XAUUSD Daily Trading Plan for April 3, 2025

441
🧠 Smart Money Concepts x Fundamental Flow
Despite negative USD news (ADP & ISM) and Trump’s hawkish blurbs, Gold didn’t pop aggressively — it wicked up into premium supply, then quickly retraced. That’s a liquidity game, not a trend change (yet). Still bullish bias overall, but intraday looks mixed.

🧭 Bigger Picture – D1/H4
Price rejected strongly from the premium supply zone near 3144–3147, leaving a clear wick with imbalance underneath.

Bullish structure remains valid, but we're seeing a potential distribution pattern short-term.

Trendline liquidity & HLs are stacking up below, ideal for a grab.

🟩 Demand zones of interest:

3107–3115 (discount zone, strong reaction in prior sessions)

3086–3092 (last known rally base)

📌 Key Zones
🔵 Premium supply: 3144–3147

🟡 Buyside liquidity: 3147–3155

🟦 Sellside liquidity grab zone: 3107–3115

🟢 Strong demand: 3086–3092

🔴 Major liquidity draw: 3180 zone (untouched weekly magnet)

🧩 SCENARIO 1 – 🐂 “Power of Discount” Buy Setup
“When in doubt, hunt the imbalance out.”

Price dips toward 3115–3107, taps imbalance + OB, shows M5/MS shift

Confirmation + sniper long

TP1: 3142 (last high), TP2: 3180 if momentum kicks in

🎯 Confluences:

Discount OB zone + unfilled imbalance

Trendline tap + BOS + liquidity grab

Weak DXY context

🧩 SCENARIO 2 – 🐂 Trap, Swipe & Rally Buy
Deep sweep to 3086 zone

Reversal signs after stop hunt / equal low grab

Entry on CHoCH or breaker retest (M15 or M5)

TP1: 3140, TP2: 3180

💡 This is the “maximum pain = maximum profit” play.

🧩 SCENARIO 3 – 🐻 Premium Rejection Intraday Sell
“Supply hits, market flips.”

Price tests 3144–3147 again in early session

No BOS on M5, shows weakness (M5/M15 LH + CHoCH)

Sell into imbalance zones

TP1: 3127, TP2: 3110

⚠️ Only take this if we don’t break above 3147. Watch liquidity wicks!

🧩 SCENARIO 4 – 🐻 Fake Pump & Dump
Price spikes through PDH, into 3155–3160

Quick rejection (news-induced spike or algo trap)

Sell setup on lower TF reversal after liquidity sweep

TP to 3115 zone

🎭 A classic “grab & go” trap. Great RR but needs discipline.
