Gold trades cautiously as strong dollar impacts market.🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Trading Plan (H1)
📈 Market Environment
Gold remains highly reactive today as traders digest ongoing USD volatility driven by U.S. rate expectations and political headlines, keeping safe-haven flows unstable. Instead of clean trends, price action continues to favor range manipulation and liquidity-driven moves.
This backdrop supports a Smart Money environment where institutions engineer price into key extremes to trap late buyers and sellers before the real move unfolds.

Key Observations:
• Prior buy-side liquidity already tapped
• Multiple CHoCH signals confirm rotational flow
• Price respecting internal trendlines
• Discount aligns with bullish order block
• Premium capped near previous target & imbalance

Gold Faces Strong Selling PressureGold came under heavy selling pressure after failing to break above the 5,100 USD level overnight and subsequently falling below 4,900 USD during today’s trading session.
The US dollar climbed to its highest level in two weeks and appears to be extending its recent solid recovery from a four-year low, which is adding notable downside pressure to the precious metal.
In addition, the current corrective move is still struggling, as price remains below the trendline. As long as this trendline—and more importantly the recent high at 5,100 USD—is not convincingly broken, the path of least resistance remains to the downside.
What’s your view? How do you see the next move for OANDA:XAUUSD ?
Silver’s Breakdown Points to Much Lower LevelsSilver’s recent price action is not showing signs of strength or accumulation.
Instead, it reflects a clean structural breakdown followed by weak, corrective consolidation — the kind of behavior that usually precedes another leg lower.
After losing the key $84 level, silver didn’t stabilize or reclaim lost territory. It simply drifted into a lower range, suggesting that the move down was not just a temporary flush, but the start of a broader repricing phase.
What the market is doing now looks less like accumulation and more like post-breakdown exhaustion.
The $84 zone: where structure changed
The $84 area was a major structural level.
It acted as a balance zone where price previously found support and built value.
Once that level broke:
Buyers lost control of the structure
The market shifted from balance to imbalance
Liquidity started moving downward
Strong markets defend key levels.
Weak markets lose them and never look back.
So far, silver is behaving like the latter.
The inability to reclaim $84 suggests that the market is now operating in a lower value regime, where rallies are likely to be sold into, not chased higher.
Current price action: drift, not recovery
After the sharp drop, price entered a sideways range. But this range lacks the characteristics of real accumulation.
There is:
No strong impulsive buying
No reclaim of broken structure
No sustained upward expansion
Instead, the market is:
Printing lower highs
Moving sideways to slightly down
Showing reactive buying, not aggressive accumulation
This type of behavior is typical in markets that are pausing before the next leg lower.
The downside path: where liquidity sits
Below the current price, multiple untested liquidity zones remain.
These areas represent prior consolidation, psychological levels, and structural supports.
First major target: $56.52
This is the nearest meaningful support zone.
It represents:
A prior demand area
A structural pause in the previous trend
A natural magnet after the $84 breakdown
A move to this level would be a logical continuation, not a panic move.
Secondary target: $49.78
If $56 fails to hold, the next liquidity pocket sits near $49.78.
This level aligns with:
Deeper structural support
A prior consolidation region
A zone where longer-term buyers may begin to re-enter
This would represent a full structural correction from the $84 breakdown.
Deeper flush zones: $44.13 → $37.48 → $34.82
If the market enters a true risk-off phase or broad commodity weakness:
$44 becomes the next major structural test
$37 acts as a deeper psychological and technical level
$34 represents a full-cycle liquidity reset zone
These levels are where:
Long-term positioning resets
Weak hands are fully cleared out
Real accumulation could begin
Why the bearish scenario makes structural sense
Several factors support the downside path:
1) Clean structural breakdown
The loss of $84 shifted the entire market regime.
2) Lack of impulsive recovery
Strong markets bounce fast. Weak markets drift.
3) Overhead supply above current price
Every rally now runs into trapped longs from higher levels.
4) Untested liquidity below
Multiple clean targets sit beneath the current range.
Markets naturally move toward unfilled liquidity zones.
The likely sequence from here
The higher-probability path:
Continued sideways-to-lower drift below $84
Gradual breakdown of the current range
First major test around $56.52
If that fails, extension toward $49.78
Deeper flush possible toward $44 → $37 → $34 zones
Real accumulation is more likely after these levels are tested, not at current prices.
Bottom line
Silver is not showing signs of a bottom.
It’s showing signs of a market adjusting to a lower price regime.
The $84 breakdown changed the structure.
Since then, price has only drifted — not recovered.
That usually means the move isn’t over.
The structure currently favors:
First major downside target: $56.52
Secondary level: $49.78
Deeper reset zones: $44 → $37 → $34
This isn’t a base in silver.
It’s a pause before the next move.
Chumtrades XAUUSD Has Wave B finished?GOLD – DAILY PLAN
Has Wave B finished?
→ No confirmation yet.
Macro & Market Sentiment
US–Iran negotiations have been cancelled. Geopolitical risks remain, but not strong enough to trigger a new bullish wave.
Gold experienced a relatively calm trading session, failed to break above the key level around 5,100, and saw a moderate pullback during the US session.
The Daily candle formed a Spinning Top, indicating market indecision and consolidation, with a lack of momentum for a breakout.
👉 Macro factors are supporting prices, but not pushing the market into an immediate uptrend.
Technical Structure & Outlook
Price is still moving within a descending price channel.
On the H1 timeframe, price has broken above the 4,888 key level, showing a technical rebound.
However, the higher timeframe structure remains bearish, with no confirmed trend reversal.
→ Therefore, current rebounds are considered pullbacks within a downtrend.
Key Levels
Support: 4,810 | 4,830 | 4,700–4,750 | 4,650–4,624
Resistance: 4,950–5,000 | 5,100
Trading Scenarios
Primary strategy: Sell the rallies within the descending channel.
Look for SELL setups near resistance zones, targeting lower lows.
Momentum SELL may be considered if price clearly breaks below 4,882–4,890, with confirmation on H2 or H4, targeting around 4,810.
No BUY positions while price remains inside the descending channel.
👉 Only if price breaks and holds above 5,100, will we start reassessing a trend-following BUY scenario.
👉 Deeper pullbacks are viewed as potential zones for swing BUY opportunities, not short-term buys at this stage.
Note: The market is in a “confidence-testing” phase. Focus on zone-based trading, trend alignment, reduced position size, and avoid FOMO.
What’s Next for Gold?Gold’s sharp rebound from the recent lows has reignited calls for an immediate continuation toward new highs. But the structure tells a more nuanced story.
The rally so far looks less like fresh upside momentum and more like a classic relief move after forced liquidation.
The recent selloff flushed leverage aggressively. Stops were triggered, weak hands exited, and positioning reset fast. What followed wasn’t accumulation — it was short-covering and mean reversion.
This matters because markets that truly want to trend higher don’t need to retrace this violently first.
The key zone: supply above, not support below
Gold is now approaching a well-defined supply band, roughly around the 5,250–5,300 region.
This zone is important for three reasons:
It was a prior distribution area before the breakdown
It aligns with VWAP / value rejection from the last impulse down
It represents the level where trapped longs may look to exit breakeven
In other words, this is where selling interest naturally returns, not where new longs should feel comfortable.
If Gold were truly in a strong continuation phase, it would have:
Built a base
Absorbed supply
Then expanded higher
Instead, price is walking straight back into overhead resistance.
Liquidity behavior doesn’t confirm strength
Despite the bounce, liquidity behavior remains defensive.
• Rallies are corrective, not impulsive
• Volume expands on down moves, not up moves
• Buyers are reactive, sellers are proactive
This is typical of a market inside a larger corrective phase, not the start of a fresh leg higher.
Gold often rallies hardest after fear peaks — but it doesn’t trend sustainably until supply is fully absorbed. That process takes time.
Macro tailwinds aren’t immediate triggers
Yes, long-term macro drivers for gold remain intact.
But markets don’t move on narratives alone — they move on timing and positioning.
If global liquidity remains tight or even mildly restrictive, gold doesn’t collapse — but it also doesn’t trend freely. It oscillates, frustrates, and cleans up positioning.
That’s exactly what current structure suggests.
The probable path from here
From a trader’s perspective, the higher-probability sequence is:
• Price tests the 5,250–5,300 supply zone
• Sellers re-engage into strength
• Volatility compresses or rejection appears
• Market either ranges or pulls back before the next real move
A clean break and acceptance above this zone would invalidate the view — but until then, this is resistance, not confirmation.
Bottom line
Gold’s bounce is real — but bounces are not trends.
This move looks like:
A reaction, not initiation
Short-covering, not accumulation
Repair work, not breakout
Strong markets build value below resistance.
Weak or corrective markets rush into it.
Right now, Gold is doing the latter.
XAUUSD – H2 Technical AnalysisXAUUSD – H2 Technical Outlook: Bullish Structure Rebuild as Precious Metals Surge | Lana ✨
Precious metals are back in focus as silver surges sharply, adding momentum to the broader metals complex. In this context, gold is showing signs of structure rebuilding after a healthy correction, setting the stage for potential continuation.
📈 Market Structure & Technical Context
After a strong impulsive drop, gold successfully defended the 4,420–4,450 strong support zone, where buyers stepped in decisively. Since then, price has been forming higher lows along an ascending trendline, signalling a shift from distribution into recovery.
The current price action suggests this move is corrective-to-bullish, not just a short-lived bounce.
🔍 Key Levels to Watch
Strong Support: 4,420 – 4,450
This zone remains the structural base. As long as price holds above it, bullish scenarios stay valid.
Mid Resistance / Reaction Zone: ~5,050 – 5,080
Price is currently consolidating here, absorbing supply after the rebound.
Next Resistance: ~5,135
A clean break and acceptance above this level would confirm continuation strength.
Upper Targets: ~5,300 – 5,350
Aligned with Fibonacci extensions and prior supply zones.
Higher Objective: ~5,580
Only in play if bullish momentum accelerates across the metals market.
🎯 Bullish Scenarios
If gold continues to respect the upper trendline and holds above the 5,000 psychological level:
A brief pullback into 5,000–5,050 could offer structure for continuation.
Acceptance above 5,135 opens the path toward 5,300+.
Strong momentum, supported by silver’s breakout, could extend moves toward 5,580.
Any pullbacks toward support are currently viewed as constructive corrections, not weakness.
🌍 Intermarket Insight
Silver’s sharp rally highlights renewed demand across precious metals, often acting as a leading signal for broader sector strength. This backdrop supports the idea that gold’s recent correction was a reset, not a reversal.
🧠 Lana’s View
Gold is rebuilding its bullish structure step by step. The focus is not on chasing price, but on how price reacts at key levels. As long as structure and momentum remain aligned, the broader trend stays constructive.
✨ Stay patient, respect the zones, and let the market confirm the next expansion.
XAUUSD (H3) – Liam PlanXAUUSD (H3) – Liam Plan
Safe-haven bid is back, but structure is still corrective | Trade the zones, not the headlines
Quick summary
Gold is up for a second day as US–Iran tensions revive safe-haven demand. At the same time, expectations for Fed rate cuts keep the USD on the defensive, which typically supports non-yielding assets like gold. However, with ADP and ISM Services PMI ahead, short-term volatility can spike fast — and that’s exactly where gold tends to run liquidity before choosing direction.
My approach: respect the macro tailwind, but execute based on structure.
Macro context
Gold usually benefits when:
geopolitical risk rises (risk-off flows),
rate-cut expectations increase (lower real yields),
the USD weakens or struggles to sustain a bounce.
That said, pre-data sessions often produce fake moves. The market will likely “test” both sides before committing.
Technical view (H3 – based on the chart)
Price rebounded sharply from the recent low, but the overall swing structure is still in a correction / rebalancing phase after a major impulse down.
Key zones on the chart:
Major supply / premium target: 5570 – 5580 This is the clear “sell reaction” zone if price expands higher.
Current decision area: around 5050 – 5100 Price is pushing back into a key mid-range level — where continuation must prove acceptance.
Deep demand / liquidity base: 4408, then 4329 If the market fails to hold higher supports, these are the next magnets for sell-side liquidity.
This is a classic: bounce → retest → decide environment.
Trading scenarios (Liam style: trade the level) Scenario A: Continuation bounce
If price holds above the current base and continues to reclaim levels:
Upside rotation can extend toward 5200 → 5400 → 5570–5580
Expect reactions near each resistance band, especially approaching premium.
Logic: safe-haven flows + softer USD can fuel continuation, but only if price accepts above the mid-range.
Scenario B: Rejection and rotation lower
If price fails to hold above 5050–5100 and prints rejection:
Expect a pullback back into prior demand
Deeper continuation opens toward 4408, then 4329
Logic: corrective rallies often redistribute before the next leg lower, especially around major data.
Execution notes
With ADP + ISM ahead, avoid chasing candles.
Wait for price to tag the zone and show a clear reaction.
Trade smaller if spreads widen.
My focus: If price accepts above the mid-range, I’ll respect the bounce. If it rejects, I’ll treat the move as a corrective rally and look for rotation lower. Either way, I’m trading levels — not headlines.

SILVER1! : Volatility Contraction & Mean Reversion Analysis1. Context & Review (Linking the Past) In our previous analysis Silver Futures: Parabolic Breakdown , we correctly identified the "Bearish Liquidation" event that led to a -17% correction. As predicted, the parabolic arc was violated, and price sought liquidity lower.
2. Current Market Structure: The Snap-Back We are witnessing the aftermath. The market stabilized at the ~265k zone and is reacting with a strong +5% bounce. This aligns with standard Mean Reversion mechanics:
Oversold Conditions: The selling intensity stretched price too far from the average ("rubber band" effect).
Short Covering: Early bears are booking profits, fueling the initial bounce.
3. Technical Roadmap (The "New" Path)
The Gap Fill: The rapid drop left a liquidity void (Fair Value Gap) between 290k - 300k. Price naturally gravitates toward this magnet to "repair" inefficient price action.
The 0.382 Test: As mentioned in our previous "Dead Cat Bounce" scenario, we are watching the Fibonacci retracement levels. The current move is approaching the 0.382 resistance.
4. Technical Setup (Visible on Chart)
The "Orange Box" (Supply Zone): We have highlighted the 290k-300k zone as the "Line in the Sand."
Bullish Case: A daily close above 300k suggests this is more than just a dead cat bounce and opens the door to the Golden Pocket (0.618).
Bearish Case: Rejection at this Orange Box confirms the "Lower High" thesis, likely inviting a second leg down.
5. Volatility Analysis (TradeX View) Historical data confirms that after a >15% crash, volatility remains elevated for 2-3 weeks. We expect wide trading ranges rather than a straight V-shape recovery.
Strategy: Fade the extremes. Buy deep supports, sell the rip into resistance.
6. Conclusion The panic phase is over; the "reconstruction" phase has begun. We are currently neutral-bullish for a tactical bounce to the ~300,000 resistance area, but we remain cautious of the macro trend until that level is reclaimed.
Wave B Has Rebounded 15% Bottom Confirmed at 4,400?Wave B Has Rebounded 15% – Final Bottom or a Trap Before Wave C?
After a strong rally in yesterday’s Asian session, gold moved into consolidation during the European and US sessions, with a failed breakout late in the US session. In today’s Asian session, price broke above the 4,882–4,960 range, confirming it as a new buy-side base.
Gold has rebounded ~15% from the 4,404 area, driven by dip-buying demand and rising US–Iran geopolitical tensions, which remain a key catalyst alongside this week’s economic data.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, 4,400 marks the Wave A bottom. The market is now in a Wave B corrective rebound, with potential upside toward 5,140 – 5,200 – 5,220. Once Wave B completes, Wave C may follow, where signs of weakness and distribution will be watched to identify new swing-buy zones after the correction.
Support: 4,990–4,950 | 4,880–4,890 | 4,780–4,750 | 4,650–4,624
Resistance: 5,140 | 5,200 | 5,220
Note: Volatility remains elevated. Trade cautiously with strict risk and capital management.
IM LONG IN XAUUSD: HTF 0.5 Fibonacci Magnet in Play (4950–5000)*Gold is holding trendline support and targeting the 0.5 Fibonacci level of the higher timeframe.
What I Have Mentioned is the Clear HTF bias, defined by zone, defined reaction zone, which shows both bullish & corrective scenarios
****Strongly it educates, not hypes***
XAUUSD Price ( 4950 – 5000 ) remains the key upside zone if support continues to hold.
Market Context:
XAUUSD is currently trading around 4810, holding above a rising yellow trendline support.
Technical Confluence:
• Higher timeframe 0.5 Fibonacci retracement lies between 4950 – 5000
• This zone is marked as a major reaction area (highlighted rectangle)
• Trendline support + structure holding adds bullish probability
Price Expectation:
As long as the price respects the trendline support, gold can continue its move higher towards the 0.5 HTF Fibonacci zone.
The green and red projected paths indicate possible market reactions based on support and resistance behavior — not prediction, but preparation.
Trading Insight:
This is a buy-on-support, sell-into-resistance setup.

(XAUUSD) – Bearish Continuation From Major Supply Zone (45m)
Market Structure
Clear trend reversal from the highs → strong impulsive sell-off.
The curved marking shows a distribution/top formation, followed by aggressive downside momentum.
Overall structure is lower highs & lower lows → bears in control.
Key Zones
Resistance / Supply Zone (~4,700–4,750)
Previous support flipped into resistance.
Price has retested this zone multiple times and failed to break above → strong seller presence.
Target / Demand Zone (~4,350)
Prior demand area and liquidity pool.
Logical downside objective if resistance continues to hold.
Entry Logic (as drawn)
Short entry after rejection inside the resistance zone.
Confirmation comes from:
Weak bullish candles
Long upper wicks
Failure to reclaim the zone
Price Action Read
The small bounces are corrective pullbacks, not reversals.
Each push up is being sold → classic bearish continuation / pullback-to-supply setup.
Bias & Expectation
Bias: Bearish
Expectation:
Rejection from resistance → continuation toward 4,350 target
Invalidation if price accepts and closes above the resistance zone
Summary
This chart shows a textbook support-to-resistance flip after a strong sell-off. As long as price remains below the highlighted resistance, the path of least resistance is down, targeting the lower demand zone.

This is analysis, not trade advice.
Silver Weekly Outlook: Post-Exhaustion PhaseSilver has entered a high-volatility post-exhaustion phase after a sharp parabolic rise followed by an equally aggressive correction. The weekly chart clearly shows that price moved too far, too fast, and the recent sell-off is a classic example of mean reversion after euphoric buying. Such phases rarely resolve in a straight line and typically evolve into consolidation, base-building, or deeper corrective structures.
At current levels, Silver is hovering near an immediate demand zone around the 80–85 region, which now acts as a crucial decision area. This zone represents the first major area where buyers are expected to defend aggressively. The way price behaves here will define the next medium-term trend.
Scenario A – Range / Base Formation (High Probability):
The most probable outcome at this stage is sideways consolidation. After a vertical fall, markets often need time to absorb supply and rebuild demand. If Silver manages to hold above the immediate demand zone and starts forming higher lows on lower timeframes, it would indicate base formation rather than trend failure. This scenario favors range traders and patient positional participants, as price may oscillate between support and overhead resistance for several weeks or months.
Scenario B – Breakdown Continuation (Moderate Probability):
If the current support zone fails decisively with strong weekly closes below it, Silver could enter a deeper corrective phase. In such a case, price may gravitate toward the next major demand zone near 73–75, which aligns with prior consolidation and breakout structure. This move would likely be driven by broader risk-off sentiment or macro pressure rather than technical weakness alone. Traders should avoid aggressive longs if this breakdown structure develops.
Scenario C – Bullish Reclaim and Bounce (Low Probability, Needs Confirmation):
A less likely but still possible outcome is a bullish reclaim, where Silver holds current levels, absorbs selling pressure, and reclaims the 90+ zone with strong weekly confirmation. For this scenario to gain credibility, price must show acceptance above resistance with volume and structure. Until then, any bounce should be treated as reactive and corrective, not a confirmed trend reversal.
From a structural perspective, the major resistance remains far above near the 115–120 zone, which was the distribution area before the sharp reversal. This level will act as a long-term supply cap unless Silver builds a strong base over time.
In summary, Silver is no longer in a trending phase but in a transition zone. Patience is critical here. Traders should focus less on prediction and more on reaction to price behavior at key demand levels. Let structure, confirmation, and risk management guide decisions, as this phase can easily trap both early bulls and aggressive bears if approached without discipline.
