Trade is purely based on the technicals that have aligned in the market. USD continues its strength in move with a partial pullback in price. We are at a strong technical level with gold.

Confluence Details:

1. Higher timeframe details strength in a downtrend

2. Lower timeframe can see HH and HL created with a final HH above $1801.31 as 3-leg extension completion. This will also complete a bearish fakeout.

3. $1803.50 is a liquidity zone as seen per previous structural levels

4. There's also confluence at $1803.50 with H1 0.5 Fib Retracement Level and 1.272 Fib Extension Level

5. Prices have shown resistance at $1800.00. We can see price breach this level for a liquidity grab before pushing prices further downwards to continue the overall downtrend. As a result, this is a good risk-reward opportunity identified.
