Strong Bullish Reaction After FOMC, Buy Retest Remains Priority
Gold is trading around $4,320 after a strong bullish reaction following the FOMC move. Price swept the weekly low near $4,219, then recovered sharply and reclaimed short-term structure.
From an SMC perspective, the market has already shown CHoCH and strong bullish displacement. The current pullback into $4,311–$4,320 is important because this area aligns with the FVG and retest liquidity zone. As long as gold holds above this zone, the bullish continuation scenario remains active.
The next upside liquidity sits around the week high at $4,383, followed by the trendline area near $4,421. If buyers continue to defend the retest zone, gold can extend toward the main OB sell zone at $4,466–$4,471.
Buy setup 1
Condition:
Gold holds the $4,311–$4,320 retest liquidity zone and prints bullish rejection with lower-timeframe MSS / CHOCH.
Entry: $4,311–$4,320
SL: below $4,290
TP1: $4,383
TP2: $4,421
TP3: $4,466–$4,471
Buy setup 2
Condition:
If gold breaks and holds above the week high at $4,383, wait for a retest before looking for continuation.
Entry: $4,380–$4,390 after breakout retest
SL: below $4,350
TP1: $4,421
TP2: $4,450
TP3: $4,466–$4,471
Sell setup
Condition:
Selling is not the priority right now. A sell setup is only valid if gold reaches the $4,466–$4,471 OB sell zone and shows clear rejection with bearish MSS / CHOCH.
Entry: $4,466–$4,471 after rejection
SL: above $4,490
TP1: $4,421
TP2: $4,383
TP3: $4,320
Key levels
Current price area: $4,320
Buy retest liquidity: $4,311–$4,320
Week low: $4,219
Week high: $4,383
Trendline target: $4,421
Main OB sell zone: $4,466–$4,471
Bullish invalidation: clean 1H close below $4,290
My current view is bullish after the FOMC reaction while gold holds above the $4,311–$4,320 retest zone. The best Prime Gold plan is to wait for price to confirm support at liquidity, then follow the next upside move toward the upper OB zone.
No confirmation, no trade.
