Gold Technical Analysis

Recent bounces from $1190.6 resulted in a pop above the 100-DMA ($1215.9) Thursday before gold retreated from ahead of layers of resistance $1225.0-1251.6. Bulls now need a close above $1225.0 to ease bearish pressure and above $1251.6 to confirm breaks of other key DMAs, shifting overall focus back to the 2015 high. Overall while $1225.0 caps a bearish bias remains but bears need a close below $1190.6 to reconfirm overall focus on 2014 & 2015 lows
