Gold’s Update [20250607]
Gold-ie-fornia Glitters: Simply No Escape
🔥 The golden battlefield is set. Some will navigate with precision. Others will chase shadows. Institutions have laid their traps, and the prey never sees it coming. Will you?
The stage is set. The market is unfolding in precise, calculated sequences, leaving no room for hopium and assumptions—only for those who can read the reality beneath the illusions.
📌 This synopsis sets the stage for the unfolding battle—where illusion meets reality, where survival depends not just on movement, but on strategy, patience, and foresight.
Now, let’s dive deeper into the story, breaking down each phase, uncovering where liquidity hides, and analyzing the critical decisions traders must make before the market forces their hand.
Blind to the ripe conditions for institutional deep positioning and offloading, bulls trusted an illusion, charging forward without recognizing the trap. The recent high at 3403 was never a gateway to further gains—instead, it reversed sharply, plunging nearly 100 points to 3305.
Had they kept an open mind, they might have read my previous analysis—mapped and marked with precision—instead of walking into this conundrum unprepared. Click-->Full read here
The coming week belongs to the bears, but survival depends on more than instinct. Heightened senses will dictate their fate.
Before bears can roam free, they must first break through the perimeter of the Bull’s stronghold—the 3325-3316 zone.
This is the fortified defense line, the place where bulls still hold ground. A decisive push below this level would force them to retreat, exposing Berlin’s Wall (3275-3285)—the last major barrier before true liberation.
✔ If bears break through Berlin’s Wall, they step into the wilderness, but this isn’t a free passage—it’s a hidden battleground of institutional traps, set by the large-scale poachers hunting for bear liquidity.
Having mapped out the sequence of market events, let's shift focus to execution—how traders can position effectively, anticipate moves, and avoid institutional liquidity traps.
Key Strategy Guidelines for Bears
Be the apex predator, not the reckless prey. Fight smart. Stay vigilant. Conserve energy for the strikes that matter. Gather your berries, honey, and fishes along the way—survival depends on it.
Not all who enter this cycle will escape. The reckless will chase mirages, while those who master the art of precision will find their way to the hibernation chamber.

Gold-ie-fornia Glitters: Simply No Escape
🔥 The golden battlefield is set. Some will navigate with precision. Others will chase shadows. Institutions have laid their traps, and the prey never sees it coming. Will you?
The stage is set. The market is unfolding in precise, calculated sequences, leaving no room for hopium and assumptions—only for those who can read the reality beneath the illusions.
📌 Market Structure Breakdown – Chronology of Events (Anticipation-Based Perspective)
- 1️⃣ Bulls' Entrapment – Bulls trust golden illusions, believing their ground is secure—but it isn’t. Institutions lure them in, setting the perfect conditions for deep positioning and offloading.
- 2️⃣ Bears' First Break – Testing 3325-3316 – This level was previously a support but has only recently broken down. Before a full transition into bearish control, a retest is anticipated—response at this zone will determine the next move.
- ➤ Key Confluence Zone – 3305-3302:
3305 Dynamic True Value → Institutional equilibrium price level.
3302 Immediate VWAP of ATH Swing → Large player VWAP anchoring from All-Time High movement. - 3️⃣ Berlin’s Wall Challenge – 3275-3285 – If bears successfully break below 3325-3316, the next major challenge awaits at Berlin’s Wall. Bulls may attempt a last stand here, while institutions assess liquidity flow.
- 4️⃣ Wilderness Entry – Below 3242-3228 – Breaking below this zone suggests entry into the wilderness, but freedom here is deceptive. Institutional liquidity traps are expected to emerge, targeting bears' response.
- 5️⃣ Bear's Survival Phase – 3179-3202 – Institutional poachers are likely to engage here, harvesting liquidity with steel traps and spike-laden snares. Bears must respond strategically, anticipating resistance before advancing further.

Note
2025-06-10 Asian's Session updated 12:26pmThe failed VWAP 3337 breach reaffirmed the liquidity trap mechanics—institutional control expansion, reinforcing the sell-side dominance.
- The 3325-3316 successful test validates the structural support zone - presented the liquidity was absorbed, signaling intent for downside continuation.
- Revisit of 3325-3316 zone suggests hesitation; closely monitor if market participation weakens—momentum and volume. Weakness suggests extended reaccumulation before a decisive move unfolds.
- The next critical challenge at 3303 VWAP will reveal institutional liquidity positioning that dictates absorption or acceleration before the true move.
- If price pushes below 3307-3299 with convincing strength and momentum, the Berlin’s Wall test will hint at deeper liquidity exhaustion.
Refer to the latest chart snapshot below, showing the latest Dynamic True Value and VWAP levels.

LSE pre-bell showed liquidity play in the M45 TF below:

Note
NYSE Session update 10:25AM NY TimeWhat happened? Nothing happened. Trading above 3325 has revealed bearish weakness, while bullish sentiment buildup becomes clearer above 3337. True enough, the current move suggests extended re-accumulation and an attempt to breach 3348.
The tap of 3349, followed by a dip to the 3337 area, saw immediate rejection in the M1 snapshot—suggesting a liquidity hunt and institutional harvest cycle. Refer to the M1 TF snapshot below: 🔗 TradingView Chart
3355–3343 was the recent broken support, which also holds a hidden liquidity pool that remains untested. No surprise—sweeping liquidity into this area before the next directional shift makes sense. If price action closes outside this range with strength, it suggests continuation.
For key levels to watch, refer to the 4H TF snapshot—highlighted levels on the price log indicate the significance of market intent. 🔗 TradingView Chart
