XAUUSD H1: Gold Faces Rejection as Bearish Pressure ReturnsGoldOANDA:XAUUSDRichard_PrimeInsightsGold is showing renewed bearish pressure on the H1 chart after facing rejection from the 4140–4150 resistance area. Price has dropped sharply toward 4028 following a liquidity sweep near the recent highs. The latest bearish BOS confirms that sellers have regained short-term control, while price is now trading below the previous consolidation structure. The nearest resistance is located around 4070–4080, where a bearish Order Block is positioned. A retracement into this area could provide another opportunity for bearish continuation. The key question is whether gold will reject the 4070–4080 Order Block and continue toward the 3980 FVG, or whether buyers can reclaim the resistance and trigger a deeper recovery. 📍 KEY LEVELS 🔹 Major Resistance / Order Block: 4070–4080 🔹 Current Price Area: 4020–4035 🔹 FVG Zone: 3975–3995 🔹 Secondary Order Block: 3940–3955 🔹 Major Demand Zone: 3890–3905 🔴 SCENARIO 1 — SHORT FROM THE ORDER BLOCK If gold retraces toward 4070–4080 and shows bearish rejection, a continuation toward the lower FVG becomes possible. I want to see a bearish CHoCH or rejection confirmation on M15 before considering this scenario. ENTRY: 4072–4077 STOP LOSS: 4090 TAKE PROFIT 1: 4040 TAKE PROFIT 2: 3990 TAKE PROFIT 3: 3945 Invalidation: An H1 close above 4080 followed by a successful retest. 🟢 SCENARIO 2 — LONG FROM THE FVG ZONE If price reaches 3975–3995, sweeps liquidity, and forms a bullish CHoCH on M15, a temporary recovery toward 4030–4070 could develop. ENTRY: 3980–3985 STOP LOSS: 3965 TAKE PROFIT 1: 4010 TAKE PROFIT 2: 4040 TAKE PROFIT 3: 4075 Invalidation: An H1 close below 3975 without a successful reclaim. 🔴 SCENARIO 3 — SHORT AFTER FVG BREAKDOWN If gold closes below 3975 on H1 and fails to reclaim the FVG during a retest, bearish continuation toward the secondary Order Block becomes the preferred scenario. ENTRY: 3970–3975 STOP LOSS: 3995 TAKE PROFIT 1: 3955 TAKE PROFIT 2: 3945 TAKE PROFIT 3: 3900 Invalidation: Price reclaims 3995 and holds above it. 🦁 MY H1 BIAS My overall bias remains bearish while gold trades below the 4070–4080 Order Block. The recent liquidity sweep followed by a strong bearish displacement and BOS suggests that sellers currently have the advantage. My preferred scenario is a corrective rebound toward 4070–4080, followed by another rejection and a move toward 3990, 3945, and potentially the 3890–3905 demand zone. However, the FVG around 3975–3995 could attract buyers and trigger a temporary recovery. I will wait for market-structure confirmation rather than anticipate the reaction. ⚠️ RISK MANAGEMENT All entries are conditional trading scenarios, not confirmed trade signals. Wait for M15 or H1 confirmation and manage risk carefully. 💬 Will gold reject the 4070–4080 Order Block and continue lower, or will the FVG trigger a recovery toward resistance?
