Gold (XAUUSD) Counter-Trend Setup – Liquidity Grab Before Continuation?

Overall market structure is bearish, so ideally I’m looking for sell opportunities.

However, there’s a clear pool of liquidity resting above, and price is currently reacting from a strong support/demand zone.

My idea here is a short-term counter-trend move:
→ Price may push up to take buy-side liquidity (swing high)
→ Then potentially continue the overall downtrend

Entry: Reaction from demand zone
Stop Loss: Below the zone
Target: Swing high (liquidity)

This is a higher-risk setup since it goes against the trend, so risk management is key.

Curious to hear your thoughts — would you take this or wait for continuation shorts?

Running Trade

Logic:
FIB tool used to mark PD Arrays and Central Zone
Price was at premium zone - Formed Shooting star pattern

2 confluence in place - 1) Premium zone 2) Bearish Candlestick Pattern

One rule - Only sell when the price is in Premium Zone and if the price is in discount zone - Buy

SL above the Doji
Target at the low of past move

Current status - 50+ Pips

Gold (XAUUSD) Long After IFVG Reaction – About to HIT my Target

This was a clean IFVG reaction trade on gold.
Price initially broke below a 15m FVG, but quickly reclaimed it — showing potential manipulation.
After that, price consolidated and printed a strong hammer candle, confirming buyers stepping in. I entered at the close of the hammer, targeting buy-side liquidity (BSL) resting above. Stop loss was placed just below the hammer candle (tight risk due to multiple reactions at FVG).

My Plan for my Next Trade - XAU/USD

As the title says, let me explain the logic behind the Trade

Price is near Buy Side Liquidity, Couple of Liquidity levels are near by, I think, price will most likely to sweep the liquidity and continue it's Trend Downward as Higher time frame bias is Bearish
Once I see price is approaching towards a sweep, I will switch to lower time frame at 5mn and observe the candle stick pattern and if I see Bearish Pattern Formation - I will enter the trade

SL above the Sweep
1st Target at FVG Zone
2nd Target at Rejection Block downside

Anyone, who is expert - I would like to invite you to roast my idea and correct me if I'm wrong
