XAUUSD — 4,305 Test Before 4,355?
Gold is still moving inside a strong bullish structure.
After holding the lower demand areas and building a clean recovery, price pushed higher and is now trading near the short-term resistance around 4,305.
The trend is still positive.
But after a strong move, I do not want to chase the top.
The simple read
Gold is currently trading around 4,280 - 4,290.
The first important resistance is 4,305.
If buyers break and hold above 4,305, the next upside reaction zone becomes 4,355.
This 4,355 area is important because it aligns with the Fibo extension sell reaction zone.
But if gold rejects from 4,305, a pullback may appear first.
The nearest reaction support is 4,265.
If 4,265 fails, price may retest the 4,223 support zone.
Below that, 4,188 remains a stronger OB Buy / reaction zone.

Trading plan
Bullish continuation scenario
If gold breaks and holds above 4,305:
The bullish structure remains strong.
Buyers may try to continue toward 4,355.
A clean breakout or retest above 4,305 would make the continuation setup healthier.
Pullback scenario
If gold rejects from 4,305:
Price may pull back toward 4,265 first.
This would not immediately cancel the bullish view.
It may simply be a normal correction after a strong rally.
If buyers defend 4,265, gold may attempt another push higher.
Deeper support scenario
If 4,265 breaks clearly:
The next supports to watch are 4,223 and 4,188.
The 4,188 area is more important because it is the main OB Buy / reaction zone.
A clean reaction from this area may support a stronger recovery later.
