Gold Short – Targeting Downside After Resistance Rejection

Updated
Gold (XAU/USD) is currently facing resistance around the 2,518 area, where it has shown signs of rejection. This presents a potential short opportunity, aiming to capture downside movement as the price pulls back from this level.

Technical Analysis:
• Resistance Rejection: The price has tested and rejected the resistance level, indicating a potential reversal or pullback.
• Downside Target: The initial target for this short setup is around the 2,500 level, where support may come into play.
• Risk Management: Place a stop-loss above the recent high around 2,520 to protect against any further bullish breakout.

Market Sentiment:
• Bearish Bias: The rejection at resistance suggests that sellers are stepping in, increasing the likelihood of a downward move.
• Key Levels: Watch for any break below 2,510, which could accelerate the move towards the target zone.

This trade setup leverages the current rejection at resistance, aiming to capitalize on a potential pullback. As always, manage risk carefully and be prepared to adjust the strategy based on how the market evolves.
