XAUUSD SMC Setup: Rejection at 4,129 → Eyes on 4,179
Gold Spot / USD
Timeframe: 30 minutes
Current Price: 4,151.46
Recent action: Big rally up to ∼4,179.12, then a sharp pullback
2. Key Zones Marked
Demand Zone: Gray box ∼4,129.15 to 4,138.75
This is where price previously had buying interest. The chart shows price dipping into it and starting to react.
Target Zone: Light blue box ∼4,160 to 4,179
The arrow projects price reclaiming and moving back toward the prior highs near 4,179.12
3. What the setup is suggesting - SMC style
Price swept down, tapped demand, and is now trying to form a reversal/bounce.
If demand holds, the bias would be long toward 4,160 → 4,170 → 4,179.12
The lightning bolt + US flag at 18:00 likely marks high-impact USD news, which probably caused the volatility and the drop into demand.
4. Levels to watch
Support: 4,129.15 and 4,138.75. A daily/4H close below this would invalidate the bounce idea.
Immediate resistance: 4,155, then 4,160, then 4,170
Major resistance: 4,179.12 recent high
5. Risk reminder
This is just chart analysis, not financial advice. News-driven moves in gold can be fast and wicky. Always consider risk management and your own strategy.
