Looking at the short-term outlook, it is leaning towards moderate to bearish. The 4-hour chart reveals that XAU/USD is currently trading below the 34 and 89 EMAs.

The target for this strategy is between $1945 and $1955. It's important to note that the selling strategy will continue to be established within these price zones.
