XAUUSD: Pre-NY Resistance Plan → Rejection & PullbackGoldOANDA:XAUUSDGTLabThe following analysis was shared before the New York session (11:46am) while price was approaching resistance: XAUUSD – Intraday Update (Pre-NY) We established a clear support base in the 4305–4320 area, which held well. During the Asian session, price pushed higher and took out Wednesday’s highs, confirming short-term strength. Price was trading around 4395, approaching a key resistance zone near 4404, aligned with Tuesday’s highs. What I was watching: Reaction as price approached 4400–4404 Acceptance above 4401 with a body close → continuation toward 4420+ Wick above 4401 with a close back below → rejection and pullback toward 4353 or lower At resistance, the focus was on confirmation — not prediction. Outcome Price wicked above 4401 without a candle body close, showing clear rejection at resistance, and rotated lower, reaching the 4353 support zone. This is a clean example of how waiting for reaction and confirmation at key levels removes the need to chase or guess direction. Structure first. Patience always.
