Gold shakes violently | Priority Buy on dip to support

3 days ago

🟡 XAU/USD – 24/09 | Captain Vincent ⚓

🔎 Captain’s Log – Context & News

Geopolitics: Trump unexpectedly supported Ukraine reclaiming full territory and called on NATO to be tougher on Russia → defensive sentiment returned, supporting Gold.

US Economy: Housing data due today, no FED speeches.

Earlier: Weak US PMI + dovish FED tone → no momentum for a prolonged downtrend.

Price Action: Gold dropped more than 20 points overnight, then quickly rebounded to 3,76x → likely profit-taking pressure at higher levels.

⏩ Captain’s Summary: Main trend stays bullish, but the voyage will remain choppy as Gold absorbs profit-taking near resistance.

⚓ Captain’s Note

“The Golden ship rocked violently overnight but still anchored firmly at Golden Harbor 🏝️ (3,754 – 3,741). Profit-taking waves may still rise at Storm Breaker 🌊 (3,797 – 3,815), suitable for short Quick Boarding 🚤 scalps. Yet the main voyage continues north – Buy the Dip remains the compass to follow the strong winds.”

Trade closed: target reached

Quick Recap

Gold followed the planned decline; each touch of the marked zones reacted with at least +50 pips.

Positive U.S. housing data → strengthened USD → downside pressure on gold yesterday.

Current Status
Price just tapped the M30 Order Block and bounced.
EMA 34/89 has crossed down, confirming the primary downtrend → the current rise is viewed as a pullback.

Action Plan (prioritize “sell the rally”)

Wait for a pullback to the nearest resistance/OB on M15–M30 to sell with the trend.

Entry confirmation: wait for weakening signals (rejection candles, long upper wicks, micro BOS on M5–M15).

Risk Management

SL above the latest pullback high / top of the OB.

Scale out TPs (at least 2–3 targets) and move SL to BE after +40–60 pips.

Alternative Scenario
If price closes decisively above the OB and EMA 34/89 “open up,” go flat/sideways, then cross up → pause sell setup and wait for a new structure.

Note
Don’t chase when price is dumping; prioritize selling at good zones after confirmation.
