XAUT coiling under 4,350: buy the dip for a push toward 4,368 within 24 hours

Bias next 24h: Mildly bullish with upside follow‑through if 4,350 breaks; base case is a drift back toward 4,338–4,358 with a breakout attempt to 4,368–4,372.
Optimal plan: Buy a pullback toward the 4,298–4,305 support cluster; target 4,368 area (front‑running R2 and prior supply). Invalidation for the thesis lies under 4,264 (23.6% Fib and projected S2), though tight trading stops would sit a bit above that.

Daily trend: Since the Nov 17 swing low (3,989) XAUT has printed higher lows and higher highs, reclaiming and holding the 20/50‑day moving averages. The rhythm of pullbacks has been shallow, consistent with an advancing trend.
Recent behaviour: Dec 11–12 produced a range expansion (close > 4,270, spike to 4,349). The last three daily sessions (Dec 13–15 intraday) show small real bodies clustered around 4,300–4,310, i.e., digestion near the top of the range rather than rejection—constructive for continuation.
Hourly structure (Dec 15): Push to 4,350.9 in the European morning, fade to 4,298, then stabilization around 4,305–4,315. That sequence is a classic intraday bull flag: impulse, pullback on declining momentum, base above prior breakout zone.

20‑day SMA: ~4,230–4,240 and rising; price at 4,305 sits above and has respected it on dips since late Nov.
50‑day SMA: ~4,170–4,190 and rising; wide cushion below, confirming an established upswing.
200‑day SMA: ~4,080–4,120 (approx.); price well above, confirming long‑term uptrend.
10‑day EMA: ~4,275–4,285; price > 10‑EMA with shallow mean reversion—momentum positive.
ADX (14) qualitative take: Rising into the low/mid‑20s after the early‑Dec expansion, signalling a strengthening trend rather than a rangebound market.

RSI(14) daily estimated in high‑50s to low‑60s: bullish but not overbought, leaving room for further upside.
Stochastic RSI (daily) hovering in upper mid‑range, consistent with a trending instrument that just cooled from a thrust.
Williams %R (14) likely between −20 and −40: near upper regime but not at extremes—room to tag resistance again.
MACD (12,26,9): Histogram positive and widening post Dec 11; signal line above zero—supports buy‑the‑dip psychology.

ATR(14) daily: ~40–60 handles; a 1–1.5% daily swing is typical. A 60‑point objective in 24h is realistic if momentum resumes.
Bollinger Bands (20,2): Middle ~4,235; upper ~4,315–4,330. Price oscillates near/above the upper band, reflecting trend persistence. Band expansion since Dec 11 indicates volatility rising in trend direction.
Keltner Channel (20,2*ATR): Price riding the upper Keltner on impulses, a classic signature of a healthy advance.
Donchian 20‑day: High ~4,349 (Dec 12), low ~4,099–4,110 (late Nov). Trading at the upper quartile denotes control by buyers.

Volume profile: Heavy acceptance 4,190–4,220; rising participation on up days since Nov 24, lighter on pullbacks—bullish skew.
OBV: Rising since late Nov, confirming price. No distributive divergence visible in the recent advance.
Intraday VWAP (today): Centered around ~4,310. Price reclaiming/hovering just below VWAP into the US afternoon often precedes a late‑session/next‑session test of the morning high.

Immediate resistance: 4,350–4,351 (today’s high and a visible liquidity shelf); above that 4,371–4,375 (projected R2) and 4,390–4,400 (mid‑Oct high cluster and psychological supply).
Immediate support: 4,298–4,305 (intraday low + round number + prior base); then 4,284–4,286 (projected S1 from pivot math) and 4,264–4,266 (23.6% Fib from 3,989→4,349 and projected S2).
Structural support: 4,250–4,255 (late‑Nov resistance turned support) and 4,211–4,221 (value area from Nov 28–Dec 5).

Ascending triangle on the daily/4h: Flat resistance at ~4,350 with rising swing lows from 4,194→4,298. Breaks from such structures typically retest the lid and project a measured move equal to the height of the base (~150 handles), implying 4,500 over a multi‑day horizon. Within 24h, the first leg commonly reaches R2/R3 bands (4,368–4,390).
Intraday bull flag: The 4,350→4,298 pullback retraced roughly 38–50% of the morning thrust and held above the prior breakout area—continuation‑friendly behavior.

Swing Nov 17 low (3,989) to Dec 12 high (4,349):
- 23.6% = ~4,264; 38.2% = ~4,186. Price held the shallow 23.6% during the latest dip—strong trend behavior.
Classic pivots for the next session (using today’s H/L/C: 4,350.9 / 4,297.6 / 4,305.1):
- Pivot P ≈ 4,317.9; R1 ≈ 4,338.2; R2 ≈ 4,371.2; S1 ≈ 4,284.8; S2 ≈ 4,264.6.
- Current price (4,305) sits just below P, biasing a mean‑reversion push toward P then R1; if momentum unlocks, R2 is the magnet.

Price > Kumo; Tenkan > Kijun; future Kumo tilting up. Pullbacks toward Tenkan (low 4,29x) are getting bought—bullish continuation regime.

From 4,194 base: wave (1) to ~4,282, (2) to ~4,206, (3) to ~4,349, (4) to ~4,298, and present micro (5) targets 4,368–4,390 (0.618–1.0 extension of wave 1 from wave 4). Aligns with pivot‑based R2.

Using ATR(14) ≈ 50 and placing it around the pivot stack:
- Upside band: 4,317.9 + 50 ≈ 4,368 (coincides with R2).
- Downside band: 4,317.9 − 50 ≈ 4,268 (near Fib 23.6% and S2).
Probability skew (qualitative): Up 55%, Sideways 30%, Down 15% given trend health, OBV confirmation, and repeated tests of 4,350 without decisive rejection.

Entry logic: Seek a pullback buy near 4,298–4,305 where intraday demand reappeared and where S1/round‑number confluence sits. That improves risk‑reward versus chasing the 4,350 lid.
Target logic: First objective 4,338–4,358 (R1/overhead supply), stretch target 4,368–4,372 (R2 and measured micro‑extension). We set take profit at 4,368 to capture the expansion while front‑running resting liquidity into R2.
Invalidation: A decisive break and hourly close below 4,284 opens a tag of 4,264; losing 4,264 would threaten the short‑term bullish structure. For tactical risk, a stop in the 4,279–4,283 pocket is sensible, though not required by this task.

Bearish shift if: Price fails at 4,350 again with increasing volume and closes below 4,284, turning today’s pullback into a lower‑high failure. That would pivot the 24h bias to neutral/down toward 4,264–4,250.
Bullish acceleration if: Clean hourly close above 4,351 followed by acceptance over 4,358; then 4,371–4,390 comes into play quickly.

Base case: Mean‑reversion to pivot (4,318) and push toward R1 (4,338), with a breakout attempt into 4,360–4,372. Buy dips, not breakouts.
Actionable levels:
- Buy zone: 4,298–4,305.
- Take profit: 4,368 (front‑run R2).
