Gold Reversal Brewing? Short Setup Against Bullish Trend Looking Juicy!

Market Overview & Why I'm Looking Short

Alright team, let's talk XAU/USD. Gold's been on a solid run, up 0.55% today, adding 16.05 bucks to hit 2936.05 right now. The overall trend is definitely bullish, no doubt there. But you know me, I trade what the chart shows, not just the hype. While we've seen highs around 2960.13 today, price seems to be struggling to break clear above that level, signaling some potential exhaustion in this intraday push. I'm seeing a nice opportunity for a short pullback here.

Technical & Fundamental Read

Technically, we're flirting with the upper end of today's range (2911.97 - 2960.13), and that 2960.13 resistance level has held firm. My entry at 2944 positions us just below that key area, anticipating a rejection or at least a temporary breather. Fundamentally, we've had some strong US data recently, subtly boosting the dollar and taking a bit of shine off safe-haven assets like Gold. That dollar strength could provide the fundamental catalyst for a temporary dip. My Stop Loss is set at 2983, giving us enough room
