Gold with No Drama

Bro, if you know about the overlap session, NY time open etc.. trust me, the big guys know it too.
They need money to keep running this war, so obviously they will drop news to move the algorithms.

I am assuming you went long and trying to prove a point to me, you got a weekly vwap test and as of now a 2RR trade I don't know what else to say

1h still hasnt closed below 4024.700 means buyers are still valid
this stupid news must not hurdle

i avoid it bro honestly
iam not scalper more day trader
but my trade is running and it was to go 4060 atleast where i would have closed still holding

lets see

İran ,trump family lot of polticans inside p. Fx is the manupulation area these days

Another very aggresive absorption with the sweep and instant reaction supports the bullish move to be strong just hold it for a bit.

# COMEX Gold Monitoring Checklist
### A reference guide for tracking institutional-level data on XAUUSD
---
## 1. Real-time futures price & volume
- **TradingView** — search `GC1!` (continuous COMEX gold contract). Overlay against XAUUSD to watch spread and correlation live.
- **Barchart.com** — free COMEX futures quotes, good for casual checks.
- **CME Group (cmegroup.com)** — official source for contract specs, daily settlement prices, volume, and open interest.
## 2. Open interest & positioning (COT data)
- **CFTC.gov** — official, free, raw COT data (`cftc.gov/dea/futures/deacmxsf.htm`). Released every Friday ~3:30pm ET, reflecting the prior Tuesday's positions.
- **Goldhub (gold.org)** — World Gold Council's cleaner visualization of gold-specific COT and open interest data.
- **Tradingster.com / InsiderWeek.com** — free COT charting tools for spotting historical positioning extremes.
## 3. Order flow / footprint (advanced)
- **Sierra Chart / NinjaTrader** with a COMEX data feed (CQG, Rithmic, Barchart) — shows footprint charts and volume-at-price on GC futures.
- **Bookmap** — visualizes order book depth and large resting orders on futures.
## 4. Futures expiry & rollover
- **CME Group calendar** — track contract rollover dates. Volume/liquidity can look distorted around rollovers without reflecting a real directional move.
## 5. News & macro triggers
- **ForexFactory economic calendar** — CPI, NFP, FOMC dates. These are the events most likely to spike COMEX futures (and XAUUSD with it).
- **Reuters / Bloomberg** — free feeds are solid for breaking gold-relevant headlines if you don't have terminal access.
---
## Daily routine
1. Check overnight COMEX volume/price action before your session (TradingView `GC1!`)
2. Review Friday's COT report for positioning context (Goldhub or CFTC)
3. Watch the **8:20am ET COMEX pit open** — a common volatility trigger
4. Cross-reference any large futures moves against your XAUUSD chart to confirm alignment

## Quick reference: key terms
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| **Bid** | Price you can sell at right now |
| **Ask** | Price you can buy at right now |
| **Spread** | Ask minus bid — your cost to enter/exit |
| **Open interest** | Total outstanding futures contracts — measures market participation |
| **Non-commercial (COT)** | Large speculators — hedge funds, institutions |
| **Commercial (COT)** | Producers/hedgers — miners, refiners |
| **Rollover** | When traders shift positions from an expiring futures contract to the next one |

Lots of traders will be liquidated. confluence

It's still pre-open nonsense now, the big guns only drop in 20 minutes from now, so be Patient.

Hi Azhan,
kindly let us know any advises to avoid the these type of liquidity swaps ?

WTF market is actually doing?

I’ve been long since the asia close low but I just meant what has been the same?

Waiting for the true color of the trend is the best position. Swept means uncertain till confirmation.

Whipsawing against two opposing fundamentals

Manipulated markets, too much insider trading. Its wild. Risk mgt is the solution at this point.

Yeah since last night. fucking crazy week. never seen it coming

Man what a ride this week.... so much manipulation, supression and fakery....
