USDCAD - Bulls Preparing to Reload!📈USDCAD has been moving within a clear ascending channel, maintaining a well-defined bullish structure over the past months. After rejecting the upper bound, price is now pulling back toward a key confluence area, the intersection of the orange support zone and the lower trendline of the channel. 🏹This zone is crucial, as it has acted as a strong demand area in the past, where buyers consistently regained control. From here, I’ll be looking for long setups, aiming for a continuation toward the upper bound of the channel once more. ⚔️As long as the price holds above the orange zone, the overall bullish momentum remains intact. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.

WATCHING FOR CLOSE PRICE TODAYMorning folks, So, pullback to 106K area has happened rather accurately. D. Trump once again has made a verbal intervention with promise of 2K and shutdown end, but this is too early to believe. As usual no one D. Trump promise has made a long lasted effect. All of them were reversed in a few days. No Supreme Court decision yet on tariffs, now it is appeared that it will be not a 2K in cash but just tax adjustment, shutdown is still lasting and liquidity issues remain. So, I would say - it is too early to celebrate. Meantime, on technical side we have clear signals. First is, if market will close today under 105.5K - we get daily bearish grabber. As you can see on 4H chart - it will appear right around strong resistance area. So, it might happen, that we will have to go short instead as market could drop again under 100K area... Thus don't relax and don't believe in this suspicious euphoria, everything could change in a blink of an eye. Still, upward action above 108K could confirm the bullish sentiment.

Gold 1H – Is This Pump Temporary or the Start of a Bigger Move?🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold extended its bullish leg overnight, driven by a sharp upside displacement following a clean ChoCH on the H1 structure. However, the impulsive rally is now pushing deep into premium territory, where higher-timeframe supply begins to re-enter the picture. Market sentiment remains cautious ahead of U.S. consumer confidence data and upcoming comments from several Fed officials. • A hawkish tone could strengthen the dollar intraday, making the current rally vulnerable to a pullback. • A neutral or dovish signal may allow gold to sweep higher liquidity before forming its next decisive move. Price is currently tapping into resting buy-side liquidity above 4060–4070, with the next pool sitting just beneath the 4090 supply zone, making this an ideal location for short-term reversals. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: H1 bias remains bullish after the major ChoCH, but price is now entering an exhaustion phase as it reaches unmitigated supply. • Premium Zone: 4090–4088 aligns with the freshest H1 supply, formed right before the displacement — a prime location for a short-term reversal. • Liquidity Sweep: The candles show aggressive wicks into higher liquidity, suggesting the market may engineer one final sweep into 4090 before rotating downward. • Discount Zone: 3974–3976 lines up with unmitigated demand and sits directly below the previous accumulation range — an ideal discount level for continuation buys if price retraces. 🔴 Sell Setup (High-Probability Reversal) • Entry: 4090 – 4088 • Stop-Loss: 4100 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4040 (first liquidity pocket) → 4005 (return to structure) → 3976 (discount zone & demand confluence) 🟢 Buy Setup (Demand Reaction Setup) • Entry: 3974 – 3976 • Stop-Loss: 3967 • Take-Profit Targets: → 4005 → 4040 → 4080 (Only valid if price performs a liquidity sweep into 3976 and prints a clean M15 ChoCH.) ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Avoid entering early inside the premium zone — wait for bearish confirmation (M5–M15 BOS). • The demand at 3974–3976 is strong but only valid once liquidity beneath the range has been fully taken. • Do not chase buys near current levels; price is overextended and has no discount alignment. • Partial profits should be secured at each liquidity point, with stops trailed using structural highs/lows. • Intraday bias remains bullish-to-neutral, but current price is at an extreme, making shorts more favorable short-term. ✅ Summary Gold is reaching into a major premium zone near 4090, where a short-term reversal becomes highly probable. The 4090–4088 supply provides a clean, high-quality SMC continuation-short setup, while the 3974–3976 demand zone remains the strongest location for reactive long positions. Stay patient — today’s movement will likely determine whether the recent pump is temporary or the beginning of a broader structural shift. FOLLOW RYAN_TITANTRADER for daily SMC setups ⚡

Gold 4H – Key Liquidity Zones Ahead of US PMI & Fed Commentary🥇 XAUUSD – Weekly Smart Money Outlook | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold continues to consolidate within a tight 4H range as traders prepare for a week influenced by U.S. PMI releases, Fed speeches, and shifting rate-cut expectations. Mixed economic signals — including softer labor data but resilient manufacturing prints — have kept gold trapped between supply overhead and stacked demand levels below. Institutional flows remain cautious, with markets waiting for clarity on the Fed’s stance. This uncertainty often fuels liquidity-driven sweeps, making this week especially favorable for SMC-style setups. Short-term volatility is expected as price interacts with major liquidity pools on both ends of the range. 🔎 Technical Analysis (4H / SMC View) • Price is moving within a well-defined range structure, with repeated liquidity grabs on both sides indicating accumulation by larger players. • The latest 4H ChoCH signals continued hesitation from buyers near the mid-range, hinting that the market may engineer another sweep before committing to a directional leg. • A significant Premium Supply Zone at 4154–4152 sits just above recent equal highs — an attractive area for liquidity hunts followed by potential short-term distribution. • Conversely, the Discount Demand Zone at 3907–3909 aligns with previous structural reaction levels and sits below a liquidity shelf, making it an ideal zone for re-accumulation. • Expect engineered stop-hunts around mid-range liquidity (4000–4016) before a stronger move develops. 🟢 Buy Zone: 3907–3909 SL: 3900 TP targets: 3978 → 4003 → 4016 → 4125 Rationale: • Discount zone within the current 4H range • Liquidity resting below the structure lows • Potential accumulation before the next bullish impulse 🔴 Sell Zone: 4154–4152 SL: 4161 TP targets: 4080 → 4016 → 3978 → 3920 Rationale: • Premium supply positioned above equal-high liquidity • Likely area for a sweep before corrective downside • Confluence with previous 4H structure rejection ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Wait for M15 ChoCH or BOS confirmation inside each zone before entering. • Expect liquidity manipulation around 4000–4016, especially during US session opens. • Avoid entries 10–15 minutes before major Fed or PMI releases to limit spread expansion. • Scale partial profits at each structural target to lock in gains while letting runners play out. ✅ Summary Gold remains in a controlled 4H range with clear institutional footprints above and below the current price. Smart Money is likely to engineer a move into either the 4150 supply or the 3900 demand before choosing its next major direction. Both setups offer high-probability opportunities when combined with intraday confirmations. Stay patient, wait for liquidity sweeps, and respect structure. Premium sells remain valid at 4154–4152, while discounted buys are favored at 3907–3909. 🔔 FOLLOW RYAN_TITANTRADER for daily SMC setups ⚡

Gold 1H – Pullback Expected as USD Softens After Jobless Claims🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold is trading within a corrective structure today as the U.S. dollar weakens slightly following higher-than-expected Jobless Claims. Market sentiment remains mixed ahead of upcoming Fed speeches, which could provide clues about December policy expectations. • A more hawkish tone could trigger a deeper downside move toward unfilled discount zones. • Conversely, any dovish signals may push gold into a short-term liquidity grab before resuming its corrective trend. Liquidity remains concentrated near the $4,030 area, where price may tap into resting buy-side liquidity before forming the next bearish leg. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: Current bias shows corrective bearish intent following recent ChoCH → BOS sequence on H1. • Premium Zone: The 4030–4028 region aligns with an unmitigated H1 supply — ideal for continuation shorts. • Liquidity Sweep: Price may reach 4030 to sweep early breakout buyers before confirming downside continuation. • Discount Zone: Strong demand sits at 3932–3934, overlapping with previous bullish displacement and unmitigated demand. 🔴 Sell Setup • Entry: 4030 – 4028 • Stop-Loss: 4040 • Take-Profit Targets: → 3980 → 3964 → 3934 (major demand zone) 🟢 Buy Setup (Countertrend Reaction) • Entry: 3932 – 3934 • Stop-Loss: 3925 • Take-Profit Targets: → 3964→ 3995 → 4020 (Only valid if liquidity sweep and bullish reaction occur at the demand zone) ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Wait for M15 BOS/ChoCH confirmation at both zones to avoid premature entries. • Avoid trading directly at the minor support around 3964 — it is not a valid SMC entry zone. • Prioritize the sell setup; intraday bias remains corrective-bearish within a broader range. • Secure partial profits at the first liquidity target and trail stops according to structure. ✅ Summary Gold is likely to seek premium liquidity near 4030 before resuming its corrective move lower. The 4030–4028 supply area offers a clean continuation-short entry, while 3932–3934 remains the strongest discount zone for reactive long setups. Stay adaptable — the market maintains a mild bearish tone while waiting for further Fed guidance. FOLLOW RYAN_TITANTRADER for daily SMC setups ⚡

BTC - CHANCES ON COLLAPSE ARE RAISINGMorning folks, So, BTC has failed to start upside action as with our 4H H&S as with 30-min H&S that we mentioned last time as a tool for long entry. The last one actually has not been formed at all. So, no entry signal followed. Now, based on 4H picture, nominally we still could believe that H&S will survive and BTC still will reverse up. We do not argue, but... this might happen only by some external driver. It will be some wild card scenario, but we can't make a bet on it. Technical picture looks weak, and suggests price return back to 105K lows. To return back to bullish view we need to get upside jump and confirmation of validity of this H&S pattern. In this case bullish scenario will be possible. Now we prefer to stay aside from any bullish trades.

BTC - BACK TO H&S PATTERN AND 110.3-111.50K Morning folks, In last two weeks we prefer to stay aside as market was forming contradictive signals, although we have a theory of mid term price shape. In a recent few sessions BTC starts looking more bullish, cancelled potential 3-Drive scenario and is returning back to the shape of H&S pattern. Now price is completing AB=CD target and comes to 5/8 Fib resistance level, which is also the neckline of the pattern. Thus, if everything will go with the plan, 110.3-111.5K seems the first area where there right arm might be formed. So let's keep looking over it.

3-DRIVE INSTEAD OF H&S WITH 101-102K TARGETMorning folks, Last time we acknowledged some BTC efforts to reverse up, but decided to wait for more confirmation and more confidence. So, this bet seems is failing. Because fast jump was immediately reversed, and this is not the type of action that you expect from bullish market that supposedly is forming the H&S pattern... It leads us to suggestion of 3-Drive "Buy" instead, with potential target around 101-102K area. At least now we prefer to stay aside from any bullish positions here.

Gold 1H – Bearish Reaction After Consecutive Gains🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context After several sessions of steady gains, gold is showing signs of exhaustion as U.S. Treasury yields stabilize and traders reassess the Federal Reserve’s next move. The market’s focus today is on U.S. housing data and Fed officials’ remarks, which could shape expectations for the December policy outlook. • A hawkish tone from policymakers may strengthen the dollar and pressure gold lower. • Conversely, softer remarks could briefly trigger buying around key discount zones, but the overall tone remains corrective after the recent rally. Market liquidity is concentrated near the $4,230 area — where price may tap into unmitigated supply before continuing its bearish leg. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: The overall bias has shifted bearish following consecutive ChoCH and BOS formations. • Premium Zone: The 4,230–4,228 area aligns with an H1 order block and previous liquidity pool — a prime zone for short re-entry. • Liquidity Sweep: The recent upside push toward 4,230 may sweep late buyers before the next bearish leg unfolds. • Discount Zone: Short-term liquidity may rest around 4,080–4,100, which aligns with previous sell-side imbalance (SSI) and acts as an intraday reaction zone. 🔴 Sell Setup • Entry: 4,230 – 4,228 • Stop-Loss: 4,240 • Take-Profit Targets: 4,100 → 4,080 → 4,050+ 🟢 Buy Scalp Setup (Short-Term Countermove) • Entry: 4,081 – 4,083 • Stop-Loss: 4,074 • Take-Profit Targets: 4,100 → 4,115 (Only valid if liquidity sweep confirms reaction within discount zone) ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Confirm M15 BOS/ChoCH before entry — avoid blind orders during news. • Reduce position size for scalp entries; primary directional bias remains bearish. • Lock partial profits near first liquidity targets and trail stops as structure confirms continuation. ✅ Summary Gold faces near-term correction pressure after multiple bullish sessions. The 4,230–4,228 zone offers a clean premium OB entry for continuation shorts, while reactive buyers may scalp intraday from 4,081 if liquidity sweeps occur. Stay adaptive — today’s sentiment is short-term bearish within a larger range-bound structure. FOLLOW RYAN_TITANTRADER for daily SMC setups ⚡

Gold 1H – Slight Correction or Bullish Reaccumulation Ahead?XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold extends its rebound near $4 250 as traders weigh the recent uptick in U.S. Treasury yields against growing expectations of a softer Federal Reserve stance. After the latest mixed U.S. economic data, markets are leaning toward a mildly dovish outlook — rate-cut bets for early 2026 are gaining traction, while the dollar remains steady. Today’s focus centers on U.S. housing-starts and jobless-claims data, which could steer short-term volatility. A stronger-than-expected report may trigger temporary selling pressure on gold, while weaker figures could revive safe-haven demand and extend the rally toward $4 380 +. Expect liquidity hunts before any clear directional move, as institutional players refine positions near the week’s range extremes. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Market structure remains bullish, with previous Breaks of Structure (BOS) confirming continuation after the earlier accumulation phase. • A short-term Change of Character (ChoCH) signals corrective movement — likely a liquidity sweep before the next bullish leg. • Liquidity resting below $4 200 has already been taken, aligning with the discount zone around $4 196 – $4 198. • A potential re-accumulation is forming; buyers may look for confirmation (M15 BOS/ChoCH) inside this demand zone. • Upside liquidity targets cluster near $4 375 – $4 380, coinciding with a premium supply zone where sellers might re-enter. 🔴 Sell Setup Entry: 4378 – 4376 Stop-Loss: 4386 Take-Profit Targets: 4325 → 4260 🟢 Buy Setup Entry: 4196 – 4198 Stop-Loss: 4190 Take-Profit Targets: 4250 → 4370 → 4380 + ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for lower-timeframe BOS/ChoCH confirmation before execution. • Be cautious around U.S. macro data releases — spreads and volatility can widen temporarily. • Use partial take-profits at nearby liquidity zones and trail stops once market structure confirms continuation. ✅ Summary Gold maintains its bullish bias above $4 200 after sweeping liquidity. A short-term correction could retest $4 196 – $4 198 for fresh buy entries, while the broader trend remains upward. Only a clean structural break below $4 190 would invalidate the bullish continuation scenario. FOLLOW RYAN FOR MORE USEFUL TRADING IDEAS!!!

Gold 1H – Bullish Rebound After Strong Correction🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold is attempting to rebound near $4,320 after a sharp correction earlier this week, as traders weigh the recent pullback in U.S. Treasury yields and renewed expectations of a dovish Federal Reserve tone. Markets are now positioning ahead of key U.S. housing and manufacturing data, which could shape short-term sentiment for both the dollar and real yields. • Softer economic numbers may reinforce the case for policy easing in early 2026, supporting gold’s safe-haven appeal. • Conversely, stronger data could momentarily pressure XAUUSD, yet the broader uptrend remains intact amid central-bank accumulation and geopolitical tension. Expect a liquidity-driven environment, with price potentially sweeping lower before reclaiming bullish momentum. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure: Overall bias remains bullish following consecutive Breaks of Structure (BOS) and a confirmed Change of Character (ChoCH) indicating corrective retracement. • Discount Zone: The $4,270–$4,272 demand area sits within the discount zone of the recent range (swing low to 4454 high), ideal for re-accumulation. • Liquidity Sweep: Recent wicks near $4,300 suggest liquidity has been collected, potentially setting up for another bullish push. • Premium Zone: Upside liquidity clusters near $4,454–$4,452, aligning with a premium supply area where short-term selling may appear. 🔴 Sell Setup • Entry: 4454 – 4452 • Stop-Loss: 4463 • Take-Profit Targets: 4400 → 4330 🟢 Buy Setup • Entry: 4270 – 4272 • Stop-Loss: 4260 • Take-Profit Targets: 4340 → 4380 → 4450 + ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Wait for M15 BOS/ChoCH confirmation before triggering entries. • Avoid entries during high-volatility windows around U.S. data releases. • Secure partial profits near intermediate liquidity zones, trail stops after BOS confirmation. ✅ Summary Gold maintains a bullish re-accumulation structure following a healthy correction. A retest into the discount zone around $4,270 offers potential long entries targeting the premium zone near $4,450+. Only a decisive break below $4,260 would invalidate the intraday bullish scenario.

NZDJPY - Waiting for Bulls to Step In!NZDJPY has been trading within a broad ascending channel and is now approaching a strong demand zone that aligns with the channel’s lower red trendline. This area has acted as a solid base in the past, and as price retests it once again, it could serve as the starting point for a new bullish swing. As long as the blue demand zone holds, I’ll be watching for bullish reversal signals to look for long opportunities, with potential short-term targets toward 87.50 and 88.80, where previous supply and the upper boundary of the channel intersect. However, if the price breaks below 85.00, the bullish structure would weaken, and a deeper correction could follow before buyers regain control. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.

Gold 1H – Will Dovish Fed Bets Keep Gold Above 4300?XAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold prices remain resilient near $4,365 as traders assess the shifting outlook for U.S. monetary policy. After softer inflation data earlier this week, market sentiment has turned cautiously dovish — investors are speculating that the Federal Reserve may cut rates sooner in 2026 if growth indicators weaken further. However, today's focus is on the U.S. housing and labor data, which could influence short-term volatility. A strong report may revive dollar demand and trigger profit-taking in gold, while weaker readings could boost safe-haven interest and push XAUUSD higher toward 4,400+. Expect intraday swings as liquidity hunts unfold before any decisive trend confirmation. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • The structure remains bullish, supported by consecutive Breaks of Structure (BOS) and a clean reaccumulation phase during the 4,230–4,270 consolidation. • Price recently tapped a premium supply zone near 4,400, where early sellers may attempt short-term reactions. • The discount demand zone at 4,300–4,302 aligns with a 0.382–0.5 Fibonacci retracement and previous BOS support, offering a high-probability re-entry area for continuation. • Liquidity sweeps above 4,400–4,398 could attract institutional profit-taking before the next bullish leg resumes. 🔴 Sell Setup: 4400 – 4398 SL: 4410 TP targets: 4340 → 4315 🟢 Buy Setup: 4300 – 4302 SL: 4293 TP targets: 4345 → 4385 → 4410+ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 ChoCH/BOS confirmation before entering any setup. • Expect volatility during U.S. macro data releases — spreads may widen temporarily. • Use partial take-profits near intraday liquidity zones and trail stops once structure confirms bullish continuation. ✅ Summary XAUUSD maintains its bullish structure above 4,300. A short-term pullback toward the 4,300–4,302 demand zone could offer another opportunity for buyers to rejoin the trend. While profit-taking may occur at 4,400, the broader bias remains “Buy the Dip” unless a confirmed shift in structure occurs below 4,293.

BTC IS WEAK BUT NO CLEAR TRADING SETUPSMorning folks, So, today is a specific update. We do not see any clear trading setups for now. But here are a few thoughts. First is - BTC has failed to completed an AB=CD target, dropped down. This is the sign of weakness. And it is not surprising. Sentiment on the market has dropped under the floor. Recent events clearly showed that BTC is non-regulated and highly manipulated market by politicians (Hello DonnY) and his insiders. Second - military rhetoric in media has increased in multiple times. Demand for safe haven is raising, which is pressing on BTC. Finally, US liquidity issues are not disappeared. All these three factors make us suggest further BTC fall. Now price stands in triangle, with no bright patterns, suitable for position taking. That's why we prefer to wait a bit.

Markets Brace for U.S. Retail Sales & Fed VolatilityXAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold prices hover near $4,190 after an early-week rally as traders brace for U.S. Retail Sales data and a new round of Federal Reserve speeches later today. Recent gains were fueled by softer inflation readings, yet the dollar remains resilient amid hawkish undertones from Fed officials. Markets are now balancing between expectations of slower growth and persistent rate-cut caution. A stronger-than-expected Retail Sales print could pressure gold temporarily, but any dovish signal from Fed speakers may quickly restore bullish momentum. Expect liquidity hunts on both sides before a confirmed direction forms. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure remains bullish after multiple Breaks of Structure (BOS) and a recent Change of Character (ChoCH) confirmation. • Price is approaching the Premium Zone (4211–4209) — a potential liquidity sweep area where short-term sellers may react. • Below, the H1 FVG Buy Zone (4145–4149) offers a discount entry aligned with recent BOS support and previous mitigation points. • Maintaining a bullish bias while awaiting clean reaction within the FVG zone is key for continuation toward new highs. 🔴 Sell Setup: 4211 – 4209 SL: 4218 TP targets: 4190 → 4175 → 4155 🟢 Buy Setup: 4145 – 4147 SL: 4138 TP targets: 4170 → 4190 → 4220+ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 ChoCH/BOS confirmation before entry to avoid false breaks. • Expect high volatility around Retail Sales and Fed remarks — spread widening is likely. • Partial take-profits near intra-day liquidity points are recommended. ✅ Summary XAUUSD remains bullish on structure but faces a potential liquidity grab around 4211–4209 before retracing into the H1 FVG buy zone (4145–4149). Smart money may seek to accumulate long positions after a controlled pullback, especially if Fed commentary echoes a slower policy tightening path. Intraday bias leans Buy the Dip, with caution around macro-driven volatility spikes.

Gold 1H – Price Reaction Ahead of U.S. Retail Sales & Fed RemarkXAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold is trading around the $4,110 mark, consolidating after a strong impulsive rally earlier this week. Traders are now shifting focus to U.S. Retail Sales data and a series of Federal Reserve remarks due later today — both key drivers that could influence near-term expectations for the next rate decision. After last week’s soft inflation signals, gold initially extended higher, but rising Treasury yields and cautious sentiment ahead of today’s macro releases have slowed momentum. Any hawkish Fed tone or stronger consumer spending data could weigh on XAUUSD, triggering a liquidity sweep from the premium zones before the next accumulation phase begins. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • Structure shows a confirmed BOS on lower timeframes, signaling the end of the previous impulsive leg. • Price currently sits within a Mitigation Zone (4117–4110), reacting to prior imbalance after a clean sweep of internal liquidity. • The Premium Liquidity Zone (4217–4215) aligns with a Rejection Block and is likely to act as a short-term Sell Zone. • Below, the 4056–4058 area marks a Buy-Side Support, overlapping with a previous ChoCH and internal discount OB. • Expect a short-term sell reaction from premium zones before a possible bullish mitigation bounce off support. 🔴 Sell Setup: 4217–4215 SL: 4224 TP targets: 4200 → 4175 → 4160 🟢 Buy Setup: 4056–4058 SL: 4050 TP targets: 4070 → 4090 → 4100+ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 ChoCH / BOS confirmation before executing either setup. • Be cautious during Fed remarks — volatility spikes are common around liquidity levels. • If price reacts impulsively from 4217 with displacement, partial shorts are favored. • Conversely, if 4056 holds and forms clean bullish structure, it could serve as the base for the next expansion leg. ✅ Summary Gold is likely to engineer a liquidity grab in the premium zone (4217–4215) before retracing into the mitigation area near 4056–4058, where smart money may accumulate long positions. The day’s direction will hinge on how markets interpret upcoming U.S. Retail Sales data and Fed tone — expect volatility and false breaks before the true directional move forms.

Gold 1H – Potential Liquidity Sweep Before Fed SpeechesXAUUSD – Intraday Trading Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader 📈 Market Context Gold remains steady near $4,065, as traders eye upcoming U.S. PPI data and Fed officials’ speeches later today for new guidance on the inflation outlook. The recent rise in Treasury yields has slightly capped gold’s upside momentum, but underlying safe-haven demand persists amid ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty. If the PPI print shows softer inflation, gold could attract renewed buying; however, a hotter reading may spark another liquidity sweep lower before any sustained rally. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Style) • ChoCH confirmed at 4060+, showing potential exhaustion in the current short-term uptrend. • Price tapped the premium zone (4080–4078), aligning with previous liquidity and imbalance — ideal for a short-term sell setup. • A BOS formed at 4017, opening the way for retracement toward the discount zone (3999–3997). • The 3997–3999 area is a strong demand zone, overlapping with a prior ChoCH and liquidity void — a potential reversal area for bulls. • Expect a liquidity grab at 3990 before a bullish reaction if structure holds. 🔴 Sell Setup: 4080–4078 SL: 4087 TP targets: 4040 → 4015 → 4000 🟢 Buy Setup: 3999–3997 SL: 3990 TP targets: 4035 → 4060 → 4100+ ⚠️ Risk Management Tips • Wait for M15 ChoCH / BOS confirmation before triggering entries. • Avoid over-leverage during Fed speech hours — price may fake out around liquidity levels. • If price sweeps 4080 liquidity and rejects impulsively, partial short entries are favored. • Conversely, if 3997 holds firm with strong bullish structure, watch for re-entry confirmation to ride the next expansion. ✅ Summary Gold is currently playing within a premium-to-discount framework, as smart money may engineer a sweep of 4080 liquidity before driving price down toward 3997–3999 to collect buy-side orders. After that, a strong bullish reaction is expected from the demand zone if macro conditions (like soft PPI or dovish Fed tone) support it. Stay patient — structure confirmation is key before entering either direction.
