Current Price: 3368.76
Trend: Bearish on H4 | Corrective on H1 | Weak Bullish Attempt on M15

🔸 HTF Overview (D1, H4, H1)
📰 Macro + Economic Context – Week of June 23–28:
This is a high-impact week for USD with Fed speeches, inflation, and growth data. Monday opens with caution:
Monday, June 23
🟠 FOMC Member Waller Speaks
🔴 Flash Manufacturing & Services PMI
🟠 Existing Home Sales
Tuesday, June 24
🔴 Fed Chair Powell Testifies
🟠 CB Consumer Confidence
🟠 Richmond Manufacturing Index
Wednesday, June 25
🔴 Powell Testimony (Day 2)
🟠 New Home Sales
Thursday, June 26
🔴 Final GDP q/q
🔴 Unemployment Claims
🟠 Durable Goods Orders
🟠 Pending Home Sales
Friday, June 27
🔴 Core PCE Price Index
🟠 Revised UoM Consumer Sentiment
📌 Monday is lighter in impact, but PMI data and Waller’s speech may spark the week’s directional bias. Avoid trading blindly into PMI spikes.
H4 Structure & Bias:
Bearish trend intact: Lower High = 3418, Lower Low = 3311
EMAs (21/50/100) aligned downward — price capped below 3380
RSI still under 60 = no bullish momentum
Rejection zone remains valid at 3406–3420 (H4 OB)
Strong demand expected at 3340–3352 and extreme at 3310–3288
🔸 LTF Precision (M30, M15)
Price compressing around 3365–3372
RSI around 56 → indecision
No bullish HH above 3380 = still within bearish control
EMA flattening → prepare for trap setups around NY open

Note
🔸 HTF Overview (D1–H4)🌍 Macro & Geopolitical Outlook:
Global tensions are escalating fast following a direct US–Israel strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. This is no longer just a military skirmish — it’s a potential global trigger:
Trump declared: “We obliterated them” after US B-2 bombers hit Fordow and Natanz.
Iran responded: “They will never recover from the mistake they’ve made” – signaling possible retaliation on US or Israeli targets.
The risk of a regional chain reaction is real. Markets are now pricing in fear and uncertainty.
📊 Key Structural Levels Above Price
Level Type Notes
3430–3435 Inducement / wick trap FOMC rejection zone
3452 H1 Higher High Last confirmed HH
3472–3475 FVG Unfilled H4 gap
💬 This is not a time for aggressive entries. Let the chart prove itself. This week could mark the beginning of a larger macro shift, especially if Iran retaliates.

📈 XAUUSD Market Update – June 23, 2025"The bounce was clean, but the game’s not over yet."
🔸 Macro & Sentiment:
Gold has rebounded strongly from the 3340–3343 area following last week's FOMC volatility. With the new week starting slow and Powell's testimony coming up, we're seeing signs of bullish continuation—but we’re still sitting inside a potential trap zone in premium, so caution is required.
🔍 1H/15M Market Structure Recap
✅ 3340 marked the LL + origin of bullish leg after strong downside liquidity sweep.
✅ From there, we saw the first bullish CHoCH at 3360, followed by a bearish CHoCH that retested cleanly at 3343–3344 OB.
✅ Then: direct bullish push → 3375, consolidation → breakout to 3395.
✅ Pullback to 3347, then bullish leg to 3382, and retracement to 3359–3362 OB, now pushing back up toward 3391–3395.
⚔ Current Conditions (as of 3390):
🟢 Short-Term Bias: Bullish while above 3359–3362
⚠ Mid-Term Risk Zone: Price is testing the premium trap zone 3391–3400+
🔁 Invalidation: Clean break and close below 3359 suggests short-term weakness
🧠 Key Intraday Zones
🔹 Valid Demand OB → 3343–3344: Clean retest + strong reaction
🔹 Flip / Minor OB → 3359–3362: Held the recent retrace before impulse
⚠ Warning Zone / Premium Trap → 3391–3406: High risk for engineered sweep
🔻 Upper Sell Zone (structure-based) → 3406–3420: Strong HTF OB + premium zone
🎯 What to Watch Next
If price holds above 3360–3362, we may see another extension toward 3400+.
However, if we reject strongly from 3395–3400, it may confirm this as a liquidity trap, aiming for a deeper retracement back to 3355–3344.
For bulls: wait for confirmation above 3395 with volume.
For bears: watch for rejection wicks or CHoCH below 3362 as a trigger.
💬 Stay sharp — structure is evolving, and this could be a fakeout before real move. Let price confirm the direction.
