GOLD (XAUUSD) โ€“ Market Update & Daily Plan โ€“ May 13, 2025

๐Ÿ”น Bias: Intraday bullish (HL forming)
๐Ÿ”น Context: Price is reacting from the 3215โ€“3228 zone (OB + discount) after confirming CHoCH at 3284.
Weโ€™re in a retracement phase โ€” next move could target 3240โ€“3280 if structure holds.

๐Ÿ”ต BUY ZONES (reaction areas, not sniper):
3215โ€“3228
โœ… Confirmed H4 OB
โœ… Discount zone + EMA200 confluence on H1
โœ… HL structure still valid
๐Ÿ“Œ If price retests with bullish confirmation โ†’ long toward 3240+ remains valid

3175โ€“3195
๐Ÿ”ต Strong H4 demand zone
๐Ÿ“Œ Only if 3215 fails โ€” last area to defend the bullish bias
Wait for structure to hold โ€” donโ€™t panic buy into weakness

๐Ÿ”ด SELL ZONES (broad reaction areas):
3285โ€“3300
๐Ÿ”บ Previous high + unfilled FVG
๐Ÿ”บ Potential inducement zone before rejection
๐Ÿ“Œ If price rallies fast, watch for rejection โ€” solid area for short pullbacks

3340โ€“3355
๐Ÿ”บ Strong H4/D1 supply
๐Ÿ”บ Untested premium OB
๐Ÿ“Œ Only valid if price breaks above 3300 โ€” aggressive short if NY overextends

๐Ÿง  Summary:
Weโ€™re in a bullish retracement.
If 3215 holds โ†’ price may push toward 3280+.
If that fails โ†’ 3175โ€“3195 is the final defense zone before larger structure shifts.
Sell zones are reactive โ€” wait for signals, donโ€™t jump in early.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Stay calm, stay patient. Donโ€™t trade the zones โ€” trade the reaction.

๐Ÿ”” Final Thoughts for Tuesday
The levels are marked. The structure is clear.
Now itโ€™s up to you to stay calm and let price do the talking.

We donโ€™t chase moves โ€” we let the market knock on our zones.

๐Ÿ“ Whether you're buying from discount or selling from premium โ€” let logic lead, not FOMO.
And remember: structure doesnโ€™t lie... but your emotions might.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Got questions? Drop them โ€” this is a team effort.
Letโ€™s stay sharp, focused, and prepared.

See you on the charts,

๐ŸŸก GOLD (XAUUSD) โ€“ NY Session Market Update โ€“ May 13, 2025

๐Ÿ”น Bias: Bullish retracement holding
๐Ÿ”น Current Price: ~3247
๐Ÿ”น Session: New York active โ€“ post-CPI digestion in progress

๐Ÿง  Context:
Price bounced perfectly from 3215โ€“3228, aligning with:

๐Ÿ”ธ H4 Order Block (OB)

๐Ÿ”ธ EMA200 (H4) confluence

๐Ÿ”ธ Discount zone reaction
This confirms bullish retracement flow is still valid, with a higher low forming.

๐Ÿ”ต Valid BUY ZONES:
1. 3215โ€“3228 โœ…
โ†’ Held perfectly during CPI drop + EMA200 confluence on H4
โ†’ Confirmed HL (higher low) and solid reaction.
๐Ÿ“Œ If we revisit this zone with bullish M5โ€“M15 confirmation โ†’ reentry is valid.

2. 3175โ€“3195
โ†’ Still valid as deep H4 demand zone
โ†’ Use only if the 3215 zone fails. This is the final defense for bullish structure.

๐Ÿ”ด SELL ZONES (broad reactive zones):
1. 3285โ€“3300
โ†’ Previous H1-H4 structure high
โ†’ Potential inducement area + low-volume gap
๐Ÿ“Œ Watch for price stalling or rejecting aggressively here, especially if news impact fades.

2. 3340โ€“3355
โ†’ Premium untested OB on H4/D1
โ†’ Only valid if price extends above 3300
๐Ÿ“Œ Reactive sell only if NY session breaks aggressively toward premium.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Technical Confluence Recap:
EMA200 H4 = perfect bounce at 3225

FVGs above still act as magnets (3260 / 3285)

Structure: HL forming โ€“ as long as 3215 holds, the bullish leg remains active

Liquidity: Buy-side above 3285โ€“3300 โ†’ may be swept before reversal

๐Ÿ” What to Expect Next:
๐Ÿ“Œ Bullish scenario:
โ†’ If price holds 3230โ€“3240 zone โ†’ short-term targets: 3265 โ†’ 3285
โ†’ Momentum may continue toward premium sell zones only if flow remains clean.

๐Ÿ“Œ Bearish scenario:
โ†’ If price breaks back below 3215 โ†’ expect retest of 3175โ€“3195
โ†’ Breaking below this = structure shift toward bearish control.

๐Ÿง  Summary:
โœ… 3215โ€“3228 held beautifully โ€“ EMA200 H4 + OB = sniper combo

โš ๏ธ Donโ€™t rush into new trades โ€” premium zones above are reactive

๐Ÿงจ NY might still trigger fakeouts or liquidity sweeps โ€” wait for PA confirmation

โš”๏ธ Final Thoughts:
Let the zones work. Let the market come to us.
We saw the reaction, we mapped it, we didnโ€™t chase it โ€” and thatโ€™s exactly how sniper trading should look.

Structure doesnโ€™t lie. Your FOMO does.

Stay sharp. Stay ready. Letโ€™s hunt smarter, not harder.
