XAUUSD H1: The Price Action Forecast for the Asian Session at 8.1.2026

During the previous trading session, the positive dynamics of the XAUUSD movement were seen. On a longer time-frame, the upward price movement vector also prevails.
The support and resistance levels:
The support level is near the 4396.21 mark.
The resistance level is near the 4500.39 mark.
The pattern formed here is Three Outside Bars Down. This pattern is a combination of three Japanese candlesticks. The first candlestick has a short white real body, the second candlestick has a long black real body and completely engulfs the first candlestick, and the third candlestick is also black, closing below the second candlestick.
Trading recommendations:
The upward dynamics prevail on a longer time period, but the short positions should be prioritized during the day because the latest signal suggests a dominant downward movement.
