Xauusd and Gold moves down Gold / U.S. DollarFOREXCOM:XAUUSDBasitTradersMarket Bias: Structured Bullish (with Liquidity Grab) Chart Date: July 18, 2025 --- 🔎 1. Market Structure Analysis: ✅ CHoCH: Trend reversal confirmed near July 3, where lower highs broke and bulls gained control. ✅ BMS: Break of market structure confirms bullish control after price broke multiple internal lower highs. 🔁 Internal Liquidity Sweep: Price swept recent lows near 3330 to collect liquidity before moving up — classic smart money move. 🔼 Higher Lows (HL) forming after FVG fills, indicating strength. --- 🧱 2. Key Zones & Confluence: 🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): ✅ Bullish FVG at 3340–3345: recently tapped and respected → confirms institutional interest. 🔼 Unfilled FVG above 3360 → potential magnet for price. 🔹 EMAs: 2 dynamic EMAs (approx. 50 & 34): price cleanly broke above both and retested → bullish signal. 🔹 Support/Order Blocks: Strong demand zone: 3322–3332 (where liquidity sweep occurred). Hidden bullish OB under FVG, giving triple confluence (Structure + FVG + OB). 🔹 Resistance/Supply Zone: Clean rejection zone around 3365–3368. Final TP or area to watch for reversal. --- 📊 3. Trade Setup: (Swing Trade – Smart Money Based) 🟢 Entry: Ideal Entry Zone: 3342–3348 (Pullback into FVG + OB + EMA + bullish candle confirmation) 🔴 Stop Loss: Below liquidity grab low: 3320 (well-protected SL below breaker block) 🎯 Take Profits: TP1: 3360 (next minor resistance + FVG top) TP2: 3368 (major supply zone) TP3 (Optional Swing): 3382–3390 (if breakout confirms) 📈 Risk-Reward Ratio: Minimum 1:3 — Excellent swing setup for pro traders --- ⚠️ 4. Risk Management & Notes: Avoid trading during red folder news (USD-related events shown below). If price closes below 3320 on 4H, re-evaluate bias. Monitor 1H for confirmation entry: bullish engulfing or BOS + OB. --- 🧠 5. Pro Tips (TradingView Discipline): Use alerts at 3345 and 3360. Never revenge trade if SL hits. Reassess bias with structure shift. Journaling this trade is important: track how FVG/CHOCH/BMS interact.
