Gold 31 July – Bearish Bias Holds, Watching Supply ZonesGold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 31 July Market structure is now aligned across both higher and lower timeframes: H4: Bearish M15: Bearish This alignment strengthens the probability of trend-continuation setups in favor of the dominant downtrend. 🔄 Current Market Behavior: The M15 chart is currently in a pullback phase, retracing toward its previous lower high and approaching a key supply zone. 📍 Key Supply Zones to Watch: Zone 1 – Immediate Supply Zone (3299 – 3305) • First area of interest where price may react. • If respected and followed by M1 confirmation, a short setup could be initiated. • Watch for signs of exhaustion or sharp rejection. Zone 2 – Higher Supply Zone (3326 – 3332) • If the first zone fails, this becomes the next high-probability area. • Well-aligned with the broader bearish structure — expect stronger reaction potential. • Suitable for cleaner high RR short trades if price reaches this level. ✅ Execution Plan: • Observe how price behaves inside the marked zones. • Only plan short entries after M1 confirmation — this adds precision and prevents premature entries. • Stay patient. Let the market come to you and reveal intent before acting. 📌 Summary: Bias: Bearish Structure: H4 and M15 both support downside bias Zones in Focus: – Primary: 3299–3305 – Secondary: 3326–3332 Execution: Wait for confirmation before entering. Risk-Reward: Maintain 1:3 RR minimum (e.g., 40 pip SL, 120 pip TP). Let the structure guide your setups — not impulse. 📘 Shared by ChartIsMirror

Gold 29 July – H4 Demand Holds, M15 Structure ShiftsGold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 29 July The Mirror is Forming at 3310: Structure + Reaction in Focus The market has successfully held the H4 demand zone, particularly near the critical level around 3310. This level is not just another number on the chart — it’s an inflection point. A possible first higher low or swing low, from which the next directional leg in gold could emerge. Yesterday’s price action swept liquidity beneath this zone and then showed a strong bullish reaction. This isn’t just a bounce. It’s a behavioral shift — one that hints at absorption of selling pressure and the re-entry of aggressive buyers. 🔍 Structure Alignment: H4 + M15 On the H4 timeframe, price has stabilized within the demand zone. Zooming into M15, we now see internal price action beginning to shift: • First, a Change of Character (ChoCH) — the earliest clue that momentum is starting to turn. • Then, a Break of Structure (BoS) to the upside — signaling potential bullish intent. This multi-timeframe alignment — H4 support holding + M15 structure shifting — builds a strong case for a potential reversal and continuation of the uptrend. 📍 What Next? The next step is to mark a refined M15 Point of Interest (POI) — a zone where price may pull back before making its next move upward. We don’t chase price. We let it come to us. ✅ Look for Lower Timeframe Confirmation Once price returns to your POI, it’s time to observe. You’re not looking for obvious signals. You’re watching for subtle behavior — a sharp reaction, a psychological flush, or a precise candle footprint that reveals intent. The deeper signals aren’t always visible to the untrained eye — but they’re there for those who’ve studied the mirror. ( For those who know what to look for — this is where the sniper entry reveals itself. ) 🎯 Summary • Bias: Bullish — structure and reaction support long setups • Plan: Wait for price to retest the M15 POI • Execution: Only enter on confirmed lower timeframe intent and confluence • Target: 120 pips (fixed, as per system) • Stop Loss: 40 pips (always 1:3 R:R minimum) 📚 This is the kind of structure-based clarity we teach in The Chart is the Mirror . Let the chart speak. Let the structure guide you — not your emotion. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 17 July Analysis | Demand Zone in Play🟢 Gold (XAUUSD) – 17 July Analysis | Demand Zone in Play Gold continues to follow the bullish structure we’ve been tracking in our recent posts. Yesterday's news-driven price action pushed the market to a new swing high near 3377.600 , confirming strength in higher timeframes. Now, price is currently in a retracement/pullback phase , pulling back toward a key intraday demand zone at 3326–3320 — offering potential opportunity for the next leg upward. 🔍 Where Are We Now? The market is currently pulling back toward a key M15 demand zone: 3326–3320 . This level also aligns with a higher timeframe order block on the H4, making it a critical confluence area for structure-based traders. This 3326–3320 zone is crucial because: → It’s a fresh M15 demand zone inside a higher timeframe bullish structure → It aligns with the H4 OB that previously acted as a launchpad → The overall trend remains bullish unless this zone is decisively broken If the zone holds and we get LTF confirmation (such as M1 internal structure shift + micro-BoS), it may present a high-probability long setup. ⚙️ Structure Summary: ✅ H4: Bullish continuation structure with recent higher high ✅ M15: Pullback within bullish order flow ✅ M1 (for entry): Awaiting ChoCH + BoS as entry trigger inside POI 📌 Trade Setup Plan (upon confirmation): → Entry: From 3326–3320 demand zone → Stop Loss: 40 pips below entry → Take Profit: 120 pips (targeting new HH based on H4 projection) → Risk-to-Reward Ratio: 1:3 🧠 Key Trading Insight: We never predict — we prepare . We don’t chase price — we position with confirmation . Discipline means waiting for price to invite us in , not entering just because a level looks attractive. 📈 Summary & Expectations: ➡️ Price is retracing into a structurally significant demand zone ➡️ Market bias remains bullish unless this zone fails ➡️ If the zone holds with valid M1 confirmation, we’ll consider a long setup targeting a new high ➡️ No confirmation = no trade. Patience > prediction. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror This analysis is part of our ongoing structure-based approach to trading Gold.

Gold – Bullish Structure Confirmed | July 16 Outlook🟢 Gold (XAUUSD) – July 16 Analysis | Uptrend Resumed After H4 OB Test As outlined in our previous post — Gold – H4 Structure at Key Decision Point | July 14 Outlook , price has now tested the H4 order block near 3320, which we marked as a high-probability reversal zone. Following this, the market has shown clear signs of strength — with both internal structure shift and a Break of Structure (BoS) on M15, confirming that the uptrend has resumed. 🔍 Structure Alignment: ✅ H4: Bullish continuation after OB test ✅ M15: ChoCH + BoS → confirms trend alignment with H4 📌 Key Intraday Levels to Watch: 🟩 3335–3333 (M15 Order Block & Breaker Level): → A short-term OB just before our main POI → If price respects this zone with LTF confirmation (M1 Micro-ChoCH + BoS), we may plan an early long entry 🟩 3327.7–3329.4 (Main M15 POI Zone): → High-probability continuation zone → On retest + LTF confirmation → plan for long setup 📈 Trade Plan: → Watch 3335–3333 OB first → If respected with M1 confirmation, early entry is valid → If that zone fails, wait for price to revisit 3327–3329 POI → Same confirmation rules apply In both cases, target new HH, in line with current trend momentum 📖 When price respects structure and confirms behavior, don’t second-guess — follow the process. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold – M15 Downtrend in Play | July 15 Analysis🔻 Gold (XAUUSD) – July 15 Analysis | Bearish Bias Until Proven Otherwise The market has entered a pullback phase on H4, and we’re expecting a potential retest of the 3320 Order Block before any continuation of the broader uptrend resumes. 🔍 M15 Market Structure: ✅ ChoCH followed by BoS confirms a downtrend on M15 🎯 Current short-term objective: Retest of H4 OB (3320) 📍 Price Action Context: Price is now revisiting the same M15 POI where yesterday’s short setup originated. Last session, this POI was respected, but instead of creating a new Lower Low, price is trading inside the same zone again. This signals indecision — so we let price reveal its intent 🧭 Trade Planning Scenarios: Scenario 1 – Bearish Continuation: → If the POI is respected again with clear M1 confirmation ( Micro-ChoCH + BoS ), we will plan for a short setup toward 3320 Scenario 2 – POI Breaks: → If price breaks above this POI zone, the next key level to observe is the 3355–3359 supply zone → We’ll reassess from there based on new confirmation 📌 Bias for Today: 🔻 Bearish bias remains intact as long as M15 structure does not shift back to bullish. All setups must align with structure — we are short-biased only until the market proves otherwise 📖 Structure before emotion. Let the market invite you — not the other way around. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror
