GOLD H1 – Awaiting CPI Data for Next Big Move🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader (12/11) 📈 Market Context Gold remains in a controlled retracement phase after a strong impulsive leg last week. The market is now consolidating within a defined 1H range, showing clear reactions near short-term EMAs as traders await today’s U.S. CPI release, a key driver of intraday volatility. • A higher-than-expected CPI could reignite USD strength and push gold toward the discount zone. • A softer CPI print may trigger a renewed push into the premium zone, inviting liquidity grabs above 4200. Institutional flows remain balanced between short-term profit-taking and position building ahead of the inflation print, suggesting engineered liquidity sweeps before the real move unfolds. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: Market structure is still bullish but showing distribution signs at the top of the range. • Premium Zone: 4201–4199 aligns with unmitigated supply — a prime area for potential sell-side reaction if CPI sparks a bullish liquidity sweep. • Discount Zone: 4083–4081 overlaps with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and sits just above EMA100 — an ideal re-accumulation area for institutional buys. • Liquidity: Equal lows near 4080 and equal highs near 4200 make both sides vulnerable to engineered stop-hunts before direction is confirmed. 🔴 Sell Setup (Premium Reaction Zone) • Entry: 4,201 – 4,199 • Stop-Loss: 4,210 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4,140 (first liquidity pocket) → 4,102 (mid-range equilibrium) → 4,083 (discount zone confluence) 📌 Only valid if CPI causes a liquidity sweep into premium, followed by M5–M15 bearish BOS confirmation. 🟢 Buy Setup (Discount Reaction Zone) • Entry: 4,081 – 4,083 • Stop-Loss: 4,074 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4,102 → 4,140 → 4,199 📌 Only valid if price sweeps 4080 liquidity and reclaims structure with bullish BOS on M15 timeframe. ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Wait for CPI-induced volatility before executing any setup. • Avoid mid-range trades between 4100–4140 — this is equilibrium noise. • Reduce size pre-news; volatility spikes can trigger premature stops. • Scale partials at each liquidity pocket and trail stop-losses accordingly. ✅ Summary Gold is consolidating ahead of CPI, with dual liquidity zones clearly defined: • Sell zone: 4201–4199 (premium reaction area) • Buy zone: 4083–4081 (discount re-entry area) The market is likely to hunt one side of liquidity before revealing true intent. Traders should remain patient, trade from extremes, and align entries with confirmed structure shifts. FOLLOW @Ryan_TitanTrader for real-time SMC updates ⚡

GOLD H1 – Gold Reacts to Mixed U.S. Inflation Data🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader (14/11) 📈 Market Context Gold continues to trade within a balanced range as investors digest the latest U.S. inflation data. The CPI report showed cooling price pressures, while producer prices (PPI) are due soon — both shaping market sentiment toward the Fed’s December rate outlook. • Softer inflation supports a bullish bias if gold holds the discount zone. • Renewed USD strength could trigger short setups from premium liquidity zones. Institutional flows suggest engineered liquidity hunts before a decisive move resumes. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Structure) • Structure: Gold remains in a short-term bullish correction after a strong sell-off, with recent ChoCH signaling a possible re-accumulation phase. • Premium Zone: 4300–4298 aligns with a previous unmitigated supply and internal liquidity — ideal for sell-side reactions. • Discount Zone: 4144–4142 overlaps with the last bullish OB and EMA100 area — a potential demand zone for continuation. • Liquidity: Resting buy-side liquidity sits above 4300, while inducement below 4140 could lure early longs before true accumulation. 🔴 Sell Setup (Premium Reaction Zone) • Entry: 4,300 – 4,298 • Stop-Loss: 4,310 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4,178 (previous BOS zone) → 4,144 (discount retest) → 4,110 (deep liquidity pocket) 📌 Valid only after a liquidity sweep and bearish BOS confirmation on M5–M15. 🟢 Buy Setup (Discount Reaction Zone) • Entry: 4,144 – 4,142 • Stop-Loss: 4,135 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4,185 (minor structure high) → 4,210 (liquidity void fill) → 4,300 (final premium reaction zone) 📌 Valid if price reclaims structure with bullish BOS confirmation. ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Stay patient until U.S. PPI data confirms direction. • Avoid trades between 4175–4250 (low R/R consolidation area). • Scale out partials near liquidity pools and trail stops after confirmation. • Maintain disciplined risk exposure under 2%. Summary Gold is in an engineered equilibrium phase — liquidity pools are forming at both extremes. • Sell zone: 4300–4298 (premium reaction zone) • Buy zone: 4144–4142 (discount accumulation zone) Expect manipulation around mid-range levels before a clean directional move unfolds. 📍Follow @Ryan_TitanTrader for more Smart Money updates ⚡

Gold H1 – Gold Awaits U.S. PPI Data After 5-Wave Completion🟡 XAUUSD – Elliott Wave Intraday Outlook | 14/11 📈 Elliott Wave Context Gold has completed a textbook 5-wave impulsive rally, peaking near 4250 before entering a corrective phase. The current retracement appears to be forming an ABC correction, with price now approaching the C-wave completion zone around 4145–4147. Today’s focus shifts to the upcoming U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) report — a crucial inflation indicator that may influence Fed policy expectations and short-term dollar momentum. • A hotter PPI print could strengthen USD and trigger a brief sell-off from premium zones. • A softer reading could weaken USD and fuel a renewed push from discount levels. 🔎 Wave Structure Breakdown (H1) • Wave 1 → Initial breakout from liquidity trap (~4070). • Wave 2 → Shallow retracement, respecting prior OB. • Wave 3 → Strong extension into new highs (~4220+). • Wave 4 → Sideways correction with internal liquidity grab. • Wave 5 → Final push to ~4250 — marking potential top. Now the market is tracing an A–B–C corrective structure, with wave C expected to finalize near the BUY ZONE 4145–4147 (SL 4138) before the next bullish leg resumes. Intraday Trade Zones (Elliott-Based) 🟩 BUY ZONE: 4145 – 4147 | SL 4138 Looking for completion of wave C and bullish reversal confirmation (BOS or mitigation from demand block). Targets: 4205 → 4230 → 4250 🟥 SELL ZONE: 4245 – 4243 | SL 4252 Scalp opportunity aligning with potential wave B retest or short-term overextension before larger correction. Targets: 4180 → 4150 📌 Summary Gold remains technically bullish after completing a 5-wave structure but is currently digesting gains through a corrective ABC phase. The 4145–4147 discount zone serves as a high-probability wave C completion area, especially if PPI data softens USD momentum. Wait for structure confirmation before entering, and monitor the PPI release as it may dictate whether gold extends higher or deepens its correction.

GOLD H1 – Gold Awaits U.S. PPI Data for Directional Clarity🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader (13/11) 📈 Market Context Gold is consolidating after a strong impulsive leg, with intraday traders now focused on the upcoming U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) release — a key inflation metric that often shapes Fed expectations. • A hot PPI reading could strengthen the USD and trigger a sell-off from premium levels. • A softer print may weaken the dollar, encouraging another liquidity grab above 4250. Institutional order flow shows potential for engineered liquidity sweeps around both extremes before the next directional push. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Structure) • Structure: Still bullish overall, but showing early distribution near the 4250 handle. • Premium Zone: 4255–4253 aligns with an unmitigated supply and prior buy-side liquidity pool — a prime short setup if price reacts after a liquidity sweep. • Discount Zone: 4168–4166 sits within the recent FVG and above EMA100 — a valid area for re-accumulation and continuation if price corrects deeper. • Liquidity: Equal highs at 4255 and lows near 4156 signal potential stop-hunt traps before a decisive move. 🔴 Sell Setup (Premium Reaction Zone) • Entry: 4,255 – 4,253 • Stop-Loss: 4,265 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4,182 (previous BOS zone) → 4,148 (mid-range equilibrium) → 4,110 (discount reaction zone) 📌 Valid only if price sweeps buy-side liquidity and confirms bearish BOS on M5–M15. 🟢 Buy Setup (Discount Reaction Zone) • Entry: 4,166 – 4,168 • Stop-Loss: 4,156 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4,210 (short-term liquidity pocket) → 4,248 (imbalance fill zone) → 4,255 (final liquidity target) 📌 Valid only if price mitigates the FVG and reclaims structure with bullish BOS confirmation. ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Wait for PPI volatility before entering trades. • Avoid trading mid-range (4180–4210) – low R/R zone. • Scale out partials near liquidity points and trail stops post-confirmation. • Maintain disciplined risk: 1–2% max per setup. Summary Gold is in pre-news equilibrium, with both buy- and sell-side liquidity pools clearly defined: • Sell zone: 4255–4253 (premium reaction area) • Buy zone: 4168–4166 (discount re-entry area) Expect engineered liquidity grabs before a decisive move — patience and structure confirmation remain key. 📍Follow @Ryan_TitanTrader for real-time Smart Money updates ⚡

Gold H1 – 5-Wave Complete Amid Fed Rate Hopes & Dollar Rebound🟡 XAUUSD – Elliott Wave Intraday Outlook | 12/11 | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Elliott Wave Context Gold appears to have completed a clear 5-wave impulsive advance on the H1 chart, with wave 5 reaching into the premium zone around 4,149–4,151. Concurrently, macro news is supporting bullion: weaker US labour data and rising expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut have bolstered safe-haven flows. Now price is retracing from the highs, suggesting that a classic corrective ABC sequence may be forming. 🔎 Technical Breakdown (Wave Structure) • Wave 1: Initiation rally from ~3,965 • Wave 2: Shallow pull-back to near ~4,000 • Wave 3: Strong impulse past ~4,080 → extended • Wave 4: Controlled correction holding trend-line support • Wave 5: Final push topping near ~4,149–4,151 (SELL ZONE) With the 5-wave impulse complete, the market is likely shifting into: Wave A → bear leg Wave B → corrective rebound Wave C → deeper decline 📉 Expected Elliott Wave Path (ABC) Wave A projection: • Likely break below the 2-4 trend-line • First reaction zone: ~4,081 (Fibonacci 0.382) • Main downside target: ~4,059 (BUY ZONE) Wave B projection: • Corrective rebound toward either ~4,108 or ~4,149 (upper premium) Wave C projection: • Key downside targets: o ~4,037 (Fibo 0.618) o ~4,025–4,010 (trend-line support) Wave C often equals Wave A in length → aligns with ~4,059 zone for potential cycle end. Intraday Trade Plan (Elliott-based) Scenario 1 – SELL the corrective wave (A–B–C) Preferred strategy given completed impulse. Entry: After H1 candle breaks below 2-4 trend-line, or on Wave B retest into ~4,149–4,151 (SELL ZONE) Stop Loss: Above wave-5 high: ~4,155 Take Profit zones: • TP1: ~4,081 • TP2: ~4,059 • TP3: ~4,037 Scenario 2 – BUY only if correction invalidates If gold refuses to break the 2-4 trend-line and pushes above ~4,155 → wave 5 may extend. Entry: Above ~4,155 SL: ~4,149 TP: ~4,175–4,200 📌 Summary For 12/11, gold has completed a textbook 5-wave impulse and is now ripe for a corrective ABC pattern. With macro forces (Fed rate-cut expectations, weaker dollar) providing backdrop, the highest-probability trade is to sell the Wave B retest and ride Wave C toward deeper support near ~4,059. Stay patient, let the structure confirm the impulse → correction transition before committing.

Gold H1 – End of Wave 5: Is a Corrective ABC Coming?⚡ XAUUSD – Elliott Wave Intraday Outlook | 11/11 📈 Elliott Wave Context Gold has completed a clean 5-wave impulsive structure on the H1 timeframe, with Wave 5 pushing into the premium zone above 4130. Price now shows early exhaustion at the highs, suggesting the market is preparing to transition into a corrective ABC phase. A confirmed reversal signal will be: ✅ H1 close below the Wave 2–4 trendline → confirming the start of Wave A. 🔎 Technical Breakdown (Wave Structure) • Wave 1: Initial rally from 3964 • Wave 2: Shallow pullback near 3985 • Wave 3: Strong impulsive breakout toward 4070+ • Wave 4: Mid-cycle correction holding structure • Wave 5: Final push topping around 4130–4140 (current swing high) The 5-wave impulse is now completed → market likely moves into A–B–C correction. 📉 Expected Elliott Wave Path (ABC) Wave A • First levels: 4105 (Fibo 0.236) • Main target zone: 4078 (Fibo 0.382) Wave B • Corrective rebound toward o 4105, or o 4115–4120 Wave C • Strongest leg of correction • Ideal target zones: o 4035 (Fibo 0.618 retracement of the full 1–5 impulse) o 4004 (Fibo 0.786 retracement) • Wave C often ≈ Wave A → aligns with 4035–4004 📌 Intraday Trade Plan (Elliott-Based) ✅ Scenario 1 – SELL the upcoming correction (Preferred) Entry: • After H1 candle closes below the 2–4 trendline, or wait for a Wave B retest into 4105–4120.

Entry: above 4145 SL: 4120 TP: 4170–4200 ✅ Summary Gold has finished a textbook 5-wave impulse and is now likely entering a corrective ABC structure. The highest-probability opportunity today is to sell the Wave B retracement and target deeper corrective zones at 4035–4004.

Gold 1H – Is This Pump Temporary or the Start of a Bigger Move?🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold extended its bullish leg overnight, driven by a sharp upside displacement following a clean ChoCH on the H1 structure. However, the impulsive rally is now pushing deep into premium territory, where higher-timeframe supply begins to re-enter the picture. Market sentiment remains cautious ahead of U.S. consumer confidence data and upcoming comments from several Fed officials. • A hawkish tone could strengthen the dollar intraday, making the current rally vulnerable to a pullback. • A neutral or dovish signal may allow gold to sweep higher liquidity before forming its next decisive move. Price is currently tapping into resting buy-side liquidity above 4060–4070, with the next pool sitting just beneath the 4090 supply zone, making this an ideal location for short-term reversals. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: H1 bias remains bullish after the major ChoCH, but price is now entering an exhaustion phase as it reaches unmitigated supply. • Premium Zone: 4090–4088 aligns with the freshest H1 supply, formed right before the displacement — a prime location for a short-term reversal. • Liquidity Sweep: The candles show aggressive wicks into higher liquidity, suggesting the market may engineer one final sweep into 4090 before rotating downward. • Discount Zone: 3974–3976 lines up with unmitigated demand and sits directly below the previous accumulation range — an ideal discount level for continuation buys if price retraces. 🔴 Sell Setup (High-Probability Reversal) • Entry: 4090 – 4088 • Stop-Loss: 4100 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4040 (first liquidity pocket) → 4005 (return to structure) → 3976 (discount zone & demand confluence) 🟢 Buy Setup (Demand Reaction Setup) • Entry: 3974 – 3976 • Stop-Loss: 3967 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4005 → 4040 → 4080 (Only valid if price performs a liquidity sweep into 3976 and prints a clean M15 ChoCH.) ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Avoid entering early inside the premium zone — wait for bearish confirmation (M5–M15 BOS). • The demand at 3974–3976 is strong but only valid once liquidity beneath the range has been fully taken. • Do not chase buys near current levels; price is overextended and has no discount alignment. • Partial profits should be secured at each liquidity point, with stops trailed using structural highs/lows. • Intraday bias remains bullish-to-neutral, but current price is at an extreme, making shorts more favorable short-term. ✅ Summary Gold is reaching into a major premium zone near 4090, where a short-term reversal becomes highly probable. The 4090–4088 supply provides a clean, high-quality SMC continuation-short setup, while the 3974–3976 demand zone remains the strongest location for reactive long positions. Stay patient — today’s movement will likely determine whether the recent pump is temporary or the beginning of a broader structural shift. FOLLOW RYAN_TITANTRADER for daily SMC setups ⚡

Gold 4H – Key Liquidity Zones Ahead of US PMI & Fed Commentary🥇 XAUUSD – Weekly Smart Money Outlook | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold continues to consolidate within a tight 4H range as traders prepare for a week influenced by U.S. PMI releases, Fed speeches, and shifting rate-cut expectations. Mixed economic signals — including softer labour data but resilient manufacturing prints — have kept gold trapped between supply overhead and stacked demand levels below. Institutional flows remain cautious, with markets waiting for clarity on the Fed’s stance. This uncertainty often fuels liquidity-driven sweeps, making this week especially favourable for SMC-style setups. Short-term volatility is expected as price interacts with major liquidity pools on both ends of the range. 🔎 Technical Analysis (4H / SMC View) • Price is moving within a well-defined range structure, with repeated liquidity grabs on both sides indicating accumulation by larger players. • The latest 4H ChoCH signals continued hesitation from buyers near the mid-range, hinting that the market may engineer another sweep before committing to a directional leg. • A significant Premium Supply Zone at 4154–4152 sits just above recent equal highs — an attractive area for liquidity hunts followed by potential short-term distribution. • Conversely, the Discount Demand Zone at 3907–3909 aligns with previous structural reaction levels and sits below a liquidity shelf, making it an ideal zone for re-accumulation. • Expect engineered stop-hunts around mid-range liquidity (4000–4016) before a stronger move develops. 🟢 Buy Zone: 3907–3909 SL: 3900 TP targets: 3978 → 4003 → 4016 → 4125 Rationale: • Discount zone within the current 4H range • Liquidity resting below the structure lows • Potential accumulation before the next bullish impulse 🔴 Sell Zone: 4154–4152 SL: 4161 TP targets: 4080 → 4016 → 3978 → 3920 Rationale: • Premium supply positioned above equal-high liquidity • Likely area for a sweep before corrective downside • Confluence with previous 4H structure rejection ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Wait for M15 ChoCH or BOS confirmation inside each zone before entering. • Expect liquidity manipulation around 4000–4016, especially during US session opens. • Avoid entries 10–15 minutes before major Fed or PMI releases to limit spread expansion. • Scale partial profits at each structural target to lock in gains while letting runners play out. ✅ Summary Gold remains in a controlled 4H range with clear institutional footprints above and below the current price. Smart Money is likely to engineer a move into either the 4150 supply or the 3900 demand before choosing its next major direction. Both setups offer high-probability opportunities when combined with intraday confirmations. Stay patient, wait for liquidity sweeps, and respect structure. Premium sells remain valid at 4154–4152, while discounted buys are favoured at 3907–3909. 🔔 FOLLOW RYAN_TITANTRADER for daily SMC setups ⚡

Gold 1H – Pullback Expected as USD Softens After Jobless Claims🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold is trading within a corrective structure today as the U.S. dollar weakens slightly following higher-than-expected Jobless Claims. Market sentiment remains mixed ahead of upcoming Fed speeches, which could provide clues about December policy expectations. • A more hawkish tone could trigger a deeper downside move toward unfilled discount zones. • Conversely, any dovish signals may push gold into a short-term liquidity grab before resuming its corrective trend. Liquidity remains concentrated near the $4,030 area, where price may tap into resting buy-side liquidity before forming the next bearish leg. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: Current bias shows corrective bearish intent following recent ChoCH → BOS sequence on H1. • Premium Zone: The 4030–4028 region aligns with an unmitigated H1 supply — ideal for continuation shorts. • Liquidity Sweep: Price may reach 4030 to sweep early breakout buyers before confirming downside continuation. • Discount Zone: Strong demand sits at 3932–3934, overlapping with previous bullish displacement and unmitigated demand. 🔴 Sell Setup • Entry: 4030 – 4028 • Stop-Loss: 4040 • Take-Profit Targets: → 3980 → 3964 → 3934 (major demand zone) 🟢 Buy Setup (Countertrend Reaction) • Entry: 3932 – 3934 • Stop-Loss: 3925 • Take-Profit Targets: → 3964→ 3995 → 4020 (Only valid if liquidity sweep and bullish reaction occur at the demand zone) ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Wait for M15 BOS/ChoCH confirmation at both zones to avoid premature entries. • Avoid trading directly at the minor support around 3964 — it is not a valid SMC entry zone. • Prioritize the sell setup; intraday bias remains corrective-bearish within a broader range. • Secure partial profits at the first liquidity target and trail stops according to structure. ✅ Summary Gold is likely to seek premium liquidity near 4030 before resuming its corrective move lower. The 4030–4028 supply area offers a clean continuation-short entry, while 3932–3934 remains the strongest discount zone for reactive long setups. Stay adaptable — the market maintains a mild bearish tone while waiting for further Fed guidance. FOLLOW RYAN_TITANTRADER for daily SMC setups ⚡

Gold 1H – Bearish Reaction After Consecutive Gains🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context After several sessions of steady gains, gold is showing signs of exhaustion as U.S. Treasury yields stabilize and traders reassess the Federal Reserve’s next move. The market’s focus today is on U.S. housing data and Fed officials’ remarks, which could shape expectations for the December policy outlook. • A hawkish tone from policymakers may strengthen the dollar and pressure gold lower. • Conversely, softer remarks could briefly trigger buying around key discount zones, but the overall tone remains corrective after the recent rally. Market liquidity is concentrated near the ₹4,230 area — where price may tap into unmitigated supply before continuing its bearish leg. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: The overall bias has shifted bearish following consecutive ChoCH and BOS formations. • Premium Zone: The 4,230–4,228 area aligns with an H1 order block and previous liquidity pool — a prime zone for short re-entry. • Liquidity Sweep: The recent upside push toward 4,230 may sweep late buyers before the next bearish leg unfolds. • Discount Zone: Short-term liquidity may rest around 4,080–4,100, which aligns with previous sell-side imbalance (SSI) and acts as an intraday reaction zone. 🔴 Sell Setup • Entry: 4,230 – 4,228 • Stop-Loss: 4,240 • Take-Profit Targets: 4,100 → 4,080 → 4,050+ 🟢 Buy Scalp Setup (Short-Term Countermove) • Entry: 4,081 – 4,083 • Stop-Loss: 4,074 • Take-Profit Targets: 4,100 → 4,115 (Only valid if liquidity sweep confirms reaction within discount zone) ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Confirm M15 BOS/ChoCH before entry — avoid blind orders during news. • Reduce position size for scalp entries; primary directional bias remains bearish. • Lock partial profits near first liquidity targets and trail stops as structure confirms continuation. ✅ Summary Gold faces near-term correction pressure after multiple bullish sessions. The 4,230–4,228 zone offers a clean premium OB entry for continuation shorts, while reactive buyers may scalp intraday from 4,081 if liquidity sweeps occur. Stay adaptive — today’s sentiment is short-term bearish within a larger range-bound structure. FOLLOW RYAN_TITANTRADER for daily SMC setups ⚡

Gold 1H – Can Gold Hold Above 4247 as Powell Takes the Stage?XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold holds firm near ₹4,230, with traders cautiously awaiting U.S. Retail Sales data and Fed Chair Powell’s remarks later today. After a series of softer inflation reports, market sentiment has tilted mildly dovish — yet the U.S. dollar remains steady as investors hesitate to price in early rate cuts. The Fed’s tone today will be critical: a hawkish Powell could trigger short-term profit-taking on gold, while any dovish signals may reignite safe-haven bids. Expect choppy intraday movement with liquidity sweeps around key zones before a confirmed directional move emerges. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • The structure remains bullish, confirmed by previous Breaks of Structure (BOS) and a Change of Character (ChoCH) earlier in the week. • Price is now approaching a premium supply zone at 4247–4249, where potential short-term sell reactions could appear before retracement. • Below, the discount demand zone at 4184–4186 aligns with prior BOS support and acts as a high-probability reaccumulation area. • If price revisits the buy zone and forms bullish confirmation on M15, continuation toward new highs around 4260+ is favored. 🔴 Sell Setup: 4247 – 4249 SL: 4255 – 4257 TP targets: 4210 → 4195 🟢 Buy Setup: 4184 – 4186 SL: 4174 TP targets: 4210 → 4245 → 4260+ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 BOS/ChoCH confirmation before executing either setup. • Watch for volatility spikes around Powell’s speech and U.S. Retail Sales release — spreads may widen. • Consider partial profits at intra-day liquidity points and trail stops once structure confirms. ✅ Summary XAUUSD maintains its bullish structure but may face a liquidity sweep above 4247–4249 before a deeper retracement into 4184–4186. Institutional activity could drive accumulation near the discount zone if macro data supports dovish sentiment. The intraday bias remains “Buy the Dip”, with tactical sells possible at premium resistance for short-term scalps.

Gold 1H – Slight Correction or Bullish Reaccumulation Ahead?XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold extends its rebound near ₹4 250 as traders weigh the recent uptick in U.S. Treasury yields against growing expectations of a softer Federal Reserve stance. After the latest mixed U.S. economic data, markets are leaning toward a mildly dovish outlook — rate-cut bets for early 2026 are gaining traction, while the dollar remains steady. Today’s focus centers on U.S. housing-starts and jobless-claims data, which could steer short-term volatility. A stronger-than-expected report may trigger temporary selling pressure on gold, while weaker figures could revive safe-haven demand and extend the rally toward ₹4 380 +. Expect liquidity hunts before any clear directional move, as institutional players refine positions near the week’s range extremes. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Market structure remains bullish, with previous Breaks of Structure (BOS) confirming continuation after the earlier accumulation phase. • A short-term Change of Character (ChoCH) signals corrective movement — likely a liquidity sweep before the next bullish leg. • Liquidity resting below ₹4 200 has already been taken, aligning with the discount zone around ₹4 196 – ₹4 198. • A potential re-accumulation is forming; buyers may look for confirmation (M15 BOS/ChoCH) inside this demand zone. • Upside liquidity targets cluster near ₹4 375 – ₹4 380, coinciding with a premium supply zone where sellers might re-enter. 🔴 Sell Setup Entry: 4378 – 4376 Stop-Loss: 4386 Take-Profit Targets: 4325 → 4260 🟢 Buy Setup Entry: 4196 – 4198 Stop-Loss: 4190 Take-Profit Targets: 4250 → 4370 → 4380 + ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for lower-timeframe BOS/ChoCH confirmation before execution. • Be cautious around U.S. macro data releases — spreads and volatility can widen temporarily. • Use partial take-profits at nearby liquidity zones and trail stops once market structure confirms continuation. ✅ Summary Gold maintains its bullish bias above ₹4 200 after sweeping liquidity. A short-term correction could retest ₹4 196 – ₹4 198 for fresh buy entries, while the broader trend remains upward. Only a clean structural break below ₹4 190 would invalidate the bullish continuation scenario. FOLLOW RYAN FOR MORE USEFUL TRADING IDEAS!!!

Gold 1H – Bullish Rebound After Strong Correction🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold is attempting to rebound near $4,320 after a sharp correction earlier this week, as traders weigh the recent pullback in U.S. Treasury yields and renewed expectations of a dovish Federal Reserve tone. Markets are now positioning ahead of key U.S. housing and manufacturing data, which could shape short-term sentiment for both the dollar and real yields. • Softer economic numbers may reinforce the case for policy easing in early 2026, supporting gold’s safe-haven appeal. • Conversely, stronger data could momentarily pressure XAUUSD, yet the broader uptrend remains intact amid central-bank accumulation and geopolitical tension. Expect a liquidity-driven environment, with price potentially sweeping lower before reclaiming bullish momentum. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: Overall bias remains bullish following consecutive Breaks of Structure (BOS) and a confirmed Change of Character (ChoCH) indicating corrective retracement. • Discount Zone: The $4,270–$4,272 demand area sits within the discount zone of the recent range (swing low to 4454 high), ideal for re-accumulation. • Liquidity Sweep: Recent wicks near $4,300 suggest liquidity has been collected, potentially setting up for another bullish push. • Premium Zone: Upside liquidity clusters near $4,454–$4,452, aligning with a premium supply area where short-term selling may appear. 🔴 Sell Setup • Entry: 4454 – 4452 • Stop-Loss: 4463 • Take-Profit Targets: 4400 → 4330 🟢 Buy Setup • Entry: 4270 – 4272 • Stop-Loss: 4260 • Take-Profit Targets: 4340 → 4380 → 4450 + ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Wait for M15 BOS/ChoCH confirmation before triggering entries. • Avoid entries during high-volatility windows around U.S. data releases. • Secure partial profits near intermediate liquidity zones, trail stops after BOS confirmation. ✅ Summary Gold maintains a bullish re-accumulation structure following a healthy correction. A retest into the discount zone around $4,270 offers potential long entries targeting the premium zone near $4,450+. Only a decisive break below $4,260 would invalidate the intraday bullish scenario.

Markets Brace for U.S. Retail Sales & Fed Volatility XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold prices hover near ₹4,190 after an early-week rally as traders brace for U.S. Retail Sales data and a new round of Federal Reserve speeches later today. Recent gains were fueled by softer inflation readings, yet the dollar remains resilient amid hawkish undertones from Fed officials. Markets are now balancing between expectations of slower growth and persistent rate-cut caution. A stronger-than-expected Retail Sales print could pressure gold temporarily, but any dovish signal from Fed speakers may quickly restore bullish momentum. Expect liquidity hunts on both sides before a confirmed direction forms. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure remains bullish after multiple Breaks of Structure (BOS) and a recent Change of Character (ChoCH) confirmation. • Price is approaching the Premium Zone (4211–4209) — a potential liquidity sweep area where short-term sellers may react. • Below, the H1 FVG Buy Zone (4145–4149) offers a discount entry aligned with recent BOS support and previous mitigation points. • Maintaining a bullish bias while awaiting clean reaction within the FVG zone is key for continuation toward new highs. 🔴 Sell Setup: 4211 – 4209 SL: 4218 TP targets: 4190 → 4175 → 4155 🟢 Buy Setup: 4145 – 4147 SL: 4138 TP targets: 4170 → 4190 → 4220+ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 ChoCH/BOS confirmation before entry to avoid false breaks. • Expect high volatility around Retail Sales and Fed remarks — spread widening is likely. • Partial take-profits near intra-day liquidity points are recommended. ✅ Summary XAUUSD remains bullish on structure but faces a potential liquidity grab around 4211–4209 before retracing into the H1 FVG buy zone (4145–4149). Smart money may seek to accumulate long positions after a controlled pullback, especially if Fed commentary echoes a slower policy tightening path. Intraday bias leans Buy the Dip, with caution around macro-driven volatility spikes.

Gold 1H – Price Reaction Ahead of U.S. Retail Sales & Fed RemarkXAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold is trading around the ₹4,110 mark, consolidating after a strong impulsive rally earlier this week. Traders are now shifting focus to U.S. Retail Sales data and a series of Federal Reserve remarks due later today — both key drivers that could influence near-term expectations for the next rate decision. After last week’s soft inflation signals, gold initially extended higher, but rising Treasury yields and cautious sentiment ahead of today’s macro releases have slowed momentum. Any hawkish Fed tone or stronger consumer spending data could weigh on XAUUSD, triggering a liquidity sweep from the premium zones before the next accumulation phase begins. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure shows a confirmed BOS on lower timeframes, signaling the end of the previous impulsive leg. • Price currently sits within a Mitigation Zone (4117–4110), reacting to prior imbalance after a clean sweep of internal liquidity. • The Premium Liquidity Zone (4217–4215) aligns with a Rejection Block and is likely to act as a short-term Sell Zone. • Below, the 4056–4058 area marks a Buy-Side Support, overlapping with a previous ChoCH and internal discount OB. • Expect a short-term sell reaction from premium zones before a possible bullish mitigation bounce off support. 🔴 Sell Setup: 4217–4215 SL: 4224 TP targets: 4200 → 4175 → 4160 🟢 Buy Setup: 4056–4058 SL: 4050 TP targets: 4070 → 4090 → 4100+ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 ChoCH / BOS confirmation before executing either setup. • Be cautious during Fed remarks — volatility spikes are common around liquidity levels. • If price reacts impulsively from 4217 with displacement, partial shorts are favored. • Conversely, if 4056 holds and forms clean bullish structure, it could serve as the base for the next expansion leg. ✅ Summary Gold is likely to engineer a liquidity grab in the premium zone (4217–4215) before retracing into the mitigation area near 4056–4058, where smart money may accumulate long positions. The day’s direction will hinge on how markets interpret upcoming U.S. Retail Sales data and Fed tone — expect volatility and false breaks before the true directional move forms.

Gold 1H – Potential Liquidity Sweep Before Fed SpeechesXAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold remains steady near ₹4,065, as traders eye upcoming U.S. PPI data and Fed officials’ speeches later today for new guidance on the inflation outlook. The recent rise in Treasury yields has slightly capped gold’s upside momentum, but underlying safe-haven demand persists amid ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty. If the PPI print shows softer inflation, gold could attract renewed buying; however, a hotter reading may spark another liquidity sweep lower before any sustained rally. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • ChoCH confirmed at 4060+, showing potential exhaustion in the current short-term uptrend. • Price tapped the premium zone (4080–4078), aligning with previous liquidity and imbalance — ideal for a short-term sell setup. • A BOS formed at 4017, opening the way for retracement toward the discount zone (3999–3997). • The 3997–3999 area is a strong demand zone, overlapping with a prior ChoCH and liquidity void — a potential reversal area for bulls. • Expect a liquidity grab at 3990 before a bullish reaction if structure holds. 🔴 Sell Setup: 4080–4078 SL: 4087 TP targets: 4040 → 4015 → 4000 🟢 Buy Setup: 3999–3997 SL: 3990 TP targets: 4035 → 4060 → 4100+ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 ChoCH / BOS confirmation before triggering entries. • Avoid over-leverage during Fed speech hours — price may fake out around liquidity levels. • If price sweeps 4080 liquidity and rejects impulsively, partial short entries are favored. • Conversely, if 3997 holds firm with strong bullish structure, watch for re-entry confirmation to ride the next expansion. ✅ Summary Gold is currently playing within a premium-to-discount framework, as smart money may engineer a sweep of 4080 liquidity before driving price down toward 3997–3999 to collect buy-side orders. After that, a strong bullish reaction is expected from the demand zone if macro conditions (like soft PPI or dovish Fed tone) support it. Stay patient — structure confirmation is key before entering either direction.

Gold 4H – Bullish Setup Ahead of Fed & CPI Week🥇 XAUUSD – Weekly Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold continues to trade near the ₹4,000 mark as traders brace for a volatile week driven by the U.S. CPI release and Federal Reserve remarks. Recent Fed comments hint that policymakers are open to rate cuts if inflation cools further, boosting gold’s appeal as a hedge against policy easing and market uncertainty. Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East and strong central bank demand for gold continue to provide underlying bullish momentum, though short-term pullbacks remain likely. 🔎 Technical Analysis (4H / SMC Style) • The higher-timeframe BOS (Break of Structure) confirms that gold remains in a bullish market phase, with buyers defending every major retracement. • The current pullback could target the Potential Reaccumulation Zone around 3947, where liquidity may be swept before the next bullish impulse. • The Discount Demand Zone (3873–3875) aligns with strong 4H imbalance and previous structure support — ideal for a high-probability buy setup. • The Premium Supply Zone (4134–4132) is positioned as a liquidity target, where price may react for short-term corrections. 🟢 Buy Zone: 3873–3875 SL: 3866 TP targets: 3947 → 4020 → 4050 → 4130+ 🔴 Sell Zone: 4134–4132 SL: 4141 TP targets: 4080 → 4020 → 3950 ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for H1 ChoCH / BOS confirmation before executing positions. • Anticipate liquidity hunts near 3950–3970 ahead of CPI or Fed events. • Use partial scaling and secure partial profits once the structure confirms continuation. • Avoid entering during the first 15 minutes of major news releases to reduce slippage risk. ✅ Summary Gold remains structurally bullish on the 4H timeframe, with potential retracement opportunities offering premium entries. Smart Money may induce a liquidity sweep into 3873–3875 before pushing toward 4130+, where a reaction from institutional supply is likely. With major macro catalysts this week, traders should expect sharp volatility and manipulative moves before the next major leg develops. 🔔 Stay patient — let the market reveal its intent before entering. Premium buys remain favored above 3870 while watching for potential distribution near 4130.

Gold 1H – Price Reaction Ahead of U.S. CPI DataXAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader ________________________________________ 📈 Market Context Gold prices remain steady around $3,975, as traders await the U.S. CPI data release later today — a key event that could shape expectations for the Fed’s next rate move. If inflation cools, the dovish sentiment may boost gold’s safe-haven appeal; however, a hotter CPI print could trigger renewed dollar strength and short-term pressure on XAUUSD. Market volatility is expected to spike near the release, so liquidity grabs and false breaks are likely before the true direction forms. ________________________________________ 🔎 Technical Analysis (H1 / SMC Style) • The recent Change of Character (ChoCH) confirms short-term bearish control after breaking the bullish structure near 4017. • FVG Sell Zone (4015–4017) aligns with premium imbalance and prior liquidity — ideal for short setups if price retests that zone. • BOS to the downside was confirmed at 3960, showing sellers in control. • The discount zone 3908–3910 is a strong demand area where buyers may step in after liquidity sweep below 3910. ________________________________________ 🟢 Buy Zone: 3908–3910 SL: 3900 TP targets: 3920 → 3940 → 3960+ 🔴 Sell Zone: 4015–4017 SL: 4022 TP targets: 4000 → 3985 → 3970 ________________________________________ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 ChoCH / BOS confirmation before entering either side. • Use partial position sizing around CPI release — volatility may cause large wicks. • Watch for liquidity hunts near 3980–3990 before CPI, then confirm structure direction. ________________________________________ ✅ Summary Gold is consolidating below key resistance while awaiting U.S. inflation data. Smart money may engineer a liquidity sweep toward 4015–4017 (FVG) before resuming the bearish leg into 3910. However, if CPI comes in softer than expected, buyers may defend 3908–3910, sparking a recovery back toward 3980+. 🔔 Stay alert around CPI release hours — expect manipulative price action and confirm structure breaks before committing to directional trades.

Gold 1H – Watch for Liquidity Hunt Before Fed Minutes💎 XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold continues to shine past the ₹4,000 mark, driven by persistent safe-haven demand amid U.S. government shutdown risks and growing expectations for multiple Fed rate cuts this year. The upcoming Fed minutes will be a pivotal catalyst—if the tone leans dovish, gold could accelerate. But any hawkish surprises may provoke a short squeeze or shakeout. 🔎 Technical Analysis (H1 / SMC Style) • Structure around 4070–4068 marks a premium liquidity zone, likely a sweep or reversal point. • The lower band 3987–3989 serves as a discount zone / support base from which buyers may re-enter. • Watch for clean Breaks of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (ChoCH) on lower timeframes as confirmation. • Always expect potential liquidity sweeps before major news reactions. 🟢 Buy Zone: 3987–3989 SL: 3980 TP targets: 4000 → 4015 → 4025 → 4040+ 🔴 Sell Zone: 4068–4070 SL: 4077 TP targets: 4060 → 4045 → 4030 → 4015 ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Let the price show intent (reject / sweep / BOS) before jumping in. • On Fed minutes release, volatility may spike—use partial sizing and tighter trailing stops. • Avoid trading right at the release; look for reactions and structural confirmation. ✅ Summary Gold remains bullish structurally, but intraday plays hinge on how markets interpret the Fed minutes. Expect a liquidity sweep around 4068 before potential shorting, and a resilient support zone around 3987–3989 for re-entries aligned with the bigger bullish structure. 🔔 Stay alert for live updates and structure breaks around the Fed minutes to fine-tune entries.

The metal remains supported by persistent geopolitical risk and renewed central-bank demand, while Treasury yields hover near monthly lows.

Gold 1H – Pullback Expected Before Key CPI Data💎 XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold is stabilizing below the $4,000 mark as traders await this week’s U.S. CPI data and fresh remarks from the Federal Reserve. After a strong multi-week rally, the metal is showing early exhaustion near premium liquidity zones, where engineered pullbacks often occur before continuation. While the mid-term bias remains bullish, several analysts — including those from Citi and UBS — caution that gold could face short-term corrections if the dollar regains strength. The market continues to price in around a 65% probability of a December rate cut, keeping volatility elevated and sentiment uncertain. 🔎 Technical Analysis (H1/H4) Price has slipped slightly below the ascending channel after consecutive BOS signals, indicating a potential short-term retracement before resuming the uptrend. 🟢 Buy Zone: 3932–3930 (Breakout & FVG zone) – an ideal discount area where buyers may re-enter the market. 🔴 Sell Zone: 4009–4007 (Premium liquidity) – a key region for short setups if price rejects strongly. 🔑 Key Levels • BUY Zone: 3932–3930 (main support 3923) • SELL Zone: 4009–4007 (liquidity reaction area) • Psychological Resistance: 4000 💡 Trading Scenarios & Plan 🟢 BUY ZONE: 3932–3930 SL: 3923 TP: 3945 – 3955 – 3965 – 3975 – 3980+ 🔴 SELL ZONE: 4009–4007 SL: 4016 TP: 3995 – 3980 – 3975 – 3965 – 3955 ⚠️ Risk Management Notes The 4000–4010 region acts as a high-liquidity magnet, where false breakouts and engineered sweeps may occur before reversals. Wait for lower-timeframe confirmation (BOS or rejection candle) before entry. Avoid overleveraging ahead of CPI — expect volatility spikes and rapid shifts in sentiment. ✅ Summary Gold remains structurally bullish but vulnerable to intraday retracements near 4009–4007. Ryan_TitanTrader anticipates potential buy reactions from 3932–3930 and short-term rejections near 4009–4007. Holding above 3923 keeps the bullish outlook intact with upside targets toward 3970–3980. 🔔 Follow Ryan_TitanTrader for real-time updates, live setups, and advanced SMC insights as gold reacts to CPI data this week!
