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?
