Gold Technical Analysis

After making losses below the 200-DMA Wednesday’s close below the 55-DMA, the first since early 2015, adds weight to the bearish case for retests of the 2014 & 2015 lows. Bulls now need a close above $1233.1 to ease bearish pressure a little and above the 200-DMA to hint at a resumption of bullish pressure. The 100-DMA remains under pressure with bears favouring a break lower while $1233.1 caps.
