THE KOG REPORT - ELECTION SPECIAL - UpdateDaily chart – Election Special:
Quick update on the election chart we have been sharing since the beginning November. As you can see it’s worked well, however, at this stage of the movement we should have seen more upside movement on gold, which the accumulation is controlling. We have now added the additional level below 2590, as potential which corresponds with the KOG Report that has been posted.
Otherwise, nice clean movement, projected from the highs, swings were captured and levels worked extremely well. Red arrow was the projection, green arrows tracking movement.

XAUUSD consolidating awaiting the bullish break-out.Gold (XAUUSD) has been trading within a Channel Up pattern, with its most recent Higher Low being priced on the 1D MA100 (green trend-line). Since November 25, it has been stuck in range within the 1D MA100 and the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line).
As pre the RSI, this is a consolidation before the bullish break-out that will confirm the new Bullish Leg. A similar RSI consolidation around its MA trend-line was last seen during Gold's last Higher Low formation (June 07 - 27).
The break-outs Target was Resistance 1, so that is our Target again (2790). If however for any reason the price closes a 1D candle below the 1D MA100, we will be quick to take the small loss and on the counter go short, targeting the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) at 2500.

THE KOG REPORT THE KOG REPORT
In last week's KOG report we said to expect choppy price action, but we did not expect it to last the whole week! What a week however, the range allowing traders to trade within it up and down making the most of the levels on the boxes and Excalibur. We gave the weekly key level as 2620 which we said will need to break to go lower, otherwise, opportunities from that level were available and worked well.
On Friday we published the NFP report, again giving the key level for the push up 2625, this also worked well for traders, with the bonus of the short to end the week. A fantastic week for traders with us completing a phenomenal 37 targets across the markets!
We had that higher region of 2670 which however was not visited, so is it still available? Let’s dive in.
So, what can we expect from the week ahead?
This week we would expect this price action to continue, the range getting a little larger but the up and down movement making it difficult to hold position, at least for the first part of the week. We have that key level of resistance above again at 2650 with that level of 2670 still active on our books. For that reason, we feel this decline isn’t ready just yet, but the lower levels are available for consideration. Support below 2620 and below that the 2610 level are opportunities if we can continue this slow decline downside. We have the extension of the move at 2590 as key level support, so we feel that’s the ideal long trade for the swing up, if attacked.
Looking at the chart in more detail, and applying the red boxes, we can see we have defence above at 2635-40, which if held, can continue this move down into the red box 2625 as the immediate level for the range. A break of that level will take us further into breaker move 2610 and 2590 before any exhaustion.
As we close in to the festive period, we can expect volume to be thin over the coming weeks as well as sudden burst of profit taking, so please trade carefully for the remainder of the month, reduce your lot sizes and make sure you have a sensible risk model in place.
KOG’s Bias for the week:
Bearish below 2665 with targets below 2620 and below that 2610
Bullish on break of 2665 with targets above 2670 and above that 2685
RED BOXES:
Break above 2639 for 2650, 2660, 2663 and 2670 in extension of the move
Break below 2627 for 2620, 2610 and 2595 in extension of the move

XAUUSD next move. 2H timeframe analysis.Trading Idea: Sell Target 2604 with Pullback Opportunity
Asset: XAUUSD
Timeframe: 2H
Current Price: 2633
Target: 2604
Technical Setup:
The market is in a downtrend, with lower highs and lower lows. Price is heading toward key support at 2604, a strong historical level. Indicators show continued bearish momentum:
RSI is near overbought, suggesting potential for a correction.
MACD remains negative, signaling more downside.
Price is below both the 50 EMA and 200 EMA, confirming the overall bearish trend.
A move towards 2604 may trigger a temporary pullback, so watch for reversal signals (bullish candles or patterns) for potential long entries after hitting this zone.
Fundamentals:
The broader market sentiment is risk-off, with global concerns over weighing on risk assets. Any negative economic data or geopolitical risks could drive further bearish pressure.
GOLD (XAUUSD): Deep Consolidation & Your Trading Plan
Gold is trading in sideways range for more than 2 trading weeks already.
The recent high impact fundamental releases, did not manage to violate
its weakness.
Next week, pay attention to the reaction of the price to the support
and resistance of the underlined range.
If the price breaks and closes below 2605, it will open a potential
for a further bearish continuation to 2565.
Bullish breakout of the resistance of the range and a daily candle close above
2666 will confirm the strength of the buyers. The up movement will be expected
at least to 2715.
The absence of strong fundamental triggers will continue the consolidation.
Alternatively, you can trade the market within the range, buying from its support
and selling from its resistance.
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
THE KOG REPORT - NFPTHE KOG REPORT – NFP
This is our view for NFP, please do your own research and analysis to make an informed decision on the markets. It is not recommended you try to trade the event if you have less than 6 months trading experience and have a trusted risk strategy in place. The markets are extremely volatile, and these events can cause aggressive swings in price.
Quick report this week with the key levels to look for during the rest of the day. We had the 2630-35 region hold price down, giving us the move into the lower target regions completing all the bearish targets for the week, so now we’ll look for a similar move, or, simply stay out of it.
We have the level of 2670 still active from the KOG Report, maybe they have held back all week to swoop that level, so for that reason, that is where we will look to for a RIP and possible short attempt.
Circled below is a key level, 2625, any attempts at that region with rejection can give that push upside, unless broken. We did say yesterday a break of support will take us into those lower levels of 2610-15 which has already happened, so a similar move can not be discounted for a potential bounce from below.
Due to the range, the movement can be extreme, so please be careful, remember the trade comes after the event, let them move price to where they want, look for a clean reversal and you can capture the reversal.
RED BOXES:
Break above 2650 for 2661, 2664 and 2670 in extension of the move
Break below 2625 for 2615, 2610 and 2695 in extension of the move

Gold Analysis ==>>Expanding Triangle Pattern!!!Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD )is entering the Resistance zone($2,667-$2,653) .
From the point of view of Classical Technical Analysis , Gold seems to be moving in the Expanding Triangle Pattern during the last 3 days .
In terms of Elliott wave theory , Gold appears to be completing a Zigzag Correction(ABC) . ( Wave B(WXY) was complicated ).
Also, Regular Divergence(RD-) between Consecutive Peaks .
I expect Gold to drop to at least $2,642 , and if the Support lines(1,2) break, the Heavy Support zone($2,642-$2,620) can also break.
⚠️Note: You can enter a Short position by considering capital management after finding a trigger near the resistance lines or after breaking the Support zone($2,652-$2,648).⚠️
⚠️Note: However, the next few hours(6:45 pm UTC) of Fed Chair Powell's Speech will greatly impact the Gold trend.⚠️
⚠️Note: If the Resistance lines(upper line of triangle) and the Resistance zone($2,667-$2,653) are broken, we should wait for the Gold pump.⚠️

XAU/USD : Bullish or Bearish? Let's See! (READ THE CAPTION)Analyzing the #Gold chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we observed that gold continued its upward movement as expected yesterday, reaching the $2652 level before facing a correction. Currently, gold is trading around the $2640 level.
- Bullish Scenario: If the price stabilizes above $2640, we can anticipate further growth with $2660 as the first target.
- Bearish Scenario: If it fails to hold above this level, a move toward $2623 is very likely.
This analysis will be updated as the situation develops!

XAUUSD Still a great long-term buy opportunity targeting +$3000Gold (XAUUSD) has been following our Bull Cycle projection since 4 months back (August 05, see chart below) having risen an incredible +15%, from 2424 to almost 2800:
As you can see by the chart we constructed back then, despite the recent correction in November, the yellow metal is still a buy opportunity as this was only a technical pull-back based on our Bear - Bull Cycle model.
We have first come up with this technical pattern on April 04 2024 and the basis was the similarities (so far) of the July 2016 - August 2020 Bear-to-Bull Cycle with the Bear Cycle that followed the August 2020 Top and so far the current Bull Cycle.
As you can see, once the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) turned to a Support at the end of the Bear Cycle, it held up until the Bull Cycle's Top and every pull-back was a buy opportunity. More specifically, the current November correction looks very similar to the COVID flash crash on March 2020 that touched the 1W MA50 and immediately rebounded.
The key pattern here lies on the 1W RSI. As you see, once that broke above the 70.00 overbought barrier, while Gold was on the Bull Cycle's Channel Up, it started to decline inside a Channel Down. That technical Bearish Divergence (RSI Channel Down against Gold's Channel Up) affected the price on the 3rd top (Lower High), which was the Cycle's peak.
Right now it appears that the 1W RSI has (or is near) bottomed and is staring that final Bullish Leg to the Lower High that will form Gold's new Bull Cycle Top. Technically this should be after April 2025 and if it is formed again upon the completion of a +85.42% rally from the Bear Cycle's first bottom and at most the 3.0 Fibonacci extension, then we are still expecting a $3100 target.

THE KOG REPORT THE KOG REPORT:
I last week’s KOG Report we wanted the lower support level to hold 2710, give us the push up into the higher resistance level where we said watch 2720 and 2730 which needs to break above. It’s those higher levels, in particular 2750 we wanted to attempt that short trade back down into the lower levels. From the open, price resisted 2720, failed to break and gave us the red box trades down into the support levels.
We then had to switch to level-to-level trading due to the ranging which worked well, but we only managed 5 out of 6 Gold targets out of a combined 16 targets completed across the other pairs.
During the week we updated traders with the plans and managed guide them up from the lows to where we closed the week.
It was another successful and consistent week; however, the market didn’t move completely how we wanted it to. The Election special chart however, still on track and working well with our view from the start of November.
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
Ok, it’s going to be another choppy week, trades are most likely going to be again level-to-level on the red boxes which we will share with the wider community as and when we can. We have the level of 2670 sticking out as resistance with the support level 2650-55 being the key level. With NFP on Friday we would expect most of the movement during the early part of the week before they then settle pre-event into a small range. The weekly key level here is 2620 which will need to break for price to go lower.
We’ll start the week again looking for the higher levels 2662-5 and extension of the move into 2670, if held, an opportunity to short may be available into the lower support level 2650 and below that 2640. We need price to hold above the 2640 region in order to continue higher into the 2675 and above that 2678 price points, so please keep an eye on the support levels.
On the flip, if we continue downside from the open, we will be looking at the 2640-5 region to hold, and if it does, an opportunity to long is on the horizon into the 2665 and above that 2675 region.
KOG’s Bias for the week:
Bullish above 2640 with targets above 2655, 2665 and above that 2670
Bearish on break of 2640 with targets below 2635 and below that 2620-15
RED BOXES:
Break above 2652 for 2660, 2665, 2670 and 2675 in extension of the move
Break below 2640 for 2635, 2630 and 2617 in extension of the move
As usual, we will update traders through the week with KOG’s bias of the day and the Red boxes which have proven to work extremely well on not only gold, but also any other pair you wish to apply them to together with our basket of indicators.

Gold Becomes the Second Largest Central Bank Reserve AssetGold's importance as a reserve asset for central banks is on the rise
According to Bank of America, gold has now overtaken the euro to become the second largest reserve asset, To be more precise, B of A should have specified that it is the eastern hemisphere Central Banks that are diversifying out of the U.S. dollar and the euro and buying gold and yuan. Currently, gold accounts for 16% of global bank reserves, while the dollar has dropped to about 58%, down from over 70% in 2002.
Poland emerged as the largest buyer of gold in the second quarter of this year (though the specific amount purchased by China's PBoC remains undisclosed). Additionally, Poland is requiring that the gold it acquires be delivered directly to its Central Bank, rather than being stored by London banks. Turkey is another significant gold purchaser, and several African nations have also announced plans to increase Central Bank gold reserves.
While it may not happen immediately, there’s potential for gold to surpass the dollar as the top reserve asset, especially if the BRIC nations and other Eastern hemisphere countries go forward with their rumored plans for a gold-backed trade currency. A BRICS Summit will be held in Kazan, Russia, from October 22nd to 24th, where discussions on a new trading currency may take place, though this has not been officially confirmed.
On September 5th, Russia announced plans to ramp up its daily gold purchases from $13.5 million to $93 million (1.2 billion rubles to 8.2 billion rubles) for the next month, using surplus revenue from oil and gas. This information was reported by the Russian news agency, Interfax. This move seems to align with the potential development of a BRICS gold-backed trade settlement currency, or even a broader gold-backed currency system.
I raise this point because the U.S. Federal Reserve is in a difficult position. It’s facing immense pressure from the market and Wall Street to reduce interest rates, but doing so could trigger a sharp decline in the value of the dollar.
The chart referenced above shows a 5-year daily performance of the US dollar index, with the dollar currently testing the 100 level—a key technical support since early 2023. If the Federal Reserve begins cutting interest rates, it's highly likely the dollar will fall to 90, a level last seen in mid-2021. This decline would likely push gold prices toward $3,000 and silver toward $50.
A weakening dollar presents several challenges. First, it could accelerate the reduction in the dollar's role as a reserve asset for global central banks. Even more concerning for the US, a depreciating dollar coupled with lower interest rates would make it harder to attract foreign investment to finance additional Treasury debt, a challenge that is already becoming evident.
Additionally, the Fed is aware that inflation is running higher than what is reported by the CPI. Reducing rates will further drive real interest rates deeper into negative territory. While the official CPI suggests real rates are positive, using more comprehensive measures like the Shadow Stats Alternative CPI, real rates are currently at -3% using the 1990 CPI method and -6% based on the 1980 version. Negative real interest rates fuel price inflation, contributing to its persistence. Cutting rates further would likely intensify this inflationary pressure.
This is one reason gold has been reaching new all time highs almost daily since the Fed cut rates earlier this month. Silver, similarly, is on the verge of breaking into the high $33 range.
Precious metals markets are anticipating more than just optimistic Fed rhetoric about a strong economy and lower inflation; they are also predicting a potential return to money printing policies
