Gold price is mostly moving sideways near its trend lows after topping at $1,307. The price has reached the 61.8% retracement support and for now it trades around this level. Short-term trend is bearish. If gold price fails to hold above $1,216, we should expect a push towards $1,200.
Black lines = resistance
Gold price is testing the first short-term resistance at $1,230. Yesterday we saw gold price got rejected at $1,230 and the same has happened earlier today. Breaking above $1,230 will push price towards the second short-term resistance at $1,240. Important trend resistance is found at the black downward sloping trend line at $1,260 where we also see the Ichimoku cloud resistance.
On the daily chart gold price remains near and above the 61.8% retracement. Bulls should expect a strong upward reversal from the current levels. Bears on the other hand want to see the support at $1,215 fail and the resistance at $1,240 to be held.
