125
🔻 XAUUSD 1-Hour Breakdown — May 14, 2025

Gold gave a strong supply rejection at a marked Order Block zone. This isn’t just a pullback — it’s a potential continuation setup targeting lower lows. Here’s what’s cooking:

🧩 1. Market Structure
Clean rejection from premium OB zone at ~$3,220

Massive bearish impulse candle right after sweeping demand zone liquidity

Price formed a lower low and is now forming a lower high

🛠 2. Key Confluences
🟪 Order Block: Solid rejection with no candle closes above

💧 Liquidity Sweep: Deep wick into OB zone → trapped breakout buyers

🔺 Strong High Protected: Market respects structure, suggesting continuation

🔻 Weak Low Targeted: Clean draw to imbalance & potential sweep zone near $3,116

🧠 3. Trade Setup
Entry: Rejection near $3,207–3,220 OB

SL: Above $3,229 (invalidates structure)

TP: First TP zone near $3,116, extended TP: $3,100

RRR: 1:4 to 1:6 setup depending on partials

⚠️ 4. Risk Management
Watch for NY session reversal attempts

Secure profits at first demand zone reaction

Consider trailing stop above last bearish engulfing candle

📌 Price respects structure. If bulls don’t step in quick, sellers will run the table. This is a classic SMC bearish continuation off OB + liquidity grab — don’t sleep on it!
