XAUUSD 4H Weekly Outlook: Testing EMA50, Waiting for Trend ConfiGoldOANDA:XAUUSDFUNTRADER-VeraHello , traders, Gold ended the week with a strong recovery, pushing above both the EMA20 (4155) and EMA50 (4167) on the 4H chart. However, the moving averages have not crossed yet—EMA20 remains below EMA50. According to my trend-filtering system, this is a "no-direction" state. I do not chase longs because the higher timeframe structure hasn't confirmed a bullish reversal, and I do not short because price has broken above the EMA50 resistance. The system stays flat and waits. **Key Levels for the Week:** - 1st Support Zone: 4116 - 2nd Support Zone: 4020 - Current Price: ~4194 **What I am waiting for:** - **Long Setup:** EMA20 must cross above EMA50. Then, a pullback would be the first valid trend-following long entry. - **Short Setup:** A 4H close back below both EMAs, shifting the structure back to a strong bearish trend. **System Note:** Patience is part of the system. Some weeks produce multiple signals, some weeks we stay completely flat. The edge comes from waiting for high-quality, confirmed setups. No trade is a valid decision. Have a great trading week! Let me know in the comments if you think Gold will break 4228 or retest 4116 first. GOOD LUCK! LESS IS MORE!
