As discussed earlier, the Gold already hit our two targets $1,251 and  $1,259. But now, Gold seems to take a breather below $1,259. So, here is our chance to cash the opportunity. The Doji candle on the 4-hour chart is extending additional support to the selling bias.

Fellas, I’m not placing any long-term position in Gold for the moment. It’s better to wait for the market to absorb this shocks given by Fed. However, I just shared a forex trading signal to open a sell below $1,256 to target $1,251.50 with a stop above $1,260. Good luck!
