Gold Short Setup: Targeting 3030 & 3015 from 2st Resistance Zone

126
Gold (XAUUSD) is currently trading around 3049 after bouncing strongly from the highlighted support zone near 2950. Price is now testing the 2st resistance area, and a rejection here could lead to a bearish move toward the target zone just below.

🔻 XAUUSD Bearish Trade Plan
Entry Zone: 3045–3050

1st Target: 3030

2nd Target: 3015

Stop-Loss: Above 3060 (just above recent highs and the edge of the 2nd resistance zone)

🛡️ Why 3060 as Stop-Loss?
It's above both the 1st and 2nd resistance zones.

If price breaks above 3060 with momentum, it could signal buyers are in control and invalidate the short setup.

This gives you about 30–35 pips of risk for a potential 30–35 pips gain to the 1st target, and up to 60–65 pips to the 2nd — offering a solid risk-to-reward ratio.
