260
📉 XAUUSD Smart Money Setup – Bearish Rejection from Premium Supply Zone

Let’s get straight into it, fam. Gold (XAUUSD) just made a textbook move into a premium Order Block, and it’s screaming liquidity trap + reversal opportunity.

🧠 Market Structure Breakdown:
✅ Clean internal bearish structure
✅ Lower highs and lower lows maintained
✅ Current price rally = retracement into OB, not a reversal

This is a pullback into premium, designed to bait breakout buyers before slamming back down. Smart Money 101.

🔮 Key Confluences:
🟣 Order Block Zone:

3,290.000 – 3,331.405

Origin of impulsive bearish move

Aligned with supply imbalance and unmitigated sell orders

Tapped perfectly at 61.8%–79% Fib levels

🔻 Fibonacci Retracement (Swing High to Low):

50.0% → Current market price (3,286.370)

61.8% → OB mid zone

70.5% – 79% = ideal entry zone for institutional short positions

📍 Target Zone:

3,120.765 (0% Fib)

Solid RR with minimal drawdown potential

🧠 Smart Money Narrative:
Market induced sellers at the low

Rallied back up aggressively to entice breakout longs

Now entering sell-side OB where Smart Money is looking to unload positions

Retail sees a “breakout” — we see distribution. 💼

💡 Entry Strategy:
📌 Entry: 3,290 – 3,331 (OB + 70.5%–79% Fib)
📌 Stop Loss: Above 3,333 zone
📌 TP1: 3,210
📌 TP2: 3,150
📌 Final TP: 3,120
🎯 RRR: 1:4.5++ – chef’s kiss for swing traders

🔁 Risk Flow Checklist:
✔️ Structure confirms bearish bias
✔️ OB unmitigated + untouched since initial drop
✔️ High-volume price sweep prior to tap
✔️ Clean internal liquidity grabs before entry

This is the kind of setup you wait for — not force.

🧘 Pro Tip:
Let the OB do the heavy lifting. Don’t chase price — wait for the rejection signal:

Wick rejection

Bearish engulfing

Shift in internal market structure

Patience = profits. 💸

🧨 Summary:
This XAUUSD chart is a Smart Money masterclass:

Clean bearish BOS

Premium OB with Fib confluence

Trap setup above liquidity

Big RRR with minimal exposure
