XAUUSD – Lana prefers Sell, Buy is only for scalping 💛
Quick Summary
Short-term trend: Downward pressure dominates
Timeframe to watch: H1
Strategy: Sell is primary; Buy is only for short-term, quick trades at liquidity zones
Note: Today there are many US data releases and events, so volatility could be higher than usual
Market Context
The market enters the session with a dense news flow: US President’s speech, unemployment rate, seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls, and retail sales.
In such a context, gold often experiences strong swings and liquidity hunts before moving in the main direction. Therefore, Lana prioritises selling at higher zones and only buying short-term when the price reaches clear support areas.
Technical View
After the previous upward move, the H1 structure shows that the price is weakening and a continuation of the downtrend is likely.
The upper zone, where short-term resistance converges, is suitable for Sell trades following the intraday trend. Below, liquidity zones may trigger bounce reactions, but Lana considers these only for scalping and does not hold long Buy positions.
Intraday Trading Scenarios
Main scenario – Sell with the trend
Sell: 4308 – 4312
SL: 4320
This is Lana’s preferred zone today. If the price retraces to this zone and shows rejection, the downtrend is likely to continue.
Buy Scenario 1 – Scalping near support
Buy: 4253
SL: 4240
This Buy is only for a short wave, with priority on quick profit-taking when there is a reaction.
Buy Scenario 2 – Scalping at deep liquidity zone
Buy: 4213
SL: 4200
This is a stronger liquidity zone. If the price drops quickly here during news releases, a technical bounce may occur, but Lana still prefers not to hold Buy positions for long.
Session Notes
Asian – European sessions: may see oscillations and technical retracements
US session: can experience strong news-driven moves, sweeping both ends before choosing a clear direction
Each scenario is only a probability, not a certainty.
On high-news days, Lana always reduces position size, sets clear SLs, and accepts skipping trades if the price does not reach the target zones.
