⚠️ Risk Factors

Before entering trades, consider these risks:

🔴 Factors That Could Invalidate the Plan
  • Fed Speech — Boston Fed hawkish → USD strength → deeper gold drop
  • USD Breaking Out — DXY breaching 108 will push gold below $4,460
  • New COT Report — Friday May 22 release · could change narrative
  • News Surprise — Geopolitical event could trigger risk-on rally
  • Break above $4,630 → Sell plan invalid immediately · Exit all trades
