XAUUSD – Intraday H1 Plan Range-Bound Volatility(November 5, 2025)
🌐 MARKET CONTEXT
Gold is trading within a narrow range around ₹3,963 – ₹4,015, showing indecision between safe-haven demand and short-term profit-taking pressure.
After the previous New York session, price created a new local low near ₹3,962.92, then quickly rebounded as dip buyers stepped in.
However, the ₹4,015–₹4,020 zone remains a strong supply area, limiting further upside momentum.
Bias for today: Ranging with mild bullish potential
→ Prefer buying at lower supports and taking profits quickly near the ₹4,015–₹4,020 supply zone.
If price breaks below ₹3,962, deeper downside movement toward ₹3,945 may occur.
📉 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS (SMC + LIQUIDITY STRUCTURE)
Market Structure: On the H1 timeframe, XAUUSD is consolidating between the strong demand zone ₹3,962–₹3,965 and the supply zone ₹4,015–₹4,020, forming a clear sideways range.
Liquidity Map:
Below ₹3,962 lies heavy sell-side liquidity, which Smart Money may sweep before a reversal.
Above ₹4,015–₹4,020 sits buy-side liquidity, serving as the next liquidity target if a breakout occurs.

⚙️ TRADE SETUPS
✅ BUY SCENARIO 2 – OB Reaction Entry
Entry: ₹3,935 – ₹3,934
Stoploss: ₹3,928
TP1: ₹3,970
TP2: ₹4,000
Logic: Price may sweep liquidity below the FVG and mitigate the H1 Bullish Order Block (₹3,935–₹3,944); if CHoCH/BOS confirms reversal, enter buy targeting the previous imbalance and liquidity above ₹4,000.

Entry: ₹3,955 – ₹3,954
Stoploss: ₹3,948
TP1: ₹3,985
TP2: ₹4,015
Logic: Price retraces to fill the ₹3,955–₹3,954 H1 FVG within the discount zone; if bullish CHoCH/BOS confirms a reversal, execute buy entry targeting liquidity above recent highs.
🔻 SELL SCENARIO – From Short-Term Supply Zone
Entry: ₹4,011 – ₹4,009
Stoploss: ₹4,017
TP1: ₹3,990.000
TP2: ₹3,965.000
Logic: Price reaches supply zone, forms rejection or bearish engulfing → valid short setup within range.
⚠️ SCALPING SELL – Quick Reversal Opportunity
Entry: ₹4,020 – ₹4,022
Stoploss: ₹4,028
TP: ₹4,000.000 – ₹3,985
Logic: If price spikes to ₹4,020–₹4,022 sweeping buy-side liquidity and quickly rejects → short scalp opportunity.
🧠 NOTES / SESSION PLAN
Focus on London and New York sessions when liquidity is highest.
Wait for H1 candle confirmation (wick, retest, or CHoCH) before entering any trade.
Avoid trading just because price touches the zone — confirmation is key.
Risk management: limit exposure to ≤1% per trade; maintain at least a 1:2 RR ratio.
When price approaches entry zones, use M15 timeframe to confirm structure and momentum before executing.
🏁 CONCLUSION
Within the ₹3,962.92 – ₹4,015.04 range, XAUUSD is consolidating tightly.
→ Prefer buying near ₹3,965–₹3,963 upon confirmation, or deep buys at ₹3,958–₹3,956 after liquidity sweep.
→ Conversely, if price rallies to ₹4,015–₹4,020 and shows rejection signals, short opportunities may arise.
Trade according to structure, wait for confirmations, and manage risk strictly to avoid stop-hunts.
