Market Structure (XAU/USD – 1H/4H)

The chart shows a bearish market structure after a peak at 4,905.28 (April 1). Price has formed a series of lower highs and lower lows:
4,905.28 → 4,825.76 → 4,762.70 → 4,725.70 → 4,620.11 → 4,477.52 → 4,334.93.
Currently, price is trading at 4,724.45, below the EMA5 (4,734.00) and EMA10 (4,733.39), confirming short-term bearish momentum. The MACD histogram is negative (-3.26) with DIF (28.56) below DEA (31.83), reinforcing the downtrend.

Break of Structure (BOS)

A bullish BOS would occur if price breaks above the last lower high at 4,762.70 (or the more recent swing high at 4,733.31).
A bearish BOS would be a break below the last higher low at 4,620.11 – but the current structure is already bearish, so we look for continuation.

Demand Zone

The nearest demand zone (support area) is between 4,693.93 (EMA30) and 4,705.24 (Bollinger MB).
Additional support: 4,698.56 (today’s low) and 4,620.11 (previous swing low).

Liquidity Levels

· Upside liquidity (stop orders above resistance):
– 4,733.31 (today’s high)
– 4,734.00 (EMA5)
– 4,735.00 (minor psychological level)
– 4,762.70 (major swing high)
· Downside liquidity (stop orders below support):
– 4,698.56 (today’s low)
– 4,693.93 (EMA30)
– 4,620.11 (previous low)

Liquidity Pattern: Sweep → Hunt → Run

Price is likely to sweep upside liquidity above 4,733–4,735, triggering sell stops from breakout traders. Then it will hunt by reversing sharply downward, taking out late buyers, and finally run toward the demand zone.

Trade Setup (Short) – $500 Investment

Parameter Value
Direction Short (sell)
Liquidity sweep Price moves to 4,736.00 (above EMA5)
Entry 4,725.00 (after rejection & break below 4,724)
Stop loss 4,741.00 (above sweep high + buffer)
Take profit 4,700.00 (inside demand zone)
Risk 16 points (4,741 – 4,725)
Position size 0.3125 ounces (micro)
Risk per trade $5 (1% of $500) – or adjust to your risk tolerance

Example using 1:100 leverage: With $500 account, risking 2% ($10) → position size = 0.625 ounces (each $1 move = $0.625). For simplicity, trade 0.5 ounces → risk $8, reward $12.50 (1:1.56 R/R).

Trade Rationale

1. Sweep – Price takes out stops above 4,733–4,735, trapping breakout longs.
2. Hunt – A fast drop below 4,724 confirms the false breakout.
3. Run – Price continues down to the demand zone at 4,700, where buyers may step in.
