{quote} today gold has been choppy since hitting 4694. it just now did 4711 but volumes are pretty low since china opening + 2 hrs. cannot trust this mini rally till germans confirm
Is why i still am awake and not sleeping, seeing the daily fractal close that can be tested and 1h average price, if i close it or not...
One thing i am sure, at 4am Ny i close this runner if don't expand lower...

Despite daily respect prior break as expected, respect also a failed daily fractal, all lines up bearish... Don't like let money on the table already earned, i have lower tf limits.

Maersk confirms that the strait remains firmly closed. they sold initially and the option writers are protecting 4692.. lets see how long.

Now you can saw there are buyers below, and bearish, so i need keep waiting and the movent was at 1h average, despite 4711.290 is a strong level than average...
At the moment ready to close the runner with a 15m close above 4711.290, even if i loose what initial i read.

i still think we will blow 4692 on the 3rd attempt. we need volumes which are not there

To me we are bearish and that low is asking to be taped...
But as i said prior there are potential tests to be made, so i accept bullish also, but not as bias for today without they get back at least 4726.085 in 4H, because we also not close fully the fractal as bearish, but is a pretty good indication aligned with what yesterday did.

Gold H1 Analysis Gold is currently trading inside a clear descending channel after a strong bearish move and the recent bounce looks corrective rather than a trend reversal. Price is struggling around the 4755-4765 resistance zone and a descending trendline showing rejection and weak bullish momentum. Structure remains bearish with lower highs forming and unless price breaks and sustains above 4770-4780 downside pressure is likely to continue. The projected path suggests a possible short-term push up into resistance followed by a continuation move...
4730 and 4700 levels cleared and waiting for final target

No more money left to them...
Don't get me wrong, is not a shift to me yet...
Is not worthy risk what already was earned....

The H4 Swing established since April 21st is still intact. It means that the 4635-4650 remains a legitimate target.
The best the bulls have attained since then was Fib 61.8 of the Swing yesterday; and today the highest has been Fib 50. As at now, PA has crossed Fib 23.6 but finding it difficult to get to Fib 38.2, with EMA 500 on H4 blocking the way.
In all, the outlook is bearish but advantage should be taken of any definite push upstairs.
Happy hunting to all of us, today

yes too choppy but it still has to close the gap at 4735 for more bullishness

Colleagues, I wish to draw your attention to the on-going battle at the present.
M30 is bullish but the only stumbling block it is having is EMA 500/H4 at 4715.
M15 met the same road block and is posting a bearish hammer.
Who will win this battle, M30 for the bulls or M15 for the bears?

Gold (XAUUSD) – What I’m watching
Gold still looks strong overall.
On the higher timeframes the trend is clearly up, and the recent drop feels more like a correction than a real shift.
H4 pulled back nicely and started to stabilize.
On H1 you can already see buyers stepping in again.
For me, it’s a buy-side market — just a matter of getting in at the right place.
Plan 1 – Breakout continuation
I’m looking to catch momentum if price breaks higher:

  1. Buy Stop: 4728
  2. Stop Loss: 4688
  3. Targets: 4780 / 4830 / 4900

If price pushes through that level, it should move clean.
Plan 2 – Pullback entry
If price dips first, I’d rather buy it cheaper:

  1. Buy Limit: 4695 – 4705
  2. Stop Loss: 4660
  3. Targets: 4755 / 4800 / 4870

This would be the more comfortable entry with better risk-reward.
Invalidation
If H1 starts closing below 4660, I’m out of the idea.
That would suggest the structure is weakening.
Bottom line
I’m not interested in selling gold here.
As long as the structure holds, I’ll keep looking for buys only.

This current price has a strong floor , if it may fall from here more for corrections I don't find the reason because Fed rate change news was the hours before the market already moved now why it may go down I don't know what will be the reason?

I think gold is heading bearish. I have a couple of short entries in already. I'm using mostly price action for my entries along with a bit of geometry/astrology. My entry here though is a valid price action setup imo even without the geometry or astrology.

Morning, here are my zones for London. This week has been shitty for my portfolio, but overall I am up this month. I have no problem finishing red this week as long as the month is green(and maybe next week). The reason was the weird price action but also some of my entries(and lack of when I see my setups). Let's see what today will offer

just back to the Platform. So, M15 won the battle after more than one hour but not before conceding 6 pips on the upside
