📊 DAILY MARKET DESK — XAUUSD

After last night's bearish movement, our focus remains on following the trend. However, today is the weekly candle close and we also have NFP later today, which means volatility and manipulation can increase significantly before market close.

Currently, I'm waiting for gold to react around our Daily Decision Zone. Gold has been ranging around these levels for almost 2 weeks, so patience will be key.

🎯 Bias:
Bearish overall. Looking for continuation sells unless price reclaims the Daily Decision Zone.

📍 Key Levels:
• Daily Decision Zone: 4459 - 4465
• HTF Resistance Cluster: 4487 - 4492
• HTF Supply Confluence Zone: 4498 - 4503

💧 Liquidity Areas:
• Buy-side liquidity above 4498
• Sell-side liquidity below 4423

📈 Possible Setup:
If price rejects the Daily Decision Zone, we can look for continuation sells. If price breaks and holds above the zone, a quick scalping buy into resistance is possible before looking for fresh sell opportunities.

❌ Invalidation:
Strong acceptance above the HTF Resistance Cluster.

⚠️ Risk Reminder:
NFP day. Reduce risk, wait for confirmation, and avoid chasing candles.

TP 1 HIT ✅

Close half and move SL to BE.

To The Moon! TP2 smashed and Gold delivered us 200+ Pips.

Closed completely at TP2.

Quality > Quantity

🔍 Why I took this Setup:

✅ Gold has swept liquidity below the recent intraday lows and quickly reclaimed the area, showing signs of buyer strength stepping back into the market around our entry zone.

✅ The entry sits at a newly formed intraday demand zone, making it a logical area for price to continue higher.

One quality trade a day > 10 baseless trades.

📊 DAILY MARKET DESK — XAUUSD

Gold is currently moving sideways with limited momentum, which increases the possibility of manipulation before the next expansion move. We have multiple higher timeframe zones in play, but for now I'm leaning bullish.

I expect gold to push higher and retest the Daily Supply Reclaim Zone. Keep in mind this zone has already been tested multiple times, making it weaker. If price breaks above and successfully retests it, we can look for buying opportunities as the zone flips into support.

🎯 Bias:
Bullish. Looking for buys above the Daily Supply Reclaim Zone.

📍 Key Levels:
• Daily Supply Reclaim Zone: 4345 - 4350
• HTF Resistance Cluster: 4366 - 4371
• H4 Demand Reclaim Zone: 4305 - 4310

💧 Liquidity Areas:
• Buy-side liquidity above 4350
• Buy-side liquidity above 4371

📈 Possible Setup:
Wait for a breakout above the Daily Supply Reclaim Zone, followed by a pullback and bullish confirmation for continuation buys.

❌ Invalidation:
Failure to break the Daily Supply Reclaim Zone and a move below the H4 Demand Reclaim Zone.

⚠️ Risk Reminder:
Stay patient in ranging conditions. Let the breakout and retest happen before committing risk.

TP1 was smashed ✅

I hope you guys know how to manage trades.

Gold is bouncing from HTF Demand Zone 👀

🔍 Why I Took This Setup:

✅ 4305-4310 aligns with our H4 RBS (Resistance Becomes Support) Zone, a key area where buyers previously showed strong interest.

✅ The M30 bullish trendline remains intact, supporting the overall buy-side bias and increasing the probability of a reaction from our entry zone.

✅ This area also contains a fresh H1 support that has not yet been retested since the breakout, making it a high-probability pullback zone for buyers to step in. 📈🔥

📊 DAILY MARKET DESK.

Gold is currently moving in very large ranges, which is why we’re focusing only on higher timeframe zones. Overall, gold remains bearish after breaking out of the Daily timeframe range last week, so our long-term bias remains to the downside.

There is currently an M15 + M30 bullish trendline in play, which could push price higher into our H1-H4 Supply Confluence Zone before sellers step back in. For now, we’re patiently waiting for price to reach our areas of interest.

🎯 Bias:
Bearish overall. Looking for sell opportunities from higher timeframe supply zones.

📍 Key Levels:
• H1-H4 Supply Confluence Zone: 4131 - 4138
• Daily Supply Reclaim Zone: 4148 - 4158
• HTF Demand Zone: 4050 - 4057

💧 Liquidity Areas:
• Buy-side liquidity above 4138 & 4158
• Sell-side liquidity below 4050

📈 Possible Setup:
If price pushes into the H1-H4 Supply Confluence Zone and shows bearish confirmation, we’ll look for continuation sells in line with the higher timeframe trend.

❌ Invalidation:
Strong bullish acceptance above the Daily Supply Reclaim Zone.

⚠️ Risk Reminder:
Trade with the trend, wait for confirmation, and don’t force entries in the middle of the range.
