XAUUSD Gold Swing Trading Plan – 1st Week of August 2025 (H4 TF)

Strategy Type: Swing Trade (Multi-Day Positioning)
Timeframe: H4 (4-hour)
Market Bias: Bullish Continuation
Risk Profile: Medium-to-Low Frequency, High Conviction
Trade Style: Buy-the-Dip, Scale-out Strategy

🧠 Macro & Technical Outlook
Gold is currently maintaining a bullish higher-high, higher-low structure on the H4 chart, reflecting continued strength from macro drivers including inflation hedging, softening USD, and a shift toward safe-haven assets amid geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

The market has recently completed a local impulse wave and is entering a healthy retracement phase. This sets up a textbook swing opportunity, where pullbacks to key Fibonacci levels can be capitalised for the next bullish leg up.

🔍 H4 Trading Plan Summary
✅ Phase 1: Buy on Pullback to 3360
Entry Zone: 3360 (H4 support and key retracement level)

Reasoning:

Confluence of dynamic support and 50–61.8% Fibonacci retracement zone of the previous H4 swing

Former resistance turned support (RBS zone)

Volume tapering and RSI cooling off — signalling a healthy setup for bullish continuation

Entry Trigger:

Bullish engulfing or pin bar candle on H4

Optional confirmation: RSI > 40 after bounce, MACD crossover

Stop Loss: Below 3340 (beneath structural support)

🎯 Target 1: 3383
Why:

Local resistance zone from previous H4 rejection wick

Close to psychological level and good zone for first partial profit

Action:

Secure 25% profits

Move SL to breakeven or +10 pips for risk-free continuation

Wait for next retracement

✅ Phase 2: Wait for Pullback After 3383
Retracement Zone: Estimated dip to 3370–3375 (higher low area)

Entry Trigger:

Confirmation of strong bounce at this level with tight consolidation and breakout on smaller timeframes (M30/H1)

🎯 Target 2: 3430
Why:

Strong historical resistance from early July

Mid-level of long-term range (3330–3480)

Often serves as decision point between accumulation or breakout

Action:

Secure additional 40–50% profits

Trail SL below the most recent higher low (~3390)

✅ Phase 3: Final Position Hold Toward 3475
Retracement Zone: Likely dip to 3410–3420 after 3430 is reached

Final Entry (Optional): Only if momentum is strong and structure holds

Target 3: 3475

Why:

Multi-month resistance and projected upside target from recent breakout

Round number magnet + liquidity zone for larger institutional exits

Action:

Close remaining 25–30% of the position

Reassess for breakout or reversal at 3475

⚠️ Risk Management Plan
Max exposure: 1.5–2% of account

Stop losses fixed — no averaging down

Use position sizing to handle swing duration volatility

Scale-in only with structure confirmation

🔁 Summary Table
Phase Buy Level Target SL Action
Phase 1 3360 3383 3340 Partial TP, BE SL
Phase 2 3370–3375 3430 3355–3365 Add size, secure more
Phase 3 3410–3420 3475 3390 Final TP, full exit

📊 Indicators to Watch (H4)
RSI: Look for 40–60 zone bounce and push toward 70

MACD: Cross above signal line confirms momentum

Volume: Increased buy-side volume at 3360–3375 confirms entry strength

🧭 Fundamental Considerations
Watch DXY: Weakness in Dollar continues to support Gold’s uptrend

FOMC or Jobs Data Ahead?: Any surprise comments from Fed could introduce volatility

Global Headlines: Risk-off flows (e.g., China/US tensions, war news) are bullish for Gold
