Double Top & Bottom Pattern

76% accuracy

The double top/bottom is a reversal pattern that signals exhaustion at key support or resistance levels. When gold tests a level twice and fails to break through, it often reverses sharply — providing high-reward entries with tight stops.

SMC Liquidity Traps

79% accuracy

Smart Money Concepts (SMC) identify where institutional traders hunt retail stop losses. When gold sweeps a liquidity pool (taking out obvious stops) then immediately reverses, it signals smart money has filled its orders — giving us a high-probability counter-entry.

Bullish Trap (Sell-side liquidity sweep)

Entry
After sweep + displacement
Stop Loss
Below sweep low
Take Profit
1:3+ R:R

Bearish Trap (Buy-side liquidity sweep)

Bullish Flag Pattern

69% accuracy

A bullish flag forms after a sharp upward impulse (the "pole") followed by a tight consolidation channel that slopes slightly downward (the "flag"). The breakout above the flag typically continues the prior move with similar momentum.

Key identification

Look for a strong impulse move (3%+ in gold), followed by a tight descending channel on lower timeframes. Volume should decrease during the flag and spike on breakout.

Pro tip

The measured move target equals the height of the pole projected from the breakout point. Use this as your TP3 — it hits more often than you'd expect on gold.

Bullish Flag Execution

Entry
Break above flag
Stop Loss
Below flag low

🎯

Be selective

Not every double top is a trade. Wait for confluence — session timing, key levels, and momentum confirmation.
