Price action context

On the 27th of July, the price of the precious metal broke above the all-time highs from 2011 and continued to climb another $150 before sellers came in and pushed price lower towards the broken long-term resistance, now acting as support. After testing the broken long-term resistance as support, a short-term support formed at which we saw a with-trend false break on the 12th of August. The short-term support has now been re-tested again following the false break, resulting in a strong bullish rejection.

Trending analysis

Long term bullish bias and weak pullbacks into the short-term support can offer potential entry locations for traders bullish on gold, looking to go long.
