Gold (XAUUSD) – 1 Oct | Watching 3871 Supply Zone Reaction🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 1 October Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • As per yesterday’s analysis, market didn’t respect our buy zones due to a sharp fall from the all-time high 3871.890 . • This fall shifted the M15 structure downside , forming a CHoCH — but whether it’s a liquidity grab depends on a clean close above 3871.890. • Market took support from the 3797.5–3790.5 OB zone , and with volume + LTF confirmation, gave us a strong buy setup from 3805 , which played out beautifully. Key Observations • Price is now trading inside the 3871.890–3866.5 supply zone . • Although a new all-time high 3875 was touched, M15 failed to close above the previous high 3871.890 , showing weakness and potential correction. Execution Plan • Watch the 3871.890–3866.5 supply zone carefully. • If there is LTF confirmation , we can plan a short-term sell setup from this zone. • If M15 closes above 3871.890 , invalidate the sell idea — instead, look for buy setups on pullbacks. Discipline first — let the market confirm before you commit. 🚀 Congrats to everyone who caught the sharp upside move from 3805 with us — patience paid off! 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 30 Sep | Waiting for Retest of Key Buy Zones🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 30 September Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Gold remains in bullish momentum , with H4 aligned to M15 structure. • Price is currently trading around 3852 (all-time high) . • Recent key levels formed: – Asia Day Low: 3825.8 – M15 OB: 3840–3838 – M15 Demand Zone: 3831–3825.8 Key Observations • First potential POI for long setup: 3840–3838 (M15 OB). • If not respected, watch the 3831–3825.8 demand zone + Asia day low as the next strong buy area. • Keep in mind, market may sweep liquidity below the demand zone before a strong up move — so reaction at the zone is crucial. Execution Plan • Wait for price to retest either of the above POIs. • Look for LTF confirmation before committing to long setups. Stillness before execution — let price come to your levels, not the other way around. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 29 Sep | Key Demand Zones in Focus🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 29 September Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Gold remains in bullish momentum with H4 and M15 structure aligned. • Price printed a Change of Character (ChoCh) + Break of Structure (BoS) along with a new all-time high at 3798.79 , confirming bullish intent.

Stop Hunts: How the Market Tests Your Patience“If the market keeps taking your stop before running in your direction… You might not be wrong — just too early.” What is a Stop Hunt? A Stop Hunt is when price pushes just far enough to trigger stops sitting above a high or below a low — and then reverses. It’s not random. It’s the market collecting liquidity before the real move begins. Why Stop Hunts Happen Stops are easy targets — they’re predictable. Institutions use them to fill big orders at the best prices. Your loss is their entry. How to Spot a Stop Hunt Mark clear swing highs and lows — obvious levels most traders are watching. Watch price sweep above/below those levels with a quick move. Wait. Don’t jump in — the first move is usually a trap. Drop to a lower timeframe (M1/M5) to get a precise entry confirmation. Look for structure shift or ChoCH after the sweep. Only then, consider entering — now you’re trading with the market, not against it. Example Refer to the Gold(XAUUSD) M15 chart above: Notice how price took out the previous swing low with a liquidity grab from the stop area — trapping early buyers — and only then launched into a strong up move. This is the classic stop hunt behavior that shakes out weak hands before the real trend continues. Patience turns a losing stop into a winning entry. The market isn’t against you — it’s just testing who can wait. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 25 Sep | Key Supply & Demand Zones in Focus🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 25 September Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Gold remains in an H4 pullback with M15 downtrend aligned. • Yesterday, price broke the key M15 HL 3736.6 , confirming a market structure shift to the downside. • Price retested our first sell POI — 3750.5–3756 OB + S&R — and is now moving lower, in line with structure. Key Observations • A break below 3717.5 would confirm a new M15 BoS and strengthen the bearish bias. • Next short POI : Strong supply zone 3765–3772 . Observe price reaction here for best short opportunities. Potential Buy Zone • If market breaks 3717.5 first, watch 3707.5–3695.5 demand zone for short-term long setup — but only with clear LTF confirmation . Today’s focus: Let the structure guide you.

Gold (XAUUSD) – 24 Sep | Watching 3747–3743 POI for Long Setup🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 24 September Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Our POI zone 3742–3738 HL respected beautifully yesterday, and our long setup hit full TP. • Gold printed a new all-time high at 3791 in yesterday’s session. • Price is now in an M15 pullback phase , likely retesting key buy zones before resuming its uptrend.

Execution Plan • Wait for price to retrace to 3747–3743 POI . • Look for LTF confirmation before executing any trades. • No setup, no trade — patience is key.

Gold (XAUUSD) – 23 Sep | Watching 3742–3738 HL for Long Setup🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 23 September Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 As per yesterday’s analysis, our 3687–3685 POI zone respected beautifully, offering a clean long setup that played out perfectly. Market Context • New BoS: Asian session broke the New York session high, printing a fresh bullish break of structure. • Current HL: Price is now trading around 3742–3738 HL , which is our first POI for a potential long setup. Key Observations • POI #1: 3742–3738 (HL zone) – watch for price to respect this area for a continuation move. • POI #2: 3721–3712 – next buy zone, but note: if price reaches here, it would mean a short-term M15 structure shift to the downside, so treat this as a pullback area and manage risk tightly. Execution Plan Wait for price to respect 3742–3738 with LTF confirmation . If confirmation aligns, plan a long setup with fixed risk ( SL: 40 pips | TP: 120 pips , 1:3 R:R). If HL is broken and price moves toward 3721–3712 , reduce risk and watch closely before taking any setup. Patience is still your edge – stay calm and let the market come to you. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 22 Sep | Key Demand Zones in FocusGold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 22 September As per our Friday analysis , market shifted the structure upside on M15 , which indicates that the H4 pullback phase may be over and the market could be resuming its major bullish trend. Today’s Asian session supported this bullish intent and, with a compact pullback, created a BoS , giving us a clear directional bias towards the upside. Currently, price is trading near the M15 recent HL key level (3687–3685) . There is a high probability that market may respect this level and continue its upside momentum. Key Zones to Watch: • 3687–3685 HL zone → First zone to watch for a potential long setup. • 3673–3666 breaker zone → Could act as a strong support if price retraces deeper. • 3651–3643.8 demand zone → The zone from where market took support on Friday and broke the LH key level. Plan: Wait for price reaction and LTF confirmation at these zones before executing any long trades. Mindset: Stay patient and let the market show its hand before committing. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 19 Sep | Crucial Zone, Watching for Next Move🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 19 September Market Context • Gold is currently trading near the H4 Higher Low (HL) zone , suggesting the H4 pullback phase may be nearing completion. • Yesterday, price action respected our key levels beautifully — both the M15 demand zone (3644–3637) and the M15 LH + Day High zone (3668–3672) offered excellent setups. • Market has now printed a Break of Structure (BoS) below 3637, confirming M15 is currently in a downtrend. Key Observations • Price is in a pullback phase within the M15 downtrend. • H4 Context: Price is near HL support, which is also the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level — a critical area to watch for a potential uptrend resumption. Execution Plan • Short Setup Zones:  • 3654.8–3659.3 (fractal pullback zone).  • 3667–3673 (M15 LH + supply zone).   – A breakout and strong close above this zone would signal potential upside trend resumption → no more shorts. • Long Setup Zone:  • 3621–3613 (H4 HL zone) — wait for price to reach and respect this level with M1/LTF confirmation before planning longs. Trading Bias • Neutral-to-Bearish for now — shorts are valid only if POI zones are respected. • Longs will be considered only from deeper H4 HL zone with confirmation.

Gold (XAUUSD) – 10 Sep | Watching M15 Supply for Short Setups🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 10 September Market Overview Gold had been in relentless bullish momentum with both H4 and M15 aligned to the upside. Yesterday, price made a fresh all-time high at 3674.650 , but sharp selling pressure emerged from that level. This rejection caused a significant Change of Character (ChoCh) below the previous higher low at 3628.5 . Following this, the market also printed a Break of Structure (BoS) earlier today, confirming that the H4 pullback phase has now begun. Current Market Scenario H4: Shifted into a pullback phase after M15 ChoCh + BoS. M15: In a downtrend, currently retracing after the structural break. This alignment signals that our focus today will be on sell setups only . Key POI for Today 🔹 3637–3640.8 → M15 supply zone at the LH level. If price retraces into this zone and provides LTF confirmation , we will plan a short setup. If this zone is not respected, we will step aside and reassess deeper supply areas. Execution Plan Wait for price to retest the 3637–3640.8 M15 supply zone . Drop to M1 for confirmation (micro ChoCh / micro BoS). If confirmation is present, execute a short setup with fixed risk. If the zone fails, do not force trades — wait for price to reach deeper supply before re-engaging. Execution is about patience — let the market come to your levels, not the other way around.

Gold (XAUUSD) – 9 Sep | Patience at Highs, Demand Zones in Focus🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 9 September Market Overview Gold continues to display relentless strength. Both the H4 and M15 structures remain aligned to the upside, confirming that the broader bullish trend is firmly intact. In yesterday’s session, price printed a new all-time high at 3646.5 . The bullish momentum didn’t stop there — during today’s Asian session, that high was taken out again, with price pushing to yet another fresh peak at 3654.5 . Repeated breakouts like this highlight not just a strong trend, but also aggressive buyers absorbing liquidity on every pullback. Current Phase Despite the strength, gold is extended at the highs. Chasing impulsive rallies is rarely a sustainable strategy. Markets typically need a pullback to “reset” before continuing, and this is where patience becomes critical. Here are the key zones we’re monitoring: 🔹 First POI Zone (3637.5–3634.5) The closest M15 demand zone formed after the latest impulse. A retrace here could offer a quick long setup, but due to its proximity to the highs, we will only engage if there is clear M1 confirmation . Without it, the risk of failure is high. 🔹 Second POI Zone (3592.6–3587) If the first zone fails, this deeper M15 demand zone becomes the focus. It represents a stronger accumulation area, making it more reliable for continuation trades. 🔹 High-Probability Zone (3555–3545) The same level highlighted in yesterday’s outlook. This is one of the most structurally significant demand areas on the chart. A pullback here would likely sweep sell-side liquidity, setting the stage for a high-probability long opportunity. Execution Plan Patience is the strategy. We are not chasing highs. Wait for price to retest a demand zone. Drop to the M1 chart for confirmation. Enter long only with structured risk. If the immediate zone breaks, step aside and let the market pull deeper before reassessing. Patience is a position too — wait for the market to reveal its hand before playing yours. Bias for Today 📈 Bullish bias only. Long setups will be considered from demand zones, but only once confirmation is present. Until then — no trades, no FOMO. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 8 Sep | Bullish Bias, Watching 3555–3545 POI🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 8 September Market Overview Gold printed a fresh all-time high at 3600 during last Friday’s NFP event. Both H4 and M15 remain bullish, confirming that the broader uptrend is still intact. Current Phase Price is now in a pullback phase after the new high. Our focus is on the 3555–3545 demand zone — the origin of last Friday’s impulsive move. There’s liquidity sitting below this zone, and the market loves to sweep such levels before resuming its trend. This is where patient traders often find the best entries — after the sweep, not before it. Key Zone to Watch 🔹 3555–3545 (M15 Demand Zone) If respected and confirmed on M1 , this zone could offer a high-probability long setup for continuation toward new highs. Execution Plan Wait for M1 structure confirmation before entering — don’t pre-empt the move. If this zone is not respected, don’t rush into trades. Step aside, let price settle, and re-analyze before planning the next move. Bias for Today 📈 Bullish — focus remains on long setups if the demand zone holds. Use at least 1:3 RR based on your own risk plan to stay consistent. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 5 Sep | Bullish Bias, Watching 3550–3546 POI🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 5 September Market Context As highlighted in yesterday’s analysis, after printing new highs near 3578.6 , gold retraced and broke the M15 Demand / HL Zone (3530–3526) , forming an M15 ChoCH and signaling a short-term structure shift. However, the strong bullish piercing candle that followed suggested a classic liquidity grab rather than a full trend reversal. Price held above 3526, reclaiming the same HL demand zone that was briefly taken out — confirming the move as a liquidity sweep. Since then, price action has turned internally bullish. Current Price Action Gold is currently trading around 3558–3560 , consolidating near intraday highs. Key POI for Today 🔹 M15 Demand Zone : 3550–3546 This is my preferred POI for fresh long setups. If price retests this zone and gives M1 confirmation , I will plan a long trade from this zone. Execution Plan 📈 Long Bias Only • Wait for price to tap into 3550–3546 zone • Enter long only after M1 confirmation • SL : 40 pips (fixed) • TP : 120 pips (fixed, targeting continuation toward new highs) If this zone fails and price closes decisively below 3546, I will reassess and prepare for a deeper H4 pullback. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 4 Sep | Key Decision Zone 3530–3526 in Focus🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 4 September Market Overview Yesterday, gold printed a fresh all-time high at 3578.6 . Both H4 and M15 remain bullish overall, confirming the broader uptrend. However, price failed to respect the previously highlighted POI zone (3547.6–3541.5) and has now dropped into the critical M15 Demand / HL Zone (3530–3526) . This level has already been respected twice — this is now the third test . Why This Zone Matters This 3530–3526 area is the last major demand holding the current M15 higher low structure. • If it holds → the uptrend can continue. • If it breaks → it signals the beginning of a deeper H4 pullback and a potential M15 downtrend. Execution Plan This is a “decision zone.” The third test of a demand zone often carries higher risk because liquidity builds up under the zone — making it vulnerable to a sweep. Here’s the plan: 🔸 Bullish Scenario – Wait for clear LTF confirmation (M1 ChoCH or strong rejection wick) before considering a long setup. Third tests work best when backed by momentum or absorption signals. 🔸 Bearish Scenario – If price breaks below 3526 with conviction and holds, treat it as a structure shift. Wait for a retest of the broken zone to look for short setups targeting lower H4 levels. Patience is crucial here — don’t anticipate, let the market confirm. Bias for Today 📊 Neutral-to-Bullish — watching 3530–3526 closely for confirmation. If broken, shift to short-term bearish bias and plan shorts with the trend. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 4 Sep | Bullish Bias, Watching 3547–3541 POI🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 4 September Market Overview Gold printed a fresh all-time high yesterday at 3578.6 , confirming the strength of the ongoing bullish trend. The higher-timeframe structure ( H4 ) remains firmly bullish, with a clear series of higher highs and higher lows. On the M15 chart, price action is in a healthy pullback phase — a normal reaction after such an extended bullish impulse. Context This pullback is currently resting inside the M15 Point of Interest (POI) zone at 3547.6–3541.5 . This is a high-probability area for price to stabilize, build liquidity, and potentially set up for the next bullish leg. What We’re Watching 🔹 3547.6–3541.5 (M15 POI Zone) If this zone holds and price confirms strength on lower timeframes (micro-ChoCH / BoS), it can offer a clean long setup toward new all-time highs. This would keep price in alignment with the higher-timeframe bullish structure. If the zone fails and price breaks below with strength, we will stand aside and reassess structure for fresh demand areas before looking for long opportunities again. Execution Plan ✅ Wait patiently for confirmation before entering — no impulsive buys inside the zone. ✅ Look for a shift in lower-timeframe structure that signals strong buyer presence. ✅ Manage risk strictly (our approach: 40 pips SL, 120 pips TP for a fixed 1:3 R:R). Bias for Today 📈 Bullish Only — until this key zone is broken with conviction, H4/M15 structure continues to favor upside continuation. Patience and precision are key — let the market confirm its intention before committing to a position. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 3rd Sep | Bullish Bias, Watching 3528–3526 Zone🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 3rd September Market Overview Gold printed a fresh all-time high today at 3547.3 . Both H4 and M15 remain bullish, confirming continuation of the broader uptrend. Current Phase Price is now in a pullback phase after the new high. Market is approaching the M15 demand zone (3528–3526) , aligned with the higher-low structure. Key Zones to Watch 🔹 3528–3526 → M15 Demand / HL Zone. If respected + confirmed on LTF, we look for long setups toward new highs. 🔹 3509–3498 → Deeper demand zone. If the first zone breaks, this becomes the next potential buy area for continuation. Bias for Today 📈 Bullish only. Structure on H4/M15 supports upside continuation. Wait for price to retest demand zones + show confirmation before entering. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror
