Make XAUUSD Great Again! March 20-24 Trading Plan

Updated
XAUUSD has broken out of the downtrend after the 1260 rejection and with hourly timeframe moving averages confirming the trend change. Bulls are still in the game and it looks like it will have another try against the Wall of Trump resistance.

No big positions as of yet as I expected a pullback that didn't materialize and it consolidated for 2 days straight after the FOMC breakout.

4H Timeframe View:

XAUUSD is sitting just right above the 200MA and its looking to be a firm support for the next upmove

1H Timeframe View:

snapshot

XAUUSD is forming higher lows after the FOMC breakout which suggests buyer strength. The 1230 level/20DMA is still acting as a resistance but as long as the current momentum continues it will be great to take a long position if there will be a short pullback to the 1206-1207 level and if the said level holds.

Preferred Entry: 1226-1227.5
Stop: 1223
Profit 1260

Just in case the level doesn't hold, we can look for a pullback till the 1219-1220 and take a long position if it holds.

Preferred Entry: 1219-1220
Stop: 1216
Profit 1260

Any feedbacks are appreciated!

As long as the 1H yellow line(50MA) and 4H red line(20MA) holds then the rectangle will be either an ideal long entry point but if it breaks and holds below the supports then it would be a great short entry area as well
