XAUUSD H1: The Dip Buyers Want, but 4,435 Holds the KeyGoldOANDA:XAUUSDAndrew_InsightTradeGold is sitting around 4,333, but the current location is more interesting than the price itself. The H1 chart shows a market caught between two unfinished areas: an Order Block near 4,300–4,312 below and a large Fair Value Gap around 4,440–4,465 above. In other words, gold still has business on both sides. The question for today is simple: Does price use the lower OB as fuel for the next expansion, or does that floor finally give way? 🟢 THE BUY I WANT TO SEE I am not interested in buying at 4,333 simply because gold looks “cheap.” My preferred setup starts lower. I want price to trade into 4,300–4,312, sweep liquidity around the recent lows, and then show a clear H1 rejection/reclaim from this Order Block. BUY ZONE: 4,300–4,312 SL: 4,282 TP1: 4,365 TP2: 4,402 TP3: 4,435 Final Target: 4,440–4,465 FVG Why this area? The OB sits directly above the major 4,282 support, giving buyers a logical place to defend. More importantly, a successful reaction here could create the liquidity needed for price to attack the previous H1 highs. I would rather miss the first few dollars of the rebound than buy before the market proves buyers are actually there. 🔥 4,402 IS THE FIRST REAL TEST Even if 4,300 holds, bulls are not automatically in control. The first important obstacle is 4,402. A clean H1 break and hold above this level would strengthen the bullish structure and put 4,435 back in play. Then things become much more interesting. If 4,435 breaks and holds, price would have a relatively clear path into the unfinished 4,440–4,465 FVG. For breakout traders, an alternative setup is: BUY: 4,438–4,442 after an H1 close above 4,435 SL: 4,420 TP1: 4,455 TP2: 4,465 TP3: 4,490 No H1 close above 4,435 = no breakout trade. 🔴 WHEN DOES THIS BECOME A SELL? There are two bearish setups I would consider. The first is a failure at 4,400–4,435. If gold rallies into this area but produces a strong H1 rejection instead of breaking through, sellers could push price straight back toward the lower liquidity. SELL: 4,402–4,430 after bearish rejection SL: 4,445 TP1: 4,365 TP2: 4,335 TP3: 4,310 The second setup is much cleaner. If an H1 candle closes below 4,298, I would consider the Order Block broken. At that point, I would stop looking for the bullish rebound. SELL RETEST: 4,298–4,305 SL: 4,318 TP1: 4,282 TP2: 4,260 TP3: 4,245 ⚡ THE MAP IN ONE SENTENCE 4,300–4,312 is the launchpad, 4,402 is the checkpoint, and 4,435 is the door to the FVG. My preferred scenario is a liquidity dip into the H1 Order Block followed by a recovery toward 4,402 → 4,435 → 4,465. But there is one rule I will not negotiate with: Below 4,298, the launchpad is broken. Would you rather buy the 4,300 sweep or wait for 4,435 to break first?
