Gold | Short Bias | Liquidity Sweep Potential | (April 2025)Gold (XAUUSD) | Short Bias | Liquidity Sweep Potential + Structure Watch | (April 27, 2025)
1️⃣ Insight Summary:
Gold is at a critical level where multiple scenarios could unfold. Money flow and structure suggest a higher probability for lower prices, but a move higher toward $3,477 remains possible too.
2️⃣ Trade Parameters:
Bias: Short
Entry Zone: Watching for liquidity sweep around $3,225
Stop Loss: Above recent structure highs if the sweep setup fails
TP1: Partial profit near $3,225 (liquidity grab area)
TP2: Further downside depending on momentum and structure after the sweep
3️⃣ Key Notes:
✅ Money flow is exiting, and market structure leans toward lower prices for now.
✅ Heavy liquidity is resting around $3,225 — a sweep could trigger key reactions and partial exits.
✅ Still some possibility that Gold pushes higher toward $3,477 if market sentiment flips short-term bullish.
✅ Structure is not completely clean yet — waiting for a clearer setup before going heavy.
✅ Watch S&P 500 closely: a short-term correction there could help Gold move higher temporarily as a non-correlated asset.
❌ Risk if Gold breaks higher before sweeping $3,225, invalidating the current short-biased setup.
4️⃣ Follow-up:
I will continue monitoring Gold’s structure closely and will update the idea if we get a clean sweep or confirmation for the next move.

Watch to Watch - Gold Bearish Head and ShouldersWith the recent strength in US equities, the long gold trade may be over. Gold broke below a key trendline and formed a distinct bearish head and shoulder pattern signifying possible downside pressure coming up today and into the next week. Definitely worth watching for futures traders. First target with a break lower would be around $3240 with a lot of downside from there.

GC (gold) UpdateSo I managed to dump my GLD holdings Tues premarket (left a comment on one of my posts Tuesday morning) because I realized that gold was doing a three drive pattern, got a pump at the end which started to sell off premarket. Not to mention, it had hit the target I posted with the big green arrow.
Also, we have confirmation that my 3 hr indicator does work on GC, it bounced when MFI hit my red line. Did not play it, and it's a pretty weak bounce. GC isn't behaving the same as it did on its way up, I think there are bagholders that bought on the way down that are selling now on the way up. Every pump pump just gets sold off, there were some pumpers afterhours today, but that pump sold off and looks to me like it wants to go red tonight.
Going to wait until I see a big move before I play this again. I think the only reason why it's a little green tonight is because they're pumping commodities, and gold is a commodity. The Euros might sell it off though, seems like they are always the sellers, guessing the gold algos are mainly run by them.
I don't plan on shorting but if you do, the time to do it is when MFI hits overbought.
