# XAUUSD]Long Setup: Demand Zone Retest with Target at 3,326

175
1. Overall Context & Trend
Larger-frame bias is still bearish, as the 50-period EMA (red, ~3279) is below the 200-period EMA (blue, ~3299) and price has been making lower highs & lower lows into May 29.
The recent sharp drop carved out a demand zone between 3 249 – 3 258 (highlighted in light red), where buyers stepped back in.
2. The Play (Long Setup on a Pullback)
Initial Bounce
Price found support in that 3 249–3 258 zone and rallied up near the 50 EMA.
Retest is Key
We’re looking for a retest of that demand zone (or a brief dip below it) to get a better entry with tight risk.
Confirmation
A bullish rejection candle off the zone, or a break back above the 50 EMA, would be our trigger.
Target Zone
The supply/resistance area sits around 3 300 – 3 330, just above the 200 EMA.
The chart marks “confirm target point” around 3 326 — a logical place to take profit into that prior congestion zone.
3. Risk/Reward & Stops
Stop: Just below 3 249 (under the demand zone)
Entry: On bullish price action back above ~3 258 or on the rejection off that level
Target: 3 326
R:R will be roughly 1:3 (≈75 points upside vs. ≈25 points downside)
What to Watch
If price can’t hold above 3 258 on the retest and closes a 15 min candle below it, that suggests further bearish follow-through—avoid longs.
A clean break back above the 200 EMA (3 299) would shift the bias to neutral/bullish and could open a secondary target up near 3 350
Trade closed: target reached
