Why I Took This Buy Trade (XAU/USD)
Every trade should be backed by a clear plan not emotions. Here's the logic behind my buy setup.
🔹 On the 1H timeframe, the market formed a strong Bullish Break of Structure (BOS), confirming that buyers had regained control and the overall market bias had shifted to bullish. Once the higher timeframe aligned, I focused only on looking for buy opportunities.
🔹 After the BOS, price created a Bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG). Instead of chasing the impulsive move, I marked the FVG as a potential institutional demand zone and patiently waited for price to retrace.
🔹 As expected, price returned to the FVG and respected the zone. I then switched to the 5-minute timeframe to look for lower timeframe confirmation before executing my entry.
🔹 Once buyers showed strength on the 5M chart, I entered the trade with a predefined stop loss and a favorable Risk-to-Reward ratio.
