Gold (XAUUSD) – 17 July Analysis | Demand Zone in Play🟢 Gold (XAUUSD) – 17 July Analysis | Demand Zone in Play Gold continues to follow the bullish structure we’ve been tracking in our recent posts. Yesterday's news-driven price action pushed the market to a new swing high near 3377.600 , confirming strength in higher timeframes. Now, price is currently in a retracement/pullback phase , pulling back toward a key intraday demand zone at 3326–3320 — offering potential opportunity for the next leg upward. 🔍 Where Are We Now? The market is currently pulling back toward a key M15 demand zone: 3326–3320 . This level also aligns with a higher timeframe order block on the H4, making it a critical confluence area for structure-based traders. This 3326–3320 zone is crucial because: → It’s a fresh M15 demand zone inside a higher timeframe bullish structure → It aligns with the H4 OB that previously acted as a launchpad → The overall trend remains bullish unless this zone is decisively broken If the zone holds and we get LTF confirmation (such as M1 internal structure shift + micro-BoS), it may present a high-probability long setup. ⚙️ Structure Summary: ✅ H4: Bullish continuation structure with recent higher high ✅ M15: Pullback within bullish order flow ✅ M1 (for entry): Awaiting ChoCH + BoS as entry trigger inside POI 📌 Trade Setup Plan (upon confirmation): → Entry: From 3326–3320 demand zone → Stop Loss: 40 pips below entry → Take Profit: 120 pips (targeting new HH based on H4 projection) → Risk-to-Reward Ratio: 1:3 🧠 Key Trading Insight: We never predict — we prepare . We don’t chase price — we position with confirmation . Discipline means waiting for price to invite us in , not entering just because a level looks attractive. 📈 Summary & Expectations: ➡️ Price is retracing into a structurally significant demand zone ➡️ Market bias remains bullish unless this zone fails ➡️ If the zone holds with valid M1 confirmation, we’ll consider a long setup targeting a new high ➡️ No confirmation = no trade. Patience > prediction. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror This analysis is part of our ongoing structure-based approach to trading Gold.

Gold – Bullish Structure Confirmed | July 16 Outlook🟢 Gold (XAUUSD) – July 16 Analysis | Uptrend Resumed After H4 OB Test As outlined in our previous post — Gold – H4 Structure at Key Decision Point | July 14 Outlook , price has now tested the H4 order block near 3320, which we marked as a high-probability reversal zone. Following this, the market has shown clear signs of strength — with both internal structure shift and a Break of Structure (BoS) on M15, confirming that the uptrend has resumed. 🔍 Structure Alignment: ✅ H4: Bullish continuation after OB test ✅ M15: ChoCH + BoS → confirms trend alignment with H4 📌 Key Intraday Levels to Watch: 🟩 3335–3333 (M15 Order Block & Breaker Level): → A short-term OB just before our main POI → If price respects this zone with LTF confirmation (M1 Micro-ChoCH + BoS), we may plan an early long entry 🟩 3327.7–3329.4 (Main M15 POI Zone): → High-probability continuation zone → On retest + LTF confirmation → plan for long setup 📈 Trade Plan: → Watch 3335–3333 OB first → If respected with M1 confirmation, early entry is valid → If that zone fails, wait for price to revisit 3327–3329 POI → Same confirmation rules apply In both cases, target new HH, in line with current trend momentum 📖 When price respects structure and confirms behavior, don’t second-guess — follow the process. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold – M15 Downtrend in Play | July 15 Analysis🔻 Gold (XAUUSD) – July 15 Analysis | Bearish Bias Until Proven Otherwise The market has entered a pullback phase on H4, and we’re expecting a potential retest of the 3320 Order Block before any continuation of the broader uptrend resumes. 🔍 M15 Market Structure: ✅ ChoCH followed by BoS confirms a downtrend on M15 🎯 Current short-term objective: Retest of H4 OB (3320) 📍 Price Action Context: Price is now revisiting the same M15 POI where yesterday’s short setup originated. Last session, this POI was respected, but instead of creating a new Lower Low, price is trading inside the same zone again. This signals indecision — so we let price reveal its intent 🧭 Trade Planning Scenarios: Scenario 1 – Bearish Continuation: → If the POI is respected again with clear M1 confirmation ( Micro-ChoCH + BoS ), we will plan for a short setup toward 3320 Scenario 2 – POI Breaks: → If price breaks above this POI zone, the next key level to observe is the 3355–3359 supply zone → We’ll reassess from there based on new confirmation 📌 Bias for Today: 🔻 Bearish bias remains intact as long as M15 structure does not shift back to bullish. All setups must align with structure — we are short-biased only until the market proves otherwise 📖 Structure before emotion. Let the market invite you — not the other way around. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold – H4 Structure at Key Decision Point | July 14 Outlook🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) – July 14 Outlook | Key Reaction Ahead at 3366 Gold closed Friday at 3355.665 , after facing resistance from the H4 swing high (3366) . While price failed to break that level during the session, the last H4 candle closed as a bullish spinning top , signaling indecision — but with slight bullish pressure. As we head into Monday’s open, the next move could be pivotal in determining the direction of the upcoming H4 trend leg. 🔮 Key Scenarios to Watch 1️⃣ Bullish Scenario (Preferred Bias): If the market opens above 3366 , creating a clean Break of Structure (BoS) , it would confirm the continuation of the H4 uptrend. → In this case, we will watch for a retest of the 3320 Order Block (OB) — a potential long setup zone. → If price gives another BoS after the first, it may also present a continuation entry opportunity, depending on structure. 2️⃣ Rejection / Bearish Case: If the market fails to break 3366 , we’ll step back and observe how M15 reacts. → Consolidation could follow before any significant BoS. → In this scenario, patience is key — we’ll wait for either confirmation of a deeper pullback or a structure shift on lower timeframes. 3️⃣ Consolidation Possibility: There’s also a strong possibility that price consolidates between the H4 swing high (3366) and the 3320 OB before making a structural decision. → A tight range can trap both buyers and sellers — so it’s crucial not to act prematurely. 🧭 Trade Bias Summary ✅ If BoS (above 3366): → Bullish bias confirmed → Look for long on OB retest (e.g., 3320 zone) or next M15 structure break ⚠️ If No BoS: → Step back, observe M15 → Wait for structure clarity before forming bias 🔁 If Range Forms (3366–3320): → Stay out until market resolves direction → Let breakout + retest guide the next setup 🧠 Final Thoughts This analysis is shared for educational and structural observation purposes only — not as trade advice or recommendation. The goal is to track price behavior around key zones and adapt based on how structure confirms or invalidates bias. 📖 Let the market reveal its intention — not with emotion, but through structure. We don’t predict the breakout — we prepare for both outcomes. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror
