Support & Resistance Trading for Gold
Learn to identify and trade support and resistance levels for XAUUSD. Techniques for drawing key levels and trading them profitably.
Most guides on this topic are written by people who have never traded real money. This one is different.
Drawing Key Levels
I draw support and resistance on the daily chart first, then the 4H chart, then the 1H chart. The daily levels are the ones that matter most. Everything else is refinement.
Role Reversal
Before I enter any trade, I ask myself: would I show this setup to a mentor? If I hesitate, I do not take the trade. Accountability before execution.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis
The Asian session is great for range trading. The London session has the highest volume. The NY session has the most volatility. I trade NY because I prefer volatility over volume. Choose your session based on your personality, not your schedule.
Trading the Levels
Do not draw too many lines. I see charts with 15 horizontal lines and it tells me the trader has no idea what is important. Three to five key levels per timeframe is enough.
I have been trading XAUUSD for over a decade. Everything in this guide comes from real trades at my desk in Singapore — not from textbooks. Here is what I have learned.
