Gold XAUUSD 30M – Intraday Range Plan

133
Price is holding between $3,379.19 (resistance) and $3,357.56 (support). We are sitting in the middle of the box near $3,363–$3,364, with choppy candles showing hesitation. Scalps are possible, but reversals can be sharp inside this range.

🔼 Bullish Plan (needs confirmation)

Trigger: A clean 30min close above $3,379.19 (not just a wick).

Targets: First into $3,381.73, then $3,384.47. If momentum stays, room opens for $3,390+.

Management: Take partials at the first target, move SL to breakeven once $3,379 is defended.


🔽 Bearish Plan (cleaner below support)

Trigger: A 30min body close below $3,357.56.

Targets: First into $3,354.68, then $3,352.27. If sellers stay aggressive, extension into $3,347.98.

Management: Scale out at first target, protect remaining at breakeven.

🔄 Range Scalp (higher risk, small size)

Shorts: Near $3,379 on a strong rejection → aim for mid-range $3,365–$3,367, SL above rejection high.

Longs: Near $3,357–$3,358 on rejection wick → aim mid-range, SL under lows.
⚠️ Use reduced size – fast whipsaws possible inside this chop.

✅ What Confirms a Break

Strong 30min body close through the level.

Follow through with momentum candles.

❌ What Invalidates

Breakout candle closes back inside range on the next bar → likely trap.

Multiple wick pierces with no follow through.

📌 Bottom Line

Above $3,379.19 → bullish bias toward $3,384.47+.

Below $3,357.56 → bearish bias toward $3,352.27 and $3,347.98.

Inside the box = scalp zone only, manage risk carefully.
