Gold short setup - Bearish channel in play!

44
Gold (XAU/USD) is currently trading within a well-defined descending channel, and the structure suggests further downside movement is likely.

🔍 Technical Highlights:

Price has consistently rejected the upper boundary of the channel.

Currently trading near $3,295, facing resistance at $3,310–$3,340 zone.

Key Fibonacci level (0.618) at $3,261.91 is under pressure.

A clean break below this level could trigger a drop toward $3,231, with an extended target near $3,198.

Volume profile shows a lack of strong demand in this region, supporting the bearish case.


📅 Multiple key U.S. economic events approaching (as seen by the icons on the chart), which may act as catalysts for volatility and potential confirmation of this setup.

📉 Trade Idea:

Watching for a break and retest of $3,261 support to enter short.

Bearish targets: $3,231 and $3,198.

Invalidated if price reclaims $3,310 and breaks above the channel.
