XAUUSD - Watching 1720-1730 for confirmation

Been looking at $XAUUSD for a potential bounce scenario this week, particularly after the recent dip. The 1720-1730 zone is what I'm focused on; it served as pretty significant support back in August and early September before the breakdown. We've seen some attempts to reclaim it, but nothing sustained. If we can get a clean break and hold above 1730 with decent volume, it might suggest a move back towards the 1750-1760 area. The risk for this idea, obviously, is a sustained break below 1715. If we start closing daily candles under that, my conviction for any immediate upward movement is gone, and I'd be looking for a retest of the recent lows around 1700, or even lower. The broader macroeconomic picture still feels bearish for non-yield assets, but these short-term technical plays can offer opportunities.
