Technical analysis by GoldMindsFX about Symbol PAXG on 9/12/2025

🌟The Hype vs. Reality Every NFP Friday, you’ll see traders flexing $500 to $5,000+ in one candle. But the reality check is that 95% of accounts are blown by spreads, slippage, and whipsaws. News looks like payday, but for the market, it is traps set both ways for retail traders. Why Gold + Red USD News Is a Dangerous Mix XAUUSD reacts harder with momentum than any other Forex pair. NFP, CPI, FOMC, PCE — every release creates engineered chaos. Typical pattern: spike one way → sweep stops the other way → only then trend resumes. Example: NFP prints strong, Gold dumps 100+ pips, sweeps liquidity, then rips 350+ pips bullish with the higher-timeframe trend. 🔴When You Shouldn’t Touch It (Beginners) If you’re still learning structure, stay flat. Here’s why: • Spreads jump 10–30 pips instantly. • SLs get slipped or completely ignored. • First candle is pure manipulation. • Emotions peak → revenge trades blow the account. • Best move: study the reaction and wait for a safe entry, repeat 100+ times X more. 🟢When You Can Consider It (Intermediate Traders) For traders with experience 1year+ on the charts: • Before the release: position based on HTF bias, with very small risk. • After the release: wait for the spike to finish, then take structure-backed entries. Example: CPI prints weak, Gold jumps → once the fakeout clears and structure reclaims, you trade the continuation. 🖊️The Truth Nobody Likes to Hear News doesn’t set the trend; instead, it likes to accelerate the story the chart was already telling. If you can’t trade Gold without news, why would you dream of lying to yourself that an Unemployment Claims would make you instantly rich? Final Note: Trading XAUUSD over Red folder news is not proving catching the spikes. You need to show by sitting put, waiting for the dust to settle, that you trade with structure. Beginners should grab some popcorn, watch it, and study for a while. Intermediate traders can use news as fuel. But if you dive in blind, remember XAUUSD doesn’t care about your trade; most likely, it will feed on it while you are volunteering as liquidity.
