XAUUSD – H1 Outlook: Liquidity Build XAUUSD – H1 Outlook: Liquidity Build While Risk Premium Supports Gold | Lana ✨
Gold is holding firm after a clean rebound from the sell-side liquidity sweep, and the current price action suggests the market is now building structure rather than trending aggressively.
📌 Technical picture (SMC/flow-based)
Price has transitioned from the sell-side sweep into a steady climb, now respecting the upper trendline.
The 4,940–4,970 region is acting as a short-term balance / re-accumulation zone where price is pausing and collecting liquidity.
Above current range, buyside liquidity is visible near the recent highs, with a key magnet around 5,015.
A healthy pullback into 4,920–4,940 would still keep the bullish intraday structure intact and often provides a better re-entry opportunity than chasing highs.
🎯 Scenarios to watch
Bullish continuation: Hold above 4,940–4,970 → reclaim highs → seek liquidity toward 5,015, then extension higher if price accepts.
Corrective dip first: A brief sweep below the range toward 4,920–4,940 → bounce back into the trendline → continuation to highs.
🌍 Macro backdrop (short & relevant)
ETF inflows into oil are rising sharply as US–Iran tensions increase, which typically lifts the geopolitical risk premium. When risk sentiment tightens, gold often benefits as a defensive hedge — supporting the idea that pullbacks may remain corrective, not reversal-driven.
✨ Stay patient, trade the levels, and let liquidity guide the next expansion.
