Gold Breaks Higher—Will Bulls Reach 4,180 or Face a Bull Trap?GoldOANDA:XAUUSDFiora_WintradeThe H1 market structure has clearly shifted bullish. Following the formation of a Strong Low, price printed multiple CHoCH and BOS, confirming that Smart Money has transitioned from accumulation into expansion. The recent breakout above 4,080 validates bullish continuation, but price is now approaching a previous Weak High around 4,142, where liquidity is resting. Rather than chasing the current rally, the preferred execution is to monitor whether price can successfully retest the newly created demand zone around 4,075–4,085. Key Levels 🟢 Support 4,075–4,085 (Demand / BOS Retest) 4,040–4,045 (Bullish Order Block) 🔴 Resistance 4,142.870 (Weak High Liquidity) 4,178–4,182 (Major HTF Supply) Trading Scenarios 🟢 Bullish Scenario If buyers defend 4,075–4,085 after a pullback, Gold could continue toward 4,142 before extending into the higher-timeframe liquidity around 4,180. 🔴 Bearish Scenario Failure to hold the BOS zone would likely trigger a correction toward 4,040, where the next institutional demand sits. Unless this level fails, any pullback remains corrective rather than a trend reversal. Summary The broader H1 structure remains bullish after consecutive BOS confirmations. The current question is no longer whether buyers control the trend—but whether they can absorb profit-taking beneath 4,142 before attacking the major liquidity resting near 4,180.
