XAUUSD 15 mins Chart

115
This chart captures a consolidation phase forming between two critical levels:

🔑 Key Zones:
Resistance Zone: ~$3,240–$3,245
This zone has acted as a ceiling where price repeatedly rejected. It's a liquidity cluster and decision area for bulls and bears.

Support Zone: ~$3,223–$3,225
Well-respected bottom of the range. Every touch here sees a reaction, signaling that buyers defend this zone for now.

🔄 Market Structure:
Sideways/Range-bound between $3,225 and $3,245.

Price is consolidating after a sharp move down.

Multiple failed breakouts, indicating indecision before news/events.

🔀 Scenarios:
✅ Bullish Breakout Setup:
Break and retest above $3,245 with strong volume could lead to a move toward:

First target: $3,260–$3,270

Extended target: $3,300 (previous structure)

Trigger confirmation: Break of highs at ~$3,245 with candle body close above.

🚨 Bearish Breakdown Setup:
Failure to break the purple zone + breakdown of support at $3,223 may open:

Immediate target: $3,200

Extended target: $3,180–$3,160 range

Trigger confirmation: Break and candle close below $3,223 with spike in volume.

🔄 Neutral/Bounce Range Trading:
Until a breakout, this is a mean-reversion range. Trades between $3,225 and $3,245 can be scalped with tight stops.

📊 Volume & Price Behavior:
Volume is decreasing slightly within the range → suggesting buildup before a news-related breakout.

Large move likely after breakout from this compression.
