Weekly Case Study – 01
Asset: Gold (XAU/USD)
Timeframe Observed: H1
Study Focus: Structural Continuation After Consolidation
Case Study Overview
During the observed session, gold price entered a narrow consolidation range after a prior directional move. Price action showed repeated rejection from lower levels, indicating absorption of selling pressure rather than aggressive downside continuation.
The study focused on how price behaved around a previous reaction zone, where market participation gradually increased.
Key Market Observations
Price respected an earlier structural base
Downside attempts failed to gain momentum
Candlestick behaviour suggested balance, not weakness
Market remained above the short-term structure reference
Analytical Insight
Instead of reacting impulsively, the market displayed controlled movement, often seen before continuation phases. This behaviour highlighted the importance of waiting for structure confirmation rather than anticipation.
Learning Outcome
This case study demonstrates how:
Consolidation does not imply reversal
Structure maintenance is more important than short-term volatility
Patience improves analytical clarity
Weekly Case Study – 02
Asset: Gold (XAU/USD)
Timeframe Observed: H1
Study Focus: Price Expansion from Demand Reaction Zone
Case Study Overview
In this instance, gold price reacted strongly from a previously tested demand area, showing swift recovery after a brief pullback. The move was not driven by sudden volatility but by gradual participation increase.
The focus of the study was to understand how price expansion develops after liquidity is absorbed.
Key Market Observations
Sharp rejection from lower prices
Momentum improved after structure alignment
Prior resistance acted as short-term support
Price movement remained orderly, not erratic
Analytical Insight
This behaviour reflects a typical re-accumulation to expansion model, where price first tests interest zones before moving away decisively. Such phases are best studied from a behavioural perspective, not predictive assumptions.
Learning Outcome
This case study highlights:
Why reactions matter more than levels
How liquidity absorption precedes expansion
The value of context over isolated candles
Closing Note
Both case studies are presented
solely to study market behaviour and price structure.
They are intended to improve understanding of how gold reacts around key areas
over a short-term horizon.
