GOLD - A false breakout of resistance within a bearish trendICMARKETS:XAUUSD has broken out of its short-term descending channel within the current distribution phase and is now testing the 4134 liquidity zone while printing fresh intermediate highs. Despite the technical recovery, the broader fundamental backdrop remains weak
Gold remains caught between geopolitical support and pressure from hawkish Federal Reserve expectations and elevated real yields. Analysts note that a sustainable recovery would likely require lower oil prices, declining bond yields, and softer expectations for further monetary tightening. Until then, the upside potential is expected to remain limited.
At the moment, oil prices continue to rise, while the U.S. dollar has strengthened for a fifth consecutive session, maintaining its broader bullish trend.
Bullish drivers: Geopolitical de-escalation, Falling oil prices, A weaker U.S. dollar, Softer expectations for Fed rate hikes
Bearish drivers: Escalation of geopolitical tensions, Rising oil prices, Hawkish Fed rhetoric, Continued U.S. dollar strength
Resistance levels: 4124, 4134, 4195
Support levels: 4103, 4067, 4028
Technically, the market is testing a key liquidity pool within the current distribution phase and may be forming a short squeeze. If bears manage to keep price below the 4124โ4134 resistance zone, it could trigger another leg lower in line with the broader daily bearish trend

XAUUSD: ABC Pullback May Prepare the Next Bullish Wave
Gold is still holding a constructive bullish structure after the strong recovery from the lower base. From Kellyโs view, the market has already created an impulsive move higher, and the current pullback may simply be an ABC correction before price attempts another upside continuation.
The key idea is simple: gold may correct first, but the bullish structure remains active while price holds above the trendline and the main buy zone.
โก Market structure
The chart shows gold recovering strongly from the 3,960 area, then building higher lows along the rising trendline. Price pushed into the 4,130โ4,140 region before slowing down, which is normal after a strong bullish leg.
Gold is now trading around 4,118, close to the short-term support area. The first reaction zone sits around 4,100โ4,105, where a small buy scalping setup may appear.
The more important zone is the 4,068โ4,075 area. This is marked as the possible end of the ABC correction. If buyers defend this zone, gold may start a new upward wave towards the upper trendline and the 4,150โ4,160 target area.
โค Key levels
โ 4,100โ4,105: buy scalping zone and short-term reaction area
โ 4,068โ4,075: main buy zone and possible ABC completion
โ 4,118โ4,123: current price reaction area
โ 4,130โ4,140: nearest resistance zone
โ 4,150โ4,160: upside target and trendline target area
โ Below 4,068: area where the bullish setup starts to weaken
โ Elliott Wave view
From an Elliott Wave perspective, gold appears to have completed a short bullish wave sequence from the lower base. After that, the current movement may be forming an ABC correction.
Wave A is the first pullback from the recent high.
Wave B may form a small rebound around the 4,100 zone.
Wave C may complete around 4,068โ4,075 if price continues to correct deeper.
If wave C ends inside this buy zone and a bullish confirmation candle appears, gold may begin the next continuation phase. The next target would be 4,130โ4,140 first, then 4,150โ4,160 if momentum expands.
โธ Trading scenario
Preferred scenario: wait for gold to complete the ABC correction around the buy zone before looking for continuation.
Entry zone: 4,068โ4,075 if bullish confirmation appears
Scalping entry zone: 4,100โ4,105 only if price reacts strongly
Stop loss: below the confirmed wave C low or below 4,060
Take profit 1: 4,130โ4,140
Take profit 2: 4,150โ4,160
Take profit 3: higher trendline area if bullish momentum continues
Alternative scenario: if gold breaks below 4,068 with strong bearish pressure, the ABC bullish setup weakens. In that case, price may need to form a deeper base before the next recovery becomes reliable.
โ Kellyโs view
For Kelly, this is a bullish continuation structure, but the market needs a healthy correction before the next strong move. Buying directly after a strong push is not the cleanest plan.
The better setup is to wait for gold to pull back into support, then watch whether buyers defend the ABC completion zone.
Gold is correcting inside a bullish structure.
If the buy zone holds, the next upside wave may continue towards 4,150โ4,160.

XAUUSD: Bullish Wave 5 May Start After Pullback
Gold is showing a clear recovery structure after completing the previous bearish cycle near the lower area. From Kellyโs view, the chart is now shifting into a bullish Elliott sequence, but price may still need one corrective pullback before wave 5 continues higher.
The key idea is simple: gold is bullish in the short term, but the better setup may come from a clean retest of the buy zone, not from chasing the current push.
โก Market structure
The chart shows gold has reacted strongly from the lower base near 3,960 and created a sequence of higher lows. Price has already broken back above the descending pressure line, which is an important sign that sellers are losing control in the short-term structure.
Gold is now trading around 4,075 after a strong recovery move. However, price is approaching the 4,090โ4,100 sell wave 4 zone, so a short correction from this area would be normal.
The main support to watch is the 4,040โ4,050 buy zone wave 5. If gold pulls back into this area and buyers defend it, the next upside leg may continue towards the Fibonacci 2.618 target near 4,145โ4,155.
โค Key levels
โ 4,040โ4,050: buy zone wave 5 and key pullback area
โ 4,075: current price reaction area
โ 4,090โ4,100: sell wave 4 / short-term resistance
โ 4,138: previous Fibonacci reference zone
โ 4,145โ4,155: final wave 5 completion area
โ Below 4,030: area where the bullish setup starts to weaken
โ Below 4,000: area where the wave count needs reassessment
โ Elliott Wave view
From an Elliott Wave perspective, gold appears to be building a bullish 5-wave recovery after the previous bearish structure ended.
Wave 1 created the first upside reaction from the low.
Wave 2 corrected back but held above the base.
Wave 3 expanded strongly and pushed gold back above the broken trendline.
Wave 4 may now form as a controlled pullback into the 4,040โ4,050 buy zone.
If that zone holds, wave 5 may begin and aim for the 4,145โ4,155 completion area.
This is why Kelly would not chase the current price directly into resistance. The stronger setup is to wait for wave 4 to finish, then look for confirmation that wave 5 is starting.
โธ Trading scenario
Preferred scenario: wait for gold to pull back into the buy zone wave 5 and show bullish confirmation.
Entry zone: 4,040โ4,050 if bullish confirmation appears
Stop loss: below the confirmed wave 4 low or below 4,030
Take profit 1: 4,090โ4,100
Take profit 2: 4,138
Take profit 3: 4,145โ4,155
Alternative scenario: if gold breaks above 4,100 without a pullback and holds strongly, price may continue directly towards the wave 5 target. In that case, a retest of 4,090โ4,100 as support would become the cleaner continuation setup.
โ Kellyโs view
For Kelly, the bullish recovery structure is improving, but the market is now close to a short-term resistance zone. That means the best plan is patience.
If gold corrects into 4,040โ4,050 and buyers defend the zone, the next wave 5 move may continue towards the higher Fibonacci target.
Gold is building a bullish Elliott structure.
A controlled pullback may prepare the next move higher.

XAUUSD โ Bullish Retest AheadGold remains sensitive to the US dollar, Treasury yields and interest-rate expectations. Softer yields or renewed USD weakness could support the bullish structure, while stronger US data may trigger a temporary correction.
Technical View
On the H2 chart, XAUUSD has broken above the descending trendline and confirmed a bullish CHOCH around 4,080. The strong displacement toward 4,130โ4,140 shows that buyers currently control the short-term structure.
However, RSI is trading near 70, suggesting that price may be temporarily extended. I would prefer to see a controlled retracement before considering further bullish continuation.
Key Levels
Immediate resistance: 4,135โ4,145
Primary demand: 4,040โ4,055
Deeper support: 4,018โ4,030
Higher liquidity: 4,190โ4,200
Trading Scenario
My bias remains bullish while price holds above the broken trendline and the 4,018โ4,055 demand area.
A pullback into 4,040โ4,055, followed by bullish confirmation, could support another expansion toward 4,190โ4,200. A deeper retracement into 4,018โ4,030 may still preserve the bullish structure, but a decisive break below this region would weaken the scenario.
Overall View
The trendline breakout and bullish CHOCH support further upside, but the overbought RSI suggests patience may be needed before the next expansion.
Do you expect XAUUSD to retest demand first or continue directly toward 4,200? Long 
XAUUSD 1H | Bearish Market Structure & Order Block AnalysisXAUUSD continues to respect the overall bearish market structure on the 1-hour timeframe, with price trading below a descending trendline while consistently creating lower highs. The recent recovery appears to be a corrective move into an area where multiple technical factors align, making this a key decision zone for the next directional move.
The first Order Block (OB) is located around 4035โ4042, where previous selling pressure originated. Above that, the major Order Block is positioned near 4060โ4068, which also aligns closely with the Previous Day High (PDH). These zones may act as potential resistance if price continues to retrace.
The immediate support level is around 4002.70, which is currently acting as short-term structure support. Below this, the next important liquidity level is the Previous Day Low (PDL) near 3959.10, marked as the primary downside objective if sellers regain control. The Strong High around 4100 represents the major invalidation area for the current bearish structure.
From a market structure perspective, previous Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) formations continue to favor sellers. As long as price remains below the descending trendline and fails to establish acceptance above the highlighted order blocks, the bearish bias remains valid. A rejection from either supply zone with bearish confirmation would strengthen the probability of another move toward lower liquidity.
The projected path on this chart illustrates one possible technical scenario based on the current structure. It is intended to demonstrate a potential market reaction rather than predict future price movement. Traders should always wait for confirmation through price action before making any trading decisions.
Key Technical Levels
Major Resistance: 4100 (Strong High)
Order Block 1: 4060โ4068
Order Block 2: 4035โ4042
PDH: Around 4020
Immediate Support: 4002.70
PDL / Main Downside Liquidity: 3959.10

BITCOIN - A distribution toward 67K before a decline?BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P has transitioned from consolidation into a distribution phase following the breakout above resistance and is now advancing toward a key resistance zone within the broader bearish trend
The fundamental backdrop remains relatively weak for the cryptocurrency market. However, spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded inflows for five consecutive trading sessions, providing short-term support for the current rally.
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has broken above the 65,600 resistance level, and the momentum built during consolidation could drive price toward the 67,250 resistance zone. Nevertheless, given the prevailing higher-timeframe bearish trend, this area may act as a significant barrier and halt the advance
Resistance levels: 67,250
Support levels: 65,600, 63,800, 61,800
The broader market trend remains bearish. Price is approaching the key 67,250 resistance zone, where a short squeeze could shift momentum back in favor of sellers. If bears regain control at this level, Bitcoin could reverse and resume its primary downtrend toward 65,600, 63,800, and 61,800

ETHUSDT - The Battle for a Key Support Zone BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P is showing local bullish momentum and appears stronger than Bitcoin in the current market environment. Price action is focused on the 1800โ1850 zone, where buyers and sellers are competing for control
Bitcoin remains in consolidation between 61,000 and 65,000, while the broader market trend is still bearish. The lack of both fundamental and technical support continues to weigh on the crypto market as a whole.
From a technical perspective, Ethereum has broken above resistance, confirming a short-term bullish structure. During the ongoing correction, price is respecting the local trendline while testing the 1808โ1848 area of interest
Resistance levels: 1848, 1946, 1966

GOLD - A short squeeze before the decline continues toward 3900ICMARKETS:XAUUSD is hovering around the $4,000 mark on Monday, caught between bullish and bearish pressure as markets digest the ongoing escalation of tensions between the U.S. and Iran, while this week's U.S. economic calendar remains relatively light
The U.S. dollar remains in consolidation, although the Dollar Index (DXY) continues to maintain its broader bullish trend. Gold remains under pressure, and the daily technical outlook continues to favor the bears, limiting the potential for a sustained recovery. At this stage, there are few signs that this scenario will change in the near term.
Bearish drivers: Escalation of the U.S.โIran conflict, supporting both the U.S. dollar and oil prices, Hawkish Federal Reserve rhetoric, Bearish technical market structure
Bullish drivers: Geopolitical de-escalation, Weaker-than-expected U.S. macroeconomic data, Profit-taking after recent declines
Resistance levels: 4028, 4043, 4065
Support levels: 3960, 3943, 3900
Gold remains under selling pressure due to a combination of technical and fundamental factors. The broader trend is still bearish. Technically, the market is confirming resistance around 4028.6, and a short squeeze into the 4028.6โ4065 liquidity zone remains possible before the broader downtrend resumes toward 3940โ3900

XAUUSD โ Sell the 4,020โ4,030 Retest
Fundamental Analysis
Gold remains sensitive to USD momentum, Treasury yields, and shifts in Fed rate expectations. Softer U.S. data could support a short-term recovery, but renewed dollar strength may keep the broader pressure tilted to the downside.
Technical Analysis
On the 1H chart, XAUUSD is trading near 4,004.55 below the marked 4,020โ4,030 resistance zone. This area previously acted as support and may now become a sell zone after the breakdown. If price recovers into this region and fails to reclaim it, bearish continuation could target the strong support at 3,982.80 before extending toward the descending trendline near 3,925โ3,930.
Important Key Levels
Current price: 4,004.55
Main sell zone: 4,020โ4,030
Short-term support: 3,982.80
Short-term resistance: 4,020โ4,030
Liquidity area: 4,090โ4,108
Main target: 3,925โ3,930
Invalidation: above 4,044.50
Trading Scenario
Main Sell Setup
Entry: 4,020โ4,030
Stop Loss: 4,044.50
Take Profit 1: 3,982.80
Take Profit 2: 3,960
Take Profit 3: 3,925.80
Sell Condition
Wait for price to retest the 4,020โ4,030 zone and show bearish rejection. A long upper wick, bearish engulfing candle, failed reclaim, or 1H close back below the zone may confirm seller pressure. If price breaks and holds above 4,044.50, the sell setup is no longer valid.
Overall View
The main bias remains bearish while XAUUSD stays below the former support zone and continues to respect the broader descending structure. The preferred plan is to wait for a recovery into 4,020โ4,030 rather than chase price near current levels, with 3,982.80 as the first reaction area and 3,925.80 as the main downside target.
Do you also see 4,020โ4,030 as the key sell zone, or are you waiting for a deeper liquidity sweep first? Short 
GTYR โ Spring After a Seven-Year Winter: Long-Term Accumulation Ghandhara Tyre and Rubber Company Limited has spent approximately seven years declining from its previous major cycle peak. The prolonged downtrend has now been broken, while price continues to stabilize inside a broad three-year accumulation structure.
Significant fundamental catalyst
On July 15, 2026, GTYR announced that it had obtained certification from the United States Department of Transportation, confirming compliance with applicable US vehicle-safety standards and enabling the company to export tyres to the United States. This development may support export diversification and access to a substantially larger international market.
Technical Structure
The weekly chart shows three important developments:
โข The seven-year descending trendline has been broken.
โข Price has repeatedly attracted demand within the approximately PKR 20โ35 buying zone.
โข A multi-year accumulation range is developing below the PKR 55โ60 resistance area.
The recent recovery may represent the early stage of a structural transition from long-term accumulation into a potential markup phase.
Bullish Confirmation
The bullish thesis would gain strength if GTYR:
โข Produces a sustained weekly close above PKR 55โ60
โข Retests the breakout area successfully as support
โข Develops a sequence of higher highs and higher lows
โข Breaks resistance with expanding volume
A confirmed breakout could initially expose PKR 75โ90, followed by PKR 115โ125. Under a full long-term re-rating scenario, the previous cycle-high region around PKR 165โ175 could eventually become relevant.
Risk and Invalidation
The projected 400% upside represents a long-term potential scenario, not an immediate or guaranteed target.
Failure to break the accumulation ceiling may keep GTYR range-bound. The setup would weaken if price loses the PKR 25โ30 area on a sustained weekly closing basis, while a decisive breakdown below the long-term buying zone would invalidate the present accumulation thesis.
Conclusion
After a seven-year structural decline and nearly three years of base-building, GTYR may be entering an important transition period. The break of the long-term downtrend, combined with the new US export certification, creates a constructive long-term narrative.
However, confirmation still requires a decisive breakout and successful retest of the accumulation range. Until then, this remains a developing bullish thesis rather than a confirmed expansion.

Gold is still trading inside a broader bearish structure, and the weekly outlook continues to favour downside continuation. From Kellyโs view, the latest recovery looks more like a corrective rebound into resistance, while the main Elliott structure still suggests that wave 5 may extend lower.
The key idea is simple: as long as gold remains below the descending trendline and the sell wave B zone, the bearish weekly scenario stays active.
โก Market structure
The chart shows gold has been respecting a clear descending trendline, with repeated lower highs forming across the structure. Each recovery attempt has been capped under resistance, showing that buyers still lack strong control.
Price recently tested the lower support around 3,955โ3,970 and bounced slightly, but the rebound is still weak. The nearest sell area is around 4,017โ4,025, where the chart marks the sell wave B zone.
If gold retests this zone and fails to break above it, sellers may continue pushing price lower towards the final Elliott wave target near 3,845โ3,855.
โค Key levels
โ 3,955โ3,970: recent low and done test area
โ 4,017โ4,025: sell wave B zone and short-term resistance
โ 4,050โ4,075: higher resistance if the rebound expands
โ 3,845โ3,855: final wave 5 target area
โ Above 4,075: area where the bearish weekly setup starts to weaken
โ Elliott Wave view
From an Elliott Wave perspective, gold appears to be developing the final bearish phase of a larger 5-wave decline.
Wave 1 started from the upper structure.
Wave 2 formed a corrective rebound but failed below trendline resistance.
Wave 3 pushed price lower with stronger bearish pressure.
Wave 4 may now be forming as a small recovery into the sell wave B zone.
If this resistance holds, wave 5 may continue lower towards the 1.618 Fibonacci extension area near 3,845โ3,855.
This is why Kelly would not treat the current bounce as a full reversal yet. The market is still below the descending trendline, and the structure continues to favour sell reactions from resistance.
โธ Trading scenario
Preferred scenario: wait for gold to retest the 4,017โ4,025 sell zone and show bearish confirmation.
Sell zone: 4,017โ4,025 if rejection appears
Stop loss: above the confirmed rejection high or above 4,075
Take profit 1: 3,955โ3,970
Take profit 2: 3,900
Take profit 3: 3,845โ3,855
Alternative scenario: if gold breaks above 4,075 and holds with strong acceptance, the bearish wave 5 setup weakens. In that case, the market may shift into a larger corrective recovery before the next weekly direction becomes clear.
โ Kellyโs view
For Kelly, the weekly structure still favours selling the rebound. Gold has reacted from support, but the bounce remains corrective while price stays below the sell wave B zone and the descending trendline.
The cleaner plan is not to chase the low. Wait for price to retest resistance, then watch whether sellers defend the structure.
Gold may still have one more bearish leg ahead.
If the sell zone holds, the final wave 5 target remains open for next week.

XAUUSD โ OB Reaction, Trendline Break Can Confirm Recovery
Gold is trading around $4,017 after reacting strongly from the lower OB and buy zone liquidity around $3,985โ$3,992. This is an important area on the medium-term structure because price has already tested the lower reaction zone several times, and sellers failed to create a clean continuation below it.
From an SMC perspective, gold is still moving inside a broad corrective structure, but the reaction from the lower OB shows that buyers are starting to defend the discount area. The key point now is the descending trendline. If gold can stay above this trendline and build acceptance above the current range, the recovery structure can become stronger.
The current market is not a place to chase. The clean plan is to wait for price to respect the $3,985โ$3,992 buy zone or confirm strength above the trendline. If buyers continue to defend this area, gold may recover toward the VL zone first, then the upper OB area around $4,100โ$4,125.
Buy setup 1
Condition:
Gold holds the buy zone liquidity around $3,985โ$3,992 and forms bullish rejection with lower timeframe MSS / CHOCH.
Entry: $3,985โ$3,992
SL: below $3,950
TP1: $4,030
TP2: $4,060
TP3: $4,100โ$4,125
TP4: $4,175
Buy setup 2
Condition:
If gold breaks above the descending trendline and retests it as support, bullish recovery becomes stronger.
Entry: above $4,030โ$4,040 after breakout retest
SL: below $3,985
TP1: $4,060
TP2: $4,100โ$4,125
TP3: $4,175
TP4: $4,220
Buy setup 3
Condition:
If gold sweeps below $3,985 but quickly reclaims the buy zone, this can create a stronger liquidity-trap buy setup.
Entry: after reclaim above $3,985โ$3,992
SL: below the sweep low
TP1: $4,030
TP2: $4,060
TP3: $4,100โ$4,125
Sell setup
Condition:
Selling is not the main priority while price is reacting from the lower OB. A sell setup is only valid if gold fails to hold above $3,985โ$3,992 and breaks the lower structure clearly.
Entry: below $3,950 after breakdown retest
SL: above $3,985
TP1: $3,920
TP2: $3,880
TP3: $3,830โ$3,850
Sell scalping setup
Condition:
If gold reaches the upper OB around $4,100โ$4,125 and shows clear bearish rejection, a short-term sell scalp may appear.
Entry: $4,100โ$4,125 after rejection
SL: above $4,150
TP1: $4,060
TP2: $4,030
TP3: $3,985โ$3,992
Key levels
Current price area: $4,017
Buy zone liquidity: $3,985โ$3,992
Strong reaction OB: $3,950โ$3,970
Trendline confirmation area: $4,030โ$4,040
Short-term resistance: $4,060
VL reaction zone: $4,090โ$4,105
Upper OB target zone: $4,100โ$4,125
Bullish continuation confirmation: clean hold above the descending trendline
Stronger bullish confirmation: clean break above $4,125
Bearish continuation confirmation: clean break below $3,950
Bearish target zone if structure fails: $3,830โ$3,850
My current view is that gold is reacting from a medium-term OB support area, and the recovery can become stronger if price holds above the descending trendline. The Prime Gold plan is to avoid selling directly into the lower OB and wait for confirmation around $3,985โ$3,992 or a clean breakout above the trendline. If buyers defend this structure, gold can continue toward $4,060, $4,100โ$4,125 and potentially higher liquidity.
No confirmation, no trade.

MASON XAUUSD โ Medium-Term Recovery Setup
Gold is trading around 4,017 after reacting near the lower part of the descending channel. The main medium-term idea for next week is a bullish correction, but confirmation is still needed because price remains inside the larger bearish channel.
Technical View
On the H4 chart, gold is still moving inside a wide descending channel, but price is now reacting from the lower channel area and liquidity zone. This suggests sellers may start losing momentum in the short term.
The recent structure also shows a possible recovery base after price swept liquidity around 3,950โ4,000. If gold can hold above this area and reclaim the 4,100โ4,120 zone, the bullish correction scenario becomes stronger.
The first important upside level is 4,203, marked as strong liquidity. A clean break above this zone could open the way toward the higher resistance area around 4,350โ4,380, where the chart shows the next major supply zone.
Key Zones
Current price: 4,017
Main liquidity support: 3,950โ4,000
Key buy/reclaim zone: 4,100โ4,120
Strong liquidity target: 4,203
Major resistance: 4,350โ4,380
Invalidation: below 3,950
Trading Plan
Priority Buy Scenario โ Medium-Term Correction
Entry zone: 4,100โ4,120 after reclaim and retest
Confirmation: H4 candle holds above the zone with bullish price action
Stop loss: below 3,950
Take profit 1: 4,203
Take profit 2: 4,350
Take profit 3: 4,380
Alternative Scenario
If gold drops once more into 3,950โ4,000 and shows a clear rejection, this area can become a lower buy reaction zone. The first target would be 4,100โ4,120, then 4,203 if momentum improves.
Sell View
Selling is not the priority for this plan. A sell view only becomes stronger if gold loses 3,950 and fails to recover back above the liquidity zone.
Final View
The main view for next week is a bullish correction from the lower channel area. Gold needs to reclaim 4,100โ4,120 first, then 4,203 becomes the key level to watch for stronger upside continuation. No confirmation means no trade. Long 
XAUUSD โ Bearish Continuation Toward Fibonacci Target
XAUUSD is trading around 3,990 after failing to recover above the short-term downtrend structure. Price remains below the previous support area, and the current reaction still looks like a weak correction inside the bearish trend.
The priority view remains sell with the trend, especially if gold retests the 4,020โ4,040 reaction zone and fails to break above the psychological sell order area.
Technical View
Gold is still moving under bearish pressure after the strong breakdown from the previous consolidation zone. The market failed to hold above the old support, and price is now trading below the short-term downtrend trendline.
The 4,020 area is the first reaction zone to watch. This level was marked on the chart as an important area for price reaction. If gold pulls back into this zone and shows rejection, it may confirm that buyers are still weak.
The 4,035โ4,040 area is the main psychological sell order zone. This zone is important because it aligns with the Fibonacci reaction area and the previous breakdown structure. If price reaches this area and fails to continue higher, it may confirm another lower high before the next bearish leg.
The 3,969 support is the nearest downside level. If gold breaks below this area, the bearish structure may continue toward the Fibonacci 1.618 target around 3,945โ3,950.
The main idea is simple: as long as gold stays below 4,020โ4,040, the market remains under selling pressure, and recovery attempts should be treated as corrective.
Key Zones
Current price: 3,990
Price reaction zone: 4,020โ4,025
Psychological sell order zone: 4,035โ4,040
Downtrend resistance: 4,000โ4,020
Nearest support: 3,969
Fibonacci 1.618 target: 3,945โ3,950
Invalidation: above 4,045
Trading Plan
Sell Priority: 4,020โ4,040
Condition: wait for bearish rejection, failed recovery above the downtrend trendline, or price staying below the psychological sell order zone.
SL: above 4,045
TP1: 3,969
TP2: 3,945โ3,950
TP3: 3,920โ3,930
Alternative Scenario
If gold breaks below 3,969 directly, wait for a retest of this level as resistance before looking for sell continuation toward the Fibonacci 1.618 target around 3,945โ3,950.
Buy View
Buy is not the priority while price remains below the downtrend trendline and below the 4,020โ4,040 resistance area. A short-term buy reaction may appear near 3,945โ3,950, but it needs clear bullish confirmation first.
Final View
Overall, gold remains in a bearish continuation structure. The cleaner plan is to wait for price to retest the 4,020โ4,040 sell zone and watch for rejection. As long as this area holds as resistance, the downside path toward 3,969 and the Fibonacci target around 3,945 remains in focus.
Will gold reject from the psychological sell zone first, or break below 3,969 directly toward the Fibonacci target?

EURUSD โ Bullish Channel Retest Setup
Fundamental Analysis
EURUSD is still reacting to USD momentum and upcoming macro data. For now, the short-term structure remains positive while price continues to respect the rising channel.
Technical Analysis
On the 2H chart, EURUSD is trading around 1.1437 and holding inside a clear bullish channel. The key buy zone is around 1.1415 - 1.1420, where the 0.382 Fibonacci area, FVG support, and lower channel reaction align. If price holds this value zone, buyers may push EURUSD back toward 1.1487, then the resistance and Fibonacci target around 1.1519 - 1.1526.
Important Key Levels
Current price: 1.1437
Main buy zone: 1.1415 - 1.1420
Short-term support: 1.1403
Liquidity area: 1.1487
FVG resistance: 1.1490 - 1.1510
Main target: 1.1519 - 1.1526

Trading Scenario
Main Buy Setup
Entry: 1.1415 - 1.1420
Stop Loss: 1.1403
Take Profit 1: 1.1487
Take Profit 2: 1.1510
Take Profit 3: 1.1519 - 1.1526
Buy Condition
Wait for EURUSD to retest the 1.1415 - 1.1420 buy zone and show bullish rejection. A clean hold above this area keeps the bullish channel valid. If price breaks above 1.1487, upside momentum may extend toward the Fibonacci resistance zone at 1.1519 - 1.1526. If price breaks and holds below 1.1403, the buy setup is invalid.
Overall View
EURUSD remains bullish while price stays inside the rising channel and holds above the 0.382 Fibonacci value zone. The preferred plan is to wait for confirmation around 1.1415 - 1.1420, then look for continuation toward 1.1487 and 1.1519 - 1.1526.
Do you share the same bullish view on EURUSD, or are you waiting for a cleaner retest of the buy zone first?
XAUUSD โ Strong Support Tested, Recovery SetupFundamental Analysis
Gold remains sensitive to USD momentum, Treasury yields, and upcoming U.S. macro data. For now, short-term price action shows a possible technical recovery as buyers continue to defend the same support zone.
Technical Analysis
On the 1H chart, XAUUSD is trading around 3,995 after testing the strong support area near 3,960 - 3,970 multiple times. This repeated reaction shows that sellers are losing some pressure at the low. The first buy zone is around 3,983 - 3,987. If price holds this zone, gold may correct higher toward the liquidity level at 4,017, then the sell FVG area around 4,050 - 4,055. A stronger recovery may target the VL zone around 4,095 - 4,105.
Important Key Levels
Current price: 3,995
Strong support: 3,960 - 3,970
Main buy zone: 3,983 - 3,987
Liquidity level: 4,017
Sell FVG zone: 4,050 - 4,055
Main recovery target: 4,095 - 4,105
Invalidation: below 3,960

Main Buy Setup
Entry: 3,983 - 3,987
Stop Loss: 3,960
Take Profit 1: 4,017
Take Profit 2: 4,050 - 4,055
Take Profit 3: 4,095 - 4,105
Buy Condition
Wait for gold to hold the 3,983 - 3,987 buy zone and show bullish rejection. A clean reaction above this zone keeps the recovery setup valid. If price breaks above 4,017, the corrective move may extend toward 4,050 - 4,055. If price breaks and holds below 3,960, the buy setup is invalid.
Overall View
XAUUSD is still under broader downtrend pressure, but the repeated test of strong support suggests a possible short-term correction. The preferred plan is to wait for confirmation around 3,983 - 3,987, then look for recovery toward 4,017, 4,055, and 4,095 - 4,105.
Do you think gold can recover from this strong support zone, or will sellers break it on the next test?

GOLD - The hunt for liquidity before the fall to 3900...FX:XAUUSD has completely unwound the bullish momentum generated by the recent news and has printed fresh local lows. The market remains in both a local and broader bearish trend, driven by persistent fundamental and geopolitical uncertainty
Gold continues to trade under pressure, with sellers firmly in control. The next key catalysts will be the U.S. Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations reports. The technical outlook remains bearish, with price making new local lows while still holding above the key 3960 support area. Before the broader decline resumes, the market may enter a liquidity sweep phase, with downside potential extending toward 3940โ3900.
Bearish drivers: Escalation of geopolitical tensions, Rising oil prices and a stronger U.S. dollar, Hawkish Federal Reserve rhetoric, Strong U.S. economic data
Bullish drivers: Geopolitical de-escalation, Weaker-than-expected consumer sentiment data, End-of-week profit-taking
Resistance levels: 4028, 4043, 4065
Support levels: 3960, 3943
The U.S. dollar remains in a strong bullish trend, reinforcing the bearish outlook for gold. Technically, the market is developing a breakout structure around the 3960โ3940 support zone. A sustained break and close below this area could trigger another leg lower.
However, before the next sell-off, a short squeeze toward the 4028โ4065 resistance zone remains possible. A false breakout of this area could attract fresh selling pressure and accelerate the broader downtrend

BITCOIN - A false breakout of resistance in a bear market BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P is forming a retest of the key 64,500 resistance level as part of a countertrend correction, trapping late buyers while the market remains in a liquidity sweep phase
The broader trend remains bearish. Unstable ETF flows, the lack of meaningful fundamental support, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty continue to weigh on the market.
Within the broader bear market, the market maker has swept liquidity above 64,500 before pushing price back into the trading range. Bitcoin remains in a 62,000โ65,000 consolidation zone, while the higher-timeframe trend continues to point lower. A short squeeze into the resistance area could trigger another sell-off toward the 60Kโ50K region
Resistance levels: 64,450, 64,700, 65,600
Support levels: 62,750, 61,300
A retest of the liquidity pool above 64,450 may attract renewed selling pressure. If bears successfully defend this key resistance zone, it would further confirm the prevailing bearish market structure and increase the probability of a decline toward 62,750 and 61,300
Best regards,
