Piyush Ratnu’s analysis methodology for XAU/USD (spot gold) primarily relies on a proprietary algorithmic approach combined with technical and fundamental analysis.Core Algorithm: “Golden Falcon”Ratnu developed this proprietary trading algorithm, refined since 2015. It processes over 90 technical and fundamental parameters (in some references up to 130+ correlations) to generate forecasts, trading signals, and price projections. The algorithm supports both manual and automated trading modes, with features like high-frequency execution (up to 2 trades per second in ideal conditions) and auto-copy trading options.It claims high accuracy rates (up to 85–88%, with periods of near-100% in verified tracks via MyFxBook and MQL5), focusing exclusively on spot gold’s volatility.Key Components

• Technical Analysis — He uses Fibonacci retracements/extensions (e.g., 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 100%), support/resistance zones, moving averages (e.g., crossovers, 50-day SMA), chart patterns (e.g., double tops, V-patterns), candlestick confirmations, and multi-timeframe analysis (M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, daily).
• Fundamental Integration — He monitors economic indicators (e.g., US GDP, Core PCE, NFP, CPI, FOMC decisions), geopolitical events (e.g., wars, elections), interest rate impacts, USD correlations (e.g., USDJPY moves), and inflation/treasury yield effects.
• Historical Trend Mapping → He applies past seasonal or cyclical patterns (e.g., gold behavior in specific months or post-NFP volatility) to project future moves.
• Price Projections — He identifies distinctive sequenced targets at psychological or “pivot” levels (e.g., $4040, $4141, $4242), often in $100–$101 intervals, described as algorithm-driven turning points.
• Risk Management — He emphasizes net averaging positions, quick profit booking (e.g., within seconds to minutes), and blending his rules with mainstream levels for swing holds.
