MASON XAUUSD – Intraday Bearish Bias Below IchimokuGoldOANDA:XAUUSDMason_Drake XAUUSD is trading around 4,057 after losing short-term bullish momentum. Price is now moving below the Ichimoku structure, while the recovery attempt is still weak and has not confirmed a bullish reversal. The priority view for today remains sell with the short-term bearish structure, especially if gold retests the nearby sell zone and fails to break back above Ichimoku resistance. Technical View Gold is currently trading below the Ichimoku cloud and below the short-term resistance structure. This shows that buyers have lost control for now, and the market is still under bearish pressure in the intraday view. The recent drop from the 4,130–4,140 area created a clear bearish impulse. After that, price only recovered weakly into the 4,060–4,075 zone, which is marked as the sell zone on the chart. This sell zone is important because it sits near the Fibonacci reaction area and under the Ichimoku resistance. If price rejects from this area, it may confirm another lower high before continuing lower. The 4,035–4,040 area is the first short-term liquidity reaction zone. If gold breaks below this level, selling pressure may continue toward the buy scalping liquidity area around 4,015–4,025. The 3,984 level is also important because it is marked as a short-term price reaction zone. If bearish momentum remains strong, this area may become the next intraday target before price moves toward the deeper key support around 3,945–3,955. Key Zones Current price: 4,057 Sell zone: 4,060–4,075 Ichimoku resistance area: 4,130–4,147 Short-term liquidity: 4,035–4,040 Buy scalping liquidity: 4,015–4,025 Price reaction zone: 3,984 Key support zone: 3,945–3,955 Invalidation: above 4,095 Trading Plan Sell Priority: 4,060–4,075 Condition: wait for bearish rejection, failed recovery above the sell zone, or price staying below the Ichimoku structure. SL: above 4,095 TP1: 4,035–4,040 TP2: 4,015–4,025 TP3: 3,984 Final target: 3,945–3,955 Alternative Scenario If gold breaks below 4,035 directly, wait for a retest of this level as resistance before looking for sell continuation toward 4,015 and 3,984. Buy View Buy is not the priority while price remains below the Ichimoku structure and under the sell zone. A short-term buy scalp may appear around 4,015–4,025 or 3,984, but it needs clear bullish confirmation first. Final View Overall, gold is still moving inside a short-term bearish structure. The cleaner plan is to wait for price to retest the 4,060–4,075 sell zone and watch for rejection. As long as gold stays below Ichimoku and below 4,095, the downside path toward 4,035, 4,015, and 3,984 remains in focus. Will gold reject from the sell zone again, or break above Ichimoku to weaken the intraday bearish view?
