AK Order Flow | Gold Order Flow Map #5 | 3,915 vs 3,889GoldOANDA:XAUUSDAKORDERFLOW2Neutral, two-sided map for Monday's London and New York sessions. Gold reopened above Friday's close, but it is still sitting just above the lowest daily low of the past 12 months. 🧭 Top-down • GC range since June: 3,879 to 4,783. Friday printed 3,879.3, the only daily low under 3,900 in a year. • Price is under the 20, 50 and 100-day averages (GC ~4,103 / ~4,279 / ~4,241). The trend is down; this map only cares about today's value. • Last week's value (spot): 3,988 to 4,063, POC 4,028, VWAP 4,004. Price is ~85 below the week's VAL. 📊 Value (XAUUSD spot ≈ GC − 9.2) • Friday: 3,870 to 4,025. Value 3,886 to 3,992, POC 3,902, VWAP 3,941. • Friday's last four hours (17:00 to 21:00 UTC): value 3,880 to 3,895, POC 3,890. That is where the month-end selling stopped. • Asia since the 23:00 UTC reopen: 3,890.8 to 3,914.8. Value 3,894 to 3,908, POC 3,899, VWAP 3,903. Asia volume is about 1/10 of Friday's, so this box is thin. 🔬 Level 3 fact (CME order book) • The last big resting order was a 100-lot bid at GC 4,041 (≈ 4,031 spot). It held from Wednesday evening and was hit Thursday 05:51 UTC by a 127-lot sell, plus a 95-lot sell at 4,037. • From then to Friday's close, no single trade was larger than 60 lots, including the whole slide to 3,870. The drop came on many small orders, not one big seller. Our order-book feed restarts with the full session, so today's first large prints will be the real test of the 3,890 shelf. 🟢 Long scenario • Trigger: a 1h candle closes above 3,915 (above the Asia high). • T1: 3,925 to 3,928. • T2: 3,941 (Friday's VWAP). • Cancel: a 1h close back below 3,905. 🔴 Short scenario • Trigger: a 1h candle closes below 3,889 (under the Asia low and Friday's late POC). • T1: 3,880 to 3,878 (Friday's late VAL). • T2: 3,871 (Friday's low area). • Cancel: a 1h close back above 3,898. ⚠️ Fakeout scenario A spike above 3,914.8 that closes the hour back under 3,905 points back to 3,899, then 3,894. 📰 News rule (ISM Manufacturing, 15:00 UTC) Hourly closes count until 14:00 UTC. No new trigger from 14:00 to 16:00 UTC. After that the levels apply again until 20:00 UTC. ✅ What to do today Wait for a full hourly close outside 3,889 to 3,915. Inside that box, the market is still deciding. If the trigger candle itself runs through the targets, there is no fair entry. Gap between the triggers: 26. Each T1 sits at least 9 beyond its trigger.
