L5.1 — Case Study: Clean Bullish BOS on H4 Gold

This case study walks through a high-quality bullish BOS setup on the H4 gold chart. Daily context: XAUUSD in a confirmed uptrend with a pullback in progress. DXY showing early signs of a downward reversal. H4: price has pulled back to a pre-marked demand zone at a previous structural support. H1: a BOS of the most recent internal swing high confirms that the pullback has ended and the bullish structure is resuming.

Entry on the H1 BOS candle close. Stop below the H4 demand zone with 25-pip buffer. Target at the daily structural high. Position size calculated from the stop distance at 1% risk. This is a three-timeframe aligned setup with macro support — an A-grade gold opportunity.

Six-step case study walkthrough from D1 bias to exit result.
Case Study: Bullish BOS on GoldD1 bullish. H4 BOS at 1924. Retest holds. Stop 1910 (-140 pips). Target 1948 (+240 pips). R:R 1.71:1.

The post-trade review: what happened after entry, how the trade was managed at the first H4 resistance level, and whether the full target was reached or whether a partial exit at 1R and trail was the better management choice given the structure between entry and target.
