Just bought gold here at 4788. TP 4915.
Hop out here at 4835. Good money in the bag. Remember guys, not proper shorts yet. 4915 should get hit. It might chop and change but it should get there. As for me, no shorts till near or above 5138.

{quote} Update: Based on the chart, the first long entry was the real execution point. Not all my entries activate exactly at the ideal execution point because sometimes there’s a slip from spread, but my SL rule is fixed. My stop is always adjusted to be 7K points from the ideal execution area, even if my entry slips above or below it. If I had taken the first long and adjusted the SL from the ideal execution point, the move would’ve come within 1 dollar of the SL and the position would still be open. That’s why the first trigger was the correct...
Update (I don’t know if anyone is tracking the same pattern or wants to understand it, but this is for me in the future):

I was wrong and right at the same time. I was right that the main setup was triggered, and any execution based on that setup would most likely succeed because my SL math is built for extreme moves. But I was also wrong because I repeated one of my old execution mistakes. I am talking here about the old entry on 8/1/2026, not today. In that old entry the trigger happened during the news release inside the 1 to 5 minute window, and I executed by mistake, forgetting the news, and held the position. The market came one dollar away from my SL before hitting TP.

Today I understood the structure behind that behavior.
When a setup triggers inside a high impact news window (10 minutes before or inside the first 5 minutes of the news candle), the market reacts in two possible ways:

1. The setup is not completed
Not completed means the setup area is still intact and has not been broken after the first trigger.
In this case the market does not need to rebuild anything.
After the news noise, the market simply triggers the same setup again with a clean signal.
2. The setup is completed but triggered inside the noise
Completed means the setup area has been broken after the trigger.
If the trigger happens inside the noise, the market often rebuilds the same setup from the same base.
This rebuild can happen once or multiple times before the clean trigger appears.

The old example was the first case. I thought I was lucky, but the setup was not completed after the first noisy trigger. It triggered twice, and the correct execution was on the second trigger because the structure was still intact and only needed a clean second trigger after the news noise.

Today was the second case.
The setup triggered and completed. The setup area was around 4769, and the buildup was based on 4767 (green arrow). After the breakout above 4769, which counts as a completed triggered setup, the market came back and rebuilt the same setup again. It happened twice (red arrows). That made the second trigger more confirmed than the first and gave the same setup but after the noise was gone.

The clean and perfect execution today was actually after my SL got hit, and I should have waited for the same main setup to rebuild and trigger again, or simply stayed out.

{quote} I think it should test 5100 once after that negotiations will decide where it has to go...
Daily closing above 4778.270 they should test now that zone or at least average that price with the close...
Is bullish pattern more times than not, but not always, the probability of testing again in daily is very high...

As a test even lower probabilities can win, but is not what i expect, particulary having into account is a weekly level too...

Catching this move wasn't easy. I went long during the Asian session, but it kept retracing fast/quick moves to break even (BE) or hitting my stop.. I tried entering 4 or 5 more times when it looked ready to pop, but it was the same story every time. I eventually walked away having paid about $250 in commissions with zero profit to show for it. I was able to catch some of the NY move up but with small lots. There was definitely a heavy seller sitting there for a while, maybe still there as this move up was feeling heavy.

This looks like a very similar pattern to last night albeit a 100(0) pip difference
maybe the opening for apac we might see 4865-75

Resume..... My main thema was extension bullish....with sell for " retracement" and to fill tge gap ( that no obligation to be filled soon).... Range 474x low...and not break 4800 yet....H4 potential bullish ...expected break 4800. So....for NY will only lookung for buy setup....or no trade if flip to bear today..... Daily target achived so no need to rush.... The hardest for day trader is to decide " no trade" Happy green pips all
Extension bullish setup@ NY.....succeed

{quote} Fundamentally and technically, it is difficult to predict gold nowadays. Because, tweets from Trump or Iran/Israel changes everything in a second. But, in general (fundamentally), it seems that when there is hope about ending Iran war soon, then oil, Usd goes down and SP500, Gold, Eur, Jpy goes up. It looks that this is the pattern in general nowadays. Even already elevated US CPI and therefore emerging rate hike talks are mostly ignored by markets in the short term (their effect to SP500 and Gold was limited). And it may continue so, because...
I expect test of 4900 (daily 50-days MA) tomorrow. No bearish sign yet and momentum is strong at daily chart. Markets continue buying possible end of Iran war. It seems that optimism will continue at least until the second round of talks at Pakistan. There can be slow down at up momentum or some consolidation but I don't expect hard selling until negotiations collapse again.
