H1 Bullish Continuation From Retest DemandGoldOANDA:XAUUSDMason_Drake XAUUSD is trading around 4,398 after recovering back above the latest H1 MSS. The broader structure remains bullish, but price is now testing the 4,385–4,405 resistance and liquidity area. Gold remains supported by a softer U.S. dollar and slightly lower Treasury yields after weak retail sales and softer inflation data reduced expectations for a September Fed hike. Gold gained around 0.8% last week, while markets now focus on Fed minutes, August PMIs and Jackson Hole for the next policy signal. Technical View The H1 structure continues to print higher lows above the bullish market structure trendline. The latest recovery through the MSS near 4,395 keeps the continuation scenario active. The 4,345–4,365 area is the key buy/retest zone. It aligns with previous structure and sits below the current liquidity resistance, offering the cleaner location for another higher low. The immediate resistance remains 4,385–4,405. Acceptance above this zone would confirm stronger buyer control and expose the premium liquidity target around 4,445–4,465. The broader bullish structure remains protected while price holds above the recent swing structure around 4,320. Key Zones Current price: 4,397.960 Buy Priority: 4,345–4,365 Resistance / liquidity: 4,385–4,405 Premium liquidity target: 4,445–4,465 Major demand: 4,210–4,230 Major structural support: 4,225.498 Bullish invalidation: below 4,320 Trading Plan Buy Priority: 4,345–4,365 Condition: wait for an H1 pullback followed by bullish rejection, liquidity-sweep reclaim or higher-low confirmation. SL: below 4,320 TP1: 4,395–4,405 TP2: 4,425 TP3: 4,445–4,465 Important Note Price is currently testing resistance, so chasing above 4,398 offers weaker positioning. The cleaner setup remains a controlled pullback into the marked retest zone. A sustained H1 close below 4,320 would weaken the continuation structure and increase the risk of a deeper correction. Final View Gold remains bullish on H1 while the higher-low structure holds. The preferred setup is a confirmed reaction from 4,345–4,365 before targeting 4,400 and the premium liquidity zone near 4,450. Will gold complete the retest before the next liquidity expansion?
