Gold Technical Analysis

The recovery from ahead of the $1180.2-1182.4 region resulted in the first pop above the 55-DMA ($1253.5) Tuesday since mid-August although the lack of follow through and failure ahead of the key $1258.5 resistance are issues for bulls. Bulls need a close above $1258.5 to confirm a break of the 55-DMA and target $1274.4-1298.2. The pullback Wednesday now sees immediate focus shift to the $1231.5 support.
