XAUUSD Long Setup (15min) – SMC, Liquidity Sweep & NY Session

120
Structure shifted bullish after a deep liquidity sweep during NY Killzone, with CHoCH confirmation and entry from a refined mitigation zone.

🧠 Analysis Highlights:
Market Structure: Bearish leg broken after sweeping liquidity → bullish CHoCH formed.

Liquidity Sweep: Clean stop-hunt under previous low (~3090) triggered reactive volume spike.

Mitigation Zone: Price returned to a 15m Fair Value Gap + last down candle OB.

Session Context: Setup occurred during NY Killzone — high-volume manipulation time.

🟢 Trade Plan:
Entry: 3100–3105 (after mitigation into OB/FVG zone)

Stop Loss: Below 3085 (beneath swept low)

Target: 3186 (previous H1 supply zone + internal liquidity cluster)

⏰ Confluences:
Liquidity taken → internal CHoCH confirms intent

Mitigation into OB + FVG combo

NY Session active (smart money participation)

Break of internal bearish trendline adds momentum

⚠️ Potential Risks:
Further sweep below 3085 if NY session induces one more fakeout

H1 supply around 3186 might cause early rejection

Confirm bullish intent with M5/M15 candle structure (engulfing, strong displacement)

✅ Bias: Bullish
Let price confirm the entry. Don’t jump in blindly — wait for mitigation + structure shift, especially in sessions where volume + manipulation align.
