GOLD (XAUUSD) 1H: Wyckoff Accumulation - Path to $4,280Gold / U.S. DollarFOREXCOM:XAUUSDnanawaves🪙 GOLD (XAUUSD) 1H: Wyckoff Accumulation & Spring Test — Path to $4,280 Overview Gold (XAUUSD) on the 1-Hour timeframe is displaying a classic Wyckoff Accumulation Schematic following a period of strong sell-off pressure. After completing the Spring and a clean Test, price has shifted structure upwards, indicating institutional accumulation and a potential reversal toward higher liquidity targets. Key Technical Breakdown 1. Wyckoff Accumulation Phase Breakdown Selling Climax (SC) & Automatic Rally (AR): Initial exhaustion formed the base range floor near $4,110–$4,120, followed by a swift rebound up to $4,210 (AR). Secondary Tests (ST1 & ST2): Re-tests of the lower bounds confirmed structural support within the trading range. Minor SOS & mBMS: A minor Structure Breakdown (mBMS) and displacement were recorded before price swept key lower liquidity. The Spring: Price engineered a liquidity sweep below the range low, dipping into the demand zone around $4,072–$4,084 before instantly rejecting back into the range. The Test: A higher-low retest around $4,095–$4,105 tapped the unmitigated demand zone, validating seller absorption and confirming the accumulation structure. 2. Current Price Action & Immediate Structure Following the Test, price expanded rapidly toward the $4,215 resistance level. Price is currently retesting the local demand/minor order block around $4,135–$4,145. The higher-low structure remains intact, setting the foundation for the next bullish leg. Execution Plan & Targets Bias: Bullish (Long) Entry Zone: $4,135 – $4,145 (Current Retest / Demand Zone) Stop Loss (SL): Below recent liquidity swing low ($4,090–$4,100) or below the Spring low for conservative risk management. Target 1: $4,215 – $4,220 (Immediate Swing High / Liquidity Pool) Target 2: $4,280 – $4,310 (Major Daily/HTF Bearish Supply & Unfilled Imbalance Zone) Summary Strategy As long as the $4,120 / $4,100 higher-low demand zone holds, we anticipate a pullback retest followed by an expansion leg taking out liquidity above $4,215 and continuing toward the major HTF supply zone near $4,280–$4,310.
