XAUUSD: Downtrend Channel - Potential Short Opportunity

80
XAUUSD is currently trading within a well-defined descending channel on the 2-hour timeframe. Price action has been respecting the upper and lower trendlines, suggesting a continuation of the downtrend.

Given the overall downtrend, I'm seeing a potential short opportunity.

Entry: Look for a SELL signal near the upper trendline of the channel or within one of the resistance zones.
Stop Loss: Place a stop-loss order above the most recent swing high or above the resistance zone to limit potential losses, around $3,390.00.
Take Profit: Target a Take Profit (TP1) near the lower trendline of the channel. A potential TP level is around $3,250.00
Target a Take Profit (TP2) near the lower trendline of the channel. A potential TP level is around $3,150.00 (adjust based on your risk tolerance and analysis).

Confirmation:

Before entering the trade, seek confirmation from other indicators or chart patterns (e.g., bearish candlestick patterns), or wait for a sell signal from our indicator.
Consider the overall market sentiment and any upcoming news events that could affect the price of gold.

Risk Management:

This is just an idea, not a trading recommendation.
Trading involves risk, and you could lose money.
Always use proper risk management techniques, including stop-loss orders and appropriate position sizing.
