The Calm Before the Expansion — Gold Pre-Setup MapGold rejecting the Asian Range low and showing early signs of reversal. Missed the London setup after oversleeping, but tonight I’m watching for a retrace back into the H1 FVG + lower HVN. That pocket sits just under 50% of yesterday’s Asian range and lines up with weekly volume sitting just outside of value. If price pulls back into that zone and shows displacement, I’m looking for continuation to the upside and potential expansion toward the H4 FVG above. Premature breakouts tonight may be traps.
Trade ideas
Caught between a Volume Imbalance and 2 FVGsI’m looking at the bullish volume imbalance that is overlapping a bearish fair value gap. Price just made a bullish run leaving a bullish fvg behind. I think we drop out of this fvg and vi and head back down towards the bullish fvg around 4050.
I’m guessing we go back to around 4050 over the next couple days.
GOLD: The Daily and Weekly +FVGs Hold The Key! In this Weekly Market Forecast, we will analyze the Gold (XAUUSD) for the week of Nov. 17-21st.
Gold is still strong, but struggled to move higher last week. It is currently inside a bullish FVG, and this would be the key PD Array to watch. If the market shows respect to the +FVG, then expect higher prices. If it fails, and we see the market close below it on a daily close basis, buys should be avoided until the Weekly +FVG is reached.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

Gold Holds $4000Gold has retraced lower from last week’s high, though it is holding above 4000 for now. Two bullish pinbars have also formed on the daily chart, hinting at a potential swing low. A break above yesterday’s high could see bulls target the 4200 handle, with a move through the 4250 high bringing the 4300 handle and monthly S1 into view.
However, keep in mind the weekly chart may be forming a Wave B within a broader ABC correction. I’ll also be watching for signs of a swing high on the daily chart and a potential resumption of the move lower from the record high. A 100% projection of Wave A from B implies a downside target near 3800.

Looking for the Sweep leading into a bigger Play! Price bled lower through the entire Asian session after yesterday’s late breakdown, continuing the move away from the prior value area. We’re now trading inside a cluster of intraday inefficiencies with clean liquidity sitting below at 4013 and the psychological 4000 level.
My focus going into London and NY is patience.
Asia’s slow descent is typically a continuation phase, not the actual entry. I want to see:
A sweep of 4013 or 4000
A clear displacement reaction
A retrace back into a fresh M5–M15 FVG
Then structure confirming continuation or reversal
Until that happens, this remains a bearish environment with untested Weekly imbalance still below. If buyers don’t defend 4013 with force, the algo will likely reach for the 4000 liquidity pocket next.
Staying reactive, not predictive.
London will reveal whether this breakdown continues or sets the trap for a reversal.
Gold Week Opens Inside Daily FVG — Will We Drop Into the Weekly New week, and Gold opened inside last week’s Daily FVG, which was fully rebalanced.
No confirmation yet that this zone will act as support. The larger unmitigated Weekly FVG below may still be the draw on liquidity before any bullish move develops.
Plan for tonight:
Let Asia define the range
Watch for a sweep during London
Bearish continuation is favored if we break today’s open level (4174.9)
Bullish only if Asia low → sweep → displacement → retrace
Levels marked.
Patience. Let the algo show its hand.

Gold Mega MCX Futures — Inverse Head & Shoulders - Pattern TradeMCX:GOLD1!
By Chart Pathik | 20 November 2025
Gold Mega MCX Futures — Inverse Head & Shoulders Breakout Suggests Positional Bullish Reversal
Market Overview
Gold Mega MCX Futures
have constructed a textbook Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern on the 15-minute chart, indicating a notable bullish reversal opportunity after an extended downtrend. This structural pattern reflects gradual absorption of supply, leading to a strong recovery scenario for positional traders.
After testing the lows near 121,800 (forming the head), gold has rebounded to repeatedly test resistance at the neckline around 124,455. The right shoulder completed with a swift reversal, and prices are now pressing against breakout territory. Sustained closes above the 124,455 neckline confirm classic breakout conditions for a multi-session rally.
Technical Structure and Pattern Logic
The Inverse Head & Shoulders structure, observed here, is a high-probability bullish reversal setup favored by institutional participants at the end of persistent downtrends.
The "head" forms at the extreme swing low (121,800), with each "shoulder" forming on higher lows, reflecting indifference turning into accumulation and finally conviction.
The pattern's neckline resistance is sharply defined at 124,455, which, when broken decisively, unlocks the full post-breakout measured move potential. Early aggressive entries are possible on high-volatility tests of the right shoulder at 123,255, setting up for add-on positions if a neckline breakout occurs.
Breakout Validation and Volume Confirmation
Key volume expansion on rallies above the neckline is crucial for confirming the breakout. A surge in open interest or strong momentum during/after a breakout candle provides additional confirmation and increases the probability of a sustained move.
Pattern Target Projection
Pattern Target: 128,100
This target is projected by measuring the distance from the neckline (124,455) to the head (121,800), then adding it above the neckline breakout.
Key Levels to Watch
Early Entry: 123,255 (for aggressive traders on pullbacks toward the right shoulder)
Break-Out Entry: 124,455 (confirmation on a convincing breakout and close)
Stoploss (Positional): 121,800 (well below head formation, protecting capital and structure)
Pattern Target: 128,100 (full measured move from bottom to neckline)
Scenario Analysis
If gold closes above 124,455:
Momentum is likely to accelerate toward 128,100, with the trend reinforced by any volume spike and reduced selling pressure at higher prices.
If gold fails at the neckline and closes back below 123,255:
A failed breakout or pattern trap could lead to a retest of 121,800 or even a deeper corrective phase if macro sentiment or global cues turn adverse.
Broader Market Context
This reversal setup comes as broader market volatility in precious metals fades and macro conditions appear stabilizing. Physical demand, safe-haven flows, and a potential resurgence in global risk aversion could further support the bullish thesis.
Historical Significance
The Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern is respected by traders for timing momentum shifts at major turning points. A similar structure triggered a sharp rally in gold Mega MCX Futures during Q4 2020, and the post-breakout rally then lasted for several weeks.
Market Psychology and Trader Positioning
This pattern shows a market transitioning from capitulation and fear (the head), through reluctant bullishness (shoulders), to widespread conviction (neckline breakout).
Large players will often accumulate around the shoulder and neckline and then aggressively push prices through resistance once weak hands exit.
Outlook
In the coming sessions, a sustained breakout above 124,455, validated by strong candle closes and higher volume, should favor multi-session long positions targeting 128,100. Pullbacks into the 123,255–124,455 area are accumulation zones for swing or positional traders.
Chart Pathik View
This pattern marks a structural turning point after a corrective phase. Patience on retests, strict risk management with stoploss at 121,800, and riding the full pattern target are the ideal tactics.
As gold transitions from a downtrend into a potential expansion phase, structure, discipline, and measured scaling are essential to positional success.
Last time this Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern on MCX Gold Futures produced a similar outcome was in June 2020, leading to a 10% rally in the following weeks.
Gold Futures – Compression Before Explosion?Gold (GC1!) is coiling tightly just above the $3,998 level, teasing a big move as it hugs the 0.618 fib zone at $3,921. It’s the definition of compression — and when gold coils like this, something always gives.
📍 Key levels on the radar:
$3,998 – Current pressure zone
$3,921 – Fib support + breakout base
$3,602 – Worst-case flush if demand fails
$4,489 – Fibonacci extension target if this rips
We’ve got an ascending pitchfork, clean market structure, and a massive range breakout setup. These kinds of patterns don’t sit idle for long.
Gold remains a beast in uncertain macro conditions — don’t underestimate what happens when fear, rates, and inflation mix.
Trading Wisdom 📜
The bigger the coil, the nastier the move. Don’t focus on direction — focus on readiness. Gold pays those who stay patient and deadly.

How a Single Put Spread Predicted Gold’s BreakdownSo, gold has broken below the previous bearish zone — meaning we now have a bearish sentiment in play (at least according to my classification).
Now, regarding options flow:
On the chart, I’ve highlighted those lucky (or rather, well-informed) players who entered with a Put Spread — just before the correction started.
Perfect timing.
Their ideal target?
$3,950 — to be reached within 8 days, right around expiry.
Or at least close enough for maximum profit.
p.s. Just to be clear:
We are not teaching options trading as such — even though much of my methodology is built on options market data.
What we are doing is showing you how to read the option sentiment and use that insight to trade more effectively on the markets you already know — like spot Forex.
It’s about understanding why price moves — before it does.
We believe that trading without using options sentiment analysis is similar to fishing with a fishing rod🤦🏻♂️ on the shore while your neighbor has arrived at the river with a sonar on a boat.
We are on that boat, and we want to help you make better trading decision.💰

Thanks a lot for your support
**“Friday Play: Watching GC for a potential continuation lowerAfter the 4240 liquidity clear. Today’s open (4174.9) is my decision point.
Two scenarios I’m stalking:
1️⃣ Break & retest below 4174 → downside continuation into the H4 bullish FVG (4060–4090).
2️⃣ Sweep above 4200–4215 → rejection → short from premium pricing.
Friday loves completing unfinished business — but only if orderflow confirms. Patience first.”**
Gold Testing H4 Supply – Eyes on Retrace SetupAfter a clean bullish expansion last week, Gold is now testing a 4H bearish FVG around 4,200–4,240. Price is currently holding below the day’s open (4,203), suggesting potential short-term weakness.
If we stay below 4,203, I’ll look for a corrective move toward the 4H bullish FVG just below the previous day’s low (around 4,060–4,090).
Above 4,220, the bullish continuation remains valid.
Currently in observation mode — waiting for intraday confirmation before engaging any short bias.
