Gold price has broken out of a short-term triangle pattern looking for a move higher towards $1,280-$1,300 at least. The $1,250 was an important support level and bouncing off this area was very possible as we expected. Could the entire decline be over at the last low?
Gold price has short-term resistance at the 4-hour Ichimoku cloud at $1,272. A break above it will open the way for a bounce higher towards $1,300 where the breakdown occurred. A backtest of the breakdown area is very possible. Support is at $1,250. If broken, we expect a move lower towards $1,220.
Green line -long term resistance trend line
I remain long-term bullish about Gold. Gold has made a weekly breakout above cloud resistance. Price got rejected at the downward sloping trend line from its all time highs. Price could pull back towards the Ichimoku cloud support but eventually I expect Gold price to break above the green trend line.
