Gold (XAU/USD) Simple Trading Setup

GOLD ( XAU/USD ) Is now showing some interesting price action based on the daily time frame, Let’s start with the obvious, Price has been creating lower lows and lower highs and now we are currently pulling back to an important key level. I can see that price is now also testing a trend line and we can expect some rejection.

I would like to see the price break the low of 1740 on the current daily time frame before I will even consider shorts. My entry will be a break and retest based on the Daily time frame and then we can look to refine the entry on the 4-hour time frame.

My target is the low of 1681. I believe this will be a solid target if it is able to change the structure to a more bearish environment. Looking at the flip side, The trend line has been tested multiple times and there is a chance that it will break and the price will push through, hence we need to wait for the structure to turn bearish.

Let’s wait and then look closer to the time when the setup is ready.
