Gold begins the week in a position of strength, holding elevated levels after an extended advance and continuing to attract demand on dips. With macro conditions still supportive, particularly the market’s sensitivity to real yields, USD direction, and episodic risk-off flows, Gold remains one of the cleanest “buy-the-dip” structures on the board. The week ahead is likely to be defined by volatility around key U.S. macro releases and central-bank messaging, which can generate sharp retracements even within a broader uptrend. The expected volatility is an opportunity, not a threat, provided the trade is framed around high-quality support zones and a clear invalidation point. Gold Trade Setup: Pair / Asset Bias & Entries Stop / Invalidation Targets Why A+ (fundamentals, technicals, sentiment) Near-term catalysts (UK time) XAU/USD LONG – Buy pullback 4,260 – 4,250 (triangle highs) or 4,150 – 4,140 (triangle base/MA zone). <4,140 (triangle/base breaks) 4,500 – 4,575 (measured-move zone) Fundamentals: weaker USD & easing-cycle logic & persistent safe-haven bid backdrop. Technicals: ascending-triangle framing with measured-move upside mapped to mid-4,500s. Sentiment: “buy-the-dip” regime remains intact while above 4,140 – 4,150; strong momentum but with clean invalidation. Tue 16 Dec 13:30: US labour/retail (rates/real-yields impulse) (Bureau of Labor Statistics); Thu 18 Dec 13:30: US CPI (Bureau of Labor Statistics); Thu 18 Dec 12:15 ECB decision (USD/real-yield cross-impacts) Chart by TradingView – Gold Trade Setup – 15th Dec 2025 Conclusion For the coming week, gold remains an A+ long setup so long as price continues to respect the defined support structure. The preferred approach is to buy pullbacks into 4,260 – 4,250, with an alternative deeper entry zone around 4,150 – 4,140, and to use a decisive break below 4,140 as invalidation. Upside objectives sit at 4,500 – 4,575, where profit-taking and mean-reversion risk increases. With major macro catalysts capable of producing fast two-way swings, the edge comes from discipline. Wait for prices to rotate into support, keep risk tightly defined, and let the trend do the heavy lifting while protecting capital if the structure fails.
