This chart represents the 30-minute timeframe for Gold (XAU/USD), focusing on market structure, price action, and key levels. Below is a breakdown of each key component:
1. Market Structure Analysis
ChOCH (Change of Character) ✅:
A Change of Character occurs when the market shifts from bearish to bullish or vice versa.
In this chart, ChOCH is marked with a ✅ where the price reverses direction and creates a new higher high or lower low, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment.
For example:
The ChOCH after the strong low ($2,613.377) marks a change from bearish to bullish.
Break of Structure (BoS) ❌:
BoS indicates when price breaks through a significant swing high or swing low, confirming the continuation of the current trend.
In this chart, the BoS levels are marked with ❌ to highlight where price breached key structural points.
BoS examples include:
The breakdown of earlier support zones confirms bearish momentum.
The break of the strong high later shows an attempt to push bullish before failing.
2. Key Levels
Supply Zones (Resistance - Green Highlighted Areas):
These zones are marked at the points where the price rallied and then reversed downward. They act as supply areas where sellers are active.
Examples include:
The zone near $2,720 - $2,730 (Strong High), where price faced resistance and failed to sustain further upward movement.
Demand Zones (Support - Green Highlighted Areas):
Demand zones are marked where price dropped and then reversed upward, indicating strong buyer interest.
Examples include:
The zone near $2,613.377 (Strong Low), where price formed a bottom and reversed.
The intermediate demand zone near $2,640 - $2,650, which initially supported price before breaking lower.
Strong High ($2,726.992):
This is a significant swing high where price peaked but failed to continue higher.
The failure to hold above this level confirmed that sellers dominated this area, pushing the price back down.
Strong Low ($2,613.377):
This is a significant swing low where price found strong demand and reversed upward.
This level represents the most recent bottom before the bullish ChOCH occurred.
3. Trend and Price Movement
Initially, the market was in a bearish trend, breaking key support levels (BoS).
The strong low near $2,613.377 created a demand zone and a ChOCH, which initiated a temporary bullish reversal.
The price then rallied toward the strong high at $2,726.992, breaking through intermediate supply zones on the way up.
After reaching the strong high, the price faced strong resistance and reversed sharply, marking a key failure swing.
Subsequent price action shows the market breaking back through previous demand zones, confirming a return to bearish structure.

Key Demand Zone Tested:
