Gold Analysis & Trading Strategy | August 12GoldOANDA:XAUUSDGoldTrend_Master✅ 4-Hour Trend Analysis The 4-hour chart remains in a high-level corrective consolidation within the broader bullish trend. The medium-term bullish structure has not yet been broken. Price is still trading above the 4-hour Bollinger Band midline at 4337.78, with the MA20 also located near 4337.78, making the 4337 area an important defensive level for the current 4-hour bullish structure. However, after facing resistance near 4435, price has pulled back towards the MA5 and MA10, indicating that bullish momentum has weakened noticeably. As long as price holds the 4366–4337 area, the pullback can still be regarded as a normal correction within the broader uptrend. If the 4-hour chart decisively breaks below 4337, the correction may deepen further. ✅ 1-Hour Trend Analysis The 1-hour structure is currently clearly weaker than the 4-hour chart and remains in a short-term bearish corrective phase. The most important level at present is the 4366.31 pivot, with price repeatedly testing this area. If the 1-hour chart can hold above 4366 and recover back above 4382–4387, the current pullback may come to an end, allowing price to retest 4395, 4419 and 4435. Conversely, if a 1-hour candle closes decisively below 4366, the next likely target would be the Bollinger Band lower band near 4348, followed by the key 4-hour support at 4337. 🔴 Key Resistance Levels ● 4382–4387: Bollinger Band midline confluence resistance ● 4395–4400: Short-term resistance ● 4419: Important structural resistance ● 4435–4448: Strong 4-hour resistance 🟢 Key Support Levels ● 4366-4360: Short-term bullish-bearish pivot ● 4348–4337: Key 4-hour MA20 support ● 4284: Important structural support ● 4255: Medium-term strong support area ✅ Trading Strategy Reference 🔰 Short-Term Buy Strategy After a Pullback to Support 👉 Buy Zone 1: 4368–4360 👉 Buy Zone 2: 4348–4337 🎯 Targets: 4387 → 4400 → 4419 → 4435 🛑 The 1-hour price is still trading below the MA20, so the 4370 area is not an ideal level for chasing long positions. A more conservative approach would be to wait for signs of stabilisation around 4366, such as a long lower wick or bullish engulfing pattern, before considering long positions. Alternatively, traders can wait for price to regain and hold above 4387 to confirm renewed short-term bullish momentum. 🔰 Short-Term Sell Strategy After a Rebound to Resistance 👉 Sell Zone 1: 4385–4395 👉 Sell Zone 2: 4419–4435 🎯 Targets: 4366 → 4348 → 4337 → 4284 🛑 The broader 4-hour trend remains bullish, so short positions are essentially aligned with the 1-hour correction but counter to the 4-hour primary trend, making them more suitable for short-term trading. If price regains and holds above 4387, the short-term bearish advantage will weaken significantly. 🔔 If you find my analysis helpful, please like, share, and stay tuned for future updates.
