Gold strategy on the 4hr timeframe

FX:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Shorting gold will be difficult in my opinion. If I decide to short depending on the close of the 4hr candle (as my indicated level shows) I will keep stops tight. I could see a possible sharp reversal due to strong demand at 1290 - 1300. If 1280 - 1290 breaks then my key buying target is around 1260. A sharp rise from current prices (which I view as unlikely) would not indicate a buy. What's required for me to have a buy signal is range bound horizontal trading followed by a solid break. This will reduce risk/reduce chop, and increase probability of success. Long story short. Best to stay away for now until better signals come in.
