Technical analysis by GoldMindsFX about Symbol PAXG on 5/22/2025

Gold is walking on a tightrope today — and below it is a pit full of retail stops. With a full lineup of high-impact USD news and price tapping into key supply zones, you already know:The first move is bait. The second pays the sniper. 🧨 FUNDAMENTAL MINEFIELD – MAY 22Today is packed with market-moving data — every piece adds fuel to the fire:🕒 15:30 – Unemployment Claims230K forecast vs. 229K previous👀 A miss = USD weakness, gold spike🧨 A beat = potential pressure on gold🛠️ 16:45 – Flash PMIs (Manufacturing & Services)Manufacturing: 49.9 → contractionServices: 51.0 → weak expansion💥 This is the real bias decider. Two beats = gold down. Two misses = gold up. One of each = chop zone.🌍 G7 Meetings – All DayGeopolitical tension brewing? That’s the stealth trigger gold always loves.🧠 MACRO STRUCTURE OUTLOOK• HTF still shows price moving inside key supply• D1/H4 momentum looks bullish but stretched• No clean HTF BOS, and no new structural dominance post-May 21 sell setup⚠️ Translation: Rally looks strong but smells like trap. NY session will expose the truth.🗺 GOLDMINDSFX SNIPER ZONE MAP ✅🔴 SUPPLY / SHORT BIAS ZONES• 3355–3364→ H1/H4 supply + internal sweep zone→ Primary area for fakeouts/premium fades• 3385–3395→ Old POI + unmitigated H4 OB→ Algo zone for stop-hunt before dump• 3418–3427→ Daily imbalance extension→ Low-touch, high-R:R trap — news only🟢 DEMAND / LONG BIAS ZONES• 3315–3308→ H1 OB + micro break zone→ Must hold for bullish continuation• 3298–3288→ Post-CHoCH FVG + OB = sniper buy zone→ High-prob bounce zone• 3270–3260→ H4 breaker + old demand→ Key flip zone — if lost, bears take control• 3236–3228→ D1 OB + FVG tail→ Only valid in a meltdown.
