XAUUSD H1: Recovery From Weekly Low, Can Buyers Extend Next WeekGoldOANDA:XAUUSDOwen_SteeleXAUUSD H1: Recovery From Weekly Low, Can Buyers Extend Next Week? Fundamental Analysis Gold ended the week with a strong recovery attempt after the sharp sell-off into the weekly low area. The market is still sensitive to USD strength, inflation expectations, and cautious risk sentiment, so the recovery has not fully confirmed a major bullish reversal yet. For next week, the key point is whether buyers can defend the current recovery structure. If price continues to hold above the short-term buy zone, gold may extend higher toward the next liquidity and resistance areas. If the lower support fails, sellers may return quickly. Weekly Trend Summary During the past week, gold first continued the bearish movement after the previous BOS structure. Price dropped aggressively from the upper range and reached the weekly low near 4,022. After sweeping the low, buyers stepped in and created a strong recovery move. This shows that demand appeared from the lower liquidity area, but the overall H1 structure still needs more confirmation before turning fully bullish. The current rebound is important because price is now holding around the 4,210 area, which is acting as the short-term key level for the next move. Technical Analysis On the H1 timeframe, gold is recovering from the weekly low after a strong bearish leg. The current buy zone around 4,210 is holding the short-term structure together. If buyers continue to defend this zone, the next upside target is the FVG area around 4,340 - 4,350. A clean break above this area could open the way toward the golden low zone near 4,426, then the sellside liquidity area around 4,479. The lower support area to watch is the buy zone FVG and liquidity around 4,070 - 4,120. If price pulls back into this zone and buyers defend it, the bullish recovery scenario remains valid. However, if price loses the weekly low near 4,022, the recovery structure becomes invalid and gold may return to the bearish trend. Key Price Zones Current price: 4,218 Short-term buy zone: 4,200 - 4,210 Buy zone FVG and liquidity: 4,070 - 4,120 Weekly low: 4,022 FVG resistance zone: 4,340 - 4,350 Golden low zone this week: 4,426 Sellside liquidity: 4,479 Strong high supply zone: 4,560 - 4,590 Bullish invalidation: Below 4,022 Trading Plan Primary Scenario: Buy From Current Structure Entry: 4,200 - 4,210 after bullish confirmation Stop Loss: Below 4,170 Take Profit 1: 4,340 - 4,350 Take Profit 2: 4,426 Take Profit 3: 4,479 Entry Conditions Price holds above the 4,200 - 4,210 buy zone. Buyers show clear rejection from this area. H1 structure continues forming higher lows. Price should break above the nearest resistance with strength. Avoid buying if price breaks and holds below 4,170. Alternative Scenario: Buy From Deeper Liquidity Zone Entry: 4,070 - 4,120 after bullish confirmation Stop Loss: Below 4,022 Take Profit 1: 4,210 Take Profit 2: 4,340 - 4,350 Take Profit 3: 4,426 Buy Conditions Price needs to pull back into the 4,070 - 4,120 liquidity zone and show a strong bullish reaction. A bullish CHOCH on H1 or lower timeframe would make the setup cleaner. If price breaks below 4,022, this buy scenario is no longer valid. Sell Scenario Entry: Below 4,022 after confirmed breakdown and retest Stop Loss: Above 4,070 Take Profit 1: 3,980 Take Profit 2: 3,940 Take Profit 3: 3,900 Sell Conditions A sell setup becomes valid only if price loses the weekly low at 4,022 and fails to reclaim it. This would confirm that the recovery structure has failed and sellers are regaining control. Overall View Gold is showing a strong short-term recovery from the weekly low, but next week still needs confirmation. The 4,200 - 4,210 area is the first key buy zone. If buyers defend it, gold may continue toward 4,340 - 4,350, then 4,426 and 4,479. The deeper buy zone remains 4,070 - 4,120. As long as price stays above 4,022, the recovery scenario is still valid. If 4,022 breaks, the bullish view becomes invalid and downside pressure may return. Do you think gold will continue the recovery toward 4,479 next week, or will sellers push price back below the weekly low?
