XAUUSD H4 – Gold Trading Strategy Next Week(Liquidity-Based Levels)
Gold is heading into a key decision week as price returns to a major reaction area. The market is currently best traded by waiting for liquidity reactions at the highlighted zones, rather than chasing moves in the middle of the range.
1) H4 Technical Context
Price has recovered and is now retesting a key pivot region around the 4.45xx area.
The chart shows clear supply zones overhead, while the 4445–4449 zone stands out as the highest-probability buying reaction area.
If price holds this buying zone, the preferred path is continuation higher toward the upper supply region near 4632–4637.
2) Key Levels to Watch
Main BUY zone: 4445 – 4449
Liquidity confluence area with strong probability of bullish reaction if structure remains intact.
Mid resistance: 4550 – 4560
A reaction zone where buyers may take partial profits and where price behavior matters.
Target SELL zone (scalping): 4632 – 4637
Strong overhead supply. Ideal for short-term selling reactions if price rallies sharply and shows rejection.
Strong support: around 4408
If the main buying zone fails, this level becomes the next key area that defines whether the pullback deepens.
3) PRIORITY SCENARIO – Main Plan (Buy with Structure)
Next week’s primary strategy remains trend-following, but execution should be level-based.
Buy area: 4445–4449
Best confirmation: H4/H1 candles hold the zone and close back above it without a strong breakdown.
Upside expectations: push toward 4550–4560 first, then extend toward 4632–4637.
4) ALTERNATIVE SCENARIO – If the Buy Zone Fails
If price breaks 4445–4449 cleanly and accepts below it:
A deeper correction can develop toward 4408 and potentially lower.
In that case, the plan is to wait for a clear reaction at support before looking for the next long setup.
5) SELL Scenario – Short-Term Only
Selling is not the primary strategy. It is only considered as a short-term scalp at premium supply.
Sell zone: 4632–4637
Only sell on clear rejection signals such as strong wicks, failed breakout, or a lower-timeframe structure shift.
6) Weekly Summary
Focus zone: 4445–4449 is the key decision area
Hold above it → prefer BUY toward 4550–4560 and 4632–4637
Lose it → watch 4408 for deeper correction reaction
Sell ideas are scalps only at the upper supply zone

XAUUSD (D1) – Weekly OutlookLana focuses on buying discounted zones, preparing for a possible ABC correction 💛
Quick summary
Higher timeframe (Daily): The main uptrend remains intact and structurally strong
Elliott Wave: Gold likely completed Wave 5, with a potential ABC corrective phase ahead to complete the cycle
Liquidity: Christmas week and year-end positioning may cause thin liquidity and irregular price movements
Plan: No chasing. Lana waits for price to reach key buy zones at 4250 and 4205
Market context for next week
Next week’s trading activity may slow down due to the Christmas holiday and preparations for the year-end. Thinner liquidity often leads to sharp, irregular moves and liquidity sweeps. At the same time, ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to support gold, while USD weakness adds further tailwinds. Because of this, Lana prefers a zone-based approach rather than trying to predict exact tops or bottoms.
Technical view on D1
On the Daily chart, gold still shows a solid bullish foundation. However, from an Elliott Wave perspective, price appears to be finishing the final impulsive wave (Wave 5). After a Wave 5 completion, a corrective ABC structure is common, allowing the market to rebalance before the next major move.
For Lana, a correction is not bearish—it’s an opportunity to look for higher-probability buys at discounted levels instead of chasing price at elevated zones.
Key levels Lana is watching
1) Primary buy zone: 4250
This level previously acted as a strong resistance and was decisively broken. Liquidity remains concentrated in this area, making it a favorable zone to look for buying opportunities if price pulls back.
2) Long-term buy zone: 4205 (POC from Volume Profile)
This is a major Point of Control where price previously accumulated heavily. If the ABC correction extends deeper, this zone becomes a key area for longer-term positioning.
Trading plan for next week (overview)
Early in the week, Lana will observe lower timeframes to confirm entries.
Priority is given to pullbacks toward 4250; deeper corrections may offer opportunities near 4205.
With thin holiday liquidity, Lana plans to:
reduce position size
keep stop losses clearly defined
scale out profits once price reacts from the zones
Lana’s note 🌿
Holiday weeks often bring fewer clean setups but more unexpected liquidity grabs. Lana will stay patient, trade selectively, and focus only on price levels that truly make sense.
