XAUUSD — Demand Retest Buy Setup

48
Gold is trading around $4,119 after breaking above the descending trendline and expanding strongly from the structural low near $3,960. The impulsive move confirms that buyers are controlling the short-term structure.

Price is currently extended after reaching the projected wave (3) area. The preferred opportunity is a controlled pullback into the Immediate Demand zone at $4,040.690–$4,059.126 before the next potential bullish expansion.

SMC View

The trendline breakout and strong displacement indicate a clear structural shift from correction into bullish continuation. The Immediate Demand zone represents the origin of the latest impulsive move and remains the main decision area for buyers.

Entering near the current price would mean chasing an extended move. A retracement into demand, followed by bullish rejection and a lower-timeframe MSS or CHOCH, would provide stronger confirmation that buyers remain in control.

Main Trading Scenario

Condition:

Gold pulls back into the $4,040.690–$4,059.126 Immediate Demand zone and forms a clear bullish rejection. A lower-timeframe bullish MSS or CHOCH is required before entry.

TP2: $4,168–$4,177
TP3: $4,193–$4,202

Key Zones to Watch

Prime Gold View

The buy bias remains valid while Gold protects the $4,040.690–$4,059.126 Immediate Demand zone. The preferred plan is to wait for a confirmed pullback rather than chase the current expansion.

If buyers defend demand, price could continue toward the HTF Supply and potentially the Major Supply above. Acceptance below $4,040.690 would weaken the bullish setup.

No confirmation, no trade.
