XAU/USD – Inverse H&S Forming, Gold Eyes Bullish Reversal🔍 Market Context Early today, Gold dropped nearly 70 points, but immediately rebounded strongly from 4040, signaling aggressive BUY interest and a clear rejection of downside continuation. On the H2 chart, XAU/USD is shaping a clean Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern — a classic reversal structure that often precedes a strong bullish expansion. The macro layer for today is packed with high-impact catalysts: 📌 Key Data & Events – 20 Nov Speech by U.S. President Donald Trump Barkin (2027 FOMC voter) speaks on economic outlook Federal Reserve FOMC Meeting Minutes Williams (permanent FOMC voter) speech U.S. Unemployment Rate Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) Initial Jobless Claims ➡️ A heavy news lineup capable of triggering high volatility and validating (or rejecting) the reversal pattern. 📊 Technical Analysis – MMF View Gold bounced sharply from BUY ZONE 4044–4046 with strong volume. The market structure is creating a complete Inverse H&S formation. The Neckline Zone 4101–4111 is the key breakout level — clearing this zone opens the door for a full bullish reversal. Trendline compression + liquidity sweeps show buyers gaining control. Strategy for today: BUY bias. SELL only for quick scalps. 🎯 MMF Daily Trading Plan BUY (Priority Setup – Swing / Intraday) Buy 4046–4048 SL: 4039 TP: 4060 → 4085 → 4100 → 4125 ✔️ BUY aligns with the reversal pattern + fresh liquidity shift. SELL (Scalping Only) Sell 4146–4148 SL: 4154 TP: 4132 → 4120 → 4110 ✔️ SELL only if price taps liquidity at upper supply and rejects clearly. ⚠️ Key Levels to Watch 4101 – 4111 – 4142 → liquidity clusters + breakout confirmation 4029 → major support in case volatility spikes from news 🧠 MMFLOW TRADING Outlook If Gold holds its corrective pullback and breaks above the Neckline (4101–4111), we may see a strong continuation toward: 4146 → 4187 → 4210+ The Inverse H&S on H2 is a powerful bullish setup — smart positioning favors building long exposure and holding into high-impact events.

ES – Testing Major Resistance? Nov. 20 Trade Plan1-Hour Outlook (Main Bias) ES just broke out of a multi-day downtrend and is now pushing directly into the key 6745–6760 resistance shelf — the same zone that rejected twice earlier in the week. 1H Structure * Clean breakout above the descending trendline. * A confirmed BOS shifted the 1-hour structure bullish. * Price is now consolidating right under the 6760 zone. * Momentum is strong, but candles are slowing near resistance. * MACD on 1H is bullish and rising. * Stochastic is elevated and starting to flatten, but not rolling over yet. 1H Key Levels Breakout trigger: above 6760–6770 Upside targets: * 6801 (GEX resistance + prior supply) * 6820 (2nd call wall / gamma magnet) Support zone: 6680–6700 Bears take control only below: 6625 1H Trading Idea Bullish scenario:
If ES holds 6700–6710 and reclaims 6745 with strength, a breakout through 6760 is very possible, opening a move toward 6800–6820. Bearish scenario:
Only valid if ES rejects 6760 with a strong reversal candle. Downside magnets sit at:
6705 → 6680 → 6625 15-Minute Outlook (Execution Timeframe) The 15M chart shows a strong impulsive rally followed by sideways absorption under resistance — not distribution yet. 15M Structure * CHoCH → BOS → continuation move. * Price retested the FVG zone and bounced cleanly. * EMAs on 15M remain stacked bullish. * Consolidation range is tight, signaling compression before expansion. 15M Trading Setups Bullish entry:
6730–6740 ideal retrace zone.
Look for bullish engulfing or long-wick rejection. Targets:
6760 → 6800 Stop: below 6715 Breakout entry:
If ES breaks 6760 cleanly with volume:
Stop: below last 15M swing low
Targets: 6801 → 6820 Bearish scalp:
Only if ES rejects 6760 multiple times.
First target: 6705
Second target: 6680 GEX Confirmation Based on your GEX chart: Bullish Signals * Highest positive NETGEX sits near 6801, a natural gamma magnet. * Significant call walls at 6760, 6800, 6820 — supporting upward drift. * Positive GEX zones (GEX8/9) favor upside continuation. * Minimal put defense above current price. Bearish GEX Levels * Strong PUT walls at 6680–6625, acting as downside magnets only if price breaks under support. Interpretation GEX favors a slow grind upward.
A clean break above 6760 likely accelerates hedging flows toward 6800–6820. Options Trading Plan (GEX-Based) Bullish Plan If ES breaks above 6760 with momentum: Contracts to consider: * ES 6750C * ES 6800C Targets:
6801 → 6820 Reason:
Crossing 6760 forces dealers to hedge upward, creating a gamma push. Bearish Plan Only if ES rejects 6760: Contracts: * ES 6700P * ES 6650P Targets:
6705 → 6680 → 6625 Reason:
Below 6700, GEX turns neutral and the path opens toward put-heavy zones. Final Bias for Nov. 20 ES has a bullish market structure and sits right under resistance.
A breakout through 6760 opens the door toward 6800–6820.
Bearish scenarios only gain momentum if price falls back below 6700 and especially under 6680. Disclaimer This analysis is for educational purposes only and not financial advice. Always do independent research and manage risk properly.

Gold Drops, Rebounds, Drops Again – Structure Still Bearish1. What Happened Yesterday Gold reacted perfectly from the indicated sell zone, dropping almost 800 pips in a very short period. However, immediately after the decline, the market turned violent with a 600-pip reversal, followed by another 700-pip drop overnight. Such chaotic swings clearly show a battle between bulls and bears, with neither side managing to seize full control so far. 2. Current Market Context This is one of the most difficult types of environments to trade: - Momentum is uncertain - Volatility is extreme - Direction changes rapidly Still, certain levels remain crucial for identifying the next move. 3. Technical Outlook Key levels to watch: - 4050 support → absolutely critical for bulls A break and sustained move below 4050 would likely open the path toward a retest of 3900 - 4100 zone → immediate upside barrier A clean stabilization above 4100 could finally give bulls the strength to push toward 4200 Without a decisive break of either level, expect more volatile two-sided trading. 4. Trading Plan As of now, my bias remains bearish, unchanged from yesterday. However, I remain aware of the strong intraday volatility and the possibility of fast upside spikes. My main scenarios: - Below 4050 → bearish continuation, targeting 3900 - Above 4100 → bullish momentum, possible rise toward 4200 Until one of these breaks occurs, expect Gold to remain noisy and difficult. 5. Conclusion Gold is in a highly unstable phase, with sharp 600–800 pip swings in both directions. The market is fighting for direction, but structurally, the bearish bias still dominates unless price regains stability above 4100.

Gold H1 – Sideway or Preparing for a Bigger Break?🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader (20/11) 📈 Market Context Gold continues to move inside a tight consolidation as markets digest fresh headlines: Treasury markets just erased hopes for a December rate cut and now even a January cut is doubtful, following hawkish tones revealed in the latest Fed minutes. This shift reinforces USD strength in the short term and pressures gold’s bullish momentum, keeping price trapped between well-defined liquidity zones. Key implications from the news: • The 6-month Treasury yield jumped back to 3.83%, aligning with hawkish expectations. • Rate-cut bets evaporating → USD stays firm, limiting gold’s upside. • Institutions are engineering both-side liquidity sweeps ahead of upcoming Fed speakers. • Gold is currently hovering around ~$4,070 inside a neutral zone where no clean premium/discount imbalance exists. Until the market receives fresh macro catalysts, price is likely to sweep liquidity at the edges of the range before choosing direction. 🔎 Technical Analysis (1H / SMC Structure) • Structure: Price remains inside a short-term sideways distribution after the recent CHoCH + BOS sequence. • Premium Sell Zone: 4145–4147, aligning with unmitigated supply + buy-side liquidity resting above recent highs. • Discount Buy Zone: 4004–4002, sitting inside last clean demand with previous sell-side sweep. • Liquidity Map: → Buy-side liquidity: above 4145–4150 (equal-high cluster). → Sell-side liquidity: below 4004–3997, where earlier long positions were cleared. 🔴 Sell Setup (Premium Reaction Zone) • Entry: 4145 – 4147 • Stop-Loss: 4155 • Take-Profit: → 4085 (minor imbalance) → 4045 (range midpoint) → 4004 – 4002 (discount demand) 📌 Execution rule: Wait for liquidity sweep into zone + bearish CHoCH M5–M15 before entering. 🟢 Buy Setup (Discount Reaction Zone) • Entry: 4004 – 4002 • Stop-Loss: 3997 • Take-Profit: → 4040 (short-term range high) → 4075 (inefficiency fill) → 4140 (premium retest) 📌 Valid only if price sweeps the 4000–3997 liquidity pocket and shows strong bullish displacement. ⚠️ Risk Management Notes • Expect increased volatility as markets reposition after the sharp decline in rate-cut expectations. • Avoid trading inside the 4030–4080 chop zone unless a clear structure break occurs. • Reduce risk size during sudden USD spikes caused by Treasury-yield moves. • Trail stops progressively as each liquidity level is taken. 📝 Summary Gold is currently stuck in a clean intraday range as hawkish Fed minutes remove hopes for early rate cuts, pushing USD up and holding gold below premium supply. SMC structure favors liquidity-sweep setups at both edges: • Sell Zone: 4145–4147 (premium supply) • Buy Zone: 4004–4002 (discount accumulation) Expect classic manipulation → reaction → continuation patterns until the market resolves the new macro pressure. 📍 Follow @Ryan_TitanTrader for more Smart Money updates.

Gold's price movement is unclear. Focus on today's NY market NFThe gold market is in a tug-of-war between bulls and bears, with focus on today's US NFP employment data. Gold rebounded after hitting a low on Tuesday, with bulls launching a counterattack at the 4000 level. The upward trend continued on Wednesday, but it wasn't very strong; instead, it was a step-like, oscillating rise, indicating that the market remains in a wide-range consolidation phase. It needs time to build a new upward trend. Currently, bulls and bears are still locked in a tug-of-war, and short-term intraday traders should pay attention to the shifts in the bullish and bearish rhythms. After opening higher in the Asian session today, gold then encountered resistance around 4110 and fell, reaching a low of 4040 before rebounding. This precisely tested the 4040 support level from Tuesday's pullback. Since the 4040 support is currently effective, we should continue to monitor the strength of the rebound, using 4040 as a stop-loss level. We should watch whether it can break above 4110. If it fails to do so, it presents a shorting opportunity. If it breaks above, it could reach 4130. However, a break below 4040 could trigger a short-term accelerated decline. Key Levels: First Support: 4040, Second Support: 4030, Third Support: 4000 First Resistance: 4085, Second Resistance: 4110, Third Resistance: 4130 Gold Intraday Trading Strategy: Buy: 4045-4050, Stop Loss: 4040, Take Profit: 4070-4080; Sell: 4095-4100, Stop Loss: 4110, Take Profit: 4080-4070; More Analysis →

FIRST CONFIRMATION CANDLE If this current m30 candle in the purple sphere closes bullish then it will be first good confirmation of more buys so we will wait for other higher time frames for more confirmation but if it closes bearish by 6am it will be best to close buys and wait for a while because it will push down further but could be rejected to close around 4070 before we buy again , it could also lead to more sells if it closes bearish so it will be best to close and wait for the reaction after that .

Lingrid | GOLD Range Bound Resistance - Potential RejectionThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous idea . OANDA:XAUUSD is moving toward edge of the resistance zone after bouncing off support 4,000 region. Price action remains corrective, with price trading inside a wider consolidation and reacting to both the downward trendline and the mid-range level. If the market stays capped below 4,130, a move back toward 4,045 becomes the likely scenario as sellers regain short-term momentum. The broader pattern continues to reflect a compressing market where bearish reactions inside resistance are still dominant. ⚠️ Risks: A breakout above 4,130 would invalidate the short-term bearish projection and open the way toward 4,245. US macro data like FOMC could drive gold sharply higher against the structure. Failure to sustain momentum below mid-range levels may lead to deeper consolidation instead of a clean drop. If this idea resonates with you or you have your own opinion, traders, hit the comments. I’m excited to read your thoughts!

XAUUSD – HEAD AND SHOULDERS PATTERN CLEARLY FORMED, CONTINUE ...💛 XAUUSD – HEAD AND SHOULDERS PATTERN CLEARLY FORMED, CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE BUYING 🎯 🌤 1. Overview – Today's Picture Hello everyone, it's Lana again 💬 In the Asian session this morning, gold has completed the right shoulder of the inverse Head and Shoulders pattern very clearly on the H3/H4 frame. Those who bought according to the previous scenario are currently in a favorable position, and in my opinion, this is still the time to hold the Buy order and prepare for additional opportunities if the market confirms the trend. On the macro side, according to the FedWatch CME tool, the probability of the Fed cutting 25bp in December is only about 30–33%, while the likelihood of maintaining the interest rate still prevails. This prevents the USD from falling deeply, but at the same time, it is not strong enough to "suppress" gold – creating a strong fluctuation environment within the range, very suitable for trading according to technical patterns. 💹 2. Technical Analysis – Head and Shoulders Pattern & Price Structure The inverse Head and Shoulders pattern has formed quite accurately: Left shoulder → Head → Right shoulder all rest on the long-term upward trendline. The bottom area around 4040–4050 is a liquidity box supporting the entire structure. The neckline currently lies around the 4089–4090 area: When the price breaks up and closes above 4089, we consider it a confirmation of a new upward trend. After the breakout, gold can expand to the areas 4145 → 4200, where strong liquidity + FVG is concentrated above. Area 4130–4132: Is a large liquidity cluster – where short-term profit-taking & Sell orders are likely to appear. Once this area is decisively broken, the likelihood of the price quickly bouncing to 4200 is quite high. Area 4040: Is both the bottom of the pattern and a key support. The scenario will fail if gold closes the H4 candle below 4040, as the Head and Shoulders structure would be broken. Overall, the price is compressing right below the neckline, and just a nice break can trigger the next upward wave. 🎯 3. Reference Trading Plan 💖 Main BUY Scenario – according to the pattern 1️⃣ Buy retracement to support Entry: 4060–4063 SL: 4055 TP: 4088 → 4108 → 4130 → 4143 → 4200 2️⃣ Buy breakout neckline Condition: Price breaks the downward trendline & neckline, closes above 4089. Entry: around 4089–4092 SL: 4080 Reference TP: 4132 → 4145 → 4200 💢 Note on SELL Currently, SELL is only against the pattern trend, not a priority scenario. Only consider short Sell when: Price reacts very strongly at 4132–4145, And there is a clear reversal signal on M15–M30 (pin bar, bearish engulfing, increased selling volume). ⚠️ 4. Key Fundamental Factors to Watch The probability of the Fed maintaining the interest rate is still high → the market is likely to "freeze" before the news, then explode with volatility. During this period, gold is often sensitive to data: employment, inflation, Fed officials' speeches. 🌷 In summary, the inverse Head and Shoulders pattern on XAUUSD is supporting the upward scenario, as long as the price remains above 4040 💛 My strategy: Prioritize Buy, first in the 4060–4063 area, then break 4089, Closely monitor the 4132–4145 area – if broken, the opportunity to reach 4200 is very clear. If you find the analysis useful, please 💛 Like – 💬 Comment – 🔔 Follow LanaM2 to update the gold perspective with me every day ✨

Monk Mode for Traders: The Discipline That Changes EverythingHey whats up guys, everything is about focus. If you feel stuck its might because you are just consuming trade ideas on the Trading view, scrolling Trading instagram or watching another YouTube trading videos. It feels good like working on yourself but it's not real self-development. When I need to improve I something. Im using extreme Monk Mode to fully focus on project. Trading is mine and I hope also your lifetime project. As a trader you must master multiple aspects and elements in this area to succeed. In the recent post I introduce schedule for the disciplined trader. This is for those who already made it and are full time traders. Today Im going to give you tips how to go extreme to acquire new skills or exit 9 - 5 slavery. ⁉️ What Monk Mode Actually Means You don't need to wear a robe, incense, or sitting in silence for hours. Monk mode is less people, more focus. You are not running away from the world. You are simply closing the doors for a while so you can build in peace. Isolation helps you to focus only on that project and yourself. It's a bit extreme and you can do it only for some period of the time but you will come back unrecognized. 📌 I would describe it as: • A temporary period of extreme simplicity • Removing everything not aligned with your goals • Working on ONE main mission. Not three. ONE ! • Mastering your mind through fewer choices and fewer distractions 📌 How long you isolate yourself and focus decides how you improve • 30 days → reset • 60–90 days → transformation • 6 months → new identity 📌 Always tie it to a goal: • Finish and Deeply understand One Trading strategy • Pass Specific Prop Challenge • Improve my Risk to reward ratio • Backtest my strategy on 500 traders 📌 Come Out from Monk Mode When: • Your mission is complete • Your routines click • Your discipline feels natural • Your system is built Then you return to normal life. Celebrate a bit. Spend time with people you love. Take a break, but keep the strongest 50–70% of the habits, thats how you permanently update. You will might not be perfect on first time, thats normal no one is. But you will see such improvements, you will start thinking about next round. But don't go extreme, social life is important always take breaks between monk modes. 🧪 Running Monk Mode has 2 phases • Cutting distractions and cheap dopamine • Adding a traction and increasion focus (obsession on project) 1️⃣ Lets Cut Distraction's ❌ 1. Adjust your phone - Social media and set Do not disturb permanently Delete the apps or block them during your work window. I know it can feel hard, but harder it feels more you need it. Social media and short term content is distraction loop. During the monk mode Im cutting it completely. In normal life ( I have 30 minutes planned window) Social media are not bad if you visit them with intention. Just for curiosity put phone usage timer on your main desktop you will see how much time you waste daily if its more then 90 minutes, you got it. Thats whats holding you back. ❌ 2. Reduce Social Activity When I am in Monk mode, I say no to most social stuff for a short period of time. No parties, Bar meetings and Alcohol. Not even meeting for coffee. As Im father then family duties must stay. That is non negotiable. But outside of that, I shrink my interactions down to almost zero unless the meeting clearly helps my Monk mode goal. Example If I am focused on passing a prop challenge or backtesting some element I want to add to my strategy and someone invites me to a weekend full of drinking and late nights, it is a hard no. If a trader that also trades same strategy invites me to a serious work session to review data or refine something, I will go. That supports the mission. ❌ 3. Cut porn and junk dopamine completely. This is the uncomfortable part almost nobody wants to talk about, but it matters.If you are constantly stimulating yourself with porn and random adult content, your brain is fried with dopamine. Your focus span goes to zero. Your discipline collapses. • No porn • No “thirst trap” scrolling • No mindless sexual content • No dating apps This should not be only for a monk mode. Porn is cancer for your focus cut it out from your life completely. After a few days without this junk, your energy levels change. You wake up more driven. You sit at the charts and you actually want to work. You start feeling like a hunter again, not a zombie. ❌ 4) Cancel Netflix and stop Watching news Netflix is waste of time. Same is for the news. It doesn't matter knowing what orange mans says or how some sport results ended. You need to focus on your project 2️⃣ Lets put some Traction ✅ 1. One Project — Your Core Mission 🎯 This is your main quest, for traders, Monk Mode is powerful, because it removes decision fatigue.it could be: • Backtesting 500+ trades of one model • Building your strategy framework properly • Creating your full trading plan • Passing a prop challenge with discipline • Fixing your routine and sticking to it Rules: • Choose ONE project / Mission • Work on it daily • Don’t switch • Clear finish line ✅ 2. One book 📖 School didn’t prepare you for trading. You have to learn the parts nobody teaches: • Mindset • Psychology • Discipline • Focus • Execution • Stoicism • Peak performance 30 minutes a day is enough. Books give you depth. Unlike social media gives you shallow noise of social feeds. I suggest you Atomic Habits - from James clear if never read it. Also FLOW from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi ✅ 3.One meditation - to reset your mind 🧘‍♂️ Monk mode without meditation is like a gym without weights. I keep it simple. Twenty minutes every day, but you can start with 10 minutes if you didn't meditate ever. You can find some guided meditations on YouTube. But, dont let yourself catch in to a trap by scrolling and finding meditation. Prepare one in advance and put It to the playlist or just: • Sit down • Close your eyes • Focus on your breath • Let thoughts pass without judging or chasing them Meditation help you regain control over your attention ✅ 4..One workout 💪 You can do either gym or calisthenic training. But not hard cardio, rather resistance training that builds strength. Instead of cardio you got walks. When Im in the monk mode I do Powerlifters training. Its simple, it increases your strength and I do not have to think about training complexity to much. I just come to the gym and finish my session in 45 minutes. Measure you max weights and add 10%. Then start with 60% of the weight and add 5% every week. You can do more complex weight progression after 4 weeks but that would be for whole article. Search for Stefan Corte Powerlifting training. But dont overthink it. In Monk mode you want stupid repetitive routine. Squats 6 x 6 - 60% - 65% - 70% - 75% Bench 6 x 6 - 60% - 65% - 70% - 75% Deadlift 6 x 6 - 60% - 65% - 70% - 75% 👉 Train hard 3 times a week - Mo / We / FR .. take a break on the weekends. 👉 Other 3 days focus on mobility training and stretching 👉 Take a break one day Don't forget for 10 minutes warm Do proper stretching after the training session. ✅ 5. Long walks (No phone , No music) 🚶‍♂️🌲 Long walks for clarity and aha moments. I go out for around 60 minutes, ideally in nature, with no phone and no music. Just walking, being present and thinking on my project TIP - if you go for walk on the mornings and fasted, you body will take energy from fats. As you are in the mode when focusing on project. Ideas begin to connect. You ll start seeing patterns, solutions, better rules. Many parts of my strategies, my routines, even my lifestyle changes were born on these walks. ✅ 6. Eat like an athlete, not a garbage bin 🥦 Food is another big lever. In Monk mode I prefer to work in a light, fasted state during the main focus hours. I have my first real meal after I finish my most important work for the day. Before that I of course drink water, but nothing that spikes blood sugar. Because when you are full, heavy and bloated, your brain slows down. That is the last thing you want when you need to do deep work. Keep it simple 1. Protein 2. Good carbs 3. Healthy fats 4. Minimal junk Obviously in normal life I sometimes eat in Mc Donald or have Popcorn when taking daughter to the cinema. But No pizza and chips, No such a things in Monk mode. You are trying to become sharp, not sleepy. 🎯 Thats all easy said but how to do it if I got 9 - 5 job? Simple you need to adjust your schedule, when you remove Netflix, Social media and contacts you gain new time, but you will have to put it somewhere in a day. I highly suggest to make it on the morning because after work you will be tired and your focus will not be so sharp. 📅 Plan for people those who has 9 - 5 job Every days start with good sleep so go sleep early and always at the same time. If you start practicing walks without distracting you brain with phone, you will sleep better. ⏰ Wake at 4:00 win the morning Always follow your morning routine - Meditation, Backtesting, Book, Workout Do this every days even on weekends. Don't overtrain have 2 types of training heavy one and one lighter focused on mobility and stretching. These 4 hours is how you win the day. Before it even started. Once you are back from job if you have kids you must give them your time. If you dont have kids do some more intentional work on Project - backtesting , analyzing the charts etc... But be careful with starting to hard burning yourself. 90 minutes a day on the project is maximum. No hard work in one day beats consistency of smaller daily consistent work. So dont overshoot the start. 📝 Then Journal your day, write down what you learned and selfreflect on progress in each parts of monk mode - Meditation, Project - Backtesting, Notes from book, Work out. ✍️ Make plan for the next day and go for walk without phone or music. You will see what happens on that walk. Then just come home have a shower and go sleep 🔁 Next day repeat. On the Saturdays and Sundays add one more bigger window for work on the project to summarize what did you learn during the week. Then you do some relax activities as sauna, massage, visit family members, spend time with kids, give more time to reading. If you do this consistently for 3 months. You will see miracle happen, not only in your trading career but in your life will change go for 6 months and you will come back as different person. Are you in to upgrade yourself for 2026 ?

Don't miss this excellent opportunity to buy gold at low prices.In the current gold market, the price action is becoming clearer, with key support and resistance levels emerging. The 4050-4030 support zone deserves particular attention, as it offers strong support. If the price retraces to this level and successfully stabilizes, it would be an excellent entry point for long positions, potentially allowing bulls to launch an upward attack. Resistance is seen around 4110-4120. When the price first touches this area, it may face pullback pressure due to technical factors. However, if the price can consolidate and effectively hold above 4120, the possibility of further upward movement towards the 4150 target this week will significantly increase.

GOLD $GC Levels and Patterns AnalysisTraders and Investors, Gold (XAUUSD) has been consolidating mostly but still has been giving a lot of great short term and swing trade opportunities. I have updated the important levels and zones which can act as support and resistance. They should guide us a bit for the best possible trade opportunities. There as possible W pattern forming. It has not formed or completed yet. It must first break the trend line and confirm the break. BTW, that trend line can also give us a good opportunities around it. Next, the price has to break the mid point of potential W pattern. Once it has done that, it can complete the W pattern. Trade what you see, wait for the confirmations and manage the risk as always. Follow for more. Please support this analysis by liking, commenting, and sharing with friends, colleagues, traders, and trading communities. Thanks👍🙂

XAUUSD : Bearish Flip Targets $3930 LiquidityKey Observations and Interpretation Previous Trend: The price experienced a strong bullish move, peaking around the $4,240 level, followed by a significant retracement. Break of Structure (BOS): There was a previous Break of Structure (BOS) to the upside around $4,040, which indicated the start of the recent upward move. The price has now retraced back to and below this level. Market Structure Shift/Change of Character: The move from the $4,240 peak down to the recent low near $3,990, followed by a lower high (X) at approximately $4,120, suggests a potential shift in market character from bullish to bearish. Inducement/Minor Liquidity Sweep (I/S): The price action that led up to the high at X seems to have swept minor internal liquidity (I/S) before the larger drop. Demand Zone/Fair Value Gap (D/FVG): The shaded area between roughly $4,040 and $4,070 represents a zone that was likely a prior demand zone or contains a Fair Value Gap (FVG). Price is currently interacting with this zone. In a bearish scenario, this zone is expected to act as resistance (a supply zone) after the structure shift. Target Liquidity ($$$): The chart highlights multiple clear liquidity targets below the current price, marked by the triple dollar signs ($$$). These are levels where retail traders have likely placed stop-loss orders or where sell-limit orders are resting. These levels are approximately: $3,980 $3,960 $3,930 📉 Projected Move The analysis projects a likely scenario where the price: Tests/Fills the D/FVG Zone: The price may experience a small bounce or consolidation within the $4,040 - $4,070 D/FVG zone (now acting as potential resistance/supply). Continuation Lower: From this zone, the expectation is for the price to continue its move down. Liquidity Sweep: The primary targets for the bearish move are the highlighted liquidity levels ($$$) below the $4,000 psychological level, with the deepest target around $3,930.

ASSETS POSITIONING A lot is beginning to happen and experience traders will tell it normally happens at the end of the year and from the little knowledge i acquired this year on my own just reading economics though I haven't been in economics class before, i can say it's as a result of allocations and positioning of assets or instruments or even securities by market movers or institutions which is causing unnecessary volatility and therefore clearing of liquidity . yesterday wasn't a good day but today and tomorrow will likely be different so we are back to business with a little bit of carefulness

XAUUSD Daily – Five-Wave Impulse Toward 4,530On the XAUUSD daily chart I’m tracking a potential five-wave advance within the existing uptrend. Wave (1)** marks the initial impulsive leg higher from trendline support Wave (2)** is the corrective pullback that holds above the origin of wave (1) and respects the rising trendline Wave (3)** extends beyond the wave (1) high, confirming continuation of the bullish structure and establishing a new swing high. * Price is now correcting as **wave (4)** back into the area of: * the rising trendline drawn from prior lows, and * the former consolidation / breakout zone around the previous highs. While price holds above the wave (4) low and the trendline, I’m anticipating a continuation leg to the upside as **wave (5)**. The projected wave (5) objective is around 4,527, where I have a confluence of measured extension and overhead resistance. A decisive daily close below the wave (4) low and trendline support would invalidate this wave count and delay the bullish scenario.
