XAU/USD (Gold) – 30-Minute Technical Analysis

142
Gold is currently showing signs of a corrective pullback within a broader bearish trend, with clearly defined supply and demand zones. The structure presents potential opportunities for both intraday bulls and swing traders waiting for a higher timeframe rejection.

🔍 Key Observations:
Current Price Action:
Gold is trading around $3,292.62, showing a minor intraday recovery. However, overall momentum remains bearish after the recent sharp sell-off.

M30 Selling Area:
There is an immediate intraday supply zone around $3,320–$3,322, marked as the "M30 selling area". This is the first level of interest where sellers may become active again.

Strong Selling Area:
A more significant higher timeframe resistance lies between $3,327–$3,332. This is a confluence zone and a probable reversal point. If price reaches here, it’s expected to face strong selling pressure.

📈 Bullish Scenario:
If price breaks and sustains above the M30 selling area, it may target the strong selling zone above.

A confirmed rejection from this higher zone could offer an ideal shorting opportunity.

📉 Bearish Scenario:
Rejection from either of the selling zones could initiate a sell-off targeting the following support areas:

First target: $3,310–$3,312 (Major liquidity area for bullish move)

Second target: $3,303–$3,306 (M30 liquidity area for bullish move)

Break below $3,302 would expose further downside potential.

🧠 Strategy Outlook:
Intraday Traders: Can look for rejection patterns or bearish engulfing candles in the $3,320–$3,330 zones for short entries with tight stops.

Swing Traders: May wait for price to tap into the strong selling area before entering with wider targets down to the liquidity zones.

Bullish invalidation: Sustained breakout and hold above $3,332 would invalidate the short bias.

🔄 Market Sentiment:
Overall bias remains bearish unless bulls reclaim control with volume and structure change above the $3,332 mark.

📌 Summary:
Resistance Zones: $3,320–$3,322 (minor), $3,327–$3,332 (major)

Support Zones: $3,310–$3,312, $3,303–$3,306

Bias: Bearish below $3,332

Trade Setup: Short from resistance zones targeting liquidity areas below.
