Technical analysis by SupertradeOfficial about Symbol PAXG: Sell recommendation (7/17/2025)

📉 XAUUSD 1H Bearish Analysis – July 17, 2025 Gold (XAUUSD) is showing clear signs of bearish momentum on the 1-hour chart. After forming a local high around the $3,346–$3,347 region, price was sharply rejected and has since maintained a lower high structure. This rejection came right after the London session began, confirming that institutional volume is likely favoring the downside for now. The previous few sessions show multiple failed attempts to break above the $3,346–$3,365 range. Sellers are consistently stepping in near those zones, marking a strong supply area. Meanwhile, recent candles have broken below the intraday support around $3,327.74, showing bearish continuation is underway. Session activity is also in favor of the bears. The current London session opened weak, following a failure to hold above the previous session highs. Typically, gold experiences volatility during London and New York overlaps, and given the current structure, the pressure seems tilted to the downside. From a broader perspective, the lower highs and lower lows on the 1-hour chart confirm a short-term downtrend. Price is now hovering just above $3,319 support—if this level is taken out cleanly with volume, it opens the path to deeper targets. ________________________________________ 📌 Trading Setup (Short Bias) •Entry: $3,327.74 (breakdown zone) •Stop-loss: $3,346.29 (above last supply rejection) •Take-Profit 1: $3,319.69 •Take-Profit 2: $3,311.62 •Take-Profit 3: $3,296.28 •Take-Profit 4 (extended): $3,282.66 ________________________________________ If price manages to hold below $3,328 with consecutive rejections on any pullback, this bearish thesis remains valid. A breakdown below $3,311 would likely trigger momentum-driven selling toward $3,296 and potentially $3,282. However, any 1H close back above $3,346 would invalidate the current setup and favor a temporary bullish retracement.
