Lingrid | GOLD Weekly MARKET Update: Price Coiled for Major Move

15 933
XAUUSD has formed an inside bar pattern on the monthly timeframe, creating a high-probability setup for the next major directional move. May's candle sits completely within April's range, with this compression typically preceding explosive moves in either direction. The 4H chart shows a complex corrective structure following multiple failed breakout attempts from the April high around. The recent bounce from support, which is May's low, suggests potential accumulation, though the overall structure remains corrective with descending highs.

Current price sits near the middle of the critical range. A break above May's high at 3,400 could trigger rapid acceleration toward 3,500-3,600, while breakdown below 3,120 would likely target major support around 3,000-3,050. Multiple fake breaks on shorter timeframes suggest accumulated stops on both sides, potentially fueling rapid acceleration once genuine breakout occurs. The A-B-C corrective pattern visible suggests the recent decline may be nearing completion.

The monthly inside bar pattern's resolution will likely determine gold's trajectory through the summer months. A bullish breakout could reignite the broader uptrend toward new highs, while a bearish resolution might trigger a deeper correction that tests major support levels. Either outcome would likely provide substantial trading opportunities for those positioned correctly when the pattern resolves.

The broader fundamental backdrop continues to support gold's long-term bullish case, though short-term technical factors may drive the immediate direction. Central bank policies, geopolitical tensions, and currency debasement concerns provide underlying support, while technical positioning suggests the market is primed for significant movement.

snapshot
XAUUSD finally broke above the structure and descending channel after a multi-week range and series of fake breaks. The breakout is gaining momentum above the 3,307.04 level, with a potential bullish retest already forming. Holding above the 3,300.00 zone would keep buyers in control and open the path toward the May high. The next advance could catch shorts off-guard as breakout confirmation solidifies.

📈 Key Levels
- Buy zone: 3,307.00–3,320.00
- Buy trigger: clean support retest of 3,300.00
- Target: 3,435.00
- Sell trigger: breakdown below 3,300.00

💡 Risks
- Failure to hold above the breakout zone may trap bulls
- Another fake break could occur near resistance
- Weak macro catalysts or dollar strength might cap upside momentum
