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.

Monthly – Bearish
MN QHi rejected multiple times
Last month closed within MN consolidation although closed below 50% mark
Price still trading above MN-C-D 1741.655 that was created at MN VWAP in UT
Weekly – Neutral
W1 QHi rejected with no arrival at QLo although some demand was formed right above it and price continued higher slightly before consolidating.
Last week closed as a weak Bull Engulf
Daily – Bearish
D1 Three Outside Up giving D1-C-D 1800.832 just above D1 QLo with a continuation higher to D1-C-S 1826.301 reacting through a Bearish Inside Bar
D1 QLo was rejected
Sentiment summary – Bearish
MN QHi rejected multiple times although no break from MN consolidation yet. Last month could possibly be a base to set up for that break from range although more MN demand (coinciding with MN VWAP in UT) below it as well.
Even though W1 QHi got rejected through a big move there was no continuation, instead a pullback to mid swing followed by a consolidation. Price would need to break this consolidation range to further confirm a direction.
D1 QLo was rejected but price failed to take out the supply which is mid swing and instead saw a big reaction. So unless that gets taken out the sentiment is in line with larger timeframe sentiment and D1 QLo could get taken out.

Trading rules
Focus on taking ONE trade a day. If I missed the first DTTZ then a trade needs to be taken on the 2nd DTTZ unless there is a high/medium initiative activity day.
Only price-action based exit rules (or if hit time stop comes earlier)
M15/M30 entries and exits at 1st DTTZ, M5 entries and exits at 2nd DTTZ
Buffer trades (profit target >1R) are allowed and encouraged
Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
No social media / messenger apps / phone calls allowed during the trading window
Risk Management
Without forcing a trade: aim to take 1 trade a day, if possible 2.
Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
