Gold View Do not sell gold now , there is gap ..it will hit 4835 then reverse..

But that doesn't mean that GAP will close today, it's commonly used as a trap for retail, which aims to close the gap today, but they will close it later in the week.

The "Gap Fill" Myth: It's a common belief that price will return to Friday's close. However, this is just a tendency, not a hard rule. Gaps don't always get filled, and they certainly don't have a time limit for when it must happen.
· It's Not a Must: Gaps can stay open for a long time. Trying to force a trade based purely on the "gap fill" idea is essentially gambling because you're trading a belief, not a confirmed market structure. TRAPBUDDY

Daily like said in weekend should played bearish, not necessary a bearish candle, just a wick, words that easly can be read prior post, Friday i advice caution to at least an 83k move, wich also has been done, remain weekly that is expected a more deeper retrace.
My last buy position was settled to 4845, not a sure thing but if the minimum volatility i had to play to upside i think is achievel and in there we have a 4h bearish price locked, the minimum volatility, the friday close and prior fractal close price at 4833. Not that to me is relevant anymore, i like fresh and that is at 4888.
As long 4721.523 holds to me 4965 is still a target.
The same way 4806.200 was a bullish 4h locked price broken and then tested can reverse price but the range that we really are now is 4772.620/4888.315
Down below at 4580.730 we have a bullish daily price locked and upside 4973.720 wich any close above or below this prices will more times than not lead to a test of this prices.
Volatility speaking we didn't reach not even 75% to one side or another, so caution, we are now at London window, the most manipulative time i know, any displacement at this hour will be suspicious to me.
Safe trades.

Booked 130 pips on the sell. Now let's see if we continue the bearish move and this m5 trendline is valid or not

Gold is really tricky lately. It looks like it wants to trend, but then we keep getting these quick pullbacks and fake moves before any real direction develops.
I’ve been noticing that especially around session opens, there’s often a push in one direction just to grab liquidity, and then the market reverses shortly after. Makes it difficult to trade clean breakouts.
Feels like it’s more about timing and patience right now rather than forcing entries. Some moves look great on hindsight, but in real time they’re not that easy to catch.
Curious how you guys are handling it at the moment – are you sticking with breakouts or waiting for confirmation?

yeah the emas are useless after a gap open, still lagging from friday 4800 is already gone sell was right all along. emas will catch down eventually but by then the move is done

I wasn't referring to you. Your analysis is very helpful and sometimes so accurate that it makes me suspect you're a spy or something, but it seems the forum is growing and attracting many new members. When it first opened, there was no buzz, just serious traders.

so we are at either smash through 4800 or drop below 4750 (nearer to 4800..) however I have a feeling we may close that Sunday opening gap during NYO unless Tango does something stupid.
