Gold Short Setup After Profit-Taking: Resistance in Sight!

📉 Trade Idea: Taking Profits and Shorting Gold (XAU/USD)

After a strong bullish trend, Gold has reached a level where we’ve decided to take profits on our long positions. Given the recent price action, we’re now eyeing a short opportunity. Here’s why this setup might work:

🔍 Chart Analysis:

Resistance Reached: Gold has hit a weekly resistance level around the $2,575 mark, as indicated on the chart. This area has shown signs of heavy selling pressure.
Technical Signals: Our Optimized Adaptive Close Momentum Strategy indicator, along with a few red candles and a clear rejection near the top, signals a loss of bullish momentum.
Potential Downtrend: With the recent bearish candle, there's a strong indication that a pullback might be underway, making this an ideal short entry setup.

🎯 Trade Plan:

Short Entry: Enter short positions near current levels if the price continues to hold below resistance.
Stop Loss: Set a stop loss slightly above the high at around $2,680 to manage risk in case of another breakout attempt.
Take Profit: Look for targets near support around the $2,324 area (based on the moving average), or lower if bearish momentum strengthens.

💡 Conclusion: Gold's rally has hit a key resistance, and with momentum slowing down, this may be an excellent opportunity to capitalize on a retracement. Be cautious and manage risk carefully as this could be a pivotal area.
