Events Covered: NFP, FOMC, CPI, major crash and recovery zones
Instrument: XAUUSD / Spot Gold
Verification Basis
This back-test reviews publicly visible Piyush Ratnu XAUUSD target zones, including January 2026 projection clusters of 4385 / 4444 / 4484 / 4505 / 4545 / 4585 / 4646 / 4848 / 4949 / 5050 / 5151 / 5252 / 5353 / 5454 / 5555 and downside zones 4242 / 4185 / 4141 / 4085 / 4040 / 3985 / 3939. These levels were published as key price zones for January 2026.
The methodology is based on level-touch validation: a target is marked HIT when the projected zone traded or was reached within the relevant market window; PARTIAL when price reacted near the zone but did not fully complete; and OPEN when the target remained active. This follows the prior published back-test framework used for Piyush Ratnu’s XAUUSD review.
