Post-CPI Levels Check | BTC & XAU 4H
July CPI came in as expected:
👉+0.1% MoM | +3.4% YoY
👉Core +0.2% | +2.5% YoY
Softer print initially supported risk assets & gold, but the follow-through has been mixed.
🔴Bitcoin (4H) :
Current zone: $63,500–$63,600
🔸Prefer range trading until a clear break.
🔸Long only on a strong reclaim and 4H close above $64,000 with rising volume. Target $64,500–$65,000.
🔸Short opportunities on rejection from $64,000–$64,300 or if price loses $63,200. Next support $62,800–$62,500.
🔸Avoid FOMO longs below $64k — post-CPI momentum is weak.
️🏅Gold (XAUUSD 4H) :
Current zone: $4,385–$4,400
🔸Bias still bullish on dips.
🔸Best long entries: $4,360–$4,375 area (previous demand). Stop below $4,340.
🔸Break & hold above $4,400 opens $4,430 → $4,450+.
🔸Watch for USD strength in the first 1–2 hours of NY — it can create fakeouts on gold.
NY Session Rules :
⚡ First 60–90 minutes after NY open usually bring the real direction after Asia/London consolidation.
⚡ Size down — post-CPI days often have stop-hunts.
⚡ Focus on 4H close levels rather than tick-by-tick noise.
⚡ Correlate with DXY: stronger dollar = pressure on both BTC and gold short-term.
Stay disciplined. Levels > emotions.
