XAU (H45) – Liam from LA_Trader_Fx takes a look at OANDA:XAUUSD — TradingView

Gold reacts to demand as geopolitical risks rise

Gold is stabilizing near the 4745 demand area, where prices reacted from an ascending trendline after a corrective decline. The current structure suggests a short-term rebound, with buyers defending value rather than continuing to sell aggressively.

From a macro perspective, escalating tensions between the United States and Iran – particularly risks around the Strait of Hormuz, a major global oil route – have increased geopolitical uncertainty. Historically, this risk environment has tended to support safe-haven demand, limiting downward pressure on gold prices while volatility expands.

Technical structure (from chart)

Main buying area: 4745 (trendline + order harmonics)

Immediate Resistance/Liquidity: 5000 – 5100 (Buy Liquidity)

Upper ratio imbalance (FVG): 5250 – 5300

Main view: 5575 (sell area on higher time frames)

Holding the price above $4,745 can keep the bullish scenario active with a possible move towards $5,000-5,100 to rebalance liquidity. Acceptance above this zone will open the way to the FVG zone, where a selling reaction is expected.

Failure to hold 4745 points will invalidate the short-term bullish argument and start a downward exploration again.
