XAUUSD on the 4H is compressing inside a clean symmetrical triangle after completing a corrective structure where price respected both trendlines perfectly showing strong buildup of pressure as buyers continue to defend higher lows while sellers cap the highs and this type of consolidation often leads to an explosive breakout with momentum favoring an upside continuation if price holds above support and confirms a bullish break and retest toward the upper trendline opening the path for a measured expansion move toward the next major resistance area while risk remains defined below the triangle base.
