Start with the weekly chart

Gold respects weekly structure more than any other timeframe. Mark the last three swing highs and lows — these are your liquidity magnets.

Equal highs and lows on W1 are not accidents. They represent resting orders that smart money will target before reversing.

Once weekly bias is set, use daily order blocks only in the direction of that bias.

Key Takeaway

Apply one concept from this article in your next session. Small, consistent improvements compound faster than consuming ten articles without action.
