LiamTrading XAUUSD Scenario Today Fibo & Volume Profile AnalysisLiamTrading XAUUSD Scenario Today:Fibo & Volume Profile Analysis Gold, after testing the 375x zone, has shown clear signs of weakening. On the H1 chart, the price structure is forming an adjustment phase aligning with key Fibonacci and Volume Profile levels. This is the time when the market starts to “filter” liquidity, creating opportunities for both short sell orders and buy orders at strong support zones. Technical Analysis Fibonacci indicates the 0.786 – 1.0 zone around 3756–3758 coincides with strong resistance and FVG, with a high potential for a reversal. Volume Profile points out the POC area around 3735–3740, if breached, it will pave the way for deeper downward pressure. The confluence support zone of 0.618 fibo + large volume around 3688–3691 is suitable for scalping buy. Further, the area 3648–3651 is reinforced by VAL and the bottom of the volume profile, making it a strong long-term “Buy zone.” Trading Plan Reference Sell zone: 3756 – 3758, SL 3763, TP 3750 – 3748 – 3736 – 3710 – 3690 – 3655 Buy scalping: 3688 – 3691, SL 3685, TP 3701 – 3715 – 3728 Long-term Buy zone: 3648 – 3651, SL 3640, TP 3670 – 3688 – 3700 – 3718 – 3733 – 3755 In summary, gold is moving in accordance with the technical structure confirmed by Fibonacci and Volume Profile. Today's scenario prioritises observing reactions around the sell zone 3756–3758 to find short opportunities, and waiting to buy at value zones 369x and 365x for the recovery wave. This is my personal view on XAUUSD. If you want the fastest updates on the next gold scenarios, follow me and join the community to stay informed.

XAUUSD – Wolfe Waves continue on H4XAUUSD – Wolfe Waves continue on H4, price returns below trendline: prioritise correction scenario Hello Trader, Based on the Wolfe Waves structure on the H4 frame and current price behaviour, gold has returned to trading below the trendline, indicating a weakening short-term uptrend and paving the way for a downward correction before the market decides the next trend. The upper zone has created a clear “sell zone”; below, two defensive buy zones appear suitable for both scalping and medium-term. Main Technical Picture Wolfe Waves: wave 5 completes near resistance, then price falls back below the trendline — aligning with the correction scenario along Wolfe's target line 1–4. Trendline & price box zone: the close below the rising trendline indicates “acceptance” below; immediate resistance lies at the 375x–376x cluster (sell zone). Momentum: H4 MACD slows, histogram narrows → high probability of a pullback – retest before a new decision. Detailed Trading Scenarios 1) Sell according to correction trend (priority) Entry: 3756 – 3759 SL: 3764 TP: 3745 → 3732 → 3715 → 3690 → 3672 Reason: the 375x zone coincides with the sell zone + upper trendline; selling at retest offers a good R:R ratio. Confirmation/Negation: if H4 closes above 3764 and holds, the short-term sell scenario weakens. 2) Buy scalping in buffer zone Entry: 3701 – 3703 SL: 3695 TP: 3715 → 3732 → 3745 → 3766 Note: this is just a rebound in the correction phase; lock each step and move SL according to TP1. 3) Buy medium-term (strong base zone) Entry: 3648 – 3651 SL: 3644 TP: 3672 → 3698 → 3708 → 3722 – 3727 Reason: the 365x zone coincides with the demand/accumulation volume on H4; suitable for catching a deep rebound along with the larger trend. Management: this is a medium-term order, so divide volume, lock each step and move SL to breakeven after TP1. Refer to my scenario if you find it reasonable, trade accordingly, and if you enjoy trading gold with high-quality scenarios, follow me.

XAUUSD – The downward trend continues to be prioritisedThe downward trend continues to be prioritised (Wolfe Waves Pattern H4) Hello Trader, Gold is following the Wolfe Waves structure on the H4 chart, after bouncing off the upper resistance zone and returning below the trendline. This indicates that the short-term upward momentum has weakened, and the scenario of a downward adjustment continues to be prioritised at this stage. Technical Analysis Wolfe Waves are clearly formed, wave 5 has hit resistance and a reversal signal has appeared. The price failed to hold above the upper trendline, while the MACD shows weakening upward momentum. The 3746 – 3748 zone is considered the main “sell zone” in the short term. Nearby support zones: 3709 – 3711 and deeper at 3675 – 3678. Further, the area around 3650 is an important “buy zone” in the medium term. Trading Scenario Sell following the trend (priority) Entry: 3746 – 3748 SL: 3754 TP: 3733 → 3720 → 3702 → 3690 Buy Short-term Scalping Entry: 3709 – 3711 SL: 3705 TP: 3722 → 3730 → 3745 Buy Deep Support Scalping Entry: 3675 – 3678 SL: 3670 TP: 3688 → 3696 → 3710 → 3725 Medium-term Buy Zone Entry: around 3650 This is a high-volume accumulation zone, coinciding with strong support on H4. This area is suitable for considering medium-term buy orders if the price adjusts deeply. Conclusion In the short term, the bearish scenario continues to be prioritised, especially when the price remains below the 3748 zone. Buy strategies should only be considered in the form of scalping or at the important buy zone around 3650. The current gold market is still in a distribution phase, so patience is needed to observe candle confirmations at entry zones to optimise the R:R ratio. This is today's XAUUSD trading scenario according to Wolfe Waves on H4. You can refer to and combine with personal strategies for the best risk management.

Gold 1H – Will Gold Correction Extend Toward Discount Zones?Gold on the 1H timeframe is trading close to 3,745 after a series of bearish pushes, with premium resistance placed at 3,780–3,778 and another resistance pocket at 3,748–3,746. On the downside, discount demand is noted at 3,713–3,706, with a deeper support near 3,665. Recent CHoCH signals highlight short-term bearish bias, indicating that liquidity sweeps into resistance zones may occur before price retraces towards discount areas. Today’s headlines around renewed U.S. inflation concerns and expectations of a slower Fed pivot are dampening sentiment, while geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to support safe-haven bids. This combination is likely to keep intraday volatility elevated, with liquidity grabs around resistance zones expected before a clearer directional move emerges. ________________________________________ 📌 Key Structure & Liquidity Zones (1H): • 🔴 SELL GOLD LIQUIDITY 3,780–3,778 (SL 3,787): Premium resistance where sweeps may trigger rejection toward 3,760 → 3,740 → 3,730. • 🔴 SELL GOLD 3,748–3,746 (SL 3,755): Intraday resistance aligned with 0.5–0.618 retracement, targeting 3,730 → 3,720 → 3,715. • 🟢 BUY ZONE 3,697–3,699 (SL 3,692): Discount demand with liquidity confluence, offering upside targets at 3,715 → 3,730 → 3,745+. ________________________________________ 📊 Trading Ideas (Scenario-Based): 🔻 Sell Setup – Liquidity Run (3,780–3,778) • Entry: 3,780–3,778 • Stop Loss: 3,787 • Take Profits:  TP1: 3,760  TP2: 3,740  TP3: 3,730 🔻 Sell Setup – Intraday Rejection (3,748–3,746) • Entry: 3,748–3,746 • Stop Loss: 3,755 • Take Profits:  TP1: 3,730  TP2: 3,720  TP3: 3,715 🔺 Buy Setup – Discount Demand (3,697–3,699) • Entry: 3,697–3,699 • Stop Loss: 3,692 • Take Profits:  TP1: 3,715  TP2: 3,730  TP3: 3,745+ ________________________________________ 🔑 Strategy Note With U.S. inflation concerns and geopolitical risks creating mixed drivers for gold, intraday strategies can look to fade liquidity sweeps into premium resistance while keeping an eye on buy opportunities from well-defined discount demand zones. Expect sharp moves around 3,780 liquidity grabs before corrections extend down into the 3,713–3,706 area.

Gold shakes violently | Priority Buy on dip to support🟡 XAU/USD – 24/09 | Captain Vincent ⚓ 🔎 Captain’s Log – Context & News Geopolitics : Trump unexpectedly supported Ukraine reclaiming full territory and called on NATO to be tougher on Russia → defensive sentiment returned, supporting Gold. US Economy : Housing data due today, no FED speeches. Earlier: Weak US PMI + dovish FED tone → no momentum for a prolonged downtrend. Price Action : Gold dropped more than 20 points overnight, then quickly rebounded to 3,76x → likely profit-taking pressure at higher levels. ⏩ Captain’s Summary : Main trend stays bullish, but the voyage will remain choppy as Gold absorbs profit-taking near resistance. 📈 Captain’s Chart – Technical Analysis (H45) Golden Harbor (Support / Buy Zone) Buy Scalp OB: 3,754 – 3,757 OB Harbor: 3,741 – 3,744 Storm Breaker (Resistance / Sell Zone) Sell Scalp Zone: 3,797 – 3,800 Higher Sell Zone: 3,813 – 3,815 Market Structure After the deep drop, Gold rebounded and held above 3,76x.

LiamTrading – XAUUSD IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF CURRENT TRENDLiamTrading – XAUUSD Scenario Today: Opportunities at Key Price Levels Gold continues its strong upward momentum, currently fluctuating around the 376x–377x range after a series of breakthroughs. The technical structure on the H1 chart shows the market is forming clear resistance and support zones, suitable for short-term trading plans. Technical Analysis RSI is cooling off from high levels, indicating the possibility of a short-term correction. The upper price range around 3818–3821 is a strong confluence of resistance, coinciding with wave peaks and Fibonacci extensions, making it prone to selling reactions. Conversely, the support zones at 373x and 370x exhibit dense liquidity, serving as potential buying points when prices adjust. The short-term Dow structure still leans towards an uptrend, but attention is needed for the sell confirmation zone if gold fails at the peak. Reference Trading Plan Sell Zone: 3818 – 3821, SL 3828, TP 3805 – 3785 – 3760 – 3732 – 3650 Buy Scalping: 3728 – 3731, SL 3723, TP 3750 – 3777 – 3790 Buy Zone: 3706 – 3709, SL 3700, TP 3725 – 3738 – 3750 – 3777 – 3790 In summary, the main trend still leans towards an increase, but with gold approaching strong resistance zones, the likelihood of a correction is very high. Traders need to patiently wait for reactions at the marked zones for optimal entries, while managing risk tightly. This is my personal view on XAUUSD. If you're interested in gold scenarios, follow me for the fastest updates.

GOLD TREND TODAY - Support and Resistance - Simple Analysis📈 Trend & Market Structure XAUUSD Gold is still in a clear uptrend, respecting higher highs and higher lows on H4. Recent breakout structures (BOS) confirm bullish order flow, but price is approaching a liquidity zone near $3,800. On the downside, unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Order Blocks (OB) remain potential buy zones if price retraces. 🔑 Key Levels Resistance: 3800 – 3830 Support: 3765 – 3760 – 3755 Liquidity Buy Zone: 3715 – 3712 📌 Trade Ideas 🔴 SELL Setup (Countertrend / Scalping) Entry: 3855 – 3858 Stop Loss: 3863 Take Profit: TP1: 3850 TP2: 3840 TP3: 3820 TP4: 3800 Open TP: 3780 🟢 BUY Setup (Trend-following / SMC zones) Entry: 3715 – 3712 (Liquidity + Strong OB) Stop Loss: 3705 Take Profit: TP1: 3725 TP2: 3735 TP3: 3755 TP4: 3775 Open TP: 3800 🎯 Strategy Note Main bias: Look for buys on retracements in line with the uptrend. Shorts at 3855 – 3858 are countertrend scalps only; use tight stops. Apply scalping entries once price reacts at the defined S/R levels with confirmation (candlestick rejection, BOS, or volume shift). Always use SL/TP for risk management. ⚡ Gold remains bullish overall; the plan favors buy opportunities from demand zones, while countertrend shorts should be quick and managed tightly.

Gold Finds Support at R1 , buy the Dip stills looks good We have seen a solid pullback (of over 72 points from the highs) in yesterday’s session, yet the broader structure on the H4 and higher timeframes remains firmly bullish, maintaining its HH-HL pattern. Price has so far rejected the 3720 zone (Weekly R1), confirming it as near-term support, and is now retesting the immediate resistance at 3750 along with the descending trendline overhead. As long as gold holds above the PWH / 3700–3680 demand zone, this looks like a healthy consolidation rather than a trend reversal. A sustained breakout above 3750 and the descending trendline could trigger momentum toward the 3790–3800 zone once again. For the short- to mid-term outlook, buying dips remains the preferred strategy, with invalidation coming only on a clean breakdown and H4 close below 3700 with strong volume.

Gold 1H – Inflation Worries & Risk Sentiment Guide MovesGold on the 1H chart is hovering near 3,753 after multiple BOS confirmations, holding a firm bullish bias yet approaching premium resistance. Liquidity sits above 3,787–3,785, while fresh demand zones are placed at 3,725–3,723 and deeper at 3,688–3,686. Today’s narrative around sticky U.S. inflation expectations and renewed geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe is boosting safe-haven appetite. Still, intraday price action suggests possible liquidity sweeps into resistance before price retraces back towards demand zones. ________________________________________ 📌 Key Structure & Liquidity Zones (1H): • 🔴 SELL SCALP 3,787–3,785 (SL 3,794): Premium resistance where liquidity runs may spark short-term selling towards 3,780 → 3,775 → 3,770. • 🟢 BUY ZONE 3,725–3,723 (SL 3,718): Pullback demand aligned with structure, favouring longs towards 3,740 → 3,755 → 3,770+. • 🟢 BUY ZONE 3,688–3,686 (SL 3,680): Deeper discount demand area, attractive for positional buys targeting 3,700 → 3,715 → 3,730+. ________________________________________ 📊 Trading Ideas (Scenario-Based): 🔺 Buy Setup – Pullback Demand (3,725–3,723) • Entry: 3,725–3,723 • Stop Loss: 3,718 • Targets:  TP1: 3,740  TP2: 3,755  TP3: 3,770+ 🔺 Buy Setup – Discount Demand (3,688–3,686) • Entry: 3,688–3,686 • Stop Loss: 3,680 • Targets:  TP1: 3,700  TP2: 3,715  TP3: 3,730+ 🔻 Sell Setup – Liquidity Sweep (3,787–3,785) • Entry: 3,787–3,785 • Stop Loss: 3,794 • Targets:  TP1: 3,780  TP2: 3,775  TP3: 3,770 ________________________________________ 🔑 Strategy Note Rising inflation concerns and safe-haven flows from geopolitical risks are keeping gold buyers in play. However, smart money could drive engineered stop-hunts near premium resistance before retracements set in. The bias remains buy-on-dips around key supports, while short-term scalps against liquidity sweeps near 3,787–3,785 should be approached with caution. Volatility is expected as markets digest U.S. inflation updates and risk headlines.

GBP/AUD WEEKPLAN: Best Sell Zone Short StoplossFootprint Analysis OANDA:GBPAUD Previous Trend: The candles before the 18th showed an uptrend. Specifically, the candle on the 17th had a strong positive Delta (+5.24K), with the buy volume (green) dominating the sell volume (red) at most price levels. This confirms that buyers were in control and pushed the price up. Order Flow Shift: Starting with the candle on the 18th, there was a clear change. This candle had a negative Delta (-1.55K), indicating that selling pressure had started to take over again. Although the total volume remained high, the Delta shows that selling pressure was strengthening. Current Trend (19th): The most recent candle has a positive Delta (+2.07K). This is very important. It shows that after a day of strong selling pressure, buyers have returned. The large buy volume (green) at lower price levels compared to the recent high indicates that buyers are "accumulating" at a lower price. This is a sign that a recovery may be underway. In summary of the Footprint: The Footprint data confirms a short-term correction (due to the negative Delta), but the return of a positive Delta shows that buying pressure has returned. This aligns with a scenario where the price retraces to a strong support zone before continuing the uptrend. OANDA:GBPAUD SMC Plan Analysis Market Structure Analysis Change of Character (M-ChoCH): The price changed its structure from bearish to bullish by breaking the most recent high, marked as "M-ChoCH". Break of Structure (BOS): After the ChoCH, the price continued to rise and broke a higher high, creating a new "BOS," which confirms that the uptrend is still strong. Current Trend: The price has created a new high and is in a corrective phase, retracing to a strong support zone. Identification of Key Zones Support/Buy Zone: Location: The price range is from ~2.0420 to ~2.0440. Significance: This is the most important Order Block (OB) zone. It was formed right after the BOS and shows signs of buying pressure returning (confirmed by the recent positive Delta on the Footprint). This is the highest-potential area to consider for a long entry. Resistance/Sell Zone: Location: There are two main zones. The first is the recent price range of ~2.0480 to ~2.0500. The second is located at a higher peak, around ~2.0650 to ~2.0690. Significance: The first zone is where the price might have a minor reaction and continue to correct toward the BUY ZONE. The second zone is the target for a long trade, where potential sell orders are placed. Detailed Trading Plan Primary Scenario (Long Trade): Entry: Wait for the price to pull back to the BUY ZONE (~2.0420 - 2.0440). Reasoning: This is a strong Order Block zone where the price has already shown signs of a buy reaction (confirmed by the positive Delta on the Footprint). Take Profit: TP1: The nearest high (~2.0550). TP2: The higher SELL ZONE (~2.0650 - 2.0690). Stop Loss: Place it below the nearest low (below the BUY ZONE), around ~2.0390, for risk management. Secondary Scenario (Short-Term Short Trade): Strategy: A short-term trade, against the main trend. Entry: Consider a short-term sell trade if the price reacts to the lower SELL ZONE (~2.0480 - 2.0500). Reasoning: This zone could act as temporary resistance, pushing the price down to fill the BUY ZONE. Take Profit: The BUY ZONE (~2.0420). Stop Loss: Place it above the SELL ZONE, around ~2.0520. Conclusion: The combination of SMC and Footprint analysis shows that GBPAUD is in a strong uptrend, and the current downward phase is a healthy correction. The Footprint has confirmed the return of buying pressure, which reinforces the primary trading plan to wait for a buy entry at the strong Order Block zone.

Gold 1H – Should We Hold or Fade Liquidity at 3800?On the 1-hour timeframe, gold is trading near 3,776 within a corrective channel. Premium liquidity remains clustered above 3,800–3,798, while discount demand is positioned at 3,725–3,727. Recent BOS (Break of Structure) signals confirm bullish intent, but engineered sweeps into premium zones are still likely before price retraces toward discount levels. Today’s headlines on the Federal Reserve’s cautious approach and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are reinforcing safe-haven demand. However, intraday volatility may continue to produce liquidity grabs before clear direction is established. ________________________________________ 📌 Key Structure & Liquidity Zones (1H) • 🔴 SELL GOLD LIQUIDITY 3,800–3,798 (SL 3,807): Premium resistance where liquidity sweeps may cause rejections towards 3,770 → 3,760 → 3,755. • 🟢 BUY ZONE 3,725–3,727 (SL 3,720): Discount demand in line with BOS, with upside targets at 3,740 → 3,760 → 3,775. ________________________________________ 📊 Trading Ideas (Scenario-Based) 🔻 Sell Setup – Liquidity Run (3,800–3,798) • Entry: 3,800–3,798 • Stop Loss: 3,807 • Take Profits: o TP1: 3,770 o TP2: 3,760 o TP3: 3,755 🔺 Buy Setup – Discount Demand (3,725–3,727) • Entry: 3,725–3,727 • Stop Loss: 3,720 • Take Profits: o TP1: 3,740 o TP2: 3,760 o TP3: 3,775+ ________________________________________ 🔑 Strategy Note With the Fed’s cautious stance and geopolitical risks supporting gold, the broader bias remains buy-the-dip. At the same time, fading engineered sweeps into premium liquidity zones can offer tactical short-term opportunities. Expect volatility around 3,800 liquidity runs before retracements into well-defined discount zones.

LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1: Adjustment structure formed, awaiting confirmation below 3685 After the surge to 375x, gold is entering a correction phase in line with the structural pattern. On H1, the price clings to the upper edge of the rising wedge, with RSI cooling off from overbought levels, indicating that supply pressure is starting to dominate. Today's plan focuses on the adjustment structure, prioritising selling upon confirmation signals. Key price zones (as per the attached chart) Sell strong resistance 3775–3785: confluence of channel top + 2.618 extension. Look for weakening reactions to initiate short/medium-term sell orders. Buy zone volume 3726–3720: a thin support area providing momentum for a rebound. Holding this zone could push the price to retest 3750–3775; conversely, losing 3720 may lead to a deeper decline. Resistance + FVG 3715–3698: as the price drops, this area turns into supply; a failed retest here is an early signal for further decline. Confirm sell 3688–3685: closing H1 below this zone confirms a short-term downtrend, targeting a lower buy zone. BuyZone 3652–3646: confluence of channel bottom + old liquidity, expecting a strong bullish reaction if revisited. Reference trading scenarios (adhering to risk management) Sell reaction at peak: 3778–3783, SL 3792, TP 3755 → 3738 → 3722. Sell on confirmation: wait for H1 to close below 3685, enter sell 3684–3682, SL 3696, TP 3673 → 3656 → 3648. Buy scalp by volume: 3726–3720, SL 3715, TP 3738 → 3750 (only short-term if the larger structure remains corrective). Buy swing at strong zone: 3652–3646, SL 3639, TP 3673 → 3698 → 3712 → 3740. Operational notes Prioritise waiting for rejection/closing signals at the mentioned zones; avoid chasing orders in between. Order volume should be allocated according to confirmation levels (confirmation zone < breakdown < failed retest). Avoid excessive leverage; adjust SL according to structure when in profit. This is a personal perspective, not an investment recommendation. If you want the quickest updates on the next XAUUSD scenarios, follow me and join my community for discussions.

Gold Price Action: Trendline Break but Bulls Still in ControlGold posted a fresh all-time high yesterday near 3790 before entering a healthy pullback phase after an extended intraday rally. The higher-timeframe structure remains constructive, with the market still maintaining its higher-highs and higher-lows sequence. However, price action has broken below the rising trendline support we discussed in yesterday’s update, signaling a short-term pause in momentum. At the moment, gold is consolidating just above R2 (3754), which continues to act as an important intraday support. For bulls to regain momentum and extend the rally, price needs to break above the declining red resistance trendline and sustain above the 3790–3800 zone. A breakout here could open the door for further upside continuation. On the other hand, a confirmed H4 close below 3750 could invite deeper profit-taking, with the 3700–3710 area (previous week’s high) remaining the key demand zone and primary downside support. Overall, the broader trend remains bullish, but price action is currently in a consolidation phase. Watching for either a breakout above resistance or a close below 3750 will provide clarity on the next directional move.

Gold Prices Continue to Rise Amid Rate Cuts and Geopolitical RisGold prices today are being strongly supported by growing expectations that the Federal Reserve (FED) will continue to cut interest rates and the increasing demand for safe-haven assets amid rising geopolitical instability. Last week, the FED made its first rate cut of 0.25% since December, causing gold prices to surge. While some investors took profits, most experts believe the uptrend is not over yet. This week, investor focus will be on the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data for August, the FED's preferred inflation measure, which may provide further clues about future rate cuts. Many forecasts predict a slowdown in core PCE, reinforcing the case for continued rate cuts by the FED. Additionally, safe-haven flows are further supported by prolonged geopolitical risks, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and concerns over economic impacts from U.S. tariffs. Furthermore, strong gold buying activity from global central banks plays a crucial role in strengthening the bullish outlook for the precious metal.

Bullish Momentum Intact: Watching R2 for continuation or pause Gold continued its upside momentum after a clean breakout above the previous week’s high, leading to a strong one-way rally towards the weekly R2 level at 3754. At the moment, price is holding well above the rising trendline, showing no signs of major rejection or reversal. The immediate resistance remains at weekly R2, and a sustained break above this level could open the door for a move towards weekly R3 around 3800. The overall structure is still bullish, with higher highs and higher lows firmly intact. For any meaningful correction to take place, price would first need to break below the rising trendline. A deeper retracement would require price to trade back under the previous week’s high, which would then shift the short-term bias toward the weekly pivot zone near 3672. Until then, dips are likely to be seen as buying opportunities.

XAUUSD – Wolfe Waves forming on H4 chart, clear correction signaHello Trader, On the H4 chart, gold is forming a quite standard Wolfe Waves pattern. The 5th wave has completed, and the price is moving into the crucial resistance zone of 3760 – 3770, which is also a potential Sell Zone. Given the current structure, the preferred scenario is a short-term downward correction before the main trend resumes. Technical Analysis The price has touched the 2.618 Fibonacci Extension and reacted with a decline, indicating profit-taking pressure. The MACD still shows the previous buying force was quite strong, but the histogram is starting to weaken, aligning with the possibility of a correction wave emerging. Area 3760 – 3770: a critical resistance zone, also coinciding with the 5th wave line of Wolfe Waves. Trading Scenario Sell order according to Wolfe Waves Entry: 3760 – 3770 SL: 3782 (above resistance zone) TP: 3710 -3660 -3610 – 3620 (key level Wolfe target) Sell when price confirms below trendline Entry 3727-3730 sl 3735 tp 3715-3700-3686-3665 Short-term Buy Scalping Entry: 3705 – 3708 SL: 3700 TP: 3720-3730 – 3745- 3766 Note: This is just a short-term retracement strategy, going against the correction, so risk management is crucial. Conclusion Short-term: Prioritise observing reversal signals at 3760 – 3770 to Sell. Medium-term: Wait for Buy opportunities around 3564 – 3574 to align with the main trend. The market is entering a distribution and correction phase, so patiently waiting for candle confirmations at key zones will be key to optimising entry. This is the Wolfe Waves scenario I propose for gold during this period. You can refer to and adjust according to your own strategy. Follow me for the fastest updates when the price structure changes.
