gold is at the edge of pullback if structure is correct 1->3 : number 3 closes above number 1 ,
making number 2 proven buyers
3->4 : return to proven buyers
next ?
* lower LRC extended to 3 deviation points for
potential extreme pullback
* rsi and mfi hidden bull ( continuation) + oversold
* these complex tools can be embarresingly
bad.. but schiff pitchfork with frequency
shifting catches an edge in obv indicator, alongside diagonal trendline and horizontal support line
buyers are being setup for a trap , it seems obvious but dontmy theory for gold sells
*I was initially bullish until
I noticed a few tricky things
* structure number 2 is not
a solid low, meaning they
have not proven themselves
to be stronger than number 1
sellers, because they have not
created a push above them,
so this low is misleading and
not a proper stop
* obv is in a downtrend while
price is in an uptrend, obv
in downtrend means that there
is an increased selling interest ,
so this diverging from price going
up can only mean .... there
are no buyers and price is not going up
due to a huge amount of buying power but the sellers are not pushing too hard in specific areas
* the 3 support lines are not solid support, in fact they are all wicks and 'fake lows'
* I dont have a solid stop to enter a short,
but all these things + divergence on rsi and mfi is just telling me that the obvious
buy trade might be a trap
Intraday Bearish Narrative – London Session (Gold Futures)Gold opened the London session under clear downside pressure, extending weakness from the prior U.S. session. After a strong rally into the 3619–3620 area, sellers regained control, forming lower highs and pressing price below the descending trendline (red dashed).
During London hours, attempts to recover above 3600–3606 failed, reinforcing the bearish bias. The current setup aligns with a sell-on-rally structure: price has retested the broken trendline and prior support-turned-resistance zone near 3610–3613, where sellers defended strongly.
As long as price holds below 3613, the bearish structure remains intact, with intraday downside targets layered at:
3593.5 (nearest support, minor liquidity pocket)
3569–3566 (London extension target, key demand zone)
3550–3548 (deeper measured move target if momentum accelerates).
Stops are well-placed above 3610–3613, invalidating the setup if buyers reclaim this supply zone.
📉 Bias: Bearish intraday continuation, favoring shorts beneath 3610–3613 with room for multiple downside liquidity sweeps into the mid-3500s.
return to proven sellers presents sell continuation could not post on time due to 10 post per day limit. I entered as per the drawing tool visualization.
1->3 : creates a lower low , number 2 are dominant sellers
3->4: we see a solid buying pressure coming to meet our
sellers who have pushed the market below the previous
attempt to push up at number 1
what next ?
* a break below support / micro bull turn point with stop
above number 2 would look safe
* from number 2->4 I have a 2nd degree bearish divergence
* increasing volitility and sideways movemnet as market
prepares to open and perhaps pick a direction
* vwap 1st standard deviation from number 1
*extreme of peak #2 might align with vwap and vpoc ,
perhaps a sell stop when price reaches there ... which
it might when volume picks up
*despite price going up, staying under
obv trendline showing selling interest
*micro bear pattern wanted
GC/GOLD bull rally setupHigh potential: looking for a 60 SMA support (~3200) in 2 weeks and then continue the bull rally (green path)
Medium potential: looking for a 20 weekly SMA support (~3140) in 1 month and then continue the bull rally (cyan path)
Low potential: directly break out next week (red path), but indicators do not quite support this case, so it may need some "external news"
Gold Futures (MGC / GC) — Daily Outlook (Wed)Price just broke the previous ATH (3,578) and is in new price discovery. Momentum is bullish, but there are key imbalances below that could attract price before continuation.
🔍 Key Levels
ATH (3,578) → breakout level to watch
1H FVG (3,565–3,575) → short-term support zone
4H + 8H FVG stack (3,515–3,535) → deeper liquidity target
Immediate resistance → 3,610–3,620 zone
⚖️ Scenarios for Wednesday
1️⃣ Bullish Continuation (primary bias)
If ATH (3,578) holds → look for continuation into 3,610–3,620+
1H FVG may provide a bounce if tested
2️⃣ Deeper Pullback (secondary bias)
Failure to hold ATH → watch for a drop into 3,515–3,535 (4H/8H FVGs) before bullish continuation
✅ Trade Plan Idea
Continuation play:
Buy on ATH retest / 1H FVG bounce (3,575 zone) → target 3,610–3,620+
Deeper retrace play:
If ATH breaks clean → wait for price inside 3,515–3,535 zone → look for reversal confirmation long
📌 Notes
Momentum = bullish until proven otherwise
Don’t chase → wait for either ATH defense or clean retrace into imbalances
Manage risk → this is price discovery, expect volatility
📊 What’s your bias here? Do you see price holding ATH for continuation, or do you think we dip first into the deeper FVGs?
Basic Trading: Marking Support and Resistance In this lesson, I walk through the basics of how I mark support and resistance levels on my charts. These key zones highlight areas where price has reacted multiple times, creating strong consolidation. Within these zones, there’s often opportunity to capture moves as the market ranges and builds momentum. By identifying these levels, traders can better anticipate entries, manage risk, and find room to profit inside the zone before price makes its next breakout or reversal.

gold is at a decision point to continue upward or retrace furthe1->3 : creates solid major buyers in number 2 , if price closes below number 2 this is obviously invalidated and sellers are showing their hand now
3->4 : we return back to number 2 buyers
what do I think will happen next ?
* if number 2 buyers can prove themselves, this could be a very good market edge for the buyers to push the market higher, conversly if we push below number 2 , we would wait for a pull back below to other support, as the uptrend is too strong to consider a full on reversal
* frequency shifted obv return is possible and using that support to predict buying orders,
* hidden bullish rsi and mfi
Gold Holding Asian 50% -- Bulls Gearing up for London Push?Price retraced cleanly to the Asian session 50% midpoint after yesterday’s strong rally. With the London Killzone approaching, I’m watching for bullish confirmation and a potential continuation higher.
Macro backdrop adds fuel:
Markets are pricing a 90% chance of a September Fed rate cut.
JPMorgan now forecasting four cuts starting this month, reinforcing bullish momentum in Gold.
⚠️ Holiday liquidity could create sharp stop-hunts, so confirmation is key. Looking for orderflow strength before stepping in.

a return to microstructure provides a continuation opportunity 1->3 : creates a higher high ,
with number 2 buyers showing
superior volume with respect to
number 1 sellers
3->4 : we return to the genesis of
the local scope uptrend continuation
what do I think will happen next ?
* obv is in a solid uptrend showing
continued buying pressure
* vwap provides a rejection / support point at
the number 2 low using a lower pivot to anchor
* price has no great reason to come
back above the volume cluster here if selling is the point
* hidden bullish pressure on rsi and
mfi on the lower fracal structure
