AUDUSD Bearish After Hawkish Fed Remarks!Hey Traders,
In the coming week, we are monitoring AUDUSD for a potential selling opportunity around the 0.69200 zone. AUDUSD is trading in a broader downtrend and is currently in a correction phase, with price approaching the 0.69200 support and resistance area, a key resistance zone that could provide an attractive opportunity for bearish continuation.
From a fundamental perspective, the U.S. Dollar continues to find support after Fed Governor Kevin Warsh's hawkish remarks, which reinforced the view that the Federal Reserve may need to maintain a restrictive policy stance if inflation remains persistent. His comments have strengthened the higher-for-longer narrative, supporting Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar.
This creates a challenging environment for AUDUSD. The Australian Dollar, being a risk-sensitive currency, tends to underperform when the U.S. Dollar strengthens and markets price in tighter U.S. monetary policy. As long as the Fed maintains a hawkish tone, the balance of risks continues to favor further USD strength.
With price correcting into the 0.69200 resistance zone within a broader bearish structure, the current rally may present an attractive opportunity for sellers.
As long as price remains below the 0.69200 resistance zone, the bearish structure remains intact, and we anticipate continuation toward lower support levels.
Trade safe,
Joe

XAUUSD H4 — Liquidity Zones Decide The Next Move
Gold is trading around $4,088 after recovering from the low near $3,958. The short-term reaction is bullish, but the H4 structure is not fully reversed yet. Price is now moving between a lower buy liquidity zone and a higher medium-term sell OB zone, so chasing the middle range is not ideal.
From an SMC perspective, gold created a CHoCH near the lower area and started to push upward. This shows that buyers are trying to defend the lower demand zone. However, above the current price, there are still major liquidity and supply areas that may attract selling pressure again.
The key buy zone is $4,013–$4,027. If gold pulls back into this zone and buyers defend it with clear bullish confirmation, price may continue toward $4,110–$4,125, then $4,175–$4,195. The main sell reaction zone is $4,175–$4,195, where the medium-term OB is located. If price reaches this area and fails to break higher, sellers may return.
Buy setup 1
Condition:
Gold pulls back into the $4,013–$4,027 buy liquidity zone and confirms bullish MSS / CHOCH on lower timeframe.
Entry: $4,013–$4,027
SL: below $3,985
TP1: $4,088
TP2: $4,110–$4,125
TP3: $4,175–$4,195
Buy setup 2
Condition:
If gold breaks above the liquidity zone around $4,110–$4,125 and retests it as support, bullish continuation remains valid.
Entry: $4,110–$4,125 after breakout retest
SL: below $4,075
TP1: $4,150
TP2: $4,175–$4,195
TP3: $4,222
Sell setup
Condition:
Gold reaches the medium-term OB sell zone around $4,175–$4,195 and shows bearish rejection with MSS / CHOCH confirmation.
Entry: $4,175–$4,195
SL: above $4,222
TP1: $4,125
TP2: $4,088
TP3: $4,027
Key levels
Current price area: $4,088
Buy liquidity zone: $4,013–$4,027
Low area: $3,958
Liquidity zone: $4,110–$4,125
FVG area: $4,130–$4,160
Medium-term OB sell zone: $4,175–$4,195
Buy-side liquidity: $4,222
Month high: $4,383
Bullish confirmation: clean break above $4,125
Bearish reaction confirmation: rejection from $4,175–$4,195
Bullish invalidation: clean H4 close below $3,985
My current view is that gold is in a recovery phase after taking lower liquidity, but the safest Prime Gold plan is still to wait for price to reach major liquidity zones. I prefer buying only around the $4,013–$4,027 liquidity zone with confirmation, and watching for sell reaction if price reaches the $4,175–$4,195 OB zone.
No confirmation, no trade.

XAUUSD (1H) – Bullish Recovery SetupXAUUSD (1H) – Bullish Recovery Setup
Gold is showing signs of a bullish reversal after a strong sell-off into the 4,040 area. Price has reclaimed the 4,170 support and is now approaching a key demand zone around 4,300–4,320 (highlighted area).
The idea is for price to retest the demand zone, attract buyers, and then continue higher toward the first resistance at 4,363. A successful breakout above that level could open the path toward the major liquidity target around 4,541, where previous sellers entered the market.
Key Levels:
Demand Zone: 4,300–4,320
Resistance 1: 4,363
Major Target: 4,541
Invalidation: Sustained move below the demand zone
"Gold is recovering from a sharp decline and forming a potential bullish continuation structure. Watching the demand zone for buyer confirmation before targeting higher liquidity levels at 4,363 and 4,541." Long 
MASON XAUUSD – Important Rebound Zone AheadMASON XAUUSD – Gold May Rebound Toward Fibonacci Before Next Decision
XAUUSD is trading around 3,997 after a strong bearish move inside the descending channel. Price remains below the Ichimoku cloud, so the main structure is still bearish.
However, gold is reacting near the strong liquidity zone and buy area around 3,960–3,990, so a short corrective rebound may appear before the next trend confirmation.
Technical View
Gold is still moving inside a clear bearish channel. The market has been creating lower highs and lower lows, showing that sellers are still controlling the main structure.
Price is also below the Ichimoku cloud. This means the broader trend has not shifted bullish yet. Any recovery from the current zone should be treated as a correction unless price can break above the cloud and hold.
The current area around 3,960–3,990 is important because it combines the marked buy zone and strong liquidity support. Price reacting here shows that sellers may slow down in the short term.
If buyers defend this zone, gold may recover toward 4,040–4,050 first, then the Fibonacci and liquidity area around 4,118. This is the key rebound target to watch.
The stronger resistance remains near 4,216. If price reaches this zone and rejects, the bearish trend may continue again.
Key Zones
Current price: 3,997
Buy reaction zone: 3,960–3,990
Short-term confirmation: 4,040–4,050
Fibonacci & liquidity zone: 4,118
Strong resistance: 4,216
Invalidation for recovery: below 3,960
Trading Plan
Buy Recovery Priority: 3,960–3,990
Condition: wait for bullish rejection, higher low, or price holding above the strong liquidity zone.
SL: below 3,960
TP1: 4,040–4,050
TP2: 4,118
TP3: 4,216
Alternative Scenario
If gold breaks and holds above 4,050, wait for a retest before looking for continuation toward the Fibonacci liquidity zone at 4,118.
Sell View
Sell remains the main trend view while price stays below the Ichimoku cloud and inside the descending channel. A cleaner sell setup may appear if gold rejects from 4,118 or 4,216.
Final View
Overall, gold is still in a bearish structure, but the current liquidity zone may create a short corrective rebound. The key area to watch is 4,118, where Fibonacci and liquidity may decide the next move.
Will gold rebound toward the Fibonacci zone first, or break below the strong liquidity area directly?

XAUUSD|Descending Triangle Signals Potential Continuation Lower
Gold remains under bearish pressure after a strong impulsive decline, with price now consolidating inside a descending triangle on the 30-minute timeframe. The pattern is characterized by a series of lower highs against a flat support base near the 3,960 area, indicating that sellers continue to absorb buying interest.
Multiple retests of support suggest weakening demand, while the descending trendline continues to cap recovery attempts. As long as price remains below the trendline and the nearby supply zone around 4,000–4,020, the broader short-term bias remains bearish.
A confirmed breakdown below triangle support could trigger fresh selling momentum, exposing the 3,900 level as the next key downside objective. If bearish momentum accelerates, further downside expansion may follow toward lower support levels. Short 
AUDNZD - Long-Term Resistance Test, Correction Ahead?AUDNZD remains overall bullish on both the weekly and daily timeframes, continuing to respect the two ascending channels shown in red and brown, with the red channel representing the impulsive phase within the broader brown structure.
Price is now testing the upper boundary of the weekly bullish channel and has been consolidating recently inside the smaller blue channel.
For sellers to gain control and increase the probability of a broader correction phase, price would need to break below the green area, which would also confirm a break of both the red and blue channels.
At the same time, we can observe a developing bearish divergence, which may add more weight to the corrective scenario.
From a medium to short-term perspective, price is also approaching a red supply zone, creating an area where we can start looking for sell setups on lower timeframes as part of a corrective move inside the blue channel.
The reaction here may reveal whether the market is preparing for a healthy correction, or if the broader bullish trend is ready to continue.

#AUDNZD #AUD #NZD #Forex #TechnicalAnalysis #PriceAction #Trading #MarketStructure XAUUSD: Bullish Reversal from H1 Order Block Targeting 4,080Market OverviewGold ( OANDA:XAUUSD $) has undergone a classic market structure shift on the lower timeframes after finding a solid bottom around the $3,960$–$3,980$ region. Following a prolonged bearish trend marked by clear Break of Structure (BOS) levels to the downside, the asset has successfully shifted its character, breaking previous structural highs to the upside
Technical Analysis & Key Confluences
Market Structure Shift: The chart highlights a recent bullish BOS (Break of Structure) to the upside, signaling that buyers are taking control and shifting the macro bearish momentum.
Bullish Flag/Channel: Following the upward expansion, price consolidated within a neat descending corrective channel (highlighted in red). This flag pattern served as liquidity generation before the strong bullish breakout.
H1 Order Block (H1-OB): Price has forcefully broken out of the flag and formed a Higher High. We are currently looking at a potential retest or continuation from the validated H1 Order Block (the blue zone marked around $4,030$ - $4,040$).
Trade Execution Strategy🚀
Trade Setup: Bullish Continuation
Entry Zone: Market execution near current levels ($4,046$) or on a minor pullback into the H1-OB zone ($4,035$ - $4,040$).
Invalidation (Stop Loss): Below the H1 Order Block or the recent swing low (approx. $4,015$–$4,020$).
Take Profit (Target): $4,080$ (The major liquidity pool and unmitigated structural high from the previous breakdown). Long 
XAU/USD | Gold Showing Bullish Signals! Is A Recovery Beginning?By analyzing the #Gold chart on the 2H timeframe, we can see that this is a completely new outlook for Gold. After dropping to the $3958 region yesterday, buyers stepped in and triggered a strong recovery toward $4093. While this rally has been impressive, it is still relatively small compared to Gold's broader decline from around $5600 to $3958.
After reaching the key supply zone between $4092 and $4125, Gold experienced a minor pullback and is currently trading around the $4085 region.
One of the most important developments is that, for the first time in nearly two weeks, the chart is now printing Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL). In addition, we are also seeing a clear CHOCH followed by a BOS, all of which are marked on the chart. These are early technical signals that buyers may be attempting to regain short-term control.
The nearest demand zone is located between $4025 and $4045. As long as Gold manages to stabilize above this area, the probability of further upside continuation increases. On the upside, the next bullish targets to monitor are $4100, followed by $4113, $4125, and $4145. Although the broader trend remains under pressure, the recent price structure suggests that Gold could be preparing for a short-term bullish correction before the next major move develops.

BTC's Daily Just Loaded the Heaviest Long Signal of the Entire..BTC's Daily Just Loaded the Heaviest Long Signal of the Entire
Cycle - at a Cycle Low.
The Daily reads IMP 4/5 with SwLo Swept YES, Range Expansion YES,
ATR Expansion YES, Vol Elev at 92nd percentile. RCZ at 86th, ATR
at 87th. That is the most loaded the Daily IMP has been in any
session of this posting series. The 114-bar Daily bull
announcement is still the standing read at CQI:NaN - the
conviction engine still can't normalize - and the Last Ann
labels from both lower timeframes are visible right at current
price. But this signal is loading on the Daily where the 1H is
still carrying its 236-bar bear announcement at CQI 65.59,
completely unchanged from yesterday. The Daily wants to bounce
hard. The Hourly says nothing has changed.
Resistance: 60,089.58-60,423.01 - the shelf right above price
Key resistance: 60,556.17-60,756.67 - the cluster above
Current price: 59,351
Support: 58,022.75 - this week's low
Key support: 53,000-55,000 - weekly consolidation zone from
the 2024 range
Structural floor: 48,500-49,050 - where the weekly trendlines
converge with the range floor
Two paths from here:
The Daily's load resolves up: IMP at 4/5 fires, Vol Elev at
92nd sustains, price reclaims 60,423 and then 60,756. The
1H's 236-bar bear print finally gets challenged by a real
signal rather than a fading attempt. This would be the first
time in this cycle the Daily has won an argument with the
Hourly.
The Daily's load resolves down: the IMP 4/5 reads as
exhaustion at the low rather than accumulation, the Hourly's
undecayed conviction holds, price loses 58,022 and the weekly
consolidation zone at 53K becomes the operative target. The
Daily's CQI:NaN means the system literally can't tell you
how meaningful the bull print actually is.
The Daily's IMP load at 4/5 is rare. The combination of that
plus the 1H showing nothing, plus a CQI:NaN that means the
Daily ACE engine can't normalize against history, is the most
asymmetric read this posting cycle has produced. The Daily is
screaming. The Hourly is silent. One of them is wrong.

Study, not financial advice. The Elephant Jungle 6/26/26 Page 4So Red, What’s the Play?
Right now, I am watching for a long from the 1H Order Block. If I do not get any confirmations there, I will look for a long from a deviation below the range low. If that setup does not give me confirmations either, then I am happy to sit on my hands and wait for price to reach the 3D Order Block.
As for shorts, I am watching the 1H FVG to see if it gives another clean rejection. If nothing develops there, I will shift my focus to the Range High or the 1D Internal Supply Range and look for short opportunities from those levels instead.
That is my game plan for today. Now I want to hear yours. Do you think the Bulls can fight their way back into the range, or are the Bears getting ready for another leg lower? Drop your thoughts in the comments. I always enjoy hearing how everyone is reading the market.
As always, trade safe, manage your risk, stay patient, and wait for your levels and confirmations.
