Main scenario: consider long positions from corrections above the level of 2145.48 with a target of 2250.00 – 2350.50.
Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation below the level of 2145.48 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 2078.95 – 2024.78.
Analysis: a descending correction appears to have formed as the fourth wave (4) of larger degree on the daily chart. The fifth wave (5) is unfolding, with the first wave 3 of (5) forming as its part. Apparently, the first wave of smaller degree i of 3 is forming on the H4 time frame, with a corrective wave (iv) of i completed as its part. Wave (v) of i presumably continues developing on the H1 time frame; as its part, wave iii of (v) formed, a local correction finished unfolding as wave iv of (v), and wave v of (v) is developing. If the presumption is correct, the XAUUSD pair will continue to rise to the levels of 2250.00 – 2350.50 The level of 2145.48 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue falling to the levels of 2078.95 – 2024.78.
