Some charts look clean until the dollar starts moving hard. When DXY accelerates, gold and major FX pairs can react in ways that ignore smaller technical levels.
Before taking a setup, I like checking whether the dollar is trending, ranging, or reacting to yields. If the dollar is pushing strongly, I reduce size or wait for a clearer retest.
A trade can be technically valid and still have poor timing if the macro driver is active. That is why I prefer confirmation after the first move, especially around US session data.
