tradeCompass Summary for Gold – July 21, 2025
Bullish above: $3,354.2 (only after a re-cross upward) Bearish below: $3,387.5 (after failing above this level and crossing down again) Current price: $3,373.5 Market sentiment: Bulls in short-term control, but tradeCompass avoids late entries
While gold bulls have control intraday, the price is near upper intraday levels, making this a caution zone for initiating new longs. The tradeCompass doesn't chase rallies—it waits for meaningful re-tests or failed attempts at key levels.
Bearish Plan: tradeCompass Short Setup
Partial Profit Targets for Bears:
$3,382.7 Just above $3,382, the July 14 point of control, and near July 11’s value area high. Reaching this allows early traders to move stop to entry, even if it's the first partial target.
$3,378.2 Near today’s value area high, also aligns with a July 14 liquidity pool. Logical second exit for risk trimming.
$3,370.4 Above the July 14 VWAP, and close to POCs from July 11 and 15. Strong zone for further reduction.
$3,369.9 Sits right above today’s VWAP and July 18’s value area high.
$3,360.4 Above the July 3 POC, a level for more ambitious bears or a small runner.
$3,328.4 Stretch target—above July 17’s levels and near the July 10 VAL. This is a swing-level target with lower probability but a high reward/risk for small-position runners.
If first trade fails, $3,395 is another level to consider re-entering short. This price coincides with a June 23 point of control, often targeted by algos and institutions. Not expected today, but worth planning for.
Bullish Plan: tradeCompass Long Setup
Bullish threshold: $3,354.2 But only valid after price crosses below it and then climbs back above—a signal that support held. No long should be taken on the way down toward this level.
Partial Profit Targets for Bulls:
$3,359.8 Aligned with the July 18 POC. Logical early profit zone after confirmation.
$3,366.2 Just below July 18 VAH. Ideal for second profit and potential stop-to-entry shift.
$3,373.9 Near July 15’s value area high, a spot where algorithms and pros often react.
$3,381.5 Just under the July 14 POC, a magnet level.
$3,386.7 Right below the bearish activation zone—offering bulls a reason to exit before resistance hits.
One of the most powerful edges of the tradeCompass method is not waiting for perfection. Instead of gambling on full moves, traders trim profits at logical levels where reactions often occur. This increases trade survivability, especially when price reverses early.
Understanding Volume Profile, POC, VAH/VAL & Liquidity Pools
Volume Profile is a charting tool that shows how much trading activity occurred at each price level, rather than over time. Instead of just looking at candles or bars, volume profile lets you see where the market cared the most—revealing where buyers and sellers were most active.
Point of Control (POC): The price where the highest volume occurred during a given session or time range. Think of it as the most “agreed-upon” price—often acting like a magnet that pulls price back or creates resistance.
So why does this matter?
Liquidity Pools are closely related. These are areas where many orders—especially stop orders or limit orders—are clustered together. Price often seeks them out like magnets, because large participants need volume to enter or exit trades without slippage. You’ll often see a sudden burst of activity when price reaches these areas.

Risk Management & tradeCompass Methodology
Move your stop to entry after the second partial profit is reached—or earlier if the distance to first target justifies it.
Always place stops within your defined logic, and never beyond the opposite threshold. Crossing that would invalidate your trade thesis.
The tradeCompass isn’t a forecast—it’s a decision-support map. It empowers you to trade around key levels recognized by hedge funds, institutions, and algorithms. You may use it with your own tactics or as a framework to follow passively and learn.
Whether you're day trading or monitoring price action for learning, you'll see how often gold reacts around these specific levels. Futures pricing may vary slightly from CFDs, so ensure you're watching the correct contract.
