Gold Technical Analysis

The lack of follow through on Friday’s dip below $1170.0 has now seen gold bounce back towards the key $1213.8-1224.3 resistance region. Bulls need a close above $1224.3 to confirm breaks of the 21-WMA, 100-DMA and falling trend lines, ending bearish hopes and shifting focus to the $1238.6-1258.5 region where the 200-DMA is located. Bears need a close below $1186.7 to confirm a break of the 55-DMA and ease the renewed bullish pressure.
