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 so far today and overall focus on the 2014 low. Initial resistance is now seen at Monday’s high but bulls need a close above $1190.6 to ease the bearish pressure. Daily studies which are approaching O/S levels are becoming an issue alongside the Bollinger base limiting follow through.
