Gold Spot (XAU/USD) Analysis – 1-Hour Chart
The chart showcases the recent price action in the XAU/USD pair with a few important technical levels and concepts marked.
Key Observations:
Break of Structure (BOS): The BOS level, around the 2,747-2,748 zone, indicates a previous resistance level that has been broken. This breakout confirms a shift in structure, suggesting the beginning of an upward trend.
Change of Character (CHoCH): This zone, marked just below the peak (around 2,765), suggests a potential change in the current bullish momentum. A CHoCH indicates that the market may be showing signs of weakness and could reverse or consolidate before the next significant move.
Premium Zone and Weak High: The price approached a premium area (2,788-2,792), where it met resistance and created a “Weak High.” This high has not been strongly reinforced, implying it could be tested again if the bullish momentum resumes.
Equilibrium Zone: There’s a shaded equilibrium area around 2,752. This zone represents a balanced area within the recent price structure and may act as a magnet for price if it consolidates further. It could serve as support if the price re-enters the equilibrium range.
Discount Zone and Strong Low: The blue shaded area below 2,720 marks a discount zone, representing a potential support if the price corrects further. The strong low at around 2,700 could act as a significant floor for the price in case of a deeper pullback.
Potential Scenarios:
Bullish Scenario: If XAU/USD maintains the current structure above the equilibrium zone, it could retest the premium zone around 2,788-2,792. A break above the weak high in this zone may open the door for further upside.
Bearish Scenario: A breakdown below the equilibrium level (around 2,752) could bring the price back toward the discount zone. If the price moves into this discount zone, it might present a buying opportunity at the strong low around 2,700.
Conclusion:
Currently, the price action reflects consolidation with potential for both upward and downward movement, depending on whether it respects the equilibrium and premium zones. Traders might consider watching these levels closely for either a continuation of the bullish trend or a potential retracement toward support.
