Gold | Zone-Based High-RR Long Setup | Bullish BiasGold | Zone-Based High-RR Long Setup | Bullish Bias
I currently carry a bullish bias on Gold. Price is approaching a pre-defined demand zone marked on the chart — this is a reaction area, not a prediction. I only engage after confirmation from within the zone. If the zone holds, continuation toward the marked resistance is expected. If it fails, the idea is invalidated immediately. IT WORKS 90% OF THE TIMES THOUGH!
This setup is independent of session or time. Execution, risk management, and psychology decide the outcome — analysis only provides the framework. Risk is always predefined. No chasing. No emotional trades.
Trade the zone. Manage the risk. Let the market do the rest.
Happy Trading.

Short Covering vs. New Money (Waiting for the Catalyst)COMEX:GC1! COMEX_MINI:MGCG2026 FOREXCOM:XAUUSD
Traders. Mid-week context check as we wait for institutional commitment.
Market Context (The Mechanical Bounce): As noted in the previous update, yesterday's rotation was driven by Short Covering—old money exiting profitable shorts—rather than Initiative Buying (New Money) entering fresh longs.
The Trap: Short covering can lift the auction, but it lacks the sustained energy to break new highs. We are seeing price drift without aggressive volume.
Inventory: We are currently balancing above the Previous Week High (PWH). This zone is holding, but the auction feels "heavy" without fresh inflows.
The Fundamental "Hold" (Why Big Funds are Waiting): "Big Funds" are likely sidelined ahead of the tier-1 data dump. They need clarity before deploying serious capital for the week.
Today (Wed): ADP Payrolls & ISM Services.
Friday: The NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls).
The Reality: Until these numbers drop, we may remain in a "chop" or "balance" phase as institutions hedge rather than commit.
Plan & Execution:
Bias: Slightly Long, strictly conditional on holding above the PWH.
The Trigger: I need to see Follow Through. We need a volume spike (Initiative Buying) to confirm that "New Money" has arrived to defend this breakout.
Caution: If we fail to find acceptance higher and lose the PWH, expect a rotation back inside the previous balance to find liquidity.

Gold on 01.12.2025Today’s move, right at the London open, pushed gold into the lower zone, where it can be observed that institutions were looking to sweep through the entire fair value area created the previous day. The peak of the move occurred during the cash session, after we reached the POC zone and the 0.6 Fibonacci levels. The rejection to the upside was quite aggressive.
Liquidation Break & The "New Money" TestCOMEX:GC1! COMEX_MINI:MGCG2026 FOREXCOM:XAUUSD
Following up on the previous context regarding the "Thin Structure Repair."
Market Context (The Repair): As anticipated, the auction corrected lower to repair the thin profile left behind by the holiday drift.
Monday: Developed as a Balance Day, digesting the recent move.
Today: We saw a Liquidation Break early in the session, effectively flushing out weak hands, followed by a rotation back up.
Structure & Inventory (The "Tell"): The current bounce is characteristic of Short Covering (old money exiting winning shorts) rather than Initiative Buying (new money entering longs).
The Trap: Short covering can rally price, but it is mechanical and temporary. It creates a "hollow" move if not supported by fresh volume.
The Requirement: To re-test and break the All-Time Highs, we need to see "New Money" step in. Without this sustained buying flow, the auction will lack the energy to hold higher prices.
Plan & Execution:
Stance: Cautious / Monitoring for flow confirmation.
Scenario A (Bullish): If we see aggressive Initiative Buying absorbing offers above the short-covering highs, we target the ATH.
Scenario B (Bearish): If the rally stalls and "new money" fails to show up, expect the market to rotate deeper to find supportive bids (value) at lower levels.

Gold Update 02DEC2025: Multiple Options Are PossibleThe price has been stuck in the range as expected for wave 4
Let’s navigate this chaos and build viable paths on the chart
Option 1: Ending Diagonal wave 5 — pink marks
This option is based on the idea that wave 4 looks disproportionately large compared to wave 2
It could already be over after the first large move down to the $3,900 area
The current ascending zigzag may be shaping an Ending Diagonal in wave 5 to retest the former top around $4,400
Option 2: Triangle — orange marks
I left this path on the chart last time for visualization and it still could play out
Waves A and B could be completed with waves C, D, E ahead
Option 3: Large sideways consolidation (range, box) — white marks
This scenario implies a flat correction within the established $4,400–$3,900 range
Which path do you think the price will take?

GC UpdateSilver looks topped out, and gold moving down as well. I think I'll wait for indicators this time, lol.
I exited out of the trade a bit early last week because ES1! had an open gap that I knew would fill, and I wasn't sure if gold would go down with the stock market.
With silver going parabolic, and gold following the same direction, I think this might be a difficult trade to track, but I'll give it a go, lol.

How to Trade with Bollinger Bands in TradingViewBollinger Bands are a volatility indicator that helps traders identify market extremes, trend strength, and potential breakout setups by measuring how far price moves away from its average.
What You’ll Learn:
• Understanding Bollinger Bands as a volatility-based trading tool built around a moving average
• How the middle band represents the 20-period simple moving average (SMA)
• How the upper and lower bands are calculated as two standard deviations above and below that SMA
• Why expanding bands signal rising volatility — and tightening bands signal market compression
• Recognizing overbought and oversold conditions when price touches or moves beyond the upper or lower bands
• Why these signals aren’t automatic buy or sell triggers, and how to confirm them with other tools like RSI or MACD
• Identifying the “Bollinger Band squeeze,” a setup that often precedes major breakouts
• Spotting potential mean-reversion trades when price closes back inside the bands after moving outside
• How to add Bollinger Bands on TradingView via the Indicators menu
• Understanding the default settings (20, 2) and how adjusting the period or deviation affects sensitivity
• Practical examples using the E-mini S&P 500 futures chart
• Applying Bollinger Bands across daily, weekly, and intraday timeframes for volatility analysis and signal confirmation
This tutorial is designed for futures traders, swing traders, and technical analysts who want to integrate volatility dynamics into their trading approach.
The methods discussed may help you identify breakout conditions, trend continuation signals, and potential reversal zones across multiple markets and timeframes.

Thin Structure Repair & ATH ProximityCOMEX:GC1! COMEX_MINI:MGCG2026
Market Structure (The Problem):
The rally into this new high was built on a very thin profile. The auction moved higher emotionally on low holiday volume, leaving a series of single prints/low volume nodes (LVN) below current price.
The Theory:
In Market Profile, "thin" structures are fragile. The market often needs to rotate back down to "repair" this structure—backfilling the volume to prove that buyers actually exist at these higher prices.
Context & Seasonality:
ATH Proximity: We are striking distance from All-Time Highs. The air is thin up here, and without strong volume support, a breakout is prone to failure.
Time Constraint: We have a short trading window (runway) before Christmas and Year-End book squaring. Liquidity will likely be sporadic.
Plan & Execution: Heading into the US Open, I am cautious of this rally.
Stance: Flat / Monitoring.
The Setup: I am looking for a correction to repair the thin profile below.
Execution: If the market rotates down and finds acceptance (buyers) within that thin structure, it validates the trend. If it slices through, the rally was a fake-out.
Let's see how the auction develops today.
