In the following analysis, I do NOT highlight any specific scenario but neutrally look at the higher timeframes in the > XAUUSD <

  • We focus on the technical KEY points and KEY areas that will be relevant in the coming weeks & months.

  • As soon as candlestick closes emerge that suggest a temporary direction for the price intra-day, I create a separate post below.

  • This post will be under a similar name, which is as follows: "XAU / USD - JOURNAL - ACTIVE SERIES" (Includes: entries, stop loss & take profit levels)

  • Once published, it will be added as a comment, and when this post is saved, you will receive a notification about it.

MARKED POINTS OF INTENTION (POI)

  • The all-time high from 2011 has been attempted to turn into support since 2020, which has been unsuccessful to date.

  • At this moment, we are above this all-time high, running it for a retest.

  • A 3-year RANGE has formed under this POI, which will serve as additional support.

  • We are also in a downtrend channel whose upper trend line continues to be contested.

  • Momentum indicators in the weekly TFs and higher are not meaningful; however, a small bearish divergence can be seen in the daily TFs.

  • There are a lot of support areas standing in the way of a serious sell-off, which would have to be broken through first - both scenarios can thus not be ruled out | LONG / SHORT.

WEEKS - CLOSING PRICE = BEARISH

> The candle did not form a formation worth highlighting 
= note that the candle close was below the close of the last HL, which underlines the selling pressure and could mean the initiation of a further down-sale.
 
> The "CLOSE" occurred below the 2011 ATH (1921.070), which now serves as resistance.
> The MTF trend channel midline, continues to serve as support and achieved several reactions in the past.
> We experience additional support from the sideways channel, which has existed since 2020 and whose upper support line is at 1905.00 USD.
 
The following "FIBONACCI-LEVEL" of the downward movement is still pending to be worked off:
= 0.75 - 0.786 (1866.965 - 1857.866 USD)
= 0.88 (1834.316 USD)
= 1.618 (1836.952 USD)
 
! ATTENTION - the visually displayed FIBs (0.618; 0.65; 0.328) are for orientation purposes only and have already been processed in the past!
 
 
> The "DEMAND - ZONE" below serves as additional support.
> The MA (50, 100, 200) - serve as support.
> The MA (5, 8, 20) - serve as resistance.
 
> The MACD indicator confirms the negative momentum.
> The RSI indicator confirms the negative momentum.

OVERVIEW
snapshot
Note
WEEKS - CLOSING PRICE = BEARISH

> The candle did not form a formation worth highlighting
= it should be noted that the subordinate market structure was broken - which allows further room to fall.

> The "CLOSING COURSE" occurred in the HTF sideways trend channel, whose upper trendline served as support and is already confirmed by the market as resistance in the INTRA-DAY.
= for this reason, one can expect a run-up to the trend channel trend line in the INTRA-DAY and depending on the INTRA-DAY reaction, the down-sale continues or is interrupted.
> The next HTF support is the WEEK DEMAND zone and individual MAs, which are mentioned in the following lines.
> From the current situation, I expect another ab-sale.

Note
WEEK - CLOSING PRICE = BULLISH

> The candle formed a "BULLISH ENGULFING"
= this indicates a temporary trend reversal.

> The "CLOSING PRICE" occurred above the HTF sideways trend channel, whose upper trend line served as resistance and is already confirmed by the market as support in the INTRA-DAY.
= for this reason, we can expect a bullish continuation in INTRA-DAY until the next significant resistance areas are reached.
> All these arguments, which speak for a trend reversal - we still closed below the "Higher High" of 2011 (1921.070), which is still to be interpreted bearish.
> The next HTF resistance is the WEEKLY SUPPLY zone, short-term Mas and the overriding 0.328 FIB.

Note
MONTH - CLOSING PRICE = BEARISH

> The candle did not form a highlighting formation
= note that the candle close has an extreme shadow, highlighting the buying pressure & despite this, the candle has no wick.

> The candle broke back into the HTF downtrend channel, again rendering last month's breakout moot.
> The Higher High from 2011 (1921.070) serves as the next very strong support and should show a reaction in the (Intraday / Weekly).
> If the Higher High fails to withstand selling pressure, the HTF sideways trend channel comes into play next and will provide significant resistance.

= this indicates indecision and needs another candle close.
