Gold challenges overhead resistance


XAUUSD

The above is the daily chart of the XAUUSD. The precious metal is moving up to challenge its support turned resistance (red shaded horizontal). The green 5-day EMA has crossed above the orange 13-day EMA, which is moving gold back into a neutral/congestion phase. Moreover, if price breaks above the resistance area it is likely to chart a higher peak. This mean that the precious metal will have charted a series of higher troughs followed by higher peaks. The RSI (9) is already above 50 and positive. This would reflect a dynamic shift in technical terms and a bullish EMA formation may follow.
