The short answer
If you want a powerful, multi-asset charting platform and do not mind creating an account, TradingView is the standard. If you want economic data and news beside a basic chart with no login, Investing.com is strong. If you specifically want a free XAU/USD chart with market-structure overlays (order blocks, supply and demand, liquidity) drawn for you and no account, a dedicated gold chart such as the one on this site fits best. Most traders end up using more than one.
How we compared them
We looked at the things that actually matter for a free gold chart: whether XAU/USD is available, whether you need to log in, the range of timeframes, drawing tools and indicators, any gold-specific or smart-money overlays, an economic calendar, mobile usability, how transparent the data source is, and how many ads or distractions sit between you and the chart. No tool wins every row, and we have not tried to pretend otherwise.

Best for each need
Best for advanced multi-market charting: TradingView, if you will use its depth and do not mind an account. Best for economic data and news beside a chart: Investing.com, if you can tolerate the ads. Best for XAUUSD-specific analysis with no login: a dedicated gold chart such as the live chart on this site, which draws support and resistance, supply and demand, order blocks and liquidity for you and documents its data source and method.
How to choose
Pick by the job, not the brand. Ask three questions: do I need markets beyond gold, do I want an account, and do I want structure marked for me or drawn myself? Your answers point at one of the options above. There is no single best free XAUUSD chart, only the best one for how you actually work, and using two together, one for depth and one for a fast gold read, is completely reasonable.
FAQ
What is the best free XAUUSD chart?
It depends on your need. TradingView is best for deep multi-asset charting with an account, Investing.com for economic data and news with no login, and a dedicated gold chart is best for XAUUSD-specific market-structure overlays without an account. Many traders use more than one.
Is there a free XAUUSD chart with no login?
Yes. Investing.com and dedicated gold charts such as the one on this site let you open a live XAU/USD chart without creating an account. TradingView is usable without login but with more limits.
Which free gold chart has order blocks and supply and demand?
General platforms need manual drawing or community scripts for those. A dedicated XAU/USD chart like the one on this site draws order blocks, supply and demand and liquidity automatically and confirms them on candle close.
