Multi-Timeframe Structure — XAUUSD

Monthly (Macro Context)

Gold is in a clear uptrend since October 2023. Each monthly close above the previous month's high keeps the structure intact. The $3,000 psychological level has flipped from resistance to support — a bullish long-term signal.

Weekly (Swing Context)

Consolidating between $3,140 (weekly demand) and $3,260 (weekly supply). Price is making higher lows on the weekly — ascending triangle forming. Expected resolution: upside break toward $3,300.

Daily (Trade Context)

Clean daily range: $3,188 to $3,230. Today's candle is forming above the 20-day MA ($3,195) — short-term bias bullish. Daily RSI at 54, neutral but curling up.

4H (Entry Context)

4H structure is in an accumulation phase after last week's liquidity sweep below $3,175. Current move looks like a buildup before a breakout. Watching for a 4H close above $3,222 to confirm bullish continuation.
