XAUUSD H4 Outlook — 16 June 2025👋 Hello team, here’s where we stand before the upcoming key week:
🔎 The Narrative
Gold remains in bullish control after weeks of controlled expansion.
The clean breakout above previous major highs triggered liquidity resets that cleared significant weak-handed positions.
Last week’s sweep into 3447 activated premium liquidity, trapping late buyers at the edge of impulsive highs. But the game is far from over — smart money continues to rotate liquidity at these extreme levels, using premium expansion to build further trap pockets both above and below.
Behind this technical expansion, macro tensions continue to fuel underlying gold demand. Geopolitical uncertainties remain elevated with the Middle East escalation risk growing, while recent Fed positioning keeps rate path expectations flexible.
The upcoming FOMC decision later this week will likely act as the true liquidity catalyst — until then, gold remains positioned for further inducement cycles as both buyers and sellers continue to get baited into traps.
🔼 Premium Supply Zones
Price Zone Description
3447 – 3470 Weak high sweep — premium liquidity trap fully active
3500 – 3525 Main extension liquidity pocket — Fibonacci cluster (1.272 & 1.414 extensions)
3550 – 3570 Exhaustion inducement — full 1.618 premium extension stack
🔽 Demand Defense Zones
Price Zone Description
3415 – 3395 Minor imbalance recalibration — short-term liquidity refill zone
3365 – 3345 Core breakout OB + FVG overlap — main recalibration zone if pullbacks extend
3285 – 3265 HTF bullish structure base — BOS origin + deep recalibration defense level
🎯 Where We Stand Right Now
✅ Smart money holds full control inside premium expansion.
✅ Inducement layers remain open both above and below current price.
✅ We expect short-term liquidity sweeps before any major expansion unfolds.
✅ No change in bias — bullish structure remains valid while 3285 holds.
🔐 The Mindset
👉 This is not the place for aggressive chasing.
👉 Liquidity will continue to hunt both sides into key events ahead.
👉 Our job is not to predict, but to position with discipline once liquidity confirms displacement inside the calibrated zones.
