Gold Technical Analysis

After recently stalling ahead of the long term falling trend line from Sept 2012 highs around $1219.0, the bounce Friday and bullish close saw the trend line broken which hints at further topside. Bulls now focus on the $1238.6-1257.3 region with the 200-DMA noted at $1254.2. Bears continue to look for a close below $1201.8 to regain the upper hand and below the 55-DMA to target 2014 lows. The Bollinger band top ($1226.0) is the key concern for bulls.
