XAUUSD BUY SETUP 12 FEB 2026

Gold (XAUUSD) – 15M Ascending Structure with Bullish Breakout Setup

Gold is currently trading inside a short-term compression structure following a strong impulsive move upward. Price action has formed a rising wedge/ascending triangle within a broader bullish channel, suggesting accumulation before the next expansion.

Market Structure

Higher lows maintained inside ascending trendlines

Compression toward the apex of the triangle

Repeated rejections from the 5,080–5,100 resistance zone

Key Levels

Resistance: 5,100 → 5,135 (major supply zone)

Breakout Target: 5,155–5,160Support: 5,060 → 5,050

Major Support: 5,000 psychological level

Bullish Scenario
A confirmed breakout above 5,100 opens the path toward the 5,135 supply zone. Sustained momentum above that area could trigger continuation toward 5,155+.

Bearish Scenario
Failure to hold 5,060 support may lead to a sweep of 5,050 liquidity and potentially a deeper retracement toward 5,000.

Volume expansion and strong candle closes outside of the compression will be key for confirmation.
