XAU/USD at Crossroads: Breakout or Pullback?

56
XAU/USD Multi-Timeframe Analysis

- 15-Minute Chart (Intraday Perspective):

- The 15-minute chart highlights a series of Breaks of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), signaling dynamic shifts in short-term momentum.

- The latest CHoCH at the top suggests a potential exhaustion in the upward move, with sellers gaining temporary control.

- Key Levels:

- Support: $2,645
- Resistance: $2,656

- Conclusion: Expect consolidation or a slight pullback before any continuation of the trend. Watch for a confirmed BOS or CHoCH for clearer direction.


- 1-Hour Chart (Mid-Term Analysis):

- The 1-hour timeframe shows a downtrend structure transitioning into consolidation, as BOS patterns indicate bearish dominance, but CHoCH signals hint at potential reversals.
- The price is currently consolidating within a range of $2,630 to $2,656, with no clear breakout yet.

- Key Levels:

- Immediate resistance: $2,656
- Support: $2,630

- Conclusion: A breakout above $2,656 would confirm bullish strength toward $2,670, while a breakdown below $2,630 may lead to a retest of $2,615 or lower.

- 4-Hour Chart (Macro Perspective):

- On the higher timeframe, XAU/USD displays macro bearish momentum, with BOS to the downside being dominant. However, the recent CHoCH highlights a potential shift into a bullish correction.

- The price remains capped by the $2,656 resistance zone, with significant support around $2,630.

- Key Levels:

- Support: $2,615
- Resistance: $2,670

- Conclusion: The market is at a decision point. A sustained move above $2,670 could trigger bullish continuation toward $2,700, while a failure may lead to further bearish retracement.


- Overall Outlook

- Gold is trading within a consolidation phase, with structural shifts (BOS and CHoCH) indicating indecision between buyers and sellers.

- Trade Plan:

- For bullish scenarios, wait for a confirmed breakout above $2,656-$2,670 for a potential target of $2,700.

- For bearish scenarios, look for rejection at resistance zones and breakdowns below $2,630 for short opportunities toward $2,615 or lower.
