XAU 4597: In the past 24 hours it fell 0.7%, trading at the lower half of today’s range. At the futures end, the主动卖盘 (active sell orders) account for 57%. Looking at it at a glance, it looks like the market is set to break down. But I’m not going to smash along with it.
What’s really interesting is the order book. Below the spot price, there’s a buy wall of 192 lots, while the sell wall is only 33 lots—depth is 5.8 times. With a wall this thick, the price still hasn’t been punched through. The low at 4572 is standing firmly under it. This drop isn’t because “someone is dumping”; it’s someone deliberately pressing it lower.
When you look at the futures and the whales, the direction becomes even clearer. Open interest was cut by 3.95% in a day, and the price only moved 0.7%—this leg of selling pressure is leveraged long positions getting shaken out, not fresh short positions entering. Over the past 7 hours, the whale accounts’ long/short ratio rose by 13.11%. The long position share is 63%, and the more it drops, the more long exposure is showing up. The fee rate is 0.0026%, hovering close to the zero line, and there’s no sign longs have crowded in to the point of getting squeezed.
My stance: go long. If it drops and gets caught by this buy wall, the big money is adding at the lows. I won’t bet on a breakdown; I’ll bet that it will retest that intraday high between 4636–4644. First target: 4645.
When will it reverse? When the buy wall gets consumed in one big gulp, when 4572 is lost, or when the whales’ long positions turn downward—that’s when there’s really no follow-through left, and I’ll flip. At this level, I’m only doing one thing: taking the trade. #xau $XAU
