Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gold Ounce about to break out?
The breakout probability at the top of this page is Flicker's live read on how likely XAU is to make a decisive move, along with the direction it's leaning — bullish, bearish, or neutral. It's scored from current market conditions and updates as new candles form. Treat a high probability as a stronger setup to watch, not a certainty.
What is a breakout in trading?
A breakout is when an asset moves decisively beyond an established support or resistance level, often marking the start of a stronger move in that direction. Traders watch breakouts because they can signal the beginning of a new trend. Flicker doesn't wait for the move — it scores how likely Gold Ounce is to break out and which way it's leaning.
How do you know if a Gold Ounce breakout is real?
A real breakout holds beyond the level and follows through on rising volume, while a false breakout (or 'fakeout') pushes past briefly and then snaps back. Flicker estimates XAU's false-breakout risk as its own metric next to the breakout probability, and that risk rises when volume doesn't confirm the move, volatility is extreme, or momentum is weak or diverging.
How does Flicker calculate XAU's breakout probability?
The probability, from 0 to 100, is a composite of eight market components — structure, momentum, volume, volatility, proximity to key levels, market cycle, trend alignment, and liquidity — weighted for current conditions. Flicker then discounts it by the false-breakout risk, so a shaky setup scores lower even when the raw signals look strong. It's a model-based estimate for comparing setups, not a guarantee.
What do the direction bias and supporting factors tell me?
The direction bias — Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral — is Flicker's read on which way XAU is most likely to break, weighing trend, momentum, and money flow. Alongside it, plain-language supporting factors (like 'Volume confirms price action') and warning factors (like 'High false-breakout risk') explain why the score looks the way it does, so you're not trusting a number blindly.
