–4,300 becomes more likely. I would avoid chasing the market before PPI and wait for confirmation around the key levels. #XAUUSD #Gold #Forex #Trading #TechnicalAnalysis #GoldTrading Subscribe to my profile (Add as Friend): https://www.mql5.com/en/users/batudaev

Waiting for confirmation can become waiting for comfort Many traders say they are waiting for confirmation. That sounds disciplined. Wait for the candle close. Wait for the retest. Wait for momentum. Wait for the level to prove itself. And sometimes that is exactly the right thing to do. But there is another version of waiting that looks professional from the outside and emotional from the inside. The trader is not really waiting for confirmation. He is waiting until the trade feels safe. That difference is important. Real confirmation improves the quality of the setup. It gives new information: structure holds, momentum appears, rejection is clear, the level is accepted, or the invalidation point becomes easier to define. Emotional comfort is different. It usually appears after the best price is already gone. The move becomes obvious. The chart looks cleaner. Other traders start seeing the same idea. The fear of being wrong becomes smaller — but the risk-reward often becomes worse. This is where many late entries happen. The trader waited long enough to feel confident, but too long to get a good location. I usually ask: — Did I wait for useful information, or just for emotional relief? — Is the trade now clearer, or simply more expensive? — Did confirmation improve the setup, or did it only make me feel safer? — If I enter now, is the risk still worth the opportunity? These questions matter because the market often charges a price for comfort. The earlier stage of a setup usually feels uncertain, but offers better location. The later stage feels safer, but often offers worse risk. A trader does not need to enter blindly. But he also cannot wait until all uncertainty disappears. Because by the time the trade feels completely safe, the edge may already be smaller. Good confirmation should make the setup stronger. Bad confirmation only makes the trader calmer. And those are not the same thing. In trading, waiting is not automatically discipline. Sometimes waiting is just fear wearing a patient mask.

📊 Gold XAU/USD Outlook — August 5 Gold has extended its recovery and reached a one-month high near $4,160. The short-term structure remains bullish, but after such a strong intraday rally, buying directly at the highs carries increased risk. 🔹 Resistance: 4,170–4,180 🔹 Next targets: 4,200 and 4,220–4,230 🔹 Support: 4,140–4,135 🔹 Lower supports: 4,110–4,100 and 4,085–4,075 📈 Bullish scenario: As long as gold holds above 4,135, buyers remain in control. A breakout and consolidation above 4,180 could open the way toward 4,200 and 4,220. 📉 Bearish scenario: A rejection from 4,170–4,180 followed by a move below 4,135 could trigger profit-taking toward 4,110 and 4,090. ⚠️ Important US news in Bangkok time: • 19:15 — ADP Employment Change • 20:45 — S&P Global Services PMI • 21:00 — ISM Services PMI Weak US data could pressure the dollar and support another rise in gold. Strong figures may trigger a correction after the current rally. ➡️If you want trade Gold automatically, I recommend you my EA GoldPro, the MT5 version of the advisor is here, and the MT4 version is here My priority today is to avoid chasing the price. Buying is more attractive after a pullback and confirmation above support, or after a breakout and retest of 4,180. Selling becomes relevant only after consolidation below 4,135.

Last trades with EA GOLD PRO 22.07-24.07.2026 The advisor works properly and in sync with the market, and I don’t think there’s any need to invent or change anything if it works. Some say backtesting an EA GoldPro sometimes shows good results, sometimes bad results. My answer is: I don't strive for perfect backtests; I test in online trading practice what works and what doesn't. You'll find plenty of EAs on the market that will show you perfect results in the strategy tester, but believe me, that won't happen in real trading. You always need to take risks to make money, and help and manage EA yourself. Second, if there was an holy grail EA that would earn 3% on every trade with a 1% risk, I'd buy it myself. Spoiler: No EA like this, I haven't seen one in my 12 years of trading. For those who also want to trade gold, the MT5 version of the advisor is here, and the MT4 version is here

Gold / XAUUSD Analysis – July 22, 2026 Gold continues to trade above the $4,100 breakout level after reaching a fresh two-week high. The short-term momentum remains bullish, but chasing the price higher is not the best option. Main support zone: $4,095–$4,110 As long as gold holds above this area, buyers remain in control. Upside targets: $4,140 → $4,170 → $4,200 Main sell zones: $4,170–$4,200 $4,220–$4,240 I would only consider selling if gold reaches these resistance areas and shows a clear rejection. Downside targets: $4,060 → $4,040 → $4,000 Breakdown sell scenario: If gold breaks and closes below $4,095, bearish pressure may increase. Next downside targets: $4,060 → $4,040 → $4,000 News: Gold remains supported by safe-haven demand, geopolitical uncertainty, and expectations ahead of next week’s Federal Reserve meeting. My short conclusion: I prefer buying on pullbacks while gold remains above $4,095–$4,110. ➡️If you want trade Gold automatically, I recommend you my EA GoldPro, the MT5 version of the advisor is here, and the MT4 version is here I would only look for sell opportunities near $4,170–$4,200 or after a confirmed breakdown below support.

Gold / XAUUSD Analysis – July 21, 2026 Gold is trading around $4,050–$4,080 after a strong rebound from the $4,000 area. The short-term picture looks neutral to cautiously bullish, but gold is already close to resistance, so I would not buy aggressively at the highs. Main support zone: $4,040–$4,055 If gold holds this area and shows a clear buyer reaction, the rebound may continue. Upside targets: $4,080 → $4,100 → $4,120 Main sell zones: $4,080–$4,100 $4,120–$4,135 If gold reaches these zones and shows weakness, I would look for sell setups. Downside targets: $4,055 → $4,040 → $4,020 → $4,000 Breakdown sell scenario: If gold breaks and consolidates below $4,040, sellers may push the price lower. Next downside targets: $4,020 → $4,000 → $3,980 News background: Gold is supported by hopes for US–Iran diplomacy and lower oil pressure, but the upside is still limited by Fed rate expectations, Treasury yields, and the US dollar. My short conclusion: As long as gold stays above $4,040–$4,055, I prefer buying from pullbacks, but not at the highs. or those who want to trade gold automatically I have good ➡EA GoldPro, the MT5 version of the advisor is here, and the MT4 version is here Near $4,080–$4,100, I would be careful and watch for possible sell reaction.

Discipline is not the same as stubbornness A lot of traders say they are “following the plan.” But sometimes they are not following the plan. They are just refusing to admit that the market has changed. This is a dangerous difference. Discipline means respecting the rules when emotions are loud. It means not chasing, not revenge trading, not increasing risk randomly, and not abandoning the process after one bad result. But stubbornness looks similar from the outside. The trader holds because “the plan says so.” He ignores new information because “the setup is still valid.” He refuses to close because “price should come back.” He keeps defending the original idea even after the market has already damaged it. That is not discipline. That is attachment. A disciplined trader protects the plan. A stubborn trader protects his opinion. This is why I always try to separate two questions: “Am I still following my system?” and “Is the reason for this trade still alive?” These are not always the same thing. Sometimes the original trade idea is still valid, and the discomfort is just normal market noise. In that case, closing too early is emotional. But sometimes the structure has changed, the level has failed, momentum has disappeared, or the trade no longer offers the same quality. In that case, holding is not discipline. It is hope with a professional excuse. I usually ask: — Has the market invalidated the original idea? — Am I holding because the setup is still valid, or because I do not want to take the loss? — Would I open this same trade again right now? — Am I respecting the plan, or defending my ego? That last question matters more than most traders admit. Because the market does not care how logical your first idea was. Once new information appears, the trader has to update. Not emotionally. Not randomly. But honestly. Good discipline is flexible within rules. It does not mean changing the plan every candle. It also does not mean ignoring everything after entry. The goal is not to be rigid. The goal is to be consistent without becoming blind. Because in trading, discipline keeps you stable. But stubbornness can keep you wrong.

Gold / XAUUSD Analysis – July 17, 2026 Today, the gold outlook looks bearish / cautiously bearish. Gold is trading around $3,980. The market remains under pressure because of higher oil prices, inflation risks, a stronger US dollar, and expectations that the Fed may keep a more hawkish tone. Main priority: selling from resistance. Nearest sell zone: $4,000–$4,020 If gold rebounds into this area and shows weakness, I would look for sell setups. Downside targets: $3,980 → $3,950 → $3,930 Second sell zone: $4,040–$4,060 This is a stronger resistance area. As long as gold stays below this zone, I would not expect a strong bullish reversal. Downside targets: $4,000 → $3,980 → $3,950 Breakout sell scenario: If gold breaks and consolidates below $3,970–$3,980, sellers may increase pressure. Next downside targets: $3,950 → $3,930 → $3,900 Buy setups only carefully: Possible buy zone: $3,970–$3,980 Only if the price holds this area and shows a clear buyer reaction. Upside targets: $4,000 → $4,020 → $4,040 News to watch today: The main focus is on oil prices, US–Iran headlines, the US dollar, Treasury yields, Fed expectations, and US consumer sentiment data. Strong US data may support the dollar and pressure gold. Weak data may give gold a chance for a short rebound. My short conclusion: As long as gold stays below $4,040–$4,060, I prefer selling from resistance or selling after a confirmed breakdown below $3,970–$3,980. For those who want to trade gold automatically I have good ➡️EA GoldPro, the MT5 version of the advisor is here, and the MT4 version is here Main zones: Sell: $4,000–$4,020 and $4,040–$4,060 Targets: $3,980 → $3,950 → $3,930 → $3,900 Buy only carefully: from $3,970–$3,980 for a short rebound This is not financial advice.

I also enabled sell trades in the advisor. For a long time, I only traded long. The market had been falling for a while, but my buy trades were very accurate, so I didn't change the settings because they worked well for entries. Now I've also added gold shorts. I've been shorting with the manual version of GoldPro for a long time now; those who read my trading recommendations and analytics have seen it for themselves.
