XAUUSD — Is This Bounce Real or Just a Retest?Gold is trying to breathe after the sharp bearish move, but the structure is still not fully bullish again.
Price is holding around 4,330 - 4,340, right under the downtrend pressure.

If gold stays above this area, price may try to recover toward 4
NIFTY — FII Positioning Turns Bearish, Short Setup on OI DataOverview
Nifty closed at 24,154.90, down 0.55%, continuing its pullback from the 24,601–24,989 resistance zone. Along with the price action, today's Open Interest (OI) data shows big traders leaning bearish, which is what this setup is based on.
OI Analysis (In Simple Words)
