XAUUSD | PDH Liquidity Grab – Bearish Reversal Setup ICT Concept

52
🧠 ICT-Based Trade Setup (Gold / XAUUSD - 1H)

✅ Bias: Bearish Reversal from Liquidity Grab


---

🔹 Setup Explanation:

Previous Day Low (PDL) was swept → Sell-side liquidity taken out.

Price tapped into a bullish H1 Order Block, creating a bullish reaction.

Price then rallied into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and PDH (Buy-side Liquidity).

This area is where retail traders buy, and smart money looks to sell (liquidity grab).

No significant break of external range liquidity yet → indicates possible reversal.



---

🔸 Trade Plan (Short Setup):

🟡 Entry:

Sell/Short around $3,335 – $3,340

This is the FVG zone + PDH liquidity level



🔴 Stop Loss:

Just above the external range liquidity: $3,405

Reason: If price breaks this level, the bearish setup is invalid.



🟢 Take Profit Targets:

1. TP1: $3,310 – Retest of minor bullish order block.


2. TP2: $3,295 – H1 Order Block low.


3. TP3: $3,280 – Previous Day Low (PDL) / Sell-side liquidity sweep area.
