In this session, we walked through a full scalping approach on XAUUSD, combining:

* Price action

1️⃣ Market Bias on the 5-Minute Chart

We started on the M5 timeframe, where gold was trading:

* Below the 200-period Moving Average
* Showing broader bearish price flow
* Forming a downtrend structure
* Followed by a temporary reversal

This set the stage for sell setups, as price retested previous highs before rejecting downward again.

You could clearly see:

✔️ Lower highs
✔️ Lower lows
✔️ A developing sideways consolidation around the 200 MA

This zone became the main decision area for the session.

2️⃣ Identifying the Reaction Zones (A, B, C, D)

A repeated pattern formed along a support–resistance diagonal.

You pointed out the four main reaction points:

* A
* B
* C
* D

These created a line of best fit, showing how price consistently reacted at the same angle over the session.

This made the structure ideal for scalping rebounds and predicting momentum exhaustion.

3️⃣ Executing the First Sell Trade

Using the previous swing high and repeated formulation of the pattern, we took a short position, respecting:

* Market direction
* Price rejection
* 200 MA alignment
* Structure confirmation

This trade delivered 60 pips, in line with our daily goal.

Daily profit achieved: $12

Account cumulative gain: $51 → $63



4️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Confirmation

We switched across multiple timeframes:

### 🔹 M1 – For precise entries

We saw:

* A demand zone
* A liquidity sweep
* A bullish return from the zone

This justified shifting our position bias and setting a Buy Stop above the key reaction point.

### 🔹 M5 – For scalping structure

* Bears dominated earlier
* Bulls were now fighting back
* Consolidation was tightening
* Price was preparing for expansion

### 🔹 M15 – For medium-term bias

The chart showed:

* Strong downtrend
* Now transitioning into consolidation

### 🔹 H1 – Macro structure

The swing high: 420.42
The swing low: 4191.47

Price was fluctuating between these levels and preparing to retest the higher range.

This multi-timeframe perspective allowed for accurate direction forecasting.

5️⃣ The Final Buy Trade (And Why It Worked)

After the liquidity sweep on M1 and bullish resurgence, we entered a long position.

The trade aligned with:

* A strong demand zone

* A bullish engulfing reaction

* Multi-timeframe confirmation

* A repeated structural pattern

* Increasing bullish momentum

The bulls gained strength, pushing price upward toward our take-profit.

And finally — TP Hit.

🔥 Final profit for the day: $24

🔥 Account cumulative profit: $63

This ended our scalping session successfully.

6️⃣ A Quick Note on Risk Management

Like always:

✔️ Our stop loss was safely placed

✔️ We allowed the trade to breathe within the structure

✔️ We avoided over-leveraging

✔️ We followed the pattern, not emotions

✔️ The risk-reward was favorable

Risk management remains the difference between a trader and a gambler.
