Gold (XAUUSD) is holding above the lower resistance after the recent breakout, with price now approaching the major resistance/POI around 4,430–4,450.

The softer DXY is continuing to support the bullish move, but this zone could be critical for the next direction.

Key scenarios:-
A clean break above 4,450 could trigger a liquidity sweep and further upside.

- A rejection could lead to a pullback and retest before the next bullish leg.

I’m watching the reaction around 4,430–4,450 closely for confirmation.

What do you expect next — liquidity sweep or pullback retest?
 
I’d wait for confirmation here rather than chase the breakout. The 4,430–4,450 area has already shown rejection, so a pullback-retest looks possible. If gold can break and hold above 4,450, then continuation would look much stronger to me.
 
4,430–4,450 looks like the key zone. If gold breaks and holds above it, continuation makes sense. Otherwise, I’d expect a pullback before the next move.
