Long trade Gold FuturesCOMEX:GC1!davidjulien369GOLD COMEX — SRL Buyside Trade Idea Friday 14 August 2026 Entry time: 4:50 AM NY Time Direction: 🟢 Buyside Timeframe: 30-minute Entry: 4400.7 Stop: 4399.9 Target: 4420.3 Potential return: +0.445% Risk: 0.018% RR: 24.5R SRL read Gold has recovered strongly from the lower developing-value structure around 4367–4383 and reclaimed both VWAP and the higher-volume profile area. The 4400 area now acts as the immediate decision/reference zone. The long is effectively looking for the reclaim to hold and for price to continue rotating back toward the upper distribution around 4420.3. Indicator context VWAP Stev: price has reclaimed VWAP near 4398.9, supporting a return toward higher value. Volume Profile: the move has progressed from the lower-developing VA/POC area into a thinner overhead structure, leaving room for expansion. Developing POC: around 4373, well beneath entry, showing how far price has already migrated away from lower value. Developing VA High: around 4382.8, now reclaimed. Heikin Ashi / price structure: momentum has shifted from the prior markdown into a sequence of higher lows and stronger bullish candles. Risk The main weakness is the extremely tight 0.8-point stop. With Gold futures, normal volatility can easily probe below 4399.9 even if the broader idea remains correct. So, the 24.5R is attractive, but it depends on the 4400 reclaim holding almost immediately. Final read We assume a buyside continuation setup after Gold reclaimed lower value and VWAP.
