Day 9 of 90 — Compression → Expansion → ContinuationGoldOANDA:XAUUSDPips0mnian🛡 Day 9 of 90 — Compression → Expansion → Continuation M15 | Sentinel Lite | XAUUSD London 🇬🇧 → New York 🇺🇸 Today the market showed the full cycle inside one session. Phase 1 — Compression (London) • Small overlapping candles • EMAs flat • No clean structure break • Liquidity building No edge. No forcing trades. Phase 2 — Clean Expansion (New York Open) • Strong displacement candle • Clean break of range • EMA 21 separating from 50 • Clear structure shift That is imbalance. That is participation. Phase 3 — Continuation • Pullbacks shallow • EMA 21 respected • Higher highs building • No structural failure Expansion didn’t fade. Momentum sustained. That is trend behavior. The Real Lesson of Day 9 Compression builds energy. Expansion releases it. Continuation rewards patience. Most traders lose in compression. Disciplined traders wait for expansion. Still Day 9. Still building discipline. Still protecting capital. 🛡 Structure first. 🛡 Momentum second. 🛡 Execution last. #XAUUSD #Gold #Forex #SentinelLite #MarketStructure #PriceAction #Momentum #90DayChallenge
