Gold H1 – Will 4212 Hold and Drop to 4160 Today?🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader (27/11)
📈 Market Context
Gold is currently trading within a rising institutional channel after strong H1 displacement. The market is compressing into a liquidity-rich consolidation phase — a classic Smart Money trap environment before engineered expansion.
What Smart Money desks are targeting today:
• Expectation of USD strength shaping bearish bias
• Liquidity sweeps above internal range highs
• Consolidation fakeouts to induce retail mis-positioning
• CHoCH/BOS confirmation required before real directional move
The chart shows equal liquidity zones positioned at premium (sell opportunity) and discount (re-entry buy region).
🔎 Technical Framework – Smart Money Structure (H1)
Current state = Accumulation / Redistribution phase
Liquidity map highlighted zones:
• Premium liquidity zone: 4212 – 4214 (target for short trap)
• Discount liquidity origin zone: 4165 – 4163 (higher timeframe demand re-entry)
• Equilibrium / Chop zone: 4180 – 4195 (no trade unless displaced)
• Trendline support: ~4173 region (must break for downside continuation)
Expected sequence:
Sweep → CHoCH/MSS → BOS → Displacement → Retest (FVG/OB) → Expansion
🎯 Trade Plans for Today
🔴 SELL GOLD 4212 – 4214 | SL 4222
Thesis: Liquidity sweep at premium highs before bearish displacement
Entry activation rules (must wait):
• Price taps 4214 liquidity pocket
• Bearish CHoCH/MSS + BOS down on M5–M15
• Entry taken at FVG fill or order block retest after BOS
Targets:
1. 4200 (first reaction)
2. 4187 – 4185 (BOS retest zone)
3. 4170 (channel mid-equilibrium)
4. 4165 – 4163 (H1 demand retest / profit core)
🟢 BUY GOLD 4165 – 4163 | SL 4143
Thesis: Discount origin tap for impulse continuation buy
Entry activation rules (must wait):
• Price sweeps into 4163 pool
• Bullish CHoCH/MSS + BOS up on M5–M15
• Strong bullish rejection wick + FVG fill confirmation
Targets:
1. 4185 – 4187 reclaim zone
2. 4200+ institutional expansion target
3. 4212+ premium revisit
⚠️ Risk Management
• Avoid trading inside 4180 – 4195 unless displaced
• Do NOT interpret sweeps as trend entries — they are traps
• SL = structure invalidation, no averaging in consolidation
• Reduce size during monetary headlines unless MSS confirms
📝 Summary
Gold is currently in engineered liquidity mode. Expect either:
• Sweep 4214 → MSS/BOS down → drop into 4163 discount retest,
or
• Tap 4163 → bullish MSS/BOS up → expand toward 4200 – 4212+
Today = confirmation-based execution only, not trend chasing.

XAUUSD – H2: The Discount Zone Is Formed, Now Waiting for ...XAUUSD – H2: The Discount Zone Is Formed, Now Waiting for Price to Retrace for Continuation Buys
On the H2 timeframe, gold has just made a strong breakout above the 4,180 zone after a period of tight consolidation. Since it is the weekend and also Thanksgiving in the US, I will only prioritise pullback buys at discounted levels — absolutely no chasing price at the highs.
🎯 PRIMARY SETUP – BUY THE DIP at Fibo & POC Zone (4.163–4.160)
Buy Entry: 4.163 – 4.160
Stop Loss: 4.155
Take Profit: 4.178 – 4.195 – 4.220
⭐ SECONDARY SETUP – DEEPER BUY at VAL + Strong Support (4.139–4.136)
Buy Entry: 4.139 – 4.136
Stop Loss: 4.130
Take Profit: 4.150 – 4.172 – 4.190 – 4.220
I always keep total risk per setup within 1–2% of the account.
Fundamental Context
Weekend + Thanksgiving → thin liquidity, more price whipsaws near the close.
Recent comments from Trump & credit data show the economic picture and the December rate path are still uncertain.
This keeps gold supported as a defensive asset, but not strong enough to expect a straight-up rally.
Therefore, I prefer trading based on technical levels and clear zones.
Technical Analysis – H2
Market Sentiment & Trading Outlook
After the breakout, buyers still hold momentum, but the sideways movement at the top suggests partial profit-taking and liquidity patience.
In thin liquidity conditions, price often makes a liquidity sweep down into support before reversing — exactly the move I aim to catch.
Plan
Prioritise Buy at 4.163–4.160.
Only consider the deeper 4.139–4.136 setup if price flushes harder.
All trades use strict Stop Losses (4.155 & 4.130) — no widening.
Take partial profits step-by-step and trail SL as price approaches TP levels.
XAUUSD – SHORT-TERM TREND STILL UNCERTAIN, WAIT FOR PRICE TO ...XAUUSD – SHORT-TERM TREND STILL UNCERTAIN, WAIT FOR PRICE TO RETURN TO LIQUIDITY ZONES
1. Fundamental Analysis
In today’s session, gold is holding a mild pullback after touching its highest level in nearly two weeks.
Market sentiment has turned slightly more risk-on, causing capital to move away from safe-haven assets. This reduces short-term demand for gold and triggers profit-taking.
However, the Fed’s dovish expectations continue to keep the USD weak, which remains a supporting factor for gold in the medium term. Lana views the current phase mainly as a technical correction and prefers waiting for price to reach key liquidity zones before taking action.
2. Technical Analysis
On the H1 timeframe, after a strong upside move, price is slowing down and showing a confirmation of downward pressure from the upper resistance zone.
The rising trendline beneath is still holding the overall structure, suggesting the broader trend remains intact, but momentum is fading and the market is entering a more indecisive phase.
Below the price, the FVG demand zones around 4113–4111 and the deeper 4085–4088 represent liquidity areas where Lana expects buyers may step back in.
Above the price, the 4194–4196 zone is a key resistance area, aligned with supply and upper liquidity, suitable for a correction sell setup if price retests it.
3. Key Price Zones to Watch
Upper liquidity / major resistance:
• 4194 – 4196
Lower liquidity / support & FVG zones:
• 4113 – 4111: first demand zone, near the rising trendline
• 4085 – 4088: deeper FVG zone, stronger support if correction extends
4. Trade Setups
SELL: 4194 – 4196
SL: 4200
TP: 4175 – 4160 – 4122 – 4105
BUY: 4113 – 4111
SL: 4105
TP: 4133 – 4155 – 4170 – 4190
BUY: 4085 – 4088
SL: 4080
TP: 4095 – 4110 – 4133 – 4150 – 4185

Gold H1 - Can Gold reject 4167 and fall to 4133 today?🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader (27/11)
📈 Market Context
Gold is trading inside an intraday consolidation after a strong H1 displacement. The session is now primed for liquidity engineering before the next leg.
Key narrative drivers traders must respect today:
• Stronger USD expectations continue to shape risk sentiment
• Institutional desks frequently exploit sweep zones during consolidation
• Range-bound conditions favor fakeouts → displacement → expansion mechanics
• Headlines around U.S. monetary tone amplify intraday volatility
The current chart highlights balanced liquidity both above and below structure, supporting a two-way SMC playbook.
🔎 Technical Framework – Smart Money Structure (H1)
Market is holding a rising channel, but internally ranging — a typical liquidity map scenario:
• Buy-side liquidity pocket: 4180 → 4182 (premium extreme)
• Sell-side liquidity pool: 4110 → 4133 (discount extreme / origin zone)
• Internal equilibrium zone: 4150–4170 chop region (no-trade area)
We expect this sequence:
Sweep → CHoCH/BOS → Displacement → Retest → Expansion.
🎯 Trade Plans for Today
🔴SELL GOLD 4180–4182 | SL 4190
Thesis: Premium liquidity sweep above local highs before downside displacement.
Activation rules:
• Price sweeps 4182 liquidity
• Bearish CHoCH/MSS + BOS down on M5–M15
• Imbalance retest / FVG entry after structure break
Targets:
• 4167 (nearest reaction)
• 4150 (equilibrium raid)
• 4135–4133 (discount retest)
🟢 BUY GOLD 4135–4133 | SL 4125
Thesis: Sell-side liquidity sweep into the origin zone before upside impulse.
Activation rules:
• Price taps 4133 pool (sweep below structure)
• Bullish CHoCH/MSS + BOS up on M5–M15
• FVG fill / bullish rejection wick confirmation
Targets:
• 4155+
• 4167 (reclaim zone)
• 4180+ (premium raid target)
⚠️ Risk Management
• Do NOT trade inside 4150–4170 without clear displacement
• Wait for CHoCH + BOS before execution
• Treat the upper and lower zones as liquidity traps, not trend entries
• Reduce size during news spikes unless structure confirms
• SL = wave invalidation, no averaging in chop
📝 Summary
Gold is in accumulation/redistribution mode. Desks may:
• Run buy-side liquidity at 4182, then displace down → retest discount
or
• Sweep sell-side liquidity at 4133, confirm CHoCH up → expand with impulse
Today is a liquidity session, not early trend chasing. Execute only after confirmation.

XAUUSD – Waiting for Trend Confirmation Around the 4,160–4,170..XAUUSD – Waiting for Trend Confirmation Around the 4,160–4,170 Zone
At the moment, gold has not shown a clearly defined medium-term trend. Price is moving around an important resistance zone, so instead of predicting direction early, I prefer waiting for price reaction at key levels before taking action.
The main focus today is the 4,160–4,170 area – where the market will decide whether to continue the uptrend or start a deeper correction.
🎯 Scenario 1 – SELL at 4,162–4,165 (Priority if No Clear Breakout)
Sell: 4.162 – 4.165
SL: 4.173
TP: 4.140 – 4.122 – 4.110 – 4.100
The 4.162–4.165 zone on H1 is a strong resistance area combining Fibonacci confluence, previous supply, and proximity to the short-term rising trendline.
If price taps this zone and shows weakness (upper-wick rejection, reversal candle, low volume confirmation), I prefer taking a short-term sell toward 4.140, with deeper targets at the liquidity cluster around 4.110–4.100.
Risk for this scenario is capped at 1–2% per trade. Do NOT hold the position if price closes above 4.173.
⭐ Scenario 2 – BUY on Break Above 4,170 (Trend Continuation Confirmation)
Buy: 4.171 – 4.173 (only after a clean breakout)
SL: 4.163
TP: 4.188 – 4.200 – 4.215
If price breaks decisively above 4.170 and sustains above it, that confirms buyers are still in control.
In this case, I switch my bias to buying the breakout, targeting the next resistance zones around 4.200–4.215, and possibly higher if momentum remains strong.
Note: Only buy if the breakout is genuine — strong candle body closing above 4.170, not a stop-hunt wick that pulls back immediately.
1. Fundamental Outlook
The DXY continues slipping below 99.50, now near 99.45, showing sustained weakness as markets increase expectations for a December Fed rate cut.
Easier monetary conditions generally support gold because the opportunity cost of holding gold is reduced.
However, U.S. initial jobless claims have dropped to the lowest level since April, showing the labour market is still resilient.
This creates a mixed environment: rate-cut expectations support gold, but strong economic data may cause sudden volatility around news releases.
Overall, fundamentals lean slightly bullish for gold, but not strongly enough to ignore potential technical pullbacks.
2. Technical Structure
On the H1 chart, after a strong rally, gold is now consolidating right below the 4.160–4.170 resistance.
The 4.162–4.165 region is a confluence zone:
• horizontal resistance
• previous supply
• area where strong selling pressure appeared earlier
The 4.140 level is the “correction confirmation level” — if price breaks and closes below it, the market will likely aim for the major liquidity area around 4.110–4.100, where many Buy-side stop losses are clustered.
The current structure allows for both long and short setups, but each scenario requires clear price confirmation at the 4.160–4.170 zone.
3. Market Sentiment & Action Plan
Both buyers and sellers are watching the same price zone — 4.160–4.170.
This makes it a high-liquidity area where stops for both sides may get swept before the market shows its real direction.
If price rejects strongly from this zone, it could be a sign of late buyers being flushed out.
If buyers hold price above 4.170, trapped short positions may fuel a short squeeze toward higher resistance zones.
My plan: I do not enter mid-range. I wait for clear signals:
• Sell at 4.162–4.165 if reversal confirmation appears.
• Buy at 4.171–4.173 after a confirmed breakout and hold above the zone.
• Always use a hard stop-loss. No widening stops if price goes against the trade.
If price breaks both zones without giving clear signals, I stay out and wait for a new structure instead of forcing a prediction.
I always read feedback to improve how I share these analyses in future posts.
XAUUSD – Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern Still Active...XAUUSD – Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern Still Active, Continue to Prioritise Buying at POC
I maintain the view that the current dominant trend is buying based on the inverse head–and–shoulders structure, and the bullish wave is not yet complete. The plan is to wait for price to retrace into the POC zone to re-enter with the trend, avoiding chasing buys at the highs.
🎯 Main Scenario – BUY THE DIP AT POC
Buy: 4,133 – 4,130
SL: 4,123
TP: 4,155 – 4,178 – 4,200 – 4,250 – extended targets if momentum remains strong
For me, total risk per trade never exceeds 1–2% of the account. A good setup with poor risk management is still a bad trade.
1. Fundamental Context
Gold is maintaining its upward momentum, trading near its highest levels in about two weeks.
The US Dollar is weakening as markets increase bets on the Fed cutting rates soon, following data showing continued cooling in inflation.
Lower yields and a softer USD reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, supporting the flow back into safe-haven assets.
With this backdrop, I do not prioritise large sell setups. Most pullbacks are mainly opportunities for me to accumulate long positions.
2. Technical Analysis & Market Sentiment
On the H1 timeframe, gold has formed and activated an inverse head–and–shoulders pattern, confirming a bullish reversal phase.
Price is retracing to retest the POC zone around 4,133–4,130, overlapping the previous accumulation area where heavy sell orders were absorbed. This is the zone I prioritise for buying.
Below this lies a deeper FVG acting as secondary support; however, I’m not waiting for price to drop too far to avoid missing the core move of the pattern.
Regarding price behavior, recent pullbacks have been absorbed quickly, with multiple long-wick candles showing buyers are still in control. I’m waiting for a clean pullback into POC with a strong bullish reaction to trigger the entry.
3. Action Plan
Only enter positions when price returns to the 4,133–4,130 zone — absolutely no FOMO buying at higher levels.
Take partial profits at 4,155 – 4,178 – 4,200 – 4,250, leaving the remaining position open if gold continues to extend its bullish leg.
If price breaks below 4,123 and closes under that level, I will cut the trade immediately and reassess the structure — never hold on to a bias when the market has changed.

LANA_M2 XAUUSD – WAIT FOR A PULLBACK TO BUY WITH THE UPTREND ...LANA_M2 XAUUSD – WAIT FOR A PULLBACK TO BUY WITH THE UPTREND
1. Fundamental Analysis
Gold continues its bullish momentum and has just formed a two-week high as expectations for an early FOMC rate cut strengthen.
Weaker U.S. economic data, cooling bond yields, and pressure on the USD are supporting gold, both from real-yield dynamics and safe-haven demand.
With this outlook, Lana prefers waiting for a mild correction before buying with the trend, instead of chasing buys at higher prices.
2. Technical Analysis
On the H1 chart, the market structure has shifted to bullish with consecutive BOS, confirming buyer control.
FVG demand zones around 4100 and 4080 are acting as support, aligning with key swing lows after BOS.
The upper zone around 4180–4200 is an FVG supply area and a premium/ resistance zone where price may react with a short-term pullback.
With Fibonacci confluence, 4103–4105 and 4086–4088 match the 50–61.8% retracement of the latest bullish leg — ideal for waiting for a pullback to buy.
3. Key Price Zones
Support / Discount (Demand & FVG):
4103 – 4105
4086 – 4088
Resistance / Premium (Supply & FVG):
4165 – 4194 – 4202
4. Trade Setups
⭐ Primary Scenario – Buy with the Trend
Buy entry: 4103 – 4105
SL: 3998
TP: 4115 – 4130 – 4165 – 4190
⭐ Alternative Scenario – Deep Buy at Lower FVG
Buy entry: 4086 – 4088
SL: 4080
TP: 4100 – 4125 – 4146 – 4170 – 4190
⭐ Short-term Reversal – Sell at Premium Zone
Sell entry: 4194
SL: 4202

LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | Gold forming Head–Shoulders Pattern...LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | Gold forming Head–Shoulders Pattern, waiting for pullback to POC for entry
Gold is completing the final bullish leg of the Head–Shoulders structure on the H1 timeframe.
Price has now reached the Fibonacci zone (both retracement + extension), which also aligns with a resistance cluster and the POC of the Volume Profile — so the current choppy reaction is completely normal.
My plan is to use this pullback:
→ prioritize short-term Buy entries following the current bullish leg,
→ then look for Sell setups at the strong resistance above.
Macro Background
Russia continues missile strikes on Kyiv right after the US–Ukraine reached a “19-point framework”, causing peace prospects to stall again.
However, secret negotiations among the US, Russia, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi are still ongoing, though no major terms have been finalized.
With “war not stopping – negotiations not settled”, global risk sentiment remains tense.
This keeps medium–long-term demand for Gold strong.
But in the short term, price may still show wide swings around key technical zones before choosing a clearer direction.
H1 Technical Analysis – Head & Shoulders, Fibonacci, Volume Profile
The Head–Shoulders pattern is now clearly visible.
Price is currently in the right-shoulder completion phase, approaching upper resistance.
Gold at the moment is:
Hitting the Fibonacci retracement of the previous decline.
Also overlapping with the Fibonacci extension of the short-term bullish wave → high chance of reaction and volatility.
Below price, the 4090–4093 zone is a support/mini-POC area where Volume Profile thickens — ideal for a short-term Buy following the current bullish structure.
Above price, the 4185–4187 zone is a strong resistance cluster:
Confluence of potential right-shoulder top + old supply + Fibonacci extension.
This is the area I will prioritize for Sell setups once the pattern completes.
Notable Support/FVG zones:
4122–4116 (near support)
4169–4210 (mid-term FVG/resistance)
Reference Trading Scenarios
1. Buy with the current bullish wave (short-term)
Buy: 4091–4093
SL: 4085
TP: 4120 → 4145 → 4170 → 4190 → 4220
Logic:
Buy at the confluence support + small POC, taking advantage of the upward push completing the right shoulder.
Once the trade reaches +1R, shift SL to breakeven to protect capital.
2. Sell at the Head–Shoulders resistance zone (medium-term priority)
Sell: 4185–4187
SL: 4193
TP: 4170 → 4155 → 4130 → 4110
Logic:
This is a strong resistance zone overlapping the supply region and Fibonacci extension.
Only activate the Sell if H1/M15 shows clear rejection signals (pin bar, bearish engulfing, weak volume) around 4185–4187.
Additional Levels to Watch
Support – FVG: 4122–4116
Resistance – FVG: 4169–4210
Can be used for quick scalp opportunities, but the main scenarios remain:
Buy near 409x as long as major resistance hasn’t been touched.
Sell near 418x when the Head–Shoulders structure shows completion signs.
XAUUSD – TUESDAY BREAKOUT BUY SETUP, WATCH REACTIONS AT FIBO...💛 XAUUSD – TUESDAY BREAKOUT BUY SETUP, WATCH REACTIONS AT FIBO 1.618–2.618 🎯
🌤 Overview
Hello everyone, Lana here 💬
After spending several days compressed inside a triangle pattern, Gold has finally broken the descending trendline on H1, absorbed liquidity around the FVG zone, and continued to hold above the breakout area.
This shows that short-term bullish momentum is currently favored, with price targeting the higher Fibonacci extensions.
Today the market is waiting for major data releases: CPI, PPI, retail sales… These numbers can create strong volatility, especially when gold is in an “overcrowded trade” condition.
If US consumer data comes in strong, a deeper pullback may appear after a liquidity sweep.
💹 Technical Analysis (ICT Perspective)
On H1, price has:
Broken the descending trendline of the accumulation triangle.
Retested the FVG + liquidity repurchase zone around 4.101–4.105 and bounced back upward.
The 4.133–4.135 area, previously resistance, has now turned into support — a suitable zone for a buy-on-dip strategy.
Technical Targets:
Fibonacci Extension 1.618 of the current bullish leg is around 4.16xx.
Fibonacci Extension 2.618 + major liquidity pool sits around 4.23xx–4.24xx, aligning with previous highs — a zone where sellers may show strong reaction.
Overall, as long as price stays above 4.10–4.11, the short-term bullish structure remains valid.
🎯 Reference Trading Plan
💖 BUY Scenario – Priority with Trend
Buy on breakout – current price zone
Entry: 4.130–4.133
SL: 4.125
TP: 4.150 → 4.175 → 4.198 → 4.230
Buy on deeper retest
Entry: 4.100–4.103
SL: 4.095 (you may choose a tighter SL instead of 3.995 for better R:R)
TP: 4.125 → 4.150 → 4.175 → 4.198
💢 SELL Scenario – Only Short-Term Reaction at Resistance
Sell: 4.167–4.169
SL: 4.175
TP: 4.150 → 4.133 → 4.110 → 3.990
This Sell setup is only for short-term scalping against the trend — priority is to close quickly at nearby TP levels.
⚠️ Important Notes
Today includes CPI, PPI, retail sales and other US data — spreads may widen and price can spike both ways.
Gold is currently a crowded trade, so after strong rallies, deeper washout moves can occur to shake out weak positions.
Best strategy:
Prioritize Buy setups at confirmed support zones.
Reduce position size before major news; avoid holding heavy trades through data releases.
Treat Sell setups only as fast in–fast out scalps.
🌷 5. Conclusion & Interaction – With LanaM2
In summary, the breakout from the H1 triangle supports the scenario of Gold continuing upwards toward the Fibo 1.618–2.618 extension levels, as long as price stays above 4.10–4.11 💛
Today, focus on finding clean Buy entries instead of chasing price, and be cautious during CPI & PPI releases.

Brian – Gold Money Flow Map for the US Session TodayBrian – Gold Money Flow Map for the US Session Today
Technical analysis – trendline, FVG, and two clear scenarios
On H4, gold is still maintaining a medium-term uptrend line drawn from the end of October. The decline in the Asian session this morning was not strong enough to break the structure; the price touched the trendline and then bounced up, indicating that the sellers have not yet "crushed" this support area.
Current structure: The price is accumulating around the 4,050–4,080 area in a sideways candle cluster, lying on the uptrend line and above the 4,000 support.
Above, the 4,120–4,170 area is an FVG + important supply zone; higher is a larger FVG around 4,280–4,330 – if "filled," it is a potential area for a strong profit-taking move.
Below, the 4,000 mark is a key support; losing this mark, the price could quickly slide to the 3,884 area – marked on the chart as the level confirming a medium-term downtrend if breached.
Until 4,000 is broken, I consider this an accumulation area with a high possibility of "fake breaks" on both sides – so prioritize trading according to the trendline, not guessing tops and bottoms in the noise area.
Key levels
Resistance / sell zone: 4,100–4,110: buy confirmation zone, if rejected will become short-term supply
4,170–4,173: FVG / supply, medium-term short zone
4,280–4,330: large FVG above
Support: 4,048–4,050: trendline + intraday breakout zone
4,022–4,005: next support if the price slides off 4,040
4,000: psychological and structural support
3,884: final support; breaking down will confirm a medium-term downtrend
Trade scenarios (for reference, not investment advice)
1. Sell break intraday – follow the trend if the trendline breaks
Entry: sell when the price breaks the short trend at 4,048–4,050
SL: 4,056
TP: 4,040 → 4,022 → 4,005
Idea: if the price breaks below the current accumulation cluster and short trendline, I want to follow the initial selling force, targeting the adjacent support area 4,022–4,005. When the order goes right, SL can be moved to BE around 4,040.
2. Sell “premium” – short at the upper FVG zone
Entry: 4,170–4,173
SL: 4,178
TP: 4,160 → 4,145 → 4,122 → 4,100
This is a price zone I consider "beautiful" for medium-term trading if the market gives a deep retracement. FVG + H4 resistance converge; if the price is strongly rejected here, the TPs are successively the lower demand zone and the current range bottom.
3. Buy only after clean breakout – do not rush to catch the bottom
I am only interested in buy orders when the market structure truly confirms:
Trigger: H1/H2 candle closes clearly above 4,100
Entry: buy right around 4,100 after breakout
SL: 4,092
TP: medium-term towards the 4,145 → 4,170 → 4,230+ depending on momentum
This scenario considers 4,100 as the "exit door" from the current accumulation area. If this area holds as new support, buyers will have a clearer advantage and the money flow could push the price up to gradually fill the upper FVGs.

Wait for gold to retest the upper trendline before choosing a direction
Quick Overview
On the H1 timeframe, gold is still moving inside a triangle pattern with a descending upper trendline and a gradually rising lower trendline. In my view, price still needs a bullish swing to retest the upper trendline – which aligns with the FVG zone + Volume Profile POC – before deciding a new trend (either a breakout to the upside or a reversal downward).
Regarding the USD, many Fed officials have begun signaling that rate cuts may happen, but they remain very cautious. UBS and Barclays both lean towards the scenario that the Fed could cut rates in December if upcoming data continues to weaken. This limits the USD’s ability to strengthen too much, giving gold room for a technical pullback into resistance zones.
H1 Technical Analysis
Current structure: price is consolidating sideways, with lower highs along the descending trendline and higher lows supported by the lower trendline.
Zone 4079–4081:
FVG + Volume Profile POC.
This area aligns with the upper trendline → a strong confluence resistance zone, suitable for a reaction-based short setup.
Nearest support zone: around 4040–4035; if this level breaks, price may likely head back to retest 4010–4000.
A clear bullish reversal signal only forms if an uptrend structure returns, at least when price breaks and holds above 4061, then continues through the descending trendline.
Trading Scenarios (Reference Only)
Sell at FVG + POC + Trendline (Priority setup)
Entry: 4079–4081
SL: 4086
TP: 4060 → 4045 → 4010
Logic: Price is expected to move up to fill the FVG and touch the POC/trendline before sellers step back in. This zone has strong confluence, offering a better win rate than shorting inside the sideway range.
Buy when bullish structure is confirmed
Conditions: Price must break above 4061, close an H1 candle holding above this level, and break out of the descending trendline.
Entry (reference): 4061–4068 (retest of breakout zone)
SL: 4050
TP: 4095 → 4130 → 4150
In this case, the triangle pattern breaks upward, Dow Theory bullish structure returns, and the priority is buying with the new trend rather than trying to short the top.
Trading Notes
Possible scalp levels: 4060, 4040, 4010, 4130 – always wait for clear candle reactions on M5–M15 before entering.
Risk per trade: 0.5–1% of account size; once the trade reaches around 1R, move SL to breakeven to protect your capital.

LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | Gold breaks bullish structure...LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | Gold breaks bullish structure, short-term downside takes control
Gold has dropped sharply by more than $20 in a short time, losing over 1% on the day and moving close to the lower 4,030 area. The previous bullish structure has officially been broken, 4040 failed to hold, and today’s focus continues to be selling with the trend until the 4000–398x support zone shows clear reactions.
Macro Analysis
Gold prices declined as expectations for a December rate cut weakened: JPMorgan no longer forecasts a Fed rate cut in December, opposite to their earlier 25 bps cut scenario.
Some institutions still believe rising unemployment and weaker economic data may force the Fed to cut 25 bps at the upcoming meeting.
The market is currently pricing the probability of a December rate cut at nearly “50–50,” creating strong uncertainty and putting short-term pressure on gold, even though the metal still benefits in the long term if the rate-cut cycle begins.
Technical Analysis H1 – Bearish structure, price channel, and support zones
After breaking below 4040, price formed a series of Lower Highs – Lower Lows, confirming a Dow-theory bearish structure on H1.
A falling channel is forming; the channel’s upper boundary aligns with the short-term resistance zone at 4050–4060.
4000 zone: a key psychological support. If broken decisively, the medium-term structure may shift into a deeper corrective phase.
Buy Zone 3987–3989
Strong support confluence + Fibonacci extensions (1.618/2.272) of the current bearish swing
Optimal area for catching a corrective bounce if clear reversal signals appear
Key Resistance Levels Today
4052–4054: retest of former support + upper boundary of falling channel → ideal area for a pullback-sell setup.
Trading Scenarios Today (LiamTrading)
Scenario 1 – SELL with the prevailing downtrend (priority)
Entry: 4052–4054
SL: 4060
TP: 4030 → 4015 → 3990
Logic: Price retraces to resistance + channel top, suitable for trend-continuation selling. Prefer setups where M15 shows rejection candles (pin bar/bearish engulfing) around 405x.
Scenario 2 – BUY at strong support 398x (counter-trend bounce)
Entry: 3987–3989
SL: 3980
TP: 3999 → 4014 → 4040 → 4080
Logic: 398x is a high-confluence support zone; trigger only when clear price reaction appears (long lower wicks or reversal patterns on M15–H1).
This is counter-trend, so use smaller position sizes and take partial profits.
Risk Notes & Invalidation
H1 closes above 4060: short-term bearish structure weakens → pause all sell setups and reassess.
H1 closes below 3980: buy zone fails → downside could extend further; only sell setups preferred.
Always keep risk per trade at 0.5–1%, and once reaching +1R, move SL to break-even.
Are you leaning towards continuing to sell with the trend, or waiting to buy the dip at 398x?

XAUUSD–FRIDAY BEFORE PMI: MAINTAINING HEAD AND SHOULDERS PATTERN💛 XAUUSD – FRIDAY BEFORE PMI: MAINTAINING HEAD AND SHOULDERS PATTERN, WAITING TO BREAK RANGE 4132–3998 🎯
🌤 1. Overview
Hello everyone, it's Lana here again 💬
Today is the last Friday of the week, the market is waiting for PMI and preparing to enter a phase with a lot of important data in December.
Meanwhile, BTC has been rising faster than XAU in recent weeks, indicating that speculative money is leaning towards crypto, while gold is temporarily moving sideways accumulating.
The US Department of Labor will release the November employment report on December 16, which is 6 days after the December Fed meeting. In other words, the Fed is in a "blackout" state regarding labor data for nearly another month – this forces the market to price in advance, making gold's volatility range wide but lacking a clear trend.
💹 2. Technical Analysis – Range & Head and Shoulders Pattern
On the H3/H4 frame, gold is fluctuating within the large range of 4132 – 3998.
The price wave is gradually narrowing towards the end of the triangle, represented by:
Lower highs,
Higher lows,
→ When one of the two boundaries is broken, a new trend is likely to explode in the direction of the breakout.
The inverse Head – Shoulders – Head pattern has not been broken:
Left shoulder – Head – Right shoulder are all above the rising trendline.
For the final wave of the pattern to follow the rhythm, the price needs to confirm surpassing 4109:
When closing a candle above 4109, the short-term uptrend is confirmed,
At that point, gold can aim for higher liquidity areas such as 4132 → 4145 → 4200.
Conversely, if gold breaks 3998, this will be both:
breaking the range bottom,
and negating the Head and Shoulders pattern,
→ opening the possibility of a deeper decline to the 3960–3920 area.
🎯 3. Reference Trading Scenarios
💖 BUY Scenario – following the pattern & range bottom support
1️⃣ Buy at support 3998–4000
Entry: 3998–4000
SL: below 3990 (depending on risk management)
TP: 4025 → 4040 → 4078
2️⃣ Buy when confirmed above 4109
Condition: Price closes a candle above 4109, confirming the Head and Shoulders pattern is maintained.
Entry: around 4100–4105
SL: 4090
TP: 4132 → 4145 → 4200
💢 SELL Scenario – trading the upper boundary of the range
Sell: 4130–4132
SL: 4138
TP: 4110 → 4095 → 4070 → 4045
Selling should only be considered as scalping against resistance within the range, not the main trend if the Head and Shoulders pattern is still valid.
⚠️ 4. Notes & Risk Management
Range 4132–3998 is still controlling the market:
Above 4109 → prioritize Buy according to the short-term uptrend.
Below 3998 → consider shifting bias to Sell following the breakout.
PMI, Fed expectations, and upcoming employment data may trigger unexpected volatility, therefore:
🌷Gold is at the intersection of technical patterns and macro stories 💛
Be patient and wait for reactions at 3998 and 4109, as these are the two key points that determine whether we enter a new upward wave or a deeper decline.

BTC strong down trend and high RnR sell scenario..BTC is in strong down trend and broke ~ 90K level and targeting further downside levels of 82K and 75K. Price is continuously forming lower highs and BoS. Price has formed a BOS on hourly chart and approaching 1h FVG. We may expect a rejection pattern in LTF inside FVG and further downfall.
1. Price is in strong down trend and formed 1H FVG after creating BOS.
2. FVG is formed on weekly quadrant level, making it more significant,
3. Price is now approaching FVG
4. Most probably price will take liquidity of FVG/RDRB level and create MSS/CISD/TS/iFVG in LTF.
5. Price should show rejection/reversal in respective LTF (5m/15m) at FVG zone.
6. Take the trade only once clear entry model i.e. turtle soup. iFVG break, CDS or MSS happens on LTF

LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | A bearish structure has formed...LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | A bearish structure has formed, waiting for confirmation during the European session
Overall, gold is in a corrective downtrend after the previous bullish move. On the H1 timeframe, a clear Dow bearish structure (lower highs, lower lows) has formed. However, the support zone around 4,030 and the lower Fibonacci cluster are still potential areas where buying pressure may appear. Today’s European session will be crucial to confirm whether price continues to drop deeper or bounces back, aligning with the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern developing on H4.
Macro – Short Fundamental Outlook
The minutes from the Fed’s October meeting revealed a strong internal division:
One group opposed rate cuts and wanted to maintain current levels.
The other group supported cutting rates and even suggested further reductions in December.
This lack of consensus shows high uncertainty in monetary policy, encouraging defensive flows to continue favouring gold. In the long run, gold only surges when confidence in the financial system weakens — a gold price peak is not a sign of prosperity but a warning signal.
Technical Analysis – H1 (trendline, Fibonacci, liquidity)
Price is trading below the short-term descending trendline, confirming that the bearish phase remains active.
The 4,082–4,090 zone is an important liquidity zone — repeatedly tested and now acting as near-term resistance.
The 4,029–4,031 cluster is a key support area:
Overlaps with technical support + Fibonacci retracement.
Beginning of the large FVG that extends down to 3,985 (Fibo 1.618 + psychological support).
Above current price, the 4,129–4,130 zone is strong resistance. If price breaks and holds above this area, the bearish Dow structure will weaken significantly.
Suggested Trading Scenarios
BUY Scenario – Buying at Support / Fibonacci
Logic: Price holds above the support–Fibonacci zone, showing bottom-fishing demand.
Entry BUY: 4,029–4,031
SL: 4,022
TP: 4,040 → 4,065 → 4,090 → 4,120
Only consider buying if price shows strong reaction at 4,029–4,031 (long wick rejection or clear reversal candle on M15–H1).
Cancel this BUY plan if H1 closes below 4,022.
SELL Scenario – Following the current bearish structure (preferred if trendline remains intact)
Logic: Price retraces to resistance + descending trendline and gets rejected.
Entry SELL: 4,098–4,100
SL: 4,105
TP: 4,088 → 4,070 → 4,035 → 4,000–3,985
Only sell if price touches 4,098–4,100 with clear rejection (bearish pin bar/engulfing).
If H1 closes above 4,105 and breaks the trendline strongly, stop all sell setups and reassess.
Key Levels for Scalping
4,082 – 4,060 – 3,985 – 4,129
These levels can be used for quick intraday trades, but reduce position size and take profit fast.
Important Notes
If price closes firmly above the descending trendline and holds above 4,090–4,100, bias will gradually shift toward BUY setups, as an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern is forming on H4.
If the 4,029–4,022 support breaks decisively, gold is likely to drop toward the FVG and Fibonacci 1.618 zone around 3,985.

XAUUSD – CLEAR INVERSE HEAD & SHOULDERS FORMATION, CONTINUE ...💛 XAUUSD – CLEAR INVERSE HEAD & SHOULDERS FORMATION, CONTINUE TO PRIORITISE BUY SETUPS 🎯
🌤 1. Overview – Today’s Market Picture
Hello everyone, Lana here again 💬
During the Asian session this morning, gold completed the right shoulder of a very clear Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern on the H3/H4 timeframe. Those who bought following the previous setup are now in a favourable position, and in my view, this is still a good time to hold Buy positions and prepare for additional entries once the market confirms the trend.
On the macro side, according to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed cutting rates by 25bp in December has dropped to around 30–33%, while the likelihood of keeping rates unchanged remains dominant.
This means the USD is not weak enough to push gold sharply higher, but also not strong enough to suppress it—creating a volatile range-bound environment, which is ideal for technical-pattern trading.
💹 2. Technical Analysis – Inverse Head & Shoulders & Market Structure
The Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern has formed quite cleanly:
Left shoulder → Head → Right shoulder, all supported by the long-term ascending trendline.
The demand zone around 4040–4050 is acting as a liquidity box supporting the entire structure.
The neckline is currently around 4089–4090:
Once price breaks above and closes above 4089, we can consider a confirmed bullish trend.
After the breakout, gold may extend toward 4145 → 4200, which aligns with higher liquidity zones + upper FVGs.
Zone 4130–4132:
A major liquidity cluster—where many take-profit orders & short-term sell orders may appear.
If this zone is broken decisively, price may accelerate quickly toward 4200.
Zone 4040:
This is both the bottom of the pattern and a key support.
The bullish structure fails if gold closes below 4040 on H4, which would invalidate the Inverse H&S pattern.
Overall, price is currently compressing right below the neckline, and just one strong breakout could trigger the next bullish wave.
🎯 3. Reference Trading Plan (For Study Purposes Only)
💖 Primary BUY Scenario – Following the Pattern
1️⃣ Buy on retracement to support
Entry: 4060–4063
SL: 4055
TP: 4088 → 4108 → 4130 → 4143 → 4200
2️⃣ Buy the neckline breakout
Condition: Price breaks the descending trendline & neckline, and closes above 4089.
Entry: around 4089–4092
SL: 4080
TP: 4132 → 4145 → 4200
💢 Notes on SELL Setups
Selling now is counter-trend against the pattern and not the priority.
Consider only short-term sells if:
Price reacts strongly at 4132–4145, and
Clear bearish signals appear on M15–M30 (pin bar, bearish engulfing, rising sell volume).
⚠️ 4. Fundamental Factors to Watch
High probability that the Fed keeps rates unchanged → market may stay flat before data releases, then spike in volatility.
Gold remains sensitive to data: employment, inflation, and speeches from Fed officials.
🌷 In summary
The Inverse Head & Shoulders on XAUUSD supports the bullish scenario as long as price stays above 4040 💛
Strategy:
Prioritise Buy setups: first at 4060–4063, then on the breakout above 4089.
Watch the 4132–4145 zone closely—if broken, the move toward 4200 becomes highly probable.

LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | Gold Holds 0.618, Bullish Scenario...💛 LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | Gold Holds 0.618, Bullish Scenario Preferred for Wednesday 🎯
Gold continues to recover after the previous decline and is currently sitting right at the 0.618 Fibonacci level on the H1 timeframe — indicating buyers still have the upper hand. Price is also holding above the rising trendline and the thick Volume Profile area around 407x, so for today’s session, I continue to prioritise BUY setups in line with the trend.
📰 Macro – News Context
After the U.S. government reopened, the market is preparing for a series of economic data today and tomorrow → both USD and Gold may experience strong volatility.
President Trump attacked Fed Chair Powell, calling him “stupid and incompetent,” saying he once wanted to fire him immediately but was stopped by advisors.
👉 Because of this, market sentiment is very sensitive: if data leans towards a rate-cut scenario, Gold could gain additional support.
📊 Technical – H1 with Fibonacci, Trendline & Volume Profile
Fibonacci 0.618: Price is holding at the 0.618 level of the latest downswing; if this level holds, the natural target will be the upper FVG + resistance zone 4120–4150.
H1 Uptrend Line: The trendline from the recent low is supporting price very well; each retest generates a bullish reaction → an ideal area to wait for BUY entries.
Volume Profile & Liquidity:
The 4075–4080 zone is Buy Liquidity — thick volume, lots of order flow → suitable as an entry point if price retests.
VAL ~4040 and the Support + FVG area around 4020 are the next defence zones if the market sweeps deeper.
Upside liquidity:
Past H1 FVG remains unfilled up to at least 4150, so if the bullish scenario plays out, Gold can easily extend into this zone.
🎯 Trading Scenarios (LiamTrading)
1️⃣ Primary Setup – BUY with Trend
Entry: 4078–4080 (trendline retest + strong volume cluster)
SL: 4073
TP: 4094 → 4120 → 4140 → 4175
💡 Notes:
Wait for a clean M5–M15 bullish reaction (long lower wick, pin bar, or bullish engulfing) around 4078–4080 before entering.
Once price moves ~1R in profit, move SL to breakeven for account protection.
2️⃣ Short-term Scalping Zones
Support – quick buys: 4048–4023 (VAL + lower FVG zone).
Resistance – quick sells: 4121–4151 (FVG + upper liquidity zone).
These are only for scalping, so:
Enter on smaller timeframes (M5–M15).
Take profits quickly, avoid holding through major news.
✅ Summary
Short-term trend: Bullish bias as long as price holds above the H1 trendline and the 0.618 zone.
Main plan: Wait for BUY at 4078–4080, targeting 4120 → 4140 → 4175.
So, what do you think — will Gold push straight to 4150, or will it sweep down toward 404x first?

XAUUSD – Head & Shoulders Pattern Forming on H4 💛 XAUUSD – Head & Shoulders Pattern Forming on H4 🎯
🌤 Overview
Hello everyone, Lana here again 💬
After a strong drop, Gold is forming a clear Head & Shoulders structure on the H4 timeframe, aligned with the long-term ascending trendline. This pattern suggests the possibility of a bullish move back toward previous highs — but price may still dip lower to complete the structure first.
💹 Technical Analysis (ICT Perspective)
The Left Shoulder – Head – Right Shoulder is gradually shaping around the trendline + supporting FVG.
The upper 50% Fibonacci area is a reasonable zone for the right shoulder to form. If price breaks above the neckline, it may head toward the major liquidity zone around 4200.
In the short term, the 4118–4120 zone serves as resistance + neckline, making it suitable for a technical Sell setup.
The 4040–4042 area aligns with the trendline + Order Block, forming a strong support zone for potential Buy entries if price makes a deeper correction.
🎯 Trading Plan (For Reference Only)
💢 SELL Scenario (scalping at resistance)
Sell: 4118–4120
Stop Loss: 4125
Take Profit: 4105 → 4086 → 4060 → 4040
💖 BUY Scenario (preferred with the main pattern)
Buy: 4042–4040
Stop Loss: 4034
Take Profit: 4075 → 4090 → 4100 → 4140 → 4200
⚠️ Important Notes
Trading based on patterns is always expectation-driven, so combine it with candlestick confirmation on smaller timeframes (M15–M30) before entering.
Upcoming FOMC Meeting and NFP report, especially after the long U.S. government shutdown period, may cause unpredictable volatility.
Reduce position size and avoid holding large trades during major news events.
🌷 Final Thoughts from LanaM2
The H4 Head & Shoulders pattern on Gold is offering attractive opportunities for both short-term Sells and trend-aligned Buys 💛
Stay patient, wait for price to reach the marked zones, follow your stop-loss rules, and avoid FOMO during high-impact news.

BTC Swing 8R reversal scenario....BTC moved as per our plan throughout last 10-15 days and crashed to ~ 90K levels, now it has reached to its critical level of reversal, which is weekly FVG CE area. Price has already shown change in delivery at 4H level. All these making it a really good contender for a long swing trade which may even lead to all time high.
1. Price has tested CE of weekly strong FVG and formed CISD at 4-hour level.
2. Now it is testing CISD imbalance area to form proper entry model…
3. We may wait for MSS to occur in this area in 15 minutes for more precise entries.
4. Most probably price will take liquidity of FVG/RDRB level and create MSS/CISD/TS/iFVG in LTF.
5. Price should show rejection/reversal in respective LTF (5m/15m) at FVG zone.
6. Take the trade only once clear entry model i.e. turtle soup. iFVG break, CDS or MSS happens on LTF
All these combinations are signalling a high probability and ~8R trade scenario.

LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | Gold on a downward trend, hitting ...💛 LiamTrading – XAUUSD H1 | Gold on a downward trend, hitting strong support around 4005 🎯
Gold has plunged from its peak, currently “visiting” the 4005–3990 zone, where trendline + POC/OB + high liquidity converge. This is a zone where a technical rebound might occur, but the short-term trend remains bearish, so any BUY orders need to wait for clear confirmation.
🔍 Fundamental Analysis
Goldman Sachs forecasts that during 2025–2026, central banks will purchase an average of ~80 tons of gold per month, a significant driver that could push gold towards 4,900 USD/oz by the end of 2026.
This keeps the long-term trend of gold bullish, but in the short term, deep corrections like the current one are normal to “shake off” positions before big money returns.
📊 Technical Analysis
Current trend:
H1 is still in a short-term downtrend phase (lower high – lower low), with prices below the 4080–4100 resistance zone and below the nearest descending trendline.
Main support zones:
4005–3990: intersection of long-term rising trendline, POC – OB, old VAH/VAL zone → crucial support, potential for bottom-fishing buying force.
3975–3977: deeper support, coinciding with liquidity zone & recent low.
Key resistance zones:
4098–4100: confluence of resistance + trendline test → ideal zone to watch for SELL retracement.
Above is the cluster 4011 – 4053 – 4077 – 4098–4100 acting like “steps” for scalping orders.
Volume Profile:
Heavy trading volume around the 4000–4020 zone → prices tend to revisit this area multiple times before moving away.
🎯 Reference Trading Scenarios
SELL – following the downtrend (priority)
Entry: 4098–4100
SL: 4105
TP: 4082 → 4060 → 4035 → 4012
Price retraces to resistance + descending trendline.
Only trigger when M15–H1 shows clear rejection candles (pin bar/bearish engulfing) around 4098–4100.
BUY – catching the rebound at strong support
Entry: 3975–3977
SL: 3970
TP: 3995 → 4025 → 4050 → 4080
Confluence support zone at channel bottom + POC/OB + liquidity.
Only BUY when there is strong rejection or a clear reversal pattern (M15–H1).
⚠️ Price zones to watch for scalping
4011 – 4053 – 4077 – 3939
These zones are suitable for short scalps, prioritising the main trend (currently bearish), quick exits – do not hold positions too long.
🧠 Risks & Invalidations
H1 closes above 4105 → reduces SELL priority, wait for new structure.
H1 closes below 3970 → bad structure for BUY side, potential for further decline to lower zones.

XAUUSD – TWO MAIN SCENARIOS FOR THE DAY: MONITOR REACTION AT...💛 XAUUSD – TWO MAIN SCENARIOS FOR THE DAY: MONITOR REACTION AT TRENDLINE 🎯
🌤 1. Overview
Hello everyone 💬
Gold is currently waiting at the H4 trendline, indicating the market is lacking volume to decide the next direction.
Although the price is adjusting after the drop from the 4,400 USD zone, the larger trend is still supported by strong buying flows from central banks.
💹 Market Context
According to Goldman Sachs, the current decline is only temporary, as the demand for gold as a safe haven asset remains strong:
US bond yields are falling
USD is weakening
The US economy is under pressure from unemployment and inflation
In September alone, central banks purchased 64 tonnes of gold, and forecasts suggest that November may continue this strong accumulation trend.
💹 Technical Analysis
📉 If Gold breaks below the trendline → the market will trigger strong selling pressure, pulling back to the 395x zone, where there is low liquidity and important support.
📈 Conversely, if the price holds the trendline and volume pushes up, a short-term upward structure will form.
📌 The 4068 zone is a key level — if the price retests this area and falls back, Buy will only activate when it reaches 4034.
🎯 Reference Trading Scenarios
🔻 SELL – When breaking the trendline (priority if volume is strong)
Sell 4036–4038 │ SL: 4044

⚠️ Important Note
Volume is currently low, making the market prone to stop sweeps, so enter orders with small volume.
The larger trend is still supported by flows from central banks, but in the short term, Gold may fluctuate strongly around the trendline.
Prioritize trading based on price reactions at key zones rather than predicting direction in advance.

Gold is experiencing a sharp decline amidst global market liquidity pressures. The simultaneous drop in gold, stocks, and Bitcoin indicates that capital is being withdrawn from risky assets and even safe havens, similar to tense periods like the 2008 crisis or the early 2020 pandemic. Investors are selling profitable assets to cover losses elsewhere.
In the long run, gold usually recovers sooner, but in the short term, the downtrend still prevails.
On H1, the price is below the descending trendline, under the 4100 resistance, and is moving in a clear Lower High – Lower Low structure. This is a good signal to continue prioritising SELL orders retracing to resistance.
🔍 Technical Analysis (Trendline • S/R • Fibonacci • Liquidity)
The descending trendline is the biggest barrier; each time the price hits the trendline, it is strongly rejected.
Main Resistance:
4098–4100: resistance area + confluence with the trendline.
4120–4130: stronger area if the price retraces deeply (close to Fibo 0.382).
Target Support:
4065: intermediate support – where the price has bounced slightly several times before.
4040 – 4025: large liquidity area – confluence with the H1 FVG bottom.
3985–3995: the end zone of the down wave if the selling force expands.
Liquidity Zone:
Many liquidity sweep bottoms continuously → indicates that the selling force still prevails.
The lower FVG area (around 4025–4040) is highly likely to be filled within the week.
📉 Trading Scenario (prioritise SELL retracement)
Scenario – SELL retracement to trendline + resistance (priority)
Entry: 4098–4100
SL: 4106
TP: 4088 → 4065 → 4040 → 4025
💡 Suggestion: Wait for M5–M15 to form a rejection candle (pin bar / bearish engulfing) before executing the order.
When to BUY?
Only BUY if:
H1 closes above 4120, breaking the descending trendline → short-term trend phase change.
If this signal is not present → do not rush to buy against the trend.
⚠️ Important Note
The phenomenon of “selling everything to hold cash” may continue → gold may remain under pressure in the short term.
