Gold just gave one of those moves that makes traders sit up straight. Price shot up, got rejected hard from the intraday high — and instead of collapsing, buyers stepped in fast and defended the drop. That lower wick wasn’t weakness… it was liquidity getting grabbed.

What happened here looks like a classic downside sweep. Price dipped below, triggered stops, pulled in sellers — then snapped back up. That tells us the market didn’t accept those lower levels. Now price is reclaiming the short-term range, and structure is still sitting above the key demand zone. As long as the recent low holds, the bias stays bullish.

My Trade View

Entry Zone:

5075 – 5085

This area sits just above demand, which gives a clean and controlled risk setup. No chasing — let price come into the zone.

Targets:

5100 — first reaction level

5125 — previous rejection area

5150 — higher liquidity zone if momentum expands

Stop Loss:

5048

If price reaches there, the idea is invalid. Simple exit, no emotions.

The logic is clear. Sell-side liquidity got swept, strong rejection printed, and price reclaimed equilibrium. That’s often where momentum flips direction. If buyers continue defending above demand, the natural path is toward higher liquidity.

Calm execution. Patience. Structure first, emotions last. That’s the edge here.
