break below 4665 could give hope. But I’m not sure which side will break first 4665 or 4680

continuing 12-candle- (wait-12-candle-concept = your account safety),
new high . . . start counting from 0 . . . = wait fir 3 days ....
how many member disappaer from teh forum last month after gold renewed highs!
concepts says: if there is a new high, stop trading for 12 candles-H4, or even daily,
and with any new high, start re-counting from 0 . .

{quote} It will depend all how this 4h close but this is a gap that have meaning, so expectations to be filled closing bullish to me is lower, more tap 4711 and 4769 than filled first... But market always does what it want... Particulary with a clown in white house... Is not him that move the market, they just use any excuse to fk price action and we have to deal with it... By last week monday open 4670.190 was the zone to achieve, from here we still are in the 4h opening.

Unless this candle 4h close bearish, guys, stop saying we go bearish, we can hit 4789, 4719 just by the gap pattern continuation.
Last two gap up above 4h friday close how went to you guys?
I also say open and closes matter, gap fill is not even a strategy, is a myth such what really is a gap also...
50/50 is any kind of strategy? Without an edge yours futures in trading will be fighting...

When you see a gap like this, buy, stop at the low of the 4h close, partials at 1 dev and full tp at 2 deviations...
Now go to the charts, and check out, but if you guys want, if 4h close inside the gap bearish cut the loss, if it fully hit is one loss, having into account that tipical give 2RR wich way this kind of gap should be trading?

EDIT: And if the 1st 4h close below gap is a manipulation gap, play the same to downside... HOMEWORK. Is why they are so rare....

The market play it as my analysis i did in December . From here there is 2 probabilities one hold 4651 - 4700 and break resistance and form a new supply ,demand here because its also my next supply,demand area second we drop back to 4440-4470 and form a new leg structure to 5000 and fill the gaps.Now we holds 4651 -4700 demand,supply target .If this new supply holds we will see some crazy bullish momentum to 4900-5000 and after we drop out wanna see some bullish trying to break 4700 resistance .

Trading the gap, rest assured is an inconvenience, but they will close, may take an anxious, timely and unprofitable while, D

And the quarter deviations always will find some resistance lower tf, we stop and this is why... Not necessary they will fill the gap, in fact they can test it again this 4h closing bullish to then go up, but the probabilities of be filled is about 25% this 4h closing bullish...
I am not a believer, so... No sells for now!

1st, the gap can not be filled totally, but people seem to think that as a rule.
To a gap be consider filled they just need tap 4h close high that broke...
If people set their Tp to the close, OMG they ended loosing the trade...
And here depends how much have that high of pips relative to de close.
And i will repeat in 42m closing above the gap the odds are 25% of beeing closed, maybe i give an extra more 4h be less than 60% body range, but still probabilities are bullish closing bullish.
And to finish, gaps are filled like any trade we make without stop loss, eventually that price will be hit someday...

Some gaps can take years or sometimes even decades to close.

FYI there is a gap at 1830, which is pending since October 2023
