Yes — completely. All market analysis and content published on Gold Compass Daily is free to read. No subscription, registration, or account is required.

We publish analysis daily, typically before the London or New York session opens. Each piece is written fresh that morning and reflects current market structure — not recycled templates or automated content.

Every article is written personally by Tihomir Gospodinov — a market analyst with over 10 years of active trading experience across gold, forex, equities, indices, and crypto. There are no guest writers, no AI-generated articles, and no outsourced content. If the byline says Tihomir Gospodinov, a human wrote it. You can learn more on the About Us page.

You can use our analysis as one input in your own research. We encourage you to understand the reasoning behind every level and setup — not just copy the numbers. Markets are dynamic. A level published at 6am can become irrelevant by 9am. Always apply your own judgment and risk management, and never risk more than you can afford to lose.

Start by reading the key concepts below. Each article explains the logic behind every level — not just the number itself. Focus on understanding why a zone matters before thinking about how to trade it. Over time, the methodology will become familiar. You don’t need to act on every analysis — reading consistently is itself a form of market education.

XAUUSD is the trading symbol for gold priced in US dollars. XAU is the internationally recognised ISO code for gold (from the Latin aurum), and USD is the US dollar. When you see XAUUSD at 2,350, that means one troy ounce of gold is currently worth $2,350. It is one of the most traded instruments in the world, with liquidity running 24 hours a day across global sessions.

Multiple factors drive gold, often simultaneously. The most significant are: the strength of the US dollar (gold and DXY tend to move inversely), real interest rates and US Treasury yields, Federal Reserve policy and expectations, geopolitical risk and safe-haven demand, inflation data (CPI, PCE), and institutional positioning in the futures market. No single factor dominates all the time — which is why context-aware analysis matters more than watching any one indicator.

Support is a price zone where buying interest has historically been strong enough to stop or reverse a decline. Resistance is the opposite — a zone where selling pressure has tended to halt or reverse an advance. These are not exact prices but ranges where price tends to react. When price breaks through a strong resistance level, that level often flips and becomes new support — and vice versa.

In trading, liquidity refers to the concentration of pending orders in the market — primarily the stop-loss orders of retail traders sitting just above highs or below lows. Large institutional players need volume to fill their positions, and they often push price into these zones to trigger those stops and generate the liquidity they need. Recognising where retail liquidity is clustered — and anticipating when it may be swept — is a core part of the methodology used at Gold Compass Daily.

Fibonacci retracement is a tool used to measure how far price has pulled back from a prior move, expressed as a percentage of that move. The key levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. In practice, the 61.8% and 78.6% levels are particularly significant in gold — they frequently act as decision points where price either resumes its trend or breaks down. We use Fibonacci not as a standalone signal but in confluence with structure, sessions, and liquidity zones.

Analysis is built top-down across multiple timeframes. The daily and 4-hour charts provide macro trend direction and key structural levels. The 1-hour chart maps session-level structure and setups. The 15-minute and 5-minute charts are used for precision entry zones and intraday scalping opportunities. Each timeframe is read in the context of the one above it — no chart is analysed in isolation.

Gold trades around the clock but volatility is not evenly distributed. The London session (roughly 08:00–17:00 GMT) and the New York session (13:00–22:00 GMT) are where the majority of daily volume and directional moves occur. The overlap between London and New York (13:00–17:00 GMT) is typically the highest-volatility window of the day. The Asian session is generally quieter and often sets up liquidity that gets swept when London opens.
