Gold - 4hr Timeframe - Short Opportunity

Short
OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Gold seems to be at the end of a 4hr correction which has been forming in the shape of a flat type pattern. If our analysis is correct, XAUUSD should break the minor uptrend to the downside and take the price to at least re test the daily trend line in the 1280 area, possibly further to retest previous low in the 1240 area, although not necessarily.

From this moment on therefore, we will be looking for sell setups, on this pair: watch out for ending diagonal formations and other price action patterns for an entry point on their break. For a more conservative approach, wait for a first impulse to the downside breaking the minor uptrend, wait for a small correction of said impulse on the 60min timeframe, and sell the break of said correction with a stop loss above it.
