Institutional gold long setup — Smart Money Concepts: 1H Break of Structure (bullish BOS = smart money has confirmed higher highs) + unmitigated bullish FVG on 15m (imbalance gap = institutional order block entry zone) + price in HTF discount zone (below 50% of recent swing = optimal entry per ICT). This is the exact setup ICT traders call 'BOS + FVG retracement entry'. Price mitigates the FVG, smart money accumulates, and the trend continues. Stop: below the FVG (the imbalance zone). Target: prior swing high / 52W high.
Pure ICT long: 1H bullish BOS + unmitigated bullish FVG. Multi-TF structure shift on gold using Bybit XAUUSDT klines. Best when killzone active and 4H zone is discount.
bos_1h == bullish + unmitigated_fvg_count_bull ≥ 1 + 4H zone.
