Gold price remains in a short-term downtrend. The price is making a short-term bounce and I expect selling pressures to come back and push price towards a new short-term low towards $1,220 or even $1,200.
Black lines = triangle pattern
Red line = bearish flag
The 4-hour chart above shows the bearish flag that gold price is currently forming. Support is found at $1,235 and resistance at $1,245. The price is below the Ichimoku cloud and the trend is bearish. I remain bearish expecting the price to continue lower after the triangle breakout to the downside.
Gold price is expected to reach the green area as shown on the chart above and most probably to reach the 61.8% retracement. I also believe that if we break below the 61.8% retracement we should expect gold price to test the Ichimoku cloud support at $1,200-$1,190.
