[FOREX TIP] XAUUSD Price Action Analysis – 25th Jan 2018

XAUUSD has been having a strong Buy trend on the H4 chart. Today’s price action has been bullish so far. The current H4 candle seems very strong to make a breakout at a very significant level of Resistance. If that happens and we get an H1 Engulfing Bullish candle afterwards, then buying the pair would get us some green pips later today. Let us have a look at the H1 XAUUSD chart….

XAUUSD Price Action Analysis – 25th Jan 2018

Have a look at the price action on this chart. The price made an H1 breakout at 1361.60. We are waiting for the current H4 candle to be finished, and then it would be an H4 breakout. After that, if the price comes back at the breakout level and produces an H1 Engulfing Bullish Candle, then the XAUUSD price should reach the level of 1375.90 without having that many pauses. Let us have a look at the summary of the trade…

  • Stop loss: 1355.45
