Selena | XAUUSD 1H - Trendline Support Retest + Liquidity Sweep FOREXCOM:XAUUSD Gold remains inside a rising channel while forming repeated liquidity sweeps into the 4,200–4,210 demand region. The current consolidation shows compression toward the downside, indicating a likely sweep of the red zone before any bullish continuation. A bullish continuation is valid only if price breaks and holds above 4,247–4,252, which unlocks upside targets at: 🎯 4,280 🎯 4,295 🎯 4,305 (major liquidity draw) If the sweep fails and price closes below the trendline, bearish displacement may target the 4,160–4,175 liquidity block. Bias remains bullish only above the channel midline. ⚠️ For educational purposes only. Not financial advice.

Gold: Watch 4228 as the Short-Term Pivot, Focus on Buying DipsUnder the influence of the FOMC’s 25bp rate cut yesterday, gold surged toward the 4248 area with significant volatility. Now that the rate-cut decision has been finalized, the conditions for trading purely on that expectation have passed; however, its subsequent impact will continue to create opportunities in the market. The series of economic releases before the holidays still deserve close attention. At the same time, developments in the Russia–Ukraine situation should be monitored. If peace negotiations progress smoothly and tensions ease, safe-haven demand for gold will weaken, putting short-term pressure on the bullish side. Technically, fueled by news, the price broke through resistance near 4228 and tested the 4245-4250 area, but encountered significant selling pressure, returning to the 4207-4200 area. This trend is relatively healthy, but it also indicates that the market remains cautious. Continue to focus on the 4223-28 area. If it can stabilize at this level, it means that the selling pressure has been largely released. With increased capital participation, there may be an opportunity to test the 4300 area before the holiday. If it cannot stabilize, and the Russia-Ukraine peace talks proceed smoothly, the bears may push the price down to around 4100 or even 4050. Additionally, there is some data to watch in 7 hours.

XAU/USD (Gold) – Market Structure & Liquidity OutlookGold is currently trading in a well-defined consolidation range within my marked blue zone, showing signs of balance after the impulsive move into this area. Price action over the recent sessions indicates compression, with multiple equal highs and lows forming — a classic sign that liquidity is building. Key Levels • Current Price Area: ~4,228 • Range High / Liquidity Pool: 4,255 – 4,265 • Range Low / Support: 4,195 – 4,205 • Higher Timeframe Demand (H4 Zone): 4,155 – 4,165 • Invalidation / Stop Loss: Below 4,175 Trade Bias My bias remains bullish as long as price holds above the H4 demand zone. The market has respected the blue range multiple times without a clean breakdown, suggesting stronger hands are accumulating positioning below resistance. I’m expecting price to first sweep the resting buy-side liquidity resting above the recent highs around 4,255–4,265, followed by a decisive break and acceptance above the blue zone. A strong close above 4,265 would confirm a breakout from consolidation and open the door for continuation toward higher highs. Execution Plan • Entry Zone: Within the blue consolidation range on confirmation • Target 1 (Liquidity Sweep): 4,260 • Target 2 (Continuation): New highs above 4,270 • Stop Loss: Below 4,175 (protecting against a deeper H4 demand sweep) Risk Thesis A sustained break and close below 4,175 would invalidate the bullish structure and suggest a deeper retracement into the H4 demand zone near 4,160.

Gold Intraday Market Recap & Trading StrategyThe gold trended with a bullish bias in high-range consolidation following a dip and rebound today. After the Federal Reserve's rate cut announcement in the early hours, prices surged sharply before paring some gains, yet they steadfastly held above the key 4200 level throughout the session. During the Asian trading session, London gold hit an intraday high of 4247.50, then pulled back to an intraday low of 4204.04. Having previously broken out of the 4170–4220 consolidation range, prices once rallied to 4239 right after the rate cut, maintaining a strong posture in high-level trading without being disrupted by the short-term pullback. The bullish momentum is jointly underpinned by fundamental tailwinds from the rate cut and stabilizing technical signals. Key Levels: Resistance Zones: The immediate key resistance lies in the 4250–4260 range. A decisive breakout above this zone would likely pave the way for a further advance toward 4280–4300. Support Zones: The 4200 mark acts as a robust intraday support. Further downside support is anchored in the 4175–4180 range, a level that has proven its resilience through multiple tests in previous sessions. Trading Strategy: Buy 4200 - 4210 SL 4190 TP 4240 - 4250 - 4260 Sell 4260 - 4270 SL 4280 TP 4230 - 4220 - 4210

Gold (XAU/USD) – Range Consolidation with Bullish Upside Target1. Market Structure Range → Attempted Breakout: Price has been moving in a broad consolidation / rising channel, with multiple rejections near the upper boundary. Higher Lows, Weak Highs: Buyers are defending higher lows, but sellers are still strong near resistance → this is compression, not a confirmed trend. Bias: Neutral-to-bullish only if support holds. --- 2. Key Levels (Very Important) 🔴 Support Zone (Red Area) 4,170 – 4,163 This is a major demand zone. Multiple candle wicks show aggressive buying here. If this zone fails → structure breaks bearish. ✅ As long as price stays above 4,163, longs are still valid. --- ⚪ Current Price Area Around 4,190–4,200 Price is sitting mid-range → not ideal for new entries unless confirmation appears. --- 🔵 Resistance / Target Zone 4,250 – 4,260 Clear range high + prior rejection zone Marked as your TARGET POINT, which technically makes sense. 🚨 Expect selling pressure here on first touch. --- 3. Trade Idea Implied by the Chart Bullish Scenario (Preferred) Entry: Rejection + bullish candle close above 4,170–4,180 Stop Loss: Below 4,160 Target: 4,250–4,260 ✅ Risk–reward is solid only if entry is near support. --- Bearish Scenario (Invalidation) A strong 3H close below 4,160 That would: Break the demand zone Flip structure bearish Open downside toward 4,120–4,100 --- 4. What I’d Watch Next (Discipline Check) ✅ Bullish engulfing / strong rejection at support → okay to long ❌ Chasing price in the middle of the range → poor trade 🚨 Fake break above 4,250 without volume → likely reversal --- Bottom Line This is a range-based long setup, not a breakout yet. Best trades are patience trades here.

Holding Breath for FOMC News - Will History Repeat?XAUUSD Trading Idea Today (FOMC - Big News) Will history repeat: Before the news: Sideway | News release: prioritize SELL Today's range: 417X–423X Expectation: FOMC release leads to selling (Powell is usually hawkish → price drops like in September & October) 1) Intraday Trading (catching the Sideway range) Upper range: 4218–4220 4230–4233 Lower range: 4170–4173 4180–4182 → Morning & afternoon prioritize catching the range – trade within the range for safety before the news. 2) During the news (for those who trade the news) Not suitable for those who are risk-averse, so you can skip if you can't handle it. Limit if you want to learn and profit using a very small account. 1) 4218–4220 (Risk-only) (if it doesn't break all day) • High reaction area • Safe → skip • Risk → Probe sell, small SL 2) 4230–4233 (Main Sell) • Strong resistance within the range 3) 4240–4244–424X (Best Sell) • Liquidity zone • If spike during/before news → High RR sell 3) Target down TP1: 418X TP2: 416X-5x TP3: 409X (main target – swing + FVG + fibo) 4) BUY? Attention area: 4150-52 4128-32 4102-96 5) Note on the news This scenario holds if Powell maintains a hawkish tone. If Powell is more "dovish" → it may go against expectations. Risk-averse traders → do not trade the news. News traders → use a small account to test market reactions. Quick Summary Before the news → Sideway, catch the range 417X–423X News release → prioritize SELL SELL zone: 4218, 4230–4233, 4240–4244 Main target: 409X The price will move with each statement from the Fed Chairman and keep an eye on Trump too. Wishing everyone a victorious day.

XAU/USD Clean Breakout From Consolidation ZoneGold has officially broken out of the long-held consolidation range between 4,200 – 4,240, confirming bullish strength after taking out the internal liquidity resting at ≈4,262. The aggressive impulse that drove price above the blue zone shows a clear shift in order-flow, suggesting buyers are now in firm control. The breakout also validates the broader bullish narrative: price respected the H4 demand zone around 4,160 – 4,175, accumulated orders within the intraday range, and then expanded upward once liquidity was cleared. As long as price holds above the former consolidation zone, the market structure remains bullish. With liquidity now taken and momentum clearly favoring the upside, gold is positioned to continue reaching for the next higher zone around 4,310 – 4,330, where major resting orders and a higher-timeframe supply region sit.

XAUUSD: Maintain Buy Strategy, Target 4232–4250With the Federal Reserve’s rate cut finally confirmed, gold delivered a roller-coaster performance. It first climbed to around 4250, and today it has returned to the 4200 area. After holding long positions throughout yesterday, we finally captured significant profits under the stimulus of the rate cut. Today we maintain a bullish strategy, paying particular attention to 4217. If it can hold above this level, it should at least rise to around 4232. We can seize this opportunity. The next resistance level is 4250-4260. Next is the resistance at 4250-4260. If it cannot be broken strongly, you can sell with a small position at this level. If it falls back but does not break 4225, you can continue to go long. If the bulls are strong, we may be able to look forward to the 4268-4280 area.

Gold (XAU/USD) Price Outlook – Trade Setup📊 Technical Structure FOREXCOM:XAUUSD Gold has pushed higher toward 4,235 after breaking above the short-term consolidation zone. Price is now trading just beneath the 4,242–4,245 resistance zone, where repeated rejections have previously occurred. Despite the recent rebound, momentum shows signs of slowing as candles compress beneath resistance. On the downside, the 4,212–4,218 support zone remains the key structural area. This zone has acted as both demand and breakout retest support over the past sessions. As long as price holds above this support, Gold maintains a short-term bullish bias. However, failure to sustain above the zone may trigger a corrective pullback before any renewed upside. Overall, the 1-hour structure favours a pullback into support before continuation upward, in line with the reaction path shown on your chart. 🎯 Trade Setup Bias: Look for bullish continuation after a corrective dip into support. Entry: 4,218 – 4,212 Stop Loss: 4,210 Take Profit 1: 4,242 Take Profit 2: 4,248 Risk–Reward Ratio: approx. 1 : 3.6 Setup remains valid as long as price stays above 4,212. If 1H closes below the support zone, the bullish scenario is invalidated. 🌐 Macro Background (Simplified) The Federal Reserve delivered the expected 25 bps rate cut, marking its third cut this year and bringing the federal funds rate to its lowest level in three years. While this supports Gold by lowering opportunity costs, Powell emphasized that the Fed now plans to pause and observe incoming data, which made the tone slightly cautious. Markets now price a 78% chance of no cut in January, meaning the easing cycle is slowing — a factor that keeps Gold from accelerating aggressively. On the geopolitical side, Donald Trump imposed a Christmas deadline for Ukraine to accept a proposed peace deal. Any progress on peace negotiations could reduce safe-haven demand for Gold, while renewed tensions would offer support. Overall, macro forces are mixed: Lower rates → supportive for Gold Hawkish pause tone → caps upside temporarily Ukraine peace developments → may reduce safe-haven appeal This aligns with a pullback first, then continuation structure reflected in the chart. 🔑 Key Technical Levels Resistance Zone: 4,242 – 4,248 Support Zone: 4,212 – 4,218 Invalidation Level: 4,210 (1H close below) 📌 Trade Summary Gold is consolidating beneath resistance after the Fed’s expected rate cut. Market structure favours a pullback into the 4,212–4,218 support zone before attempting another push toward the 4,242–4,248 resistance area. With macro sentiment neutral-to-supportive, buyers may regain control if support holds. A break below 4,210 invalidates the bullish setup. ⚠️ Disclaimer This analysis is for reference only and does not constitute trading advice. Trading involves significant risk, and proper risk management is essential.

XAUUSD: Beware of a Spike-and-Fade MoveOn Tuesday, gold experienced a roller-coaster move. It dipped to 4170 under selling pressure before rebounding again. Although both bulls and bears showed strength, neither side sustained momentum, indicating that the market remains in a choppy consolidation phase. Yesterday, silver rallied sharply to new highs, pulling gold higher as well. Expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut continued to grow, attracting dip-buyers and supporting gold prices. However, Tuesday’s stronger-than-expected economic data pushed the U.S. dollar higher and drove Treasury yields to a three-month high, causing gold bulls to hesitate and limiting any major upside. Today’s focus is the interest rate decision. With markets previously optimistic about a rate-cut-driven boost for gold, the 4200 support level has held firmly. Before the data release, gold may continue to fluctuate in a wash-and-rinse range, so a long-biased strategy with supplementary short positions is appropriate. During the announcement, be cautious of a potential “buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news” reaction, where prices spike and then drop sharply. Yesterday’s public strategy was to go long in the 4190–4160 range with targets at 4200–4215. After achieving these targets, a sell trade was opened and closed in the 4200–4190 region, followed by another long position that was closed near 4215, resulting in ideal profits. For today, buying around or below 4200 is recommended, while selling above 4260 is advised.

XAUUSD Key Range Analysis – 4160 to 4260 ExplainedGold (XAUUSD) continues to trade inside a clean range structure between 4160 (Support) and 4260 (Resistance). This zone has been holding for multiple days, showing that the market is currently in accumulation + liquidity building mode. 🔍 Market Structure Breakdown 🔹 1. Clear Range Formation (4160–4260) Price is respecting: 4160 → Major support where buyers are consistently stepping in 4260 → Major resistance where sellers take control This forms a sideways market where price is building liquidity at both ends. 🔹 2. Multiple Swing Patterns Inside the Range The chart highlights several internal swings, showing: Fakeouts Liquidity traps Higher lows and lower highs Repeated tests of the mid-range This indicates institutions are accumulating orders before a strong breakout. 🔹 3. Fibonacci Confluence at the Bottom of Range Price has reacted several times near: 0.236 0.382 0.618 0.786 This confirms the 4160 zone is a high-value demand area. 📈 Expected Move (High-Probability Scenario) ✔ Scenario 1: Bullish Bounce From 4160 If price taps 4160 again and shows strong rejection: Expect a clean upward move toward mid-range Possible breakout toward 4260 Break above 4260 may start a strong bullish continuation ✔ Scenario 2: Range Continuation If price stays inside: Trade only rejections and confirmations Avoid chasing the market—wait for structure This is the safest strategy during accumulation. 🎓 Educational Note This chart is a perfect example of: Range-bound trading Liquidity hunting inside consolidations Swing highs/lows formation Patience + confirmation strategy Range markets require more discipline than trends—never chase, just react.
