XAUUSD - 1HXAUUSD – 1H Technical Outlook (October 25, 2025)
Gold (XAUUSD) continues to trade within a short-term bullish corrective structure after forming a higher low near the Previous Day Low (PDL) around the 4,060 zone. The recent rebound shows clear signs of accumulation, with multiple Change of Character (ChoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) confirming short-term bullish intent.
Key Market Structure Observations:
Liquidity Sweep: The market swept liquidity below PDL and immediately showed a bullish reaction, suggesting that Smart Money may have absorbed sell-side liquidity before pushing price higher.
ChoCH → BOS Sequence: The shift in market structure to the upside aligns with a potential intraday reversal.
Equilibrium Zone: The price is currently trading around the equilibrium level (~4,100–4,115), indicating a balanced area where both buyers and sellers are active.
Weak High & PDH: The Previous Day High (PDH) around 4,155 is a weak high, meaning it’s a likely liquidity target before any meaningful pullback occurs.
Premium Zone: Above PDH lies the premium imbalance area (~4,180–4,220), which may serve as the final liquidity target for this upward leg.
Momentum & Indicator Check:
The stochastic oscillator recently pulled back from the overbought zone but remains above the midline, showing healthy bullish momentum. As long as the oscillator doesn’t break below the 40–50 zone, bulls maintain control.
Trading Plan:
Buy Zone: 4,090 – 4,100 (Equilibrium retest)
Target 1: 4,155 (PDH liquidity)
Target 2: 4,219 (Premium zone)
Stop-Loss: Below 4,077
Market Bias:
Bullish intraday bias – favoring buy setups on pullbacks toward the equilibrium zone. A break and close above 4,155 would confirm continuation toward 4,200+.
