BRIAN XAUUSD - GOLD TESTING LOWER BUY ZONE

BRIAN XAUUSD – GOLD TESTING LOWER POC BUY ZONE

Gold is still trading inside a short-term bearish structure, but price is now reaching the lower Volume Profile area where a corrective buy reaction can appear.

After the recent decline, XAUUSD is no longer in a clean sell-at-market position. Price is sitting near the Buy DCA area around 4,000 and approaching the Buy zone POC at 3,982 - 3,975. This is the main area where buyers may try to defend the next reaction.

Technical structure

On the H1 chart, gold has been moving lower from the upper value zones, but the current price is now trading close to a high-volume support base.

The Buy zone POC at 3,982 - 3,975 is the key level I am watching. This is not a random support zone. It is the lower value area where price may attract buy reaction after the recent sell-off.

If buyers defend this POC zone, gold can build a corrective rebound towards the Sell scalping VAH around 4,035 - 4,040. A stronger recovery can extend towards the next POC zone around 4,090, but only if price accepts above the first resistance.

Important zones

Buy zone POC: 3,982 - 3,975
Main Volume Profile support and preferred buy area.

Buy DCA: 4,000 - 4,001
Current reaction area before price reaches the lower POC.

Sell scalping VAH: 4,035 - 4,040
First resistance and short-term take-profit zone.

POC resistance: 4,090 - 4,095
Higher value resistance if the rebound expands.

High liquidity zone: 4,118 - 4,125
Major resistance inside the medium-term downtrend.

Trading scenario

Buy reaction from Buy zone POC 3,982 - 3,975

Entry:
Look for buy positions only if price pulls back into 3,982 - 3,975 and shows clear bullish rejection.

Stop Loss:
Below the Buy zone POC or below the local sweep low.

Take Profit:
TP1: 4,000
TP2: 4,035 - 4,040
TP3: 4,090 if bullish momentum expands

This setup is based on the lower Volume Profile support, where buyers may defend price after a strong decline.

Final view

Gold is still under medium-term bearish pressure, but the current location is not ideal for chasing sell.

The better plan is to wait for price to test the Buy zone POC at 3,982 - 3,975 and watch for buy confirmation. If this zone holds, gold can build a corrective rebound towards 4,035 and possibly 4,090.

This is a correction trade, not a full trend reversal.

Trade the retest. Respect the volume zone.

snapshot
Gold is currently correcting below the Selling scalping VAH 4,035 – 4,040 zone. If the price retraces to 4,000 and maintains buying pressure, there is still a possibility of a rebound. However, failure at the higher zone could lead to further price decline.
