Gold Liquidity Sweep – Recovery or Bull Trap Before NFP?

568
Gold rebounded sharply after sweeping liquidity below recent lows, triggering a strong short-covering rally as institutional traders reposition for the start of Q3. Meanwhile, the USD has paused its recent strength ahead of this week's key events, including ISM Manufacturing PMI and Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP).

Technically, Gold has completed a bullish liquidity sweep and is now attempting to reclaim the 4,040 resistance zone. A successful breakout could open the way toward the next supply area around 4,110, while failure at resistance may signal another bearish continuation.

IF–THEN Scenario
If price breaks and holds above 4,040, bullish momentum could extend toward 4,110.
If price is rejected at 4,040, sellers may regain control and push Gold back toward recent lows.

Although short-term momentum has turned bullish, the overall direction will likely depend on the upcoming ISM PMI and NFP, which are expected to drive significant volatility.
