XAU/USD – Short-Term Pullback ExpectedXAU/USD – Short-Term Pullback Expected Before Testing Major Supply Zones
Gold (XAU/USD) continues to trade within a corrective structure after rejecting lower liquidity near 4,040. The recent price behavior on the H1 timeframe suggests a potential bullish retracement leg before sellers attempt to regain control.
The chart shows a sequence of impulsive bearish moves followed by corrective bullish legs, indicating that overall market sentiment is still dominated by the downside, but with room for recovery toward key supply areas.
Key Technical Zones
Resistance (Supply)
4,118 – 4,135: First corrective target; aligns with recent internal structure highs
4,200 – 4,225: Mid-term supply zone – high confluence from previous distribution
4,255 – 4,275: Major H1 supply block; strong bearish reaction previously originated here
Support
4,040 – 4,050: Intraday support where buyers previously defended liquidity
3,995 – 4,010: Deeper correction zone if bearish momentum expands
Technical Confluence
Trendline structure: Market is shaping a corrective wave, suggesting a push toward 4,118–4,135 before selling pressure resumes.
EMA20 & EMA50: Price remains below both EMAs, confirming bearish bias, but space for an upward correction remains.
RSI: Neutral zone with slight bullish divergence – early signal of retracement potential.
Fibonacci: 38.2% and 50% retracement of the recent selloff align near 4,130 and 4,165, strengthening resistance expectations.
Trading Scenarios
Scenario 1: Bullish Correction Toward 4,118–4,135
Entry: Buy on minor dips toward 4,050 – 4,060
Target: 4,118 (conservative) → 4,135 (extension)
Stop Loss: Below 4,035
This strategy follows the projected upward correction path before the market meets heavy supply.
Scenario 2: Sell From Key Resistance
This is the higher-probability play, aligning with the broader bearish market structure.
Entry: Look for bearish rejection around 4,118–4,135
Target: 4,060 → 4,045
Stop Loss: Above 4,150
A strong reaction in this zone may confirm continuation of the bearish leg.
Scenario 3: Breakout Beyond 4,200
If price breaks and closes above 4,200, bullish recovery gains momentum.
Reversal targets: 4,225 → 4,255 → 4,275
Market Outlook
Gold remains in a broader bearish environment, but the corrective structure suggests that buyers may temporarily lift price toward the resistance band before continuation. The best opportunities appear to be fading rallies near the supply zones.
If you find this analysis useful, save it and follow for more daily gold strategies and technical insights.
XAUUSD – Bearish Retracement Into Supply Zones With Potential Sh1. Overall Context
The market recently had a strong bearish leg after rejecting the upper resistance zone (labelled HIGH PROB POI).
Price is currently retracing upward into a series of supply zones, indicating a potential area for continuation shorts.
2. Key Zones
High Probability POI (Supply)
This is the upper beige zone.
Previously caused a strong sell-off → confirms strong institutional presence.
If price pushes this high again, it may offer the most reliable reversal area.
Extreme POI
The central horizontal zone marked “EXTREME POI”.
Current price is tapping into it.
Market may react here if sellers decide to re-enter early.
3. Internal Structure
A series of labeled SSS (Sell-Side Sweeps) indicate liquidity grabs beneath short-term lows.
After sweeping these lows, price retraced upwards, likely moving toward premium territory to fill sell orders.
The 80% level marked on the chart seems to be your optimal entry zone within the inefficiency/imbalance.
4. Entry Idea
Your marked entry level 4080 sits inside the grey supply block.
This aligns with:
Prior breakdown zones
Fresh supply
Retracement to premium pricing
Liquidity sweep structure
This creates a high-probability short setup, assuming the trend continues downward.
5. Expectation
Analysis Update and Gold Entry Points
Hi Traders
Update on the one-hour gold chart (the analysis link is below) As expected and the chart path, three legs of the analysis have been completed so far, and exactly to the chart areas, the reaction is first an upward move from support and then a very good reaction from resistance, 4124. To continue the path and complete the fourth leg, we have a one-hour candlestick bet, which, if it stabilizes below this number, will give a pullback to the two levels of 4055 and 4068, a sell position and continue the path to the seller's target, which is 3980. I hope you have used this detailed analysis.

Cockeyed H&S Pattern On Gold/USDFellow traders and followers! Lookie here! We have a cockeyed drunkin leaning H&S pattern on the 4hr Gold/USD.
What we gonna do? We short it at a break below the break line of 4054.65. If you want to play it on the conservative side you can wait for the break of the neck support line.
Measured target - 3900.10 area. No surprise right? Haha!
We sit and we wait to have price action prove to us that this pattern will play out as outlined.
See you at the starting line my trader friends :) $
Gold (XAU/USD) 2H Chart Analysis – Sell Setup from High ProbabilBased on the chart you provided, Gold is currently reacting near a High Probability POI (supply zone) after a corrective bullish move. The structure still shows:
Lower highs and lower lows → Bearish market structure
Price is approaching a supply zone where sellers previously dominated
Liquidity has been taken above internal highs (marked as "$$$"), indicating a liquidity grab
This supports a short position idea from the supply zone.
🔍 Key Technical Levels
Zone / Level Meaning
4,125 – 4,150 USD High Probability POI / Supply (Sell area)

3,990 – 4,000 USD Main Target (previous demand + equal lows)
🎯 Suggested Target
Primary Target: $4,000
(Exactly aligning with your chart’s marked “TARGET” zone where liquidity sits)
If momentum continues and structure breaks more aggressively:
Extended Target: $3,975 – $3,960
(deeper sweep into demand)

📌 Summary

Expectation is continuation downward towards the liquidity pool below
📊 Title Recommendation:
“Gold Retests Supply Zone – Bearish Continuation Toward $4,000 Expected”
Continue shorting gold in the 4085-4105 range!This week's gold price movement largely aligned with my trading strategy. Starting Monday, I shorted gold, targeting a low of $4000. After breaking below $4000, gold rebounded, recovering its losses on the back of initial jobless claims data and rising back above $4100. It then encountered resistance near $4130 and fell back. This price action was consistent with my initial view that shorting gold in the $4125-$4135 range was highly effective, with the market falling by tens of dollars. www.tradingview.com
The gold market is currently closed. Shorting gold can continue after the market reopens. Due to the decline in gold prices and the shift in the center of gravity, the entry price will also shift downwards. I plan to short gold in batches in the 4085-4105 range. Technically, the downtrend is currently dominant, and this area is relatively safe.
The above represents only my personal thoughts. If you find it helpful, please like and follow to show your support! Please note that any strategy is time-sensitive, and strategies will change as market conditions evolve. I will notify you in the channel based on the actual market situation!
Gold HTF analysis-currently we are seeing the Fed is leaning less dovish to Hawkish, considering Rate Holds since inflation is still elevated.
Now if this is the case and the Fed continues this narrative in to December, then we could expect.
>DXY Bulls
>Gold Bears
>Stock market bears
>BTC bears.
- now inorder to do so, we could see price retest higher supply zones to generate liquidity before continuing to the downside.
now.
We musnt forget that overall the Fed is on a Rate cutting Cycle and this is merely just a pause, as a result, we could expect Gold, Stock markets & cypto to restest better demand zones before rising agian overall.

XAU/USD: Gold in Downtrend, Waiting for Demand Surge⏰ Timeframe: 30m
📅 Update: 11/20/2025
🔍 Market Context
After the technical rebound at the beginning of the week, gold returns to adjust within the descending channel pattern, indicating that short-term upward momentum is temporarily weakening.
The current structure reflects a rebalancing state after the price was rejected at the 4,127 USD supply zone – coinciding with the 30-minute frame Supply Zone.
However, the Demand Zone below still plays an important role in maintaining the medium-term upward structure.
📊 Technical Structure
Supply Zone (4,127 USD): main resistance area, confluence with the nearest peak – where the price was strongly rejected during the Asian session.
OB Bearish (4,106 USD): short-term supply area, highly likely to be retested after completing the adjustment phase.
Demand Zone (4,013 USD): main support area in the descending channel, also the confluence point between the channel boundary and the lower liquidity zone.
Liquidity Sweep: signal indicating that lower liquidity has been absorbed, opening up the possibility of forming a higher low.
🎯 Market Outlook
High probability scenario:
1️⃣ Price continues to fluctuate within the descending channel, retesting the 4,013 USD Demand Zone.
2️⃣ If a clear price reaction occurs, the market is likely to break the channel, opening up a technical rebound to OB Bearish 4,106 USD or Supply Zone 4,127 USD.
3️⃣ Losing the 4,013 USD area will temporarily invalidate the rebound structure, bringing the price back to a lower balance area around 3,990 USD.
🧠 Analyst’s View
Gold is in a corrective pullback phase – where the market needs to regenerate liquidity before forming a new expansion wave.
A reasonable scenario is sweep – retest – expansion: sweep lower liquidity, retest the supply area, then determine the main trend for the end of the week.
Buyers still have a slight advantage as long as the Demand Zone is maintained.
🛡️ Risk Note
This is a phase of market liquidity accumulation, fluctuations may be erratic.
XAUUSD correction?Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – Correction After Multi-Day Rally
Gold is currently undergoing a correction after two strong bullish days, driven by fading expectations of U.S. rate cuts. As rate-cut optimism weakens, the dollar strengthens and naturally pressures gold lower.
Price has left several long wicks around the mid-channel zone, signaling rejection and suggesting a move toward the lower boundary of the ascending channel, around 4000–4015, during today’s session.
If this zone holds as support, gold should remain inside its bullish channel structure, and we could see a throwback or bullish continuation tomorrow.
However, if price breaks below 4000–4015, the next major support lies near 3960, where liquidity and previous demand converge.
Gold at Inflection Point: Bullish Reversal or Deeper Correction?XAUUSD is trading at 4,068.5 , sitting at a fascinating technical crossroads. After the recent pullback from all-time highs, the yellow metal is testing a critical support confluence that could determine the next major move. Let's examine what the charts are revealing. ✨
The Big Picture
Gold has carved out a Falling Wedge pattern on the 1H timeframe—a classically bullish reversal structure. This compression between converging trendlines (upper resistance at 4,085 and lower support at 4,055) typically resolves with an upside breakout. We're currently bouncing off the lower boundary.
The Dow Theory perspective shows the primary trend remains bullish on higher timeframes (4H/Daily), while the current pullback represents a healthy intermediate correction. The recent low at 4,042 held above the critical swing low at 4,020, maintaining the sequence of higher lows.
Wyckoff Re-accumulation Phase 📊
The overnight price action displays textbook Wyckoff re-accumulation behavior within a trading range:
Preliminary Support (PS) established at 4,042
Selling Climax (SC) absorbed with declining volume
Automatic Rally (AR) back to 4,075
Secondary Test (ST) currently forming around 4,060-4,065
This structure suggests smart money is accumulating positions ahead of the next markup phase.
Elliott Wave Interpretation 🌊
The wave count indicates we're in a corrective ABC pattern within a larger bullish impulse:
Wave (A): Sharp decline from 4,120 to 4,042
Wave (B): Corrective bounce to 4,085
Wave (C): Final leg down potentially targeting 4,050-4,055 (or already complete)
If the ABC correction is complete, we're positioned for wave (iii) of the next impulse targeting 4,150-4,200.
Critical Price Levels 🎯
Resistance Zones:
R1: 4,090 (wedge upper boundary + 50 EMA on 1H)
R2: 4,120 (previous swing high + psychological)
R3: 4,165 (Fibonacci extension 1.272)
Support Zones:
S1: 4,055 (wedge lower boundary + current pivot)
S2: 4,042 (recent swing low + demand zone)
S3: 4,020 (critical support + 200 EMA on 4H)
Indicator Snapshot ⚡
RSI (1H): 44.8 - bullish divergence forming (price making lower lows, RSI making higher lows)
Stochastic: Oversold at 22, curling upward (bullish reversal signal)
VWAP: Sitting at 4,072, acting as immediate resistance
Ichimoku Cloud: Price testing cloud support on 1H, Tenkan/Kijun preparing for bullish cross
Volume: Declining on pullbacks (healthy correction characteristic)
Harmonic Pattern Recognition
A Bullish Gartley pattern has completed with precision:
- X: 4,020
- A: 4,120
- B: 4,065 (0.618 retracement)
- C: 4,095
- D: 4,050 (PRZ zone - Potential Reversal Zone)
The pattern's completion at current levels adds significant confluence to the bullish reversal thesis.
Japanese Candlestick Analysis
The 15M chart printed a Bullish Hammer at 4,055, followed by a Morning Star formation. These reversal patterns at support suggest buyer conviction is building.

Market Verdict
Gold is coiled at a pivotal support zone with multiple bullish signals converging. The falling wedge, Wyckoff re-accumulation, completed Gartley pattern, RSI divergence, and reversal candlesticks all point toward an upside resolution. The 4,055 level is your line in the sand—hold above it and we're likely heading to 4,120+.
However, a decisive break below 4,042 would invalidate the bullish setup and open the door to 4,020. Until proven otherwise, the bias favors buyers at current levels. 🚀
Patience and precision win in this game. Wait for your setup, execute with discipline. ⚡

Gold Analysis - Channel Decline Toward Key Support LevelsGold is currently trading inside a descending channel, showing sustained short-term bearish momentum. Price continues to respect both the upper and lower channel boundaries, forming lower highs and lower lows.
We have three key support zones highlighted below current price:
• Support Level 1: Minor liquidity zone where a short-term reaction is possible
• Support Level 2: Stronger demand area, likely to generate a corrective bounce
• Support Level 3: Major support and potential reversal zone at the channel bottom
The projected path shows price potentially continuing lower within the channel toward the deeper support levels before forming a bullish reversal. If price reacts at the lower boundary of the channel + major support, a breakout to the upside could target the 4,100+ area, aligning with the marked TARGET zone.
Key Points:
• Trend on 15m remains bearish until a channel breakout
• EMA 9 and EMA 50 show downward pressure
• Watching for bullish structure shift near lower support zone
• Break and retest above the channel could confirm trend reversal
Bias: Bearish short-term → Bullish reversal potential at deeper support.
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 .
