This is my weekly outlook on GOLD. The levels that I will be looking at with a higher probabilistic chance the market will start reacting. During the session I then wait for the market to hit those levels and either confirm or reject my bias through price action confirmation and order flow. I hope that makes sense. If not, please get in touch with me. I love to talk to people that are on the same path as me. So don’t be shy and reach out.

D1 QLo rejected and price is trading mid swing
Sentiment summary – Bearish
MN has made a HH and is currently trading above last month’s body although price is coming from a QHi rejection and there is still a lot of congestion in the way.
W1 QHi rejected and even though price formed a Bear Engulf there was no follow-through, instead a bullish inside bar that closed within supply. There could be a continuation to the move but price would need to take out supply first for confirmation. Otherwise price might still be range bound.
There was a consolidation with longer buying wicks just below almost taking out supply followed by no follow-through. Even though price broke down it’s somewhat of a weak pattern. In lack of any bullish signs (yet) the bearish sentiment prevails.
