What Is tradeCompass and How Does It Guide Gold Analysis Today?

In a world full of indicators, charts, and market noise, tradeCompass offers a cleaner, institutional-style map for traders by anchoring decisions around Volume Profile, VWAP, and other high-liquidity levels.

Instead of chasing candles or waiting for moving averages to cross, tradeCompass focuses on professional key price zones—the kind that major institutions and market makers watch. These include:

  • VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): A real-time benchmark showing the average price weighted by volume. It's often treated as fair value by large players.

  • Volume Profile: This shows where the most trading activity has taken place—helping us identify Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL).

These are not just lines—they’re liquidity pools, or zones of intent where the most capital and order flow typically cluster. By analyzing how price reacts to these zones over time, we build a directional map that's far more responsive than random price points or traditional indicators.

That’s the core of tradeCompass: It doesn’t tell you what will happen—it shows where things are more likely to happen.

Gold Analysis Today – Current Outlook for Gold Futures (GC Front Month)

As of this morning, Gold Futures (GC) are trading near 3027.7, placing us firmly below the bearish threshold defined by tradeCompass.

Today, we're bullish above 3035.0 and bearish below 3031.2, based on key VWAP and Volume Profile levels identified by tradeCompass.

Directional Bias: Bullish vs. Bearish Thresholds

  • Bullish Only Above: 3035.0
    This key level aligns with:

    • Friday’s VWAP

    • March 18th VWAP (~3033)

    • March 19th POC (3035), also a major support zone on March 20

    Reminder: "Above" doesn’t mean "briefly pierced." You can use your own confirmation method:

    • 5-min chart with closing bars above the level

    • 15-min hold

    • Or your own preferred indicator to confirm sustained control

  • Bearish Below: 3031.2
    This is the Value Area Low (VAL) of March 18. Since we’re trading below this level now, the bearish case is already in play.

Bearish Gold Trade Setup – Gold Analysis Today (Intraday Focus)

Gold is already hovering in a sell zone that includes:

  • Today’s VWAP (~3027)

  • Developing Value Area High (~3029.3–3029.5)

This creates an actionable setup for short entries either:

  • Now (3027–3029 zone)

  • Or after a sustained break below 3027

Bearish Profit Targets

  1. 3023.9 – 1st Lower VWAP Deviation (March 18)

  2. 3018.8 – Just above March 21 VAL

  3. 3010.0 – Close to March 18 VWAP open

  4. 3006.6 – Above March 14 VAH and in front of March 16 key level

  5. 3001.0 – Round number + price memory

  6. 2997.3 – Above March 16 POC

  7. 2903.7 – Just above March 16 VAL

  8. 2956.7 – Swing target if bearish trend extends this week

  9. 2935.0–2933.0 zone – Final target zone where institutional buyers may show up

Trade Tip: If short from 3027 and price reaches the 2935 region, that’s a major win. Consider closing or scaling out entirely.

Bullish Trade Plan – Only If Gold Breaks Above 3035

If Gold futures break and hold above 3035, the short setup is invalidated, and we flip long. Here are your bullish profit targets:

  1. 3038.0 – March 20 VAL

  2. 3039.8 – Just below March 21 POC

  3. 3045.5 – Near March 21 VAH

  4. 3053.3 – Just below March 20 VAL

  5. 3063.0 – 3rd Upper VWAP Deviation of March 21

Observation: Bullish targets are tighter and closer to the breakout level, meaning the risk/reward to the upside is less favorable—at least for today. Still, setups can change quickly.

Why tradeCompass Matters for Gold Analysis Today

Unlike other tools that push a fixed bias, tradeCompass adapts:

  • Go long above the bullish threshold

  • Go short below the bearish threshold

  • And wait in between when price is unclear

It also offers micro-junctions—critical zones to:

  • Scale out of trades

  • Watch for possible reversals

  • Observe price behavior even if you're not in the trade

These maps are meant to be decision-support tools, not trade signals. You bring your own tactics, and tradeCompass gives you the roadmap.

Final Word – Navigating Gold Futures with Confidence

Today’s Gold analysis using tradeCompass points to a bearish setup already in motion, with multiple partial profit opportunities down to 2956 or even 2935 if momentum builds. On the flip side, a confirmed break above 3035 could reset the map and open the door to bullish targets—but the upside reward looks more limited in the near term.

Use this map with your own risk parameters, entry filters, and patience. tradeCompass is designed to adapt to your trading style while anchoring you to the price zones that matter most.
