Inputs: DXY=108.45 (strong dollar pressure), VIX=16.2 (elevated), US10Y=4.58% (hawkish Fed priced in)

Directional Bias

  • Bias: Neutral-to-Long (conditional)
  • Confidence: Medium
  • Rationale: Gold in consolidation after recent markdown. Accumulation phase near 2680 demand suggests smart money building positions. Break above 2705 signals markup continuation to 2715 supply. Failure below 2680 triggers cascade to 2665.

Action Zones

|-------|-------|---------|-----|-----|----||
| 🟒 Long | 2682-2687 | Bullish engulfing at D1 | 2705 | 2715 | 2675 |
| πŸ”΄ Short | 2710-2715 | Bearish rejection at S1 | 2690 | 2680 | 2720 |
| βšͺ Breakout Long | 2706 | Strong close above R1 | 2720 | 2735 | 2695 |

Momentum View

"Gold coiling in accumulation phase; buy dips to 2680 demand, but respect 2715 supply zone where sell-stops await liquidation before next leg."


When momentum aligns, we move.
