BRIAN XAUUSD – GOLD CONTINUES SHARP H1 SELLING

191
Gold is trading under strong bearish pressure after a heavy one-day decline. The H1 chart shows a clear breakdown structure, with price losing multiple support zones and continuing to accept lower levels.

From a macro view, gold remains pressured by firm USD demand and cautious market sentiment. However, the chart is giving the clearest message now: sellers are still controlling the short-term structure, and rebounds remain vulnerable unless price can reclaim broken value.

Technical structure

On the H1 chart, gold broke below the previous support around 4,275 and continued lower after sweeping the liquidity area near 4,256.

Price is now trading around 4,180 - 4,190, far below the active POC area near 4,327. This shows that the market has shifted away from the previous value zone and is expanding into lower liquidity.

The main resistance is now 4,256 first, followed by the stronger POC retest zone around 4,320 - 4,330. As long as gold stays below these zones, the bearish structure remains active.

The next major downside area is the H4 support zone around 4,100 - 4,105, where a technical buy reaction may appear.

Key levels

POC retest zone: 4,320 - 4,330
Main sell-retest resistance.

Liquidity zone: 4,250 - 4,260
Broken intraday support, now near resistance.

Current pressure area: 4,180 - 4,190
Price is still trading below value.

H4 support zone: 4,100 - 4,105
Main reaction area if the decline continues.

Trading scenarios

Scenario 1: Sell the retest into 4,250 - 4,260

This is the first sell setup if gold makes a short-term rebound.

Entry:
Look for short positions only if price retests 4,250 - 4,260 and shows rejection.

Stop Loss:
Above the rejection high.

Take Profit:
TP1: 4,180
TP2: 4,130
TP3: 4,100 - 4,105

Scenario 2: Sell deeper pullback into POC

If gold rebounds stronger, the cleaner sell zone is 4,320 - 4,330.

Entry:
Wait for price to test the POC zone and fail to reclaim value.

Stop Loss:
Above 4,350 or above the local rejection structure.

Take Profit:
TP1: 4,256
TP2: 4,180
TP3: 4,100

Scenario 3: Buy reaction from H4 support

This is only a reaction trade, not a reversal.

Entry:
Consider longs only if price reaches 4,100 - 4,105 and shows a strong bullish reaction.

Stop Loss:
Below the H4 support zone.

Take Profit:
TP1: 4,180
TP2: 4,250

Final view

The H1 bias remains bearish after gold broke support and accepted lower prices.

The priority is still selling confirmed retests, especially around 4,250 - 4,260 or 4,320 - 4,330.

Buying should only be considered if price reaches the H4 support zone near 4,100 and shows clear reaction.

Confirmation first. Prediction second.
Trade active
snapshot
The latest gold trend is still strongly bearish on H1.

Price has broken several support zones and is now testing the H4 support area around 4,100 - 4,105, close to the buy-scalping zone at 4,059 - 4,060.

This is not a confirmed reversal yet. It is only a potential technical rebound zone after a sharp decline.

Key view:

Near resistance: 4,100 - 4,105
Buy scalping: 4,059 - 4,060
Sell zone liquidity: 4,256
POC sell retest: 4,327

If gold holds 4,059 - 4,105, a short-term rebound is possible. But the main trend remains bearish, so I still prefer selling from resistance after a confirmed pullback.
