XAU/USD: Gold looking ripe for an intraday short from resistance!

My Take on Gold's Current Vibe

Alright team, let's talk about Gold (XAU/USD). It's been a bit of a tricky one lately, definitely in a sideways trend, bouncing around between 2916.63 and 2936.87 today. Current price is sitting around 2926.75, which puts it pretty close to that immediate resistance level. I'm seeing a potential intraday opportunity here, so thought I'd share my setup.

Technicals & The Setup

This looks juicy if the resistance holds up!
