@MichaelS33 on XAUUSD | PriceONN Community

@MichaelS33 I hear you man. It's tough to know if these moves are real or just traps for us retail guys. That Friday close was a bit strange, kind of flat after some earlier volatility. I'm leaning towards caution myself next week. That Iran oil news is definitely something to watch; if tensions keep rising, gold might get a safe haven bid, but then again, if the USD strengthens because the US economy looks solid, that could push gold down. It's a tricky balance. I might sit out the first hour or two on Monday just to see how things shake out.

I agree with @MichaelS33. This choppy action feels like a trap. The RSI is still well into oversold territory on the H4, but that doesn't guarantee a bounce. I'd be very cautious about chasing any quick moves up from here.
