RELIEF RALLY + FOMO RETAIL, NOT TRUE ACCUMULATIONGoldOANDA:XAUUSDLucasGrayTradingThe current gold market no longer reacts solely to news but operates according to cash flow logic after a strong sell-off from the peak. The macro context shows a clear tug-of-war: growth shows signs of slowing while inflation remains high. This creates a 'conflicting expectations' environment, where gold is supported defensively but simultaneously pressured by the USD. Therefore, recent increases are more technical rebounds rather than a true accumulation process. On the H2 frame, the price structure maintains a downward trend with clearly lower highs and lower lows. After a strong breakdown, the market is rebounding to retest an important confluence area including Fibo 0.5–0.618, FVG, and the descending trendline. This is a decisive area where large cash flows often exploit for redistribution rather than trend reversal. The main scenario still leans towards the possibility of price rejection at the 4470–4520 area. If this occurs, the market is likely to return to the 43xx area and extend down to deeper liquidity areas around 41xx. This development aligns with the logic of 'pullback to continue the downtrend,' where rebounds only serve to create liquidity for sellers. In the event that the price breaks and holds above the 4520 area, the market may extend the rebound to the 4550–4600 area. However, it should be emphasized that this is still just a deep rebound within a larger downtrend structure, not yet sufficient to confirm a trend reversal. Overall, the market is still in a repricing and liquidity filtering phase. A true bottom has not yet formed as market sentiment remains expectant and cash flow has not completed the process of sweeping lower liquidity. Therefore, the main trend remains downward, and rebounds to the supply area continue to be seen as opportunities for the market to continue the sell-off in the short and medium term.
