📊 XAUUSD Volume-Based Long Setup 💰

Today’s Gold trade was a great example of how volume confirmation strengthens a price action setup.

After a clear structural shift to the upside, I noticed a volume spike coinciding with a strong bullish displacement candle — signaling that institutional activity was stepping in. The price retraced neatly into a low-volume pullback zone, aligning perfectly with an order block and fair value gap (FVG).

🔹 Entry: Taken after the retracement into the demand zone with volume contraction — confirming seller exhaustion. 🔹 Volume Confirmation: Notice how volume expanded again as price broke previous highs, validating bullish continuation. 🔹 Exit: Partials taken near the previous high as volume began to taper off — indicating reduced buying interest and potential pullback.
