BUY XAUUSD – 4982.42

Technically the XAUUSD price formed an Asian‑session false breakout below the recent high, immediately retested and created an equal high/low sweep pattern on very high volume, confirming aggressive buying pressure; the OBV indicator showed a conflict that often precedes a continuation move. On the H4 chart the setup scored 43 % bullish, and despite a bearish bias on longer timeframes the short‑term structure remained intact, allowing a clean entry at 4982.42 with a stop just below the swing low at 4970.92. Fundamentally, the US dollar is under rebalancing pressure, core inflation is moderating and the Fed’s rate path is uncertain, all of which boost gold’s safe‑haven appeal. Recent broker forecasts target $6,100‑$6,300 and the metal has held above the critical $5,000 support, indicating further upside potential. The confluence of a strong technical sweep and supportive macro sentiment justifies a high‑conviction long position with defined risk.
