XAUUSD - Compression Phase Before the Next Major Move?

143
I still see the market as more bearish-neutral rather than bullish.

Why?
We still have a clear sequence of lower highs
The descending trendline is still holding
Every rebound is becoming weaker
Bullish candles lack strong follow-through
The EMA200 is still acting as dynamic pressure above price

In addition:
The 0.5 Fibonacci zone (~4422) has not been reclaimed aggressively
Price reactions are slow and overlapping
The structure looks more like distribution/compression rather than true bullish accumulation

Very important:
The triangle structure is starting to compress volatility.
This type of compression usually leads to a strong impulsive move afterward.

What would I personally do?

I would NOT buy in the middle of compression
I would wait for breakout confirmation

BUY scenario:
A Daily close, or at least a strong H4 close above the descending trendline
Then a higher low formation
Followed by continuation above 4700

Only then would the long setup become cleaner.

SELL scenario:
Clear loss of the 4500-4450 level
Strong bearish impulse candles
In that case, the 4200–4000 zone becomes highly probable

Right now, honestly?

The market feels like a “dead zone” where traders are getting trapped on both sides.

If I had to choose a directional bias right now:

I would still lean slightly bearish until the descending trendline gets invalidated.

Especially because:
The candle structure still does not show a healthy reversal
It looks more like a weak correction inside a larger downtrend.
