This chart represents the Gold (XAU/USD) price action on the 4-hour timeframe with a bullish channel, but it shows signs of potential selling opportunities. Here’s the explanation in a sell bias:
Key Observations for a Sell Setup:
1. Resistance Zone (Red Box)
The price recently tested the resistance level but struggled to break higher.
This suggests that sellers are active, creating a potential reversal.
2. Bearish Rejection
The chart shows that price is reacting to resistance, hinting at a possible downturn.
If price fails to break above resistance and forms bearish candlestick patterns, it could confirm a sell signal.
3. Channel Structure
The price is trading within an ascending channel (blue zone).
A break below the mid-channel line could indicate a deeper retracement.
4. Support Zone (Blue Box) as a Target
If selling pressure increases, price may drop toward the support zone.
A clean break of the mid-channel would suggest further downside towards the lower boundary of the channel.
Trading Plan for Sell:
Sell Entry: If price shows rejection at resistance or breaks below mid-channel.
Stop Loss (SL): Above the resistance zone (to protect against false breakouts).
Take Profit (TP): Around the support zone or the lower boundary of the channel.
Confirmation Factors for Sell:
Strong bearish rejection candles at resistance.
Break below the mid-channel support.
Increase in selling volume.
