XAUUSD (H1) – Short-term Correction After ATH

268
Lana focuses on sell rallies, waiting for a deeper buy zone 💛

Quick overview

Market state: Sharp sell-off after failing to hold above ATH

Timeframe: H1

Current structure: Strong bearish impulse → corrective rebound in progress

Intraday bias: Sell on pullbacks, buy only at major support

Technical picture (based on the chart)

Gold printed a clear distribution top near ATH, followed by a strong bearish displacement. This move broke the short-term bullish structure and shifted momentum to the downside.

Price is now attempting a technical rebound, but so far this looks corrective rather than impulsive. As long as price stays below key resistance, Lana treats this as a sell-the-rally environment.

Key observations:

Strong bearish candle confirms loss of bullish control

Current rebound is moving into prior liquidity + Fibonacci reaction zone

Market is likely building a lower high before the next move

Key levels to trade
Sell zone – priority setup

Sell: 4392 – 4395

This zone aligns with:

Prior structure resistance

Fibonacci retracement area

Liquidity resting above current price

If price reaches this zone and shows rejection, Lana will look for sell continuation.

Buy zone – only at strong support

Buy: 4275 – 4278

This is a higher-timeframe support zone and the first area where buyers may attempt to step back in. Lana only considers buys here if price shows clear reaction and stabilization.

Intraday scenarios
Scenario 1 – Rejection at resistance (preferred)

Price retraces into 4392–4395, fails to break higher, and rolls over → continuation to the downside, targeting deeper liquidity.

Scenario 2 – Deeper correction then recovery

If selling pressure extends, price may sweep liquidity into 4275–4278 before forming a base for a larger rebound into the new year.

Market tone

The recent move reflects profit-taking and risk reduction after an extended rally. With year-end liquidity thinning out, price action can remain volatile and deceptive, making zone-based trading essential.
