Precious metal · spot price in US dollars Spot priceThe price for immediate delivery – unlike a futures contract, which is delivered later and often has a different price. For precious metals we show the spot price against the US dollar.Example: XAU/USD = price of one troy ounce of gold in US dollars for immediate delivery.More in the Academy: Glossary
Gold is a precious metal that has served as jewelry, money and a store of value for thousands of years. Today demand comes mainly from jewelers, investors and central banks; a small share goes into electronics. It trades almost around the clock on weekdays, quoted per troy ounce in US dollars. This page shows the XAU/USD spot rate. As of Oct 24, 2026
No buy zone
There is currently no buy zone for this symbol under our Elliott rule. One only forms when the price pulls back after a strong rise.
An observation, not investment advice
Rule (4-hour candles) No entry in the zone history yet (recording since Oct 12, 2026). Zone historyThe zone history shows since when a buy zone has applied, when it was adjusted and when the price touched or left it. Recording began on Oct 12, 2026, only runs forward and fills nothing in – older zones are marked “known at start of recording” or “already existing when added”.Example: New buy zone on Oct 14, no adjustment since → “zone valid since Oct 14, 2026 · unchanged since”.More in the Academy: Lesson buy zone and Fibonacci
Weekly candles (1W) Already existing when added to the recording (added in the Week from Oct 19, 2026) · Setup confirmed on Sep 28, 2026 · unchanged since it was added Zone historyThe zone history shows since when a buy zone has applied, when it was adjusted and when the price touched or left it.

Timeframe 1 week · As of Oct 23, 2026 · display only, the rule works on 4-hour candles
Elliott count: Zigzag (A-B-C), Corrective pattern (downward), C in progress (1 of 2 guidelines) · B = 81% of A; C = 78% of A
Comparison: The rule treats the last rise as the possible start of an upward impulse (without checking its history and structure). The Elliott count reads it as countermove B in a correction.
Note: Structure ambiguous: leg B can also be read as three- or five-part.
Note: Retracement at least 88.7% of A: flat possible (B in progress, type only with C).
Elliott count calculated automatically by fixed Elliott rules, not investment advice – display only, our buy zones do not use it. Provisional: The count can change with new candles.
Automated analysis (rule-based): the rule calculates waves and Fibonacci levels from the completed weekly candles; the chart is recalculated every day. Not investment advice. On this timeframe the chart only shows the rule setup (swing detection 2 × ATR) – the rule itself works on 4-hour candles. Axis and values: distance from the top of the buy zone in %, no prices. Fibonacci measured logarithmically (weekly candles).

Comparison: The rule treats the last rise as the possible start of an upward impulse (without checking its history and structure). The Elliott count reads it as the end of an upward correction (C).
Note: Structure ambiguous: leg C can also be read as three- or five-part.

No buy zone of the rule on this timeframe – the chart shows only the Elliott count from the completed 4-hour candles (recalculated every hour). Not a recommendation, not investment advice. Without a buy zone there is no reference for percentages – so no value axis and no prices; measurements are ratios of wave lengths.

Weighting Main scenario (1 of 2 guidelines, medium) · no alternative Guidelines (strength of the count)Guidelines are typical features of a count, such as usual Fibonacci lengths or a change in the form of correction. Strong means: at least three quarters met, medium: at least half, otherwise weak. Even a strong count can flip.Example: 3 of 3 guidelines → strong; 2 of 4 → medium; 1 of 3 → weak.More in the Academy: Lesson wave degrees
Weighting by guidelines met – not a probability.
As long as the weekly close stays below the end of B, this applies: sharp countermove downward in three waves (Zigzag A-B-C), C in progress – count points to falling prices.
Invalid if the weekly close is above the end of B (+11.4% from the top of the zone)
If that breaks, this count no longer applies. Currently no alternative that follows the rules.

ATR ATR (Average True Range)The average range per trading day over the last 14 days. It makes distances comparable, whether a stock costs 10 or 1,000.Example: ATR 2.50 at a price of 100: 0.4 ATR is 1.00, i.e. 1%.More in the Academy: Lesson ATR and moving averages as price values only when logged in.
