XAUUSD Daily Sniper Plan – Monday, May 12, 2025“Structure First. Noise Later. Gold Moves Clean When You Do.” ⚖️🧠
Intraday Bias: Bullish, short-term recovery inside broader pullback
Structure: CHoCH confirmed at 3284 → market forming higher low structure
🔍 H1 Market Flow Overview:
Price broke structure above 3284–3292, forming a clean CHoCH on H1.
Since then, price impulsively pushed toward 3340, pausing around 3314–3318.
EMAs (5/21/50) are starting to align bullish, with EMA5 now crossing above 21.
Volume compression + wicks suggest potential accumulation in the 3314–3318 zone.
📌 Key H1 Zones (Above & Below Price)
🔺 Resistance Zones
Zone Description
3340–3345 Friday’s high + intraday liquidity trap zone
3380–3395 Strong H1/Daily confluence resistance (OB + FVG)
🔻 Support Zones
Zone Description
3314–3318 🔵 Micro liquidity pocket + HL accumulation zone – potential inducement/reentry base
3284–3292 🔵 CHoCH base – must hold for bullish structure to continue
3260–3265 🔵 Deep intraday OB + liquidity sweep zone
3220–3235 🔵 Major HTF demand – structural last line of defense
🔁 Scenarios for Monday (May 12):
🟢 Bullish Setup:
If price holds above 3314–3318, we may see a reattempt toward 3340, then potentially push into 3380–3395.
Retest of 3314 zone could serve as HL confirmation before breakout.
🔴 Bearish Setup:
If 3314 fails and price closes below 3284, this invalidates current bullish micro-structure.
In that case, we target 3260 or even 3235 depending on momentum.
Rejection from 3340 or 3380 without BOS → short toward 3284 or 3250
Clean break below 3284 flips LTF bearish
🎯 Sniper Logic:
Gold is trapped in a battle between Friday’s high and the CHoCH base.
The true breakout will come once either 3345 is reclaimed clean, or 3284 fails hard.
Until then, play inside structure — sniper entries only.
💬 Final Words:
Gold doesn’t bluff — but it does bait and trap.
Mark your zones, wait for confirmation, and let the impulsive ones get hunted.
Gold doesn’t care about your bias — only about the zones that hold.
If 3284 stays protected, bulls might reload. If it cracks, fade the optimism and follow the flow down.
🟡 Stay smart. Stay patient. And remember: clean structure = clean profit.
