retracement to solid sellers with pullback =SELL it up1->4 : we have a solid downtrend, lower lows
and lower highs, the 3-4 push down cemets number
1 sellers as solid sellers, able to defeat the buyers
from number 2
4->7 : we return to the solid sellers at number 1
and get an initial bearish reaction, then
return to the number 1 resistance level
for a confirmation or perhaps not
what do I think will happen ?
* on the daily we are on a solid uptrend, but if
we look at almost 1 month now it's been a solid
downtrend, it makes sense for me then that maybe
its been long enough to not expect support to hold
and to wait for that to go hold, but to join the sellers at this point
* as far as chaos theory goes, it disagrees and believes we will hit stop loss before any thought
of heading down , regardless its a strong trade
* we have bearish rsi and mfi which helps, they are oversold at the number 7 high, as well as the number 5 high, if we draw a horizontal line, perfectly picks the number 7 rejection, although number 5 was not super special and buyers came in there so i'm not sure how helpful that is long term.
* as far as elliot wave goes we could have completed the fifth wave and are looking for a 3 wave retracement which helps us as we are aiming for the low at number 4

GC 8/26 Outlook – Filling the H4 FVG, Trend Not Ready YetPrice is finally working down into the H4 FVG (3377–3396 zone) after rejecting the Daily FVG overhead (~3425–3440). This is the key area of interest going into Tuesday’s trading sessions.
🔑 Context:
Daily FVG above → unfilled liquidity magnet for the future.
H4 FVG below → currently being filled, acting as the main battleground.
Daily Low (3405) already taken; price now sitting between liquidity pools.
ADX < 25 (HTFs) → No strong trending environment yet, so expect more range-like behavior until a side commits.
📌 What I’m Watching:
Reaction inside the H4 FVG → Looking for either absorption/reversal (bullish case) or continuation through to lower liquidity.
Liquidity Levels:
Midpoint of H4 FVG (~3394).
Bottom of H4 FVG (~3377).
Weekly/Monthly Lows (3353 / 3347) if downside momentum extends.
Killzones:
Asian: Likely to set the range.
London: Could raid deeper into FVG.
NY: Potential reaction leg (either reversal or continuation).
📊 Bias: Neutral → short-term bearish into H4 FVG completion. Waiting for a clear reaction to confirm the next trending move.
Gold Weekly Plan: Daily FVG → H4 FVGGold closed last week with a strong impulsive move into a Daily Fair Value Gap (FVG). As we open the new week, I’ll be watching closely:
Daily FVG (3423–3451): Potential resistance and rejection zone early in the week.
H4 Bullish FVG (3390–3395): If price rejects the Daily FVG, I expect a retrace into this zone to set the weekly low between Monday and Tuesday.
From there, we could see a bullish expansion for the rest of the week.
The key question: Will Gold respect the Daily FVG as resistance before rebalancing lower, or will buyers push straight through?
What’s your bias going into the week? 🚀📉
golds highly volitile return to solid sellers presents a = SELL1->2: a volitile move upward
2->5: followed by an expected controlled(ish)
downward move
5: buyers entering due to a view of price being cheap,
a lack of structure signals this might not last too long,
too much energy expension without rest
what do I think will happen?
* with this kind of volitility it's hard to say
* looking at logic we would like to enter ...
around the high of 4, expecting the sellers from 2
to be stronger, as they previously were able to push down
sellers from 1 that had a seemingly similar buy strength
* hidden divergence RSI and MFI
* oversold rsi and mfi
* we have reached the target according to zone trading,
next target would be at the high of 2 , im not sure that's
realistic, given the information we have so far
* we have a 64% success rate of reaching the next low
according to the indicator over the past 2,500 bars
* number 4 is more risky as a stop, but it is still a solid stop
we are potentially at a support turned resistance for a = SELL1: push buyers up from support
3: push buyers up less strongly from support
4 : volitile and strong push through support
* this means the former buyers there are replaced,
by sellers convinced this is a cheap buy
* what do I think will happen ?
* the question is , how convinced are the sellers from #4 ,
where the solid minor stop sellers are , as this is the current minor 'boss'
on this chart, the major ' boss' being the sellers at 2
* alongside oversold on rsi and MFI , we have 4 candles which wicked a minor demand zone but did not close above it
* we also have hidden divergence on the MFI and RSI adding to a sell confluence.
* in my opinion its enough to get us to a 1:1, maybe breakeven and go for a larger target
* according to chaos theory indicator zones,
over the past 2,500 candles, when price closes below a zone, it has a 66% chance of reaching the next zone below, a low below the current candle then prsents a good entry, with a target at the zone below and a good breakeven point when price enters the second travel zone below ( 66% chance we will travel from a orange zone to the next )
* another interesting detail is that when we add horizontal resistance lines from the peak of the rsi and mfi, it co-incides with price peaks, and predicts the next downturn to be here as well.
Gold Futures | H4 FVG Test as Asian Session OpensGold Futures completely filled the Daily FVG, so I’ve removed it and adjusted the chart to focus on the H4 FVG zone.
Price is now pressing deeper inside this imbalance, with 3350 as the key level to watch:
Hold above → potential accumulation and rotation higher.
Break below → sweep into 3348 liquidity and possibly lower.
Asian session may provide the first reaction, but I’ll be watching closely for London to confirm whether we hold or break this zone.
MGC (Micro Gold Futures) Trade Setup – 12H TimeframeOn the 12-hour timeframe, MGC has returned to the upper boundary of the horizontal range established since April 14, 2025. A surge in positive volume on August 7 was preceded by a sharp uptick beginning August 6, followed today by noticeably shallower volume—suggesting volume exhaustion and a potential pause or retracement.
Given today is Friday, profit-taking pressure may materialize following the rapid ascent that began with the breakout above the intermediate 3,400–3,440 zone on August 6. With no major macroeconomic events scheduled that could fuel further upside momentum, a pullback becomes a plausible scenario.
Illustrative Setup: A Sell Limit entry is considered around the 3,500 mark, with a Stop Loss at 3,550—matching the April 25 all-time high—and a Take Profit at 3,360, which aligns with intermediate support within the larger range. This setup offers a risk-reward ratio of approximately 2.8:1, assuming price reacts to overhead resistance and reverts toward the range’s mid-zone.

Gold is testing key levels – setup indicates a favorable buying.Here are 2 charts of Gold on the Daily Timeframe.
GOLD1! is approaching its support zone, with key levels at ₹98,200 and ₹98,800.
The Monthly Pivot at ₹98,375 also aligns with this zone, indicating a strong support area.
Fibonacci Golden Ratio is also indicating key support levels around ₹99,200 and ₹98,200, which may act as strong demand zones.
If respected, these levels could trigger a fresh upside move.
Thank You !!

Lessons learned:
Gold Futures | Accumulation in Play – Watching for Manipulation Gold Futures are currently sitting in the Accumulation phase of an AMD sequence. Price is ranging just above the Daily/H4 FVG demand zone (3350–3360) after rejecting supply at 3387–3394.
Here’s what I’m watching:
Accumulation: Current consolidation between 3368–3387.
Manipulation: A clean sweep of yesterday’s low (3368) would complete this phase.
Distribution: If manipulation plays out, I’ll look for price to rotate higher, targeting 3387 → 3404 and potentially higher levels.
⚖️ Bias: Waiting for liquidity run before positioning long.
No need to rush — the sweep is the confirmation. Until then, patient observation.
an uptrend returns to an area of strong action , continuation?1. a strong conviction selloff , or so it seemed, before an
even more powerful buy order in the same area ( set of buy orders)
1-2. notice that we have strong moves in both 1 and 2 , to me this
represents that this is a strong volume area , the resistance then
encoutnered by buyers at 1, should logically be support at 4
3. a higher high showing an interest to the upside, supporting the
idea at 4 of a position switch and test to take us up
4. the strong selloff to me is dangerous, if it was a profit take then
I would expect an immediate slow uptrend to continue up, this makes
the buy idea more danergous at 4 ...
what do I think will happen ?
* continuation is the play, we have a logical area to enter so... could we be
too early... maybe, maybe not.
* we have a great 79% follow through rate, if a candle closes on one side of the zone
it has a 79% chance to follow through to the other end, in this case only themiddle,
you can verify manually by having lookback at 100 and counting youself to verify.
GC Futures – Will Bulls Defend the Daily/H4 FVG Overlap?Gold Futures opened the week pressing directly into a stacked Daily + H4 FVG demand zone (3350–3360). Price action is sitting just above this level, making it the key battleground for the week.
Support: 3350 (FVG low), 3332 liquidity sweep
Resistance: 3377 → 3394 (prior D-H), 3451 (M-H)
Scenarios: Bounce off demand could target 3380–3394, with a reclaim opening 3420–3450. Failure here points to deeper liquidity at 3332.
Asian session may set the early range, but real direction likely comes during London/NY killzones. Watching closely for reaction inside the FVG overlap.
Shorting Gold again I will be amazed if this short dosent play out.
Those two red lines on are the actual stoploss placement. I thing the price should stretch beyond those two red lines.
for more safty, use the second stoploss as its more wider but safer than the first one.
Hopefully it goes through.
gold in clear downtrend : retrace or continuation down expected
1. push down with buyers coming in at #2
2. buyers come in with surprising but deceptive volitility,
not sustainable, a short upward flow to reach #3
3. sellers from #1 battle buyers from #2, double top formed
4. sellers push down to the previous hard reaction area, no such
reaction, this shows there is no true interest here.
- due to these factors.... I predict we might
a. go up to 3-4 area then head down below 4
b. go straight down below 4
due to the chaos theory indicator giving targets, its more
probable that we retrace at least, then we can enter lower
if price never goes lower then its invalid and we look
to see the next steps.
Gold Futures – Waiting for the Flush Before the Long (Asian KillMarket Context:
Gold is sitting right inside a confluence zone — overlapping Daily + H4 Fair Value Gaps at 3,375–3,380. This zone also aligns with the lower boundary of last week’s range (W-L at 3,397).
What I’m Watching:
Going into the Asian Killzone, I’m looking for an impulsive spike down into this FVG.
This move would ideally push below 3,375, tag liquidity, and create DOM excess — the kind of aggressive selling that often marks exhaustion before reversal.
ADX is above 25 and rising, signaling momentum is strong — but we’re at a potential pivot level.
Bullish Setup Criteria:
Flush down into 3,375 or slightly below.
DOM excess showing absorption (stuck sellers).
Strong rejection candle (M1/M5) followed by bullish follow-through.
Targets if Triggered:
T1: 3,397 (Weekly Low)
T2: 3,423 (Daily High)
Stretch: 3,451 (Monthly High)
Invalidation:
1H close below 3,375 without immediate reclaim.
Summary:
Patience is key. I want to see sellers press in during Asia, fail to break down with continuation, and then get run over on a squeeze higher. If we get the right reaction, this could be the start of a strong move into Weekend.
