The Fibonacci tool also indicates that price has been rejected from the 88.2% (which is a relevant level based on my personal trading approach). Let's break it down even further.
DAILY TIMEFRAME - XAUUSD
Here on the Daily timeframe, the bias seems a lot clearer. We see the initial reaction happened from a trendline resistance with the help of a rally-base-drop supply zone. Having completed that reaction, we switch to the lower timeframe to validate the possibility of a continuation.
4H TIMEFRAME - XAUUSD
The marked zone between 1770 and 1788 constitutes the preferred point of entry. As you can see, we have confirmed the initial reaction from the Daily supply zone with a break-of-structure on the lower timeframe. The BoS (Break of Structure) also happens to have created a new supply zone. As a result, we can expect price to drop from the area of entry with profit targets at; 1715, 1675, and 1655.
