Gold (XAU/USD) continues to follow our established technical roadmap, successfully completing a high-volatility corrective phase. While the intraday retracement extended slightly beyond the primary support levels yesterday, the price action has maintained the integrity of the projected bullish structure, confirming a significant bottoming process near the $4,880 zone.
Structural Validation: The Deeper Sweep
The latest M15 data reveals that the market executed a deeper liquidity grab than initially anticipated, piercing through the $5,000 psychological level to tap into high-volume demand near $4,880. Despite this intensified sell-off, the rapid “V-shape” rejection seen in the early Friday session validates our ‘Green Path’ thesis. The sweep effectively neutralized late-joining buyers and tapped into institutional buy-side liquidity.
Current Projection: Reclaiming the $5,000 Handle
Following the successful defense of the lower support cluster, the price is now initiating a recovery wave. The immediate technical objective is a reclaim and consolidation above the $5,000 mark. The current momentum suggests that the market is transitioning from a liquidation phase back into an accumulation phase, with eyes set on the overhead supply zones.
- Recovery Path: The primary trajectory (teal arrow) points toward an initial target of $5,040, followed by a secondary expansion toward the $5,100 resistance.
- Trend Confluence: The 20 and 50 EMAs are currently acting as dynamic resistance, but a crossover at these levels will serve as the final confirmation for the next impulsive leg up.
