Gold Elliott Wave: Forecasting the path ahead

In this technical blog, we’ll take a closer look at the Elliott Wave charts for GOLD (XAUUSD) published in the members’ area of our website.

Gold recently completed a 3-wave pullback and rallied from the Equal Legs area as expected. The commodity may still be trading within the cycle that started from the 4233.8 low.

In the analysis below, we’ll examine the current Elliott Wave structure, key technical levels, and how we mapped the path ahead.

Gold Elliott Wave one-hour Asia chart 09.22.2026

The current view suggests that GOLD is still correcting the cycle from the 4234.1 low. The commodity is forming a 3-wave correction, which may be unfolding as a Double Three pattern.While price remains below the current peak, marked as (x) blue, we expect another leg lower to complete the (y) blue wave.As our members know, we derive the buying zone by measuring the Equal Legs area with the Fibonacci Extension tool. The ideal target area comes at 4299-4281  (buying zone).

Once GOLD reaches this zone, we expect buyers to step in and take control. From there, we look for a strong bounce in at least three waves, with the potential for the rally to eventually reach new highs.

Gold Elliott Wave one-hour London chart 09.22.2026

The commodity made the expected decline and reached our target area at 4299–4281, the buying zone we identified in advance. Price has already found support there, with the pullback now counted as completed at the 4292 low. As long as price holds above 4292, we can consider wave ((ii)) completed, with wave ((iii)) potentially already in progress toward new highs.

However, a break below 4292 would suggest that the pullback may still be unfolding. In that case, the 4234 low would become increasingly vulnerable.

Bitcoin (BTC) price trades below $84,000 on Thursday, extending losses after a 2% decline the previous day.

SNB leaves interest rates unchanged at 0%

Swiss National Bank leaves its key policy rates unchanged at 0%, as expected by market particiapnts.

SNB sees 2026 inflation at 0.7% (previous forecast was for 0.6%). The main risk to the economic outlook for Switzerland stems from developments in the global economy.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
