Its hard to resist the action of the casino some days.

Knowing when to stand aside is valuable.

You can find some side shows like Roscan Gold to buy and hold to give a kick while you wait for the AU set ups.

Jumping into this thread a bit late, but interesting to scroll back and see everyone debating 3650–3670 like it was the only thing that mattered.
After 30 years of trading gold, here's what actually stands out to me right now—and why most retail is looking in the wrong place.

First, the macro picture has shifted completely since September. Gold just tested $4,888 this week -2 and is trading around $4,762–$4,775 as we speak, on track for a third straight weekly gain -1 -3. That's not noise—that's a structural move.

What's driving it? Three things most people are missing:

Central bank accumulation isn't slowing down. China just increased gold reserves for the 17th consecutive month, adding another 16,000 ounces in March alone -4 -9. The PBOC is treating this as strategic—not speculative. That bid doesn't disappear because of one CPI print.
The geopolitical premium isn't going anywhere. Yes, there's a fragile two-week US-Iran ceasefire, but Israel just bombed Lebanon again yesterday, Iran is denying any negotiating delegation arrived in Pakistan, and the Strait of Hormuz remains largely disrupted -1 -2. Oil is still above $100. The idea that this resolves cleanly over a weekend? I've seen that movie before—it usually ends with a gap on Monday morning.
The technical setup is actually cleaner than people realize. We completed a full 5-wave ABC correction off the March low near $4,100, and we're now in Wave 5 with projections between $4,840–$5,000 -5. The 200-period SMA on the 4-hour is at $4,878—that's the immediate ceiling. A clean break above that opens the path toward $5,000 -1.

The real question isn't "is gold going up?" It's whether we get the breakout before or after this weekend's US-Iran talks in Pakistan. If those talks collapse—and given Trump's track record of reversing course on weekends—we could see a violent gap up Monday. If they hold, we might consolidate around $4,700–$4,800 for a bit.
One thing I've learned from three decades of this: in environments like this, most traders get chopped up because they're trading 5-minute charts and reacting to every headline. I've spent years refining a system that focuses on these institutional accumulation phases—the ones central banks and commercial hedgers are quietly positioning into. It's why I'm still here, and yes, it consistently doubles accounts. Not by gambling. By understanding what the smart money is actually doing.

Curious what others are thinking about the weekend talks—anyone sizing up for a potential gap, or staying flat into the uncertainty?

News is at the moment Iran/Israel is the aggressor and
others are taking the shit being delivered from Iran to other countries
like Kuwait and Saudi are shutting up even though they are attacked by IRAN
and china is buying oil from Iran and protecting their ships with soldiers armed with RPG to avoid anyone trying to board them

It is also possible that Saturday meeting for discussions between USA and IRAN may or may not happen

Thank you for your analysis and experience. I hope it is respected. We need to understand the market participants and you are including it. Based on this recovery post Parabola price movements I agree this is structural. What would normally waffle away after the parabola rush and exit has turned into accumulation from my standpoint. So I agree with your structural commentary and the technicals just need to get on our side a bit more. It is looking good.

Thanks again. Looking forward to your views.

Gold H1 Analysis Gold is currently consolidating within a tightening ascending triangle, wedge structure after a strong impulsive move. Price is holding above the key support zone around 4738-4750 while repeatedly facing rejection near 4800-4810 resistance. This indicates accumulation before a potential breakout. The trend bias remains slightly bullish as price is respecting the rising trendline but confirmation is needed with a clean breakout above resistance. A fakeout or liquidity sweep below 4738 is also possible before the real move. Trade...

4800 breaks properly then might be 4820-30 and final TP 4870
