XAUUSD – 4H Chart AnalysisTesting the Upper Boundary of the Descending Channel XAUUSD continues to move within a medium-term descending channel , and price is now testing the upper boundary of this structure — a level that has repeatedly acted as resistance in recent weeks. In the short term, the market is forming a narrow rising wedge , a pattern that often appears as a weakening corrective move within broader downtrends. Previous occurrences of this pattern on this chart have also led to pullbacks after touching the channel’s upper boundary. As long as the channel resistance holds , the first area of interest on the downside is the 3880–3920 support zone, which represents a key structural floor in the current movement. A break below this zone could open the path toward the midline of the channel and potentially lower levels. The bullish scenario becomes valid only if price can achieve a clean breakout above the channel , supported by strong momentum and confirmed closes.

XAUUSD: Bulls Defend 4100! Is a Breakout to 4220 Imminent?Hello traders! XAUUSD continues to trade within a broader bullish structure, but with repeated volatility around key zones. The chart highlights how Gold has reacted multiple times to the major Demand Zone near 4,100, which has consistently acted as a strong support area. Each dip into this zone triggered a bullish response, confirming active buyers. Earlier in the structure, price formed a clear Double Top inside the Supply Zone around 4,220–4,230, which led to a strong bearish reversal and a breakdown below the trend line. After that, Gold entered a prolonged Range Phase, where the market consolidated sideways before breaking out to the upside. Recently, XAUUSD attempted a bullish continuation, but the move resulted in a Fake Breakout above the supply zone, signaling that buyers lacked the strength to maintain momentum above 4,220. This rejection pushed price downward and back below the main Trend Line, which now acts as dynamic resistance. Currently, Gold is trading above the 4,100 Demand Zone, forming a potential Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern — an early sign that buyers may be preparing for another upward push. As long as price holds above 4,100 and stays above local structure, the bullish scenario remains valid. My scenario, if XAUUSD holds above the 4,100 Demand Zone, buyers may gain momentum and attempt another breakout toward the 4,200–4,220 Supply Zone, which is the next major resistance and the primary upside target. A sustained break above 4,220 would confirm bullish strength and could open the path toward higher continuation targets. However, if buyers fail to hold the 4,100 level, Gold may drop back into the previous range or retest lower support areas before attempting another reversal. For now, the bias is moderately bullish, supported by demand reactions and reversal patterns — but a confirmed breakout above 4,200 is needed for stronger trend continuation. Manage your risk!

USD Stunned: Buy Gold at the Adjustment Bottom!1. Fundamentals Quick Take US Data: Positive (Jobless Claims 216K, lowest in 7 months, Durable Goods +0.5%). Fed Policy: Extremely Dovish. Fed officials hint at a 25bps rate cut as early as December. Impact: Low interest rate expectations push DXY down: Strong support for Gold. 2. Technical Outlook - H1 Trend: Strong Uptrend. Position: Price is below Resistance/Supply (CP Zone - around 4,175 - 4,195). High likelihood of short-term adjustment. Strategy: Focus on BUY (Long) at strong Demand/Support zones, do not Short based on short-term reactions. Ideal Long Zone: Around 4,129 or 4,096. Conclusion: Wait for price to adjust to the Demand zone to enter Long orders following the main trend, based on the USD's decline momentum from Fed signals. #XAUUSD #Gold #Fed #DXY #TradingView

ANFIBO XAUUSD – Holiday Range or Surprise Breakout? [11.27]Hi guys, Anfibo’s here! XAUUSD Intraday Trading Plan Overall Picture On M30, gold is trading inside a tightening rising structure, with price repeatedly bouncing between local support and descending short-term resistance. Liquidity is thin due to the holiday period, so the market is compressing in a narrow range instead of showing a clear trend. Key things on the chart: Upper trendline + horizontal resistance around 4170–4175 is acting as a sell zone. Local supports are stacked around 4143 – 4136, with a major liquidity pocket / demand zone near 4110 labeled “Strong Liquidity”. Because of low volume and mixed flows, the safest approach is to trade the edges or wait for a clean breakout of this range. On the macro side, USD is correcting as markets price in a more dovish Fed path, while Thanksgiving liquidity is thin. According to ING, recent USD moves are more about rate expectations than geopolitics, and the low-liquidity environment can also invite occasional volatility spikes, especially in pairs like USD/JPY. All of this supports a choppy, indecisive environment for gold in the short term. Trading Plan – Fade the Edges, Respect the Range We’ll work with two tactical setups: a sell from resistance and a buy from deep liquidity support. >>> Scenario #1 – SELL from 4173 Resistance Zone If price drifts back into the upper boundary and reacts bearishly, I’ll look for short setups: Sell entry: 4173 – 4175 Stop loss: 4180 Take profit levels: TP1: 4162 TP2: 4150 TP3: 4122 TP4: 4110 (strong liquidity / demand) Idea: fade the holiday squeeze into resistance, targeting a move back toward mid-range support and eventually the liquidity zone at 4110 if downside extends. >>> Scenario #2 – BUY from the Strong Liquidity Zone If price flushes down into the 4110 area and shows strong rejection, I’ll switch to a buy-the-dip plan: Buy entry: 4110 – 4112 Stop loss: 4104 Take profit levels: TP1: 4133 TP2: 4150 TP3: 4172 TP4: 4190 (if market breaks above the current range) Idea: participate in a liquidity grab at the bottom of the structure, aiming for a bounce back into the core of the range and potentially a breakout if volume returns. Key Intraday Levels to Watch Resistance / Sell zone: 4167 – 4175 Mid-range supports: 4143 – 4136 Major liquidity support: 4110 – 4112 A clean break and hold outside this band would signal the next directional move; until then, this is a range market. Risk Management Holiday liquidity can be tricky – avoid over-leveraging and keep positions smaller than usual. Wait for clear rejection or confirmation at planned levels; avoid trading in the noisy middle of the range. Maintain Risk:Reward ≥ 1:2 for both buy and sell setups. Do not hold both directions simultaneously; follow the scenario that price confirms first. If price breaks and holds beyond your SL zone (above 4180 or below 4104), close the idea and reassess instead of forcing re-entries. Conclusion Gold is stuck in a narrow holiday range, squeezed between resistance near 4175 and liquidity support around 4110. With USD adjusting to softer Fed expectations and volumes thin, the best edge comes from patiently trading the extremes or standing aside until price finally breaks out. TRADE THE EDGES, RESPECT THE RANGE, AND LET THE MARKET SHOW ITS HAND, GUYS!

XAUUSD 1:1 Longit's one of the simplest trading narrative that i executed. watching how price moved on 1hr and 15m making impulsive move aligning with HTF bias on bullish (my DOL is on the current daily range ERL) waiting on retracement to below eq of the range, which lies there a bullsih FVG along with 1hr OB, then waiting how price react on LTF (1m) swept the initial low made inside 15m +FVG (volume was lower then the initial low), almost entered long after inversion of 1m -fvg but i waited instead, looking cisd to better confirm my setup. my target was 1R which is just below the 50% range of the retracement downward

Compression After a Wedge: This Setup Shakes Out Paper HandsIn today’s price action, we’ve got a powerful confluence forming across multiple timeframes. After a sharp rising wedge breakdown , price rallied directly into a 4-hour diagonal resistance , then began compressing beneath it during the London session. This is where most traders get tricked. A rising wedge breaking lower already signals bullish exhaustion—but when price retests a higher-timeframe trendline and immediately stalls, it tells us Smart Money is preparing for a larger move. The 15-minute chart confirms this with a clean rising-lows and falling-highs compression pattern . This is where liquidity builds, and where paper hands start to get shaken out. London session typically creates this tightening range. It’s not meant to move the market—it’s meant to trap traders. Buyers enter early on “higher lows,” while impatient sellers short resistance too soon. Both sides place their stops right outside the compression. And that’s exactly the liquidity New York loves to take. The expectation here is simple: A sweep above the compression, a tag of the 4H trendline, and then real displacement in the true direction. This setup works because it aligns structure, time, liquidity, and psychology. It punishes impatience and rewards traders who wait for the sweep, the break, and the displacement that follows. Perfect example of how the market uses compression to shake out paper hands before the real expansion begins.

Is this a short-selling opportunity?Gold continued its upward trend from the previous two days after opening yesterday, reaching a high of around 4173 before pulling back. This level is also the downtrend line we've highlighted in the past two days. Although there was some resistance and a pullback, it ultimately stopped at around 4136. In other words, the resistance at this level is only effective in the short term and needs further verification. The rebound from the bottom in the US session indirectly dealt a blow to the bears, but the follow-through was clearly insufficient. Therefore, whether the resistance at this level will be effective today needs further verification. If the price continues to face pressure at this level today, the downward momentum may persist. The rebound in the evening was followed by a slight pullback to around 4140 after the opening bell, followed by continued minor fluctuations. Yesterday's high in the US session will be the key level for today's bulls and bears. The pullback pattern is likely a tentative move, and the strength of the European session will directly influence the US session's trend. Considering the previously formed downward channel, the upper resistance may shift down to around 4165-4175. We can still short below this level. Although yesterday's pullback was under pressure, the subsequent breakout was somewhat disappointing. Therefore, we still need to tentatively establish short positions today. If the price first rallies to around 4160-4175, we can short, targeting 4140-4110. If the European session breaks above this level, we can adjust our positions and exit during the US session.

DeGRAM | GOLD is expecting a slight pullback📊 Technical Analysis ● XAU/USD is repeatedly rejecting the descending resistance line and the 4,155–4,170 supply zone, signalling weakening bullish momentum at a key confluence area. ● Failure to hold above the resistance-area retest suggests a likely drop toward 4,110, followed by a deeper move toward 4,058 as the rising structure loses strength. 💡 Fundamental Analysis ● Gold is softening as U.S. yields stabilize and risk appetite improves, reducing short-term safe-haven demand. ✨ Summary ● Bearish bias below 4,170. Targets: 4,110 → 4,058. Resistance: 4,170. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with a like. Thanks for your support!

Gold 4H – Bearish Harmonic Rejection SetupGold is currently testing a major descending trendline drawn from the previous swing high (Point A). Price has tapped into a strong supply zone / rejection block around 4150–4170, which also aligns with the 0.618 and 0.70 Fibonacci retracement levels taken from the C–D leg projection. The structure shows a potential harmonic completion, where the market has printed an A–B–C pattern and is now forming the final leg toward D. The repeated rejections from the shaded supply zone indicate weakening bullish momentum. As long as price remains below this supply region and fails to break the descending trendline, the setup favors a downside continuation, targeting the lower trendline support near 3800–3850, completing the projected D-leg. Key Highlights: Price reacting to multi-touch descending trendline Strong supply zone (4150–4170) aligned with 0.618/0.70 fib Bearish harmonic structure aiming for D-leg completion Potential downside target: 3800–3850 Bias remains bearish unless price breaks and holds above the supply zone
