Gold price remains in a bearish short-term trend and making lower lows and lower highs. Price remains trapped inside the bigger sideways trading range between $1,300 and $1,360. The importance of both these levels is very big as any breakout would lead to a 100$ fall or rise at least.
Black lines - trading rangeGold price is below the Ichimoku cloud on the 4-hour chart and is making lower lows and lower highs. Price is near the lower boundary of the trading range. Price has reached the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the rise from $1,300. Gold price is near critical support. The stochastic oscillator is giving bullish divergence signals. This is a warning for bears and not a bullish reversal sign.
