Price Action Analysis | Bearish Order Block & Golden Zone Play

In this analysis, the market is clearly respecting a descending channel, forming lower highs and lower lows. Currently, price action is consolidating near a mid-support level and has yet to reach the next significant demand zone.

Key Zones Highlighted:
• 1HR Bearish Order Block: This area has been marked as a potential reaction zone. I’m waiting for the price to retest this level, where a bearish reaction is expected.
• Bullish Order Block - Golden Zone: This is a strong demand area where previous bullish momentum was initiated. A bounce is highly likely if price reaches this level.

Trade Idea:
• Waiting for the price to push up and test the 1HR bearish OB (marked with the red zone).
• If a valid bearish setup forms there (e.g., rejection wick, bearish engulfing), a short trade targeting the golden zone around $3,206.546 becomes a high-probability setup.
• Stops would ideally go above the OB zone (~$3,281), giving a favorable risk-reward ratio.

This setup is fully structure-based, aligned with price action and smart money concepts. No indicators are used.
