XAUUSD — The Breakout Is Done, Now Comes the Test

Aug 4

Gold has finally moved out of the previous downside pressure.

After reacting from the lower demand area near 4,020, price broke the descending trendline and started building a short-term rising channel.

This is a positive shift.

But the most important part comes after the breakout:

Can gold hold the retest?

The simple read

Gold is now trading around 4,055 - 4,065.

The key zone below is 4,047.

This is the OB Buy / retest zone and also the area where buyers need to defend the new recovery structure.

If 4,047 holds, gold may try to continue toward 4,085.

That 4,085 area is the first reaction resistance and possible short-term sell reaction zone.

If buyers break 4,085 with confirmation, the next important target is 4,104.

This is the main OB Sell Zone on the chart.

But if gold loses 4,047 clearly, the breakout becomes weaker and price may need a deeper correction before another recovery attempt.

Key price zones

Current price area: 4,055 - 4,065

Main retest / OB Buy zone: 4,047

First resistance / reaction zone: 4,085

Main OB Sell zone: 4,104

Deeper support base: 4,020

Bullish continuation improves above: 4,085

Recovery weakens below: 4,047

Trading plan

Bullish continuation scenario

If gold holds above 4,047 and buyers keep defending the rising channel:

Price may continue toward 4,085.

A clean break above 4,085 can open the next move toward 4,104.

This would confirm that the breakout was not only a short spike, but a real structure shift.

Resistance reaction scenario

If gold reaches 4,085 - 4,104 and shows rejection:

The market may pause or pull back again.

These are strong reaction zones, so I do not want to chase late buys directly into resistance.

A rejection there may bring price back toward 4,047.

Weakness scenario

If 4,047 breaks clearly:

The short-term recovery becomes weaker.

Gold may retest the lower base around 4,020 before choosing the next direction.

XAUUSD Update — Two Sell Zones, Clean Reaction

Yesterday’s Tiara plan played out beautifully.
Gold created a strong bullish wave during the session, but price still respected the key sell zones marked on the chart.
The first sell reaction came around 4,085 and delivered a strong move.
The second reaction near 4,104 gave another clean rejection.
Together, both sell setups produced over 600 pips of movement from the planned resistance areas.

This is why I always say:
Do not chase the candle.
Wait for price to reach the zone.
Let the reaction confirm the story.
Gold looked bullish during the push, but resistance still told the truth.

Trade closed: target reached

Gold respected the Tiara plan beautifully.


Price came back to the marked OB Buy / Retest Zone around 4,047, reacted cleanly, and then pushed strongly to the upside.

From that retest area, the buy setup has now delivered over 1,200 pips of movement.

The lesson is simple:

Do not chase the top.

Wait for price to return to the zone.

Let the reaction confirm the setup.

The market tested support, buyers defended it, and the structure continued exactly from the planned area.
