Short trade Gold FuturesCOMEX:GC1!davidjulien369GOLD COMEX — SRL Sell-Side Trade Idea Wednesday 12 August 2026 Entry time: 5:24 AM NY Time Direction: 🔴 Sell-side Timeframe: 5-minute Entry: 4476.6 Stop: 4477.9 Target: 4466.0 Potential return: 0.237% Risk: 0.029% Risk-to-reward: 8.15R The sell setup develops after Gold aggressively expanded into the 4477–4480 upper liquidity area but failed to sustain the breakout. The chart shows engineered lows beneath price after the rejection, creating a logical sell-side draw. Entry at 4476.6 is positioned immediately beneath the failed upper expansion, while 4477.9 acts as the tight structural invalidation. Structure Price delivered a strong bullish expansion into the highs, but the final push failed to maintain acceptance. That changes the immediate intraday condition from continuation to potential failed-breakout / distribution rotation. The key question is whether sellers can maintain price below the 4476–4477 area.
