XAUMO – XAUUSD (GOLD SPOT) | Tactical Market Report – Friday, April 25, 2025

Overall Market Outlook & Session Plan
The market is currently moving in a clear distribution zone, between 3,337 and 3,346. There’s strong evidence of a bull trap near the 3,346 high. Price is failing to stay above the VWAP, and we’re seeing overlapping signals between the HMA5 and EMA21. A close below 3,329.00 would be a major reversal signal, possibly kicking off a wide downward move.
Session-Based Behavior (Cairo Time)
1. London
(10:00 – 13:00)

(15:30 – 16:30)

• RSI < 40 confirms bearish momentum
4. NY Continuation
(After 16:30)
Expected: Continuation in dominant dir.
Tactics:
• If < 3,306.50 → keep selling

XAUMO | Bullish Tactical Plan

• Clean break above Ichimoku at 3,346
• RSI div + MACD cross

• Close >3,346 on rising volume

Final Note:
“Below 3,306, price gets crushed. Above 3,346 is a distribution trap. Buying without breakout is tactical suicide. Read the chart, not your wishes.”
Conclusion:
If the bullish scenario plays today, Friday April 11, 2025, a short-term rally may follow. Key: confirmed close >3,346 + HMA5/EMA8/EMA21 cross + RSI>55 & MACD>0. Otherwise, bearish plan stays default. The price decides; we stay ready.
