🚨 $XAUUSD SHORT SETUP & MACRO ROADMAP 🚨
Direction: BEARISH 🐻
Strategy: Wait for Liquidity Sweep / Sell at POI
The Macro View:
Gold is under severe pressure from the Fed's hawkish narrative. We are currently chopping in a distribution phase.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Thursday's Core PCE (inflation) & Final GDP data will act as rocket fuel for volatility. Do NOT execute at market price right now.
The Technical Setup (The Trap):
Institutions need liquidity before pushing the price lower. We are waiting for a clear manipulation phase (stop-hunt) before taking a position.
Here is the game plan based on our roadmap:
1️⃣ Wait for the Sweep: Price pushes up to sweep liquidity at the 4H Key Level or fills the Daily Vol. Imbalance. (Alternatively, it sweeps the current low first, then violently spikes back up to these levels).
2️⃣ The Trigger: Once price taps the POI during/after the news volatility, wait for a bearish market structure shift on lower timeframes.
🎯 Entry Zones (POI): 4H Key Level / Daily Vol. Imbalance
❌ Invalidation (SL): 4330
📉 Downside Targets (TP):
TP 1: 4026
TP 2: 3928
TP 3: 3890
Verdict: Patience pays. Sit on your hands, let the data-driven stop-hunt play out, and ride the macro order flow down once confirmed. Protect your capital! 🛡️📉
