Volume Signature: Accumulation volume bars > distribution bars—bullish bias maintained. Volume nodes clustering at 3,995-4,010 indicate institutional support.
### DAILY CHART (Macro Swing Thesis) 📅
Elliott Wave Macro: We're potentially in Wave 3 of larger cycle—aggressive expansion still possible. Wave structure supports break of 4,050 targeting 4,150-4,250 daily close objectives.
Double Bottom Recognition: Historical Double Bottom pattern near 3,920-3,940 support—confirmed breakthrough above 4,010 neckline triggered. Second target near 4,100-4,120.
Bollinger Bands Daily: Upper band at 4,120 = realistic daily target. Mean (4,000) = healthy pullback support. Band slope indicates volatility expansion—expect 80-150 pip daily ranges.
Volume Profile Daily: Strong buying volume bar at 3,955-3,980 zone—institutional accumulation marker. Selling volume decreasing significantly—demand now controls trend.
Ichimoku Cloud Daily: Cloud thickness growing—bullish trend strengthening significantly. Cloud support around 3,980-4,000 zone. Kumo breakout anticipated—targets cloud top at 4,050-4,080.
Harmonic Analysis Deep: Butterfly Pattern potential completion—PRZ at 4,010-4,030 suggests reversal zone OR breakout confirmation. Confluence amplifies probability of extension.
Gann Angles & Fibonacci: 50% retracement (3,945) + 61.8% extension (4,080) = key reversal zones. Gann fan angles suggest 4,050-4,100 as structural resistance before continuation impulse.
Key Daily Support: 3,920 (psychological/structural) | 3,960 (accumulation zone) | 3,990 (demand level) | 4,000 (midpoint)
Key Daily Resistance: 4,035 (breakout trigger) | 4,050 (extension) | 4,080 (measured move) | 4,120 (weekly target)
Trend Confirmation: Higher highs & higher lows maintained—uptrend intact. Daily close above 4,050 = strong continuation signal targeting 4,150+ next level.
## 🎪 TRADING SETUP PLAYBOOK - NOV 10-14
### BULLISH SCENARIO (Probability: 75%) ✅
Trigger: 4H candle close above 4,035 + volume surge (>50% above average) + RSI above 60
Entry Zone: 4,010-4,025 (with breakout confirmation signal)
Target 1: 4,050 (TP1) | Target 2: 4,080 (TP2) | Target 3: 4,120 (TP3)
Stop Loss: 3,970 (below EMA/structural support)
Risk/Reward: 1:3.2 (excellent asymmetric setup)
Trade Duration: 24-72 hours (swing trade window)
### BEARISH SCENARIO (Probability: 25%) ⚠️
Trigger: Daily close below 3,990 + volume increase + RSI divergence failure
Entry Zone: 4,035-4,055 (short setup)
Target 1: 4,000 (TP1) | Target 2: 3,970 (TP2) | Target 3: 3,940 (TP3)
Stop Loss: 4,100 (above resistance)
Risk/Reward: 1:1.8 (acceptable but lower probability)
Trade Duration: Watch for trend reversal confirmation first
## ⚠️ VOLATILITY & OVERBOUGHT/OVERSOLD IDENTIFICATION
Current Volatility Status: Moderate-to-High compression → Expect significant expansion imminent
5M/15M RSI: 40-62 range (neutral)—room for 15-25 pip movements | Targets: micro-trend extensions
30M/1H RSI: 52-65 range (bullish bias, not extreme)—sweet spot for swing entries
4H RSI: 55-70 range—approaching caution zone but room to run | Still safe for core swings
Daily RSI: 60-75 range (approaching extremes)—be defensive if daily RSI>78 | Take profit aggressively
Overbought Recognition Signals:
RSI daily >75 combined with upper Bollinger Band rejection = take profits
Ichimoku cloud top penetration fails (bearish candle rejection) = trend exhaustion
Volume declining on breakout attempt = false breakout warning
Harmonic pattern PRZ exact hit without follow-through = reversal likely
Oversold Bounce Setups:
RSI 1H <35 on support touch = high-probability bounce back to 4,025-4,050
Price below EMA 50 (3,975) + RSI <30 = aggressive accumulation zone
Spring test below 3,970 with volume surge = Wyckoff spring reversal setup
Harmonic pattern PRZ support bounce = measured move extension targets
## 🎯 ENTRY & EXIT OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY
### OPTIMAL ENTRY TIMING
For Scalpers (5M): RSI bounce from 38-42 zone after Bollinger Band lower touch = 12-18 pip scalp target (1-3 min holds)
For Quick Swings (15M-30M): 15M candle close above 4,015 with 4H alignment = 40-80 pip swing target (30 min-2 hour holds)
For Core Swings (1H-4H): 4H pennant breakout above 4,035 on volume = 150-200+ pip target (hold 6-24 hours)
For Position Swings (Daily): Daily close above 4,050 = continuation play targeting 4,120-4,150 (hold 5-7 days)
Best Entry Windows: Asian close (GMT 8:00), London open (GMT 8:00), NY close (GMT 21:00)
### EXIT STRATEGIES & PROFIT TAKING
Take Profit Levels: TP1: Fibonacci 38.2% (4,045) | TP2: Harmonic PRZ (4,080) | TP3: Daily Band upper (4,120) | TP4: Weekly target (4,150)
Stop Loss Placement: Always below most recent swing low + 8-12 pips (strict risk management)
Trailing Stops: Activate at TP1—trail with 25-30 pip buffer for 4H+ trades (lock in profits while riding winners)
Breakeven Exit: Move stops to entry after 1:1 risk/reward hit—eliminates emotional trading risk
Partial Profit Strategy: Close 25% at TP1 | 25% at TP2 | 25% at TP3 | Let 25% run to TP4 (maximize winners)
## 🔔 REVERSAL & BREAKOUT RECOGNITION CHECKLIST
### REVERSAL SIGNALS TO MONITOR:
RSI positive divergence (lower price lows, higher RSI lows) = bullish reversal setup
Candlestick engulfing patterns at support/resistance zones = trend reversal confirmation
Volume profile breakdowns (declining volume on breakout attempts) = false move warning
Ichimoku Cloud rejection (price fails to penetrate cloud layer) = structural resistance confirmed
Harmonic pattern completion at exact PRZ = reversal zone high probability
Elliott Wave 5th wave failure (truncation) = impulse completion = reversal imminent
Gann angle break through significant angle = trend line break = reversal trigger
### BREAKOUT CONFIRMATION RULES:
Close beyond resistance with >30% volume surge above average = confirmed breakout
RSI crosses above 55 for bullish breakout, below 45 for bearish breakout
VWAP alignment with directional move = institutional participation confirmation
Bollinger Band breakout with band expansion (squeeze release) = volatility expansion confirmed
Multiple timeframe confluence (5M + 15M + 1H + 4H aligned) = highest probability setup
Ichimoku Cloud break (price clears all clouds with bullish candles) = strong confirmation
Volume imbalance (ask volume > bid volume) = directional sustain likelihood increases
## 💡 WEEK FORECAST SUMMARY - NOV 10-14
Monday (10th): 🌍 Consolidation continuation near 4,000-4,015 zone. Range-bound trading likely. Watch for early breakout direction. Entry setups favor reversal plays at support.
Tuesday-Wednesday: 📈 Breakout window opens—4,035 represents key decision point. Expect 60-120 pip daily volatility moves. Breakout confirmation targets 4,050-4,080 extension. This is the prime swing trade window.
Thursday (12th): ⚠️ Potential profit-taking pullback after previous breakout (if occurred). Support retest of 4,025-4,000. Buying opportunity if pullback holds above 3,985.
Friday (14th): 📊 Weekly close pattern formation critical. Extension run anticipated if above 4,050. If above 4,080 = week target 4,120+ achieved. End-of-week positioning for next week's trend.
## 📍 CRITICAL CONFLUENCE ZONES - KEY TARGETS
3,960-3,980: Major support zone (accumulation marker, Wyckoff spring area, structural hold)
3,985-4,000: Secondary support (EMA 9, demand cluster, psychological level, volume POC)
4,010-4,020: Micro-resistance cluster (consolidation squeeze zone, early breakout resistance)
4,025-4,040: KEY BREAKOUT ZONE (triangle apex, harmonic confluence, all timeframe resistance)
4,050-4,080: Primary upside target (Elliott Wave 5, daily Band upper, measured move extension)
4,100-4,120: Weekly resistance/extension target (macro resistance, Gann level)
4,150+: Monthly target (if wave 5 impulse extends beyond projections)
## 🏆 RISK MANAGEMENT RULEBOOK
✅ 1) Position Sizing: Never risk >2% of account equity per single trade
✅ 2) Risk-Reward Ratio: Minimum 1:2 R/R on every entry—1:3+ preferred for swing trades
✅ 3) Profit Scaling: Close 25-50% at 1:1 ratio, let remainder run to 1:2+ targets
✅ 4) Stop Loss Discipline: Place stop IMMEDIATELY on entry—no exceptions (10-15 pips tight)
✅ 5) Breakout Confirmation: Avoid FOMO—wait for candle close confirmation + volume surge
✅ 6) Daily Support Respect: Psychological holds (round numbers) matter—trade with confluence not against
✅ 7) Time Management: Exit losing trades quickly (max 1:0.5 acceptable for educational losses)
✅ 8) Macro Alignment: Always check daily/4H bias before taking 1H or lower trades

Gold (XAU/USD) M30 Smart Money Setup – Price Action Analysis📊 Current Structure:
On the M30 timeframe, CHOCH (Change of Character) has formed around 4186, confirming a possible bearish shift in market structure. The previous low stands at 4004, which acts as a major liquidity zone and final bearish target.
🧠 Smart Money Concept Overview
After the CHOCH at 4186, Gold is expected to retrace to premium zones before continuing its bearish move. The market has created two Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — potential supply areas where price may react.
⚙️ Key Zones
1️⃣ 1st FVG (4231 – 4246) → Minor retracement zone 🟠
2️⃣ 2nd FVG (4302 – 4322) → Strong supply zone 🔴
📍 Stop Loss (SL): 4346
🎯 Target (TP): 4001
🧭 Trading Plan
Wait for price to tap into any FVG zone (4231–4322).
Confirm bearish reaction using candlestick rejection or CHOCH on lower TFs (M5–M15).
Enter short positions aiming for the 4001 target.
Risk management: keep SL tight above 4346.
📉 Conclusion
Gold currently shows strong bearish pressure after CHOCH confirmation. Smart money traders will be looking for short entries from FVG zones toward the 4001 liquidity target. Manage your trade wisely and follow structure confirmation before entry. 🧩

XAU/USD buy to sell outlookThis week, I’ll be monitoring potential long entries from the nearby 3H demand zone, but my primary focus will be on price retracing into the 4H supply zone around 3,300, where I’ll be watching for a sell opportunity.
This zone aligns with the current bearish momentum we've seen recently, and I’ll wait for price to slow down and show signs of distribution once it reaches this area.Once we see that slowdown, I’ll aim to refine a clean order block for entry, ensuring a clear change of character and avoiding any potential smart money traps or false moves.
Confluences for Gold Sells:
- A clean 4H supply zone has formed, which caused a break of structure to the downside.
- There's significant liquidity resting below, making further downside likely.
- Gold has been heavily overbought and saturated, which supports this correctional bearish move.
- The DXY recently reacted bullish from a strong 2-day demand zone, adding confluence for downside in gold.
- After last week’s sharp decline, a retracement is expected before further downside continuation.
P.S.: There’s also liquidity to the upside in the form of uncollected Asia highs, so don’t be surprised if price sweeps those first before tapping into our supply zone.
Let’s stay patient and smart with entries — have a great weekend, everyone!

Xauusd [bearish] trend patternJust as i published yesterday, we see gold respecting the bearish trend channel. still expecting more bearish liquidity sweep as we keep our sell positions still open at 3043 and re-entry at 3025.
3016 is a vital zone as that region depicts next market interaction, still watching market behaviour
Gold Next Move 2492! read caption OANDA:XAUUSD is trading in parallel channel from last 2 months in H4, as you can see in chart gold is fully bearish till 2565 , all chart patterns bearish, fundamentally also bearish, gold can give possible move of 2561 if gold break it down and continue its trend then we can also see 2492 in gold. we will look good buying opportunity in gold from 2492 for now gold is sell. always use proper stop loss with fund management. all the best traders follow me and share my idea to your friends and family
GOLD Outlook for the week of Sun. Nov. 17, 2024I'm firm on my bias that we have capped the high of the year as it pertains to Gold and Silver. With the past week having accomplished the -2SD Draw on price, things are moving according to plan. My overall objective remains the same, as I believe price is headed to 50% yearly retracement and or -4SD selloff. Sells still look very good up until that point. Let me know your thoughts as well. Bless.
XAU/USD Gold short from 2,360 back downThis week, I'm anticipating a bearish drop. I have a clean 12-hour supply zone that has caused a break of structure to the downside. At the start of the week, I expect the price to move towards this zone. If not, we might see a small reaction from the 2-hour zone, leading the price up to the 12-hour supply.
Once the price reaches the 12-hour zone, I'll look for a Wyckoff distribution to form on the lower time frame, then sell the price back down to target the liquidity below, which I have identified as trendline liquidity.
Confluences for GOLD Sellls are as follows:
- Price has been breaking down and confirmed with a BOS on the higher time frame.
- Lots of liquidity below in the form of asia lows and trendline liquidity.
- price is near a good supply zone that has caused a break of structure.
- ATH's was taken and enough liq for price to move back down.
- This trade idea is along the with the current bearish trend.
P.S. If the price breaks this 12-hour supply zone, I will wait for the mitigation of the 2-day supply zone.
THE KOG REPORTKOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report we said we said the correction in gold was likely going to be profit taking and we were not ready to suggest it’s bearish as yet. We suggested that resistance may hold during the early part of the week and if it did, we felt the opportunity to short the market back down into 2330-35 and below that 2310-2295 would be available. We said these are the levels we wanted to see the RIPs, and would represent opportunities to long the market back up in to the levels we had given, and for us into Excalibur targets sitting higher. As you can see, apart from the extension of the move into 2310, we got our move again upside giving us another phenomenal week on Gold in Camelot.
Towards the end of the week, we gave traders the higher levels in which to look for the short trades, and again, perfect level to level trading implemented giving us the move down, then in Camelot, 2375 held for us to take it up again closing of the week. Great work by the team not only on Gold, but the numerous other pairs we trade.
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
We wanted to see if they could close this above the 2400 level which failed on Friday, so even though we’ve been saying it for a couple of weeks, we’re going to play caution again on long trades unless we get a really significant pullback on Gold. We have the resistance level 2395-2404 which is holding the price down at the moment with support 2375 giving us the bias bullish above. However, for this week, we’re expecting them to attempt to break that high at some point and rather than taking long trades into the higher levels, we’ll be looking to capture another decent short trade from higher up.
So, on open if we see support hold, traders could be presented with the opportunity to level to level long up into the 2404, 2410 and above that 2414-20 regions. We would suggest it is level to level with trades protected as soon as is viable and partials taken along the way. It may also be an idea to leave small runners with an open TP into the extension level 2340-55 which we’re identifying this week as an order region. It’s these levels where we’ll be looking for RIPs based on the set up if it is presented to short the market back down, with the view that we have potential to break below the 2375 price point.
Please note, breaking and holding above 2404-6 is needed for us to target those higher levels.
On the flip, although structure looks like we’re going higher, this range is confusing traders, not only getting them stuck mid-way but also whipsawing them into cutting and taking their stops. There is a small indication of a move down, but it’s not as significant as we would like at the moment, so we will say, if they do push this down, 2370-75 is the key support level which will need to break for us to go lower.
KOG’s bias for the week:
Bullish above 2370-5 with targets above 2404 and above that 2414
Bearish on break of 2370 with targets below 2355 and below that 2342
It's a simple on this week, caution is needed on the markets, so many traders are treating this like we’re in normal everyday market conditions as they haven’t experienced anything else. These are extreme market conditions, your lot sizes and your money management are imperative to maintaining your account and helping it to grow.

THE KOG REPORT - Update (what a day on Gold)End of day update from us here at KOG:
Following on from the KOG Report published yesterday, what a move on Gold, point to point, level to level, as we like it here at KOG. Early session straight into support giving the short, then the RIP which was expected straight into the order region, and to top it off, the RIP from the order region for the short. Pip capture, unbelievable! We've been using the red box strategy for the rest of the move which has given us opportunities to capture the scalps 50-60pips a go in between.
To be honest, that should be the week all done and dusted in terms of trading.
So, what now?
We have immediate support below 2315-10 which will need a forceful break to go lower, otherwise, any attempt on support could result in another RIP to take away the liquidity now sitting above 2350! For that reason, unless you're already short from the region given and protected, caution on shorting low in this range unless we confirm the break. Resistance now stands at 2330-35 with a break taking us higher before we then attempt to target lower pricing again. They're not going to make it easy, so stay disciplined and control lot sizes, the trade will come!

THE KOG REPORT THE KOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report, what can we said during the early part of the week we wouldn’t be looking to long the market, instead, we would look for a high to form and then short the market back down in to 2230 and below that 2220. We got the short into the initial levels which is where we suggested during the week that traders take the trades and wait for a RIP. We gave the bias level targets as bullish above 2220 and long trades to be take into 2250 and above that 2286 on the bounces, which as you can completed. Then came NFP and the long trade from the support level, again giving us a great capture enabling us to have traded this down and then up again level to level almost pip to pip entry and exit.
Please be aware, these levels are not small captures, you only need to look at the chart posted to see the distance that has been covered in this play.
Great week for us in Camelot, not only on Gold, but on the numerous other pairs we trade. Hit rate was amazing, pip capture through the roof!
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
Quick and simple KOG Report this week. Caution again on going long too high up as any movement like we’ve seen in the opposite direction will not give you time to manage your trades. Keep your lot sizes in check and make sure you're risk model is up to scratch. This is no normal market, we're in unprecedented times and markets reacting in extremes!
For this week, we’re looking at a potential stretch on gold so please be careful! These levels are to be tested, but one more little move to the upside to get the ideal entry would be perfect for us. So, we have the initial resistance right here on the close 2230-35, if held there is an opportunity to short the market back down into support regions 2310-05 which is where we want to see what happens and look for a potential RIP. A break here is what is needed for the price to continue downside, otherwise one more swing higher into the order region 2345-50 could be available which is where the ideal short may come from! Longs higher up are risky as the turn can be sudden and will leave traders left hanging a region where data is lacking, so caution please unless you’re scalping for quick captures from the intra-day levels we posts as well as the red boxes.
Use the levels on the chart and use the intra-day levels, don't marry the trade, don't marry the position. When you trade like this, it doesn't matter where the market goes, you trade it, take what it gives and come back again when your set up is right.
It’s really as simple as that this week, price goes up into our levels, we want to test the shorts, comes down we’ll either test the longs, or wait for the potential stretch and then short it from higher up.
KOGs bias for the week:
Bearish below 2350 with targets below 2310 and below that 2280
Bullish again on break of 2350 with targets above 2365 and above that 2372
Range in play – Support 2255 / Resistance 2372

Gold Sell Today Spot Gold remains confined to a tight intraday range on Wednesday, hovering around the $2,155 mark. The US Dollar advanced throughout the first half of the day but reversed gains with Wall Street’s opening as investors await the United States (US) Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision. The central bank is widely anticipated to keep rates on hold, with investors focusing on whether the dot pot or Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) will still suggest three rate cuts this year as it did in March.
GOLD ATH TAKEN - BEARISH TREND INCOMING!?This week's outlook on gold is intriguing given its recent high volatility and activity, reaching all-time highs. With liquidity now absorbed to the upside, I anticipate a shift in price direction towards the downside. This could signify the exhaustion of bullish momentum and the formation of a Wyckoff distribution pattern.
In response, I'll be observing for a pullback, although there aren't any valid supply zones yet. Instead, I'll wait for price to retrace to a demand zone, providing an opportunity to buy back up towards a new supply zone. While my bias remains bullish for now, I'm prepared for a minor pullback before considering potential selling opportunities.
Confluences for GOLD Sells are as follows:
- Bullish pressure is getting exhausted and I anticipate a wyckoff distribution to occur soon.
- ATH was taken which is a very strong point of liquidity which is enough to see a shift in trend.
- Price has left lots of imbalances below in which price needs to fill.
- There parabolic movement to the upside requires a pullback which hasn't yet occurred.
- Lots of liquidity below like asian lows that need to get taken as well.
P.S. Once price shifts its behavior on the higher time frame and breaks structure to the downside, I'll be more inclined to pursue selling opportunities and align my trades with the prevailing trend. However, for the time being, we should anticipate price consolidation and a gradual decrease in bullish momentum.
XAUUSD Shorts from 2030.000 down towards 1990.000My outlook for gold this week leans bearish, and I'm on the lookout for nearby shorting opportunities to drive the price towards the daily demand zone. Presently, I'm eyeing a clear 5-hour supply zone as a potential selling point. I'll be patient, waiting for a Wyckoff distribution pattern to unfold within this area before considering entry for my sell positions.
The presence of this supply zone has triggered a slight shift in momentum to the downside and left an imbalance, indicating its strength. However, I'm mindful of the trendline liquidity above the zone, which might attract price action to breach it, possibly prompting a reaction from the 22-hour supply zone above.
Confluences for GOLD Shorts are as follows:
- Price is approaching a 5hr supply zone that has caused a CHOCH to the downside.
- Theres an imbalance below that needs filling as well as some liquidity that can be taken.
- Zone also lies within the 0.78 fib range and price is also at a psychological level of 2030.
- Theres lots of liquidity to the downside that needs to be swept as well as an imbalance.
- Price has been moving temporarily bearish short term so this is pro trend idea.
- sentimental analysis also shows that gold is bearish as well.
P.S.While I hold a temporary bearish stance and focus on the 5-hour supply zone, I'm also considering the possibility of price declining without touching my zone to break its structure and reach the daily demand area. In such a scenario, I'll be on the lookout for buying opportunities to ride the upward movement.
XAUUSD (BEAR TO BULL) BLUEPRINTXau has created a mitigation zone at the 2040's, a new weekly candle formed as its the beginning of a new week ( its an initial bearish movement on the liquidity sweep below) till the 1990's and then we go bullish

XAUUSD Shorts from 2050.000 down towards 1990.000This week's perspective on gold is quite interesting, considering the recent break to the downside. The current retracement, triggered by a reaction from an imbalance, has my attention focused on the 22-hour supply zone. This particular zone played a significant role in causing the downward break.
Given that price has cleared liquidity from its all-time highs, there's potential for a continued downtrend. Therefore, I'm patiently waiting for a Wyckoff distribution to unfold within the 22-hour supply zone. The goal is to capture selling opportunities, anticipating a move back down towards a robust daily demand zone where I expect a bullish reaction to occur.
Confluences for gold Sells are as follows:
- Price has recently broken structure to the downside on the higher time frame.
- ATHs of the chart got swept, enough liquidity to generate a bearish trend.
- Theres still imbalances below to fill as well as a daily demand that needs mitigating.
- Price formed a clean 22hr supply zone that has caused this BOS to happen and in the 0.78 fib range.
- Even if price wants to maintain a bullish trend it must come down to mitigate a demand.
- Sentiment analysis also suggests gold to be bearish.
P.S. While I'm currently bearish, there's a possibility that this could unfold as a temporary move toward a more favourable demand zone. This scenario might set the stage for a continuation of the bullish trend on the higher time frame. However, my immediate focus is on seeking selling opportunities to drive the price back down.
Have a great trading week ahead and let's catch some pips!
