Short on Breakout Close

Short
FX:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
On "Long on Breakout," I was looking to go long on a breakout close, which failed to happen thus no trade opportunity. Price action was rejected twice on the descending trend line.

A shorting opportunity is probable, and the same close on breakout condition remains. Downside targets are in blue.

This is the perfect reason why a close confirmation is needed and why trades are not entered on "breaks."

As always, non-biased. Will short or long when opportunities present themselves.
