Brother, I'll really be confident when the price breaks through the low or high of this consolidation, because this is looking bad haha

Long positions in gold on OANDA. I checked other data on other brokers (the ones I could see for free, haha) and in all of them, there was a massive amount of long positions in the 4990-5010 range, around there. Considering that retail investors always lose lol, what can we expect perhaps?
EDIT:Also adding the number of lots and long and short positions according to myfxbook. But overall, there are many long orders at the moment, and one more factor: many pending sell orders positioned below 4980-4950.

Setup 1: fade the bounce

Entry zone: 5,008–5,025
SL: 5,046
TP1: 4,990
TP2: 4,968
TP3: 4,948

Why:
that area is the nearest intraday premium zone, and unless price can hold above it, rallies still look sellable.
Setup 2: breakdown continuation

Entry: clean break below 4,989
SL: 5,012
TP1: 4,968
TP2: 4,950
TP3: 4,940

Why:
below 4,990 the market is likely reaching for clustered stops.
Bullish invalidation
I would start backing off the bearish idea if gold:

reclaims 5,030
holds above it
and starts printing stronger 1H closes toward 5,045–5,060

If that happens, then the market is no longer just sitting heavy — it may be starting a squeeze back into overhead imbalance.
Clean thread-group version
XAUUSD 1H update for March 18:
Gold is still trading heavy around the 5,000 pivot. Price action remains compressed and weak under nearby intraday supply, with no real bullish displacement yet. The macro backdrop is still mixed: Middle East risk supports safe-haven demand, but oil-driven inflation is keeping the Fed side cautious, which is limiting upside. As long as gold stays below 5,030–5,045, the cleaner read is still sell rallies and watch for a liquidity sweep below 4,990 toward 4,968.

Is weird they only move 25% today...
However only with a break now above the high today i shift bullish.
Like yesterday this is a tipical mitigation but at same time means market didn't decide yet where to go.

i believe in the next days we will see 45XX area, maybe below.
i hope i will find a place to sell that will feel comfortable with it, when it range like that its impossible

If this bull was a stop hunt can work, who sell in 1st place....
To me can go further too, if we go bearish i like to see the 1st break not beeing mitigated immediatly...
But at least an average i expect to happen.
