I'm a Technical Analyst. Structures and Patterns are just one of many things i use in analyzing market behavior, but that's a cool name by the way. If seeing me that way, helps in understanding how i approach market, i'm very okay with it.
This is my Gold Mappings. Just to add to what you mentioned, Gold price is currently being driven by the strength of dollar. Hence, i'll only look out for zones and levels that closely corresponds with DXY zones and POIs. Macro data are not left out either. There are times that i'll analyze them independent of each other. all depends on Market behaviour and Economic factors.
