Bearish Continuation Setup at 4,220 Resistance | XAUUSD 10/10GoldOANDA:XAUUSDAdrian_NovaTrader📊 Market Context Gold closed the latest session around 4,195 after recovering from the 4,070–4,110 liquidity area. The rebound has improved short-term momentum, but price is now approaching a descending trendline and a key resistance area around 4,220–4,230. My main focus for the next session is whether this recovery can break through resistance or becomes a corrective move before bearish continuation. 🔍 H4 Structure The broader structure remains bearish, with previous BOS signals confirming downside pressure. SSL sweeps around 4,110 and 4,070 triggered the latest recovery. A short-term bullish CHoCH formed near 4,170, supporting the current rebound. Price is approaching the descending trendline near 4,220–4,230, where the next structural reaction becomes critical. 📍 Main POI: 4,220–4,230 This is the primary decision zone, combining descending trendline resistance with the recent recovery's potential rejection area. 🎯 Primary Trading Plan — Bearish Continuation Entry Zone: 4,220–4,228 Stop Loss: 4,245 TP1: 4,165 TP2: 4,120 TP3: 4,070 Confirmation required: Wait for price to test the entry zone, reject it, and form bearish displacement with a lower-timeframe MSS or BOS. The entry is conditional; a touch of resistance alone is insufficient. Expected path: 4,220–4,230 rejection → 4,165 FVG → 4,120 Small OB → 4,070 SSL. Using an illustrative entry at 4,224, the risk to the proposed SL is 21 points. TP1 offers 59 points of potential reward, approximately 1:2.8 risk-to-reward, before costs and slippage. 🔄 Alternative Scenario — Bullish Breakout If H4 price closes firmly above 4,230 and holds the reclaimed area on a retest, the bearish setup loses validity. In that case, avoid forcing the downside scenario and monitor the next resistance zones: First upside area: 4,280–4,310 OB Extended upside area: 4,365–4,390 OB A brief wick above 4,230 is not enough by itself to confirm a breakout. 🧭 Outlook for October 12 My primary expectation is a test of 4,220–4,230 followed by a possible bearish retracement, provided rejection and lower-timeframe structure confirm the move. The first downside objective is 4,165, followed by 4,120 if bearish momentum expands. The key invalidation is a sustained H4 breakout above 4,230, with 4,245 serving as the proposed trade-level stop. If price opens below the entry zone and never retraces into it, there is no entry under this plan.
