Gold 15-Minute Breakout and Retest Trade Plan

212
Current Price: 3,362.84 USD

Recent Move: Sharp bullish breakout after a tight consolidation range.

🔹 Trade Setup Components:

✅ Entry Point:

3,355.67 USD (marked on the chart)

This level was resistance during the consolidation phase; now acting as support after the breakout.

✅ Stop Loss:

3,348.92 USD

Positioned just below the consolidation support area to reduce the risk of a false breakout.

✅ Target Point:

3,399.45 USD (approximate target within the highlighted target zone around 3,399.08)

This gives an upside potential of ~43.78 USD per ounce.

✅ Reward/Risk Calculation:

Risk: ~6.75 USD

Reward: ~43.78 USD

Reward/Risk Ratio: ~6.5:1, which is highly favorable for trend-following trades.

🔹 Price Action Observations:

The strong bullish candle that closed above the previous highs confirms breakout momentum.

Follow-through buying pressure reinforces the bullish bias.

The consolidation area has been clearly defined and tested multiple times, validating the zone as a reliable support region.

Volume (not shown here) would be helpful to confirm conviction behind the move.

🔹 Strategy Notes:

Bias: Bullish continuation toward 3,399.45.

Invalidation: Price falling below 3,348.92 and closing beneath it would negate the bullish structure.

Management Considerations:

Partial profit-taking could be considered near 3,380–3,390 to lock in gains.

Trailing stop can be used to protect profits if momentum continues strongly.

Watch out for possible retracements back to the entry zone before continuation.

✅ Summary:
This is a well-defined breakout-retest setup with a strong momentum signal, excellent reward/risk ratio, and clearly marked invalidation level. If the breakout holds, the target zone near 3,399 remains a realistic objective.
