Gold Technical Analysis

Last week’s failures to close above the 100-DMA and ahead of the key $1225.0-1251.6 region rewarded bears with fresh 2015 lows Friday and overall focus now confirmed on the 2014 low. Initial resistance is now noted at the previous $1190.6 support level with bulls needing a close above to ease the bearish pressure. Layers of resistance remain $1213.8-1251.6 and are likely to prove tough going
