GOLD TRAPPED BETWEEN LIQUIDITY ZONES – WAITING FOR SMART MONEY M🧭 DAILY TRADING PLAN – GOLD (XAU/USD)
Date: Oct 31, 2025
Main timeframe: M30 – H1
Strategy: SMC + Liquidity Grab + BOS/CHOCH Confirmation
🎯 Hook:
Gold is currently ranging between two key liquidity zones after a bullish BOS. Will price hunt the weak high or sweep the buy-side liquidity before the next leg?
🌐 MARKET CONTEXT
After a strong recovery from 3960 → 4040, price created a weak high with no significant displacement. The recent rejection from 4037–4039 suggests short-term supply pressure, but overall market structure remains bullish with multiple BOS confirmations.
Current structure shows a liquidity grab → retracement phase before continuation.
📈 TRADING PLAN
Scenario 1 – BUY setup (preferable)
Entry zone: 3996 – 3994
Confirmation: Bullish reaction / CHoCH on lower timeframe (M5–M15)
TP1: 4030
TP2: 4038 (liquidity above weak high)
SL: 3988 (≈ 6$ risk range)
Bias: Continuation bullish leg after mitigation
Alternative BUY zone (deep retracement):
Entry: 3960 – 3958
TP: 4030
SL: 3952
Use only if price sweeps lower liquidity.
Scenario 2 – SELL setup (counter-trade)
Entry zone: 4037 – 4039
Confirmation: M15 bearish CHoCH / rejection candle
TP1: 4010
TP2: 3995
SL: 4045 (≈ 6$ risk range)
Bias: Short-term sell before retest demand
🧩 SUMMARY
Market still shows bullish structure, so buy setups at demand zones are higher probability.
Sell setups should be quick scalps around the weak high, targeting intraday retracement.
