Bullish momentum returns for Gold

"Gold carved out an interim trough near $4,270 during the last pullback attempt, successfully defending a multi-month ascending trend line. It is now breaking above December high, signalling a resurgence in upward momentum."

"The next projections are at $4,645 and $4,685/$4,720. The recent pivot low at $4,400 now serves as an important support. Holding this will be crucial to avert a short-term decline."
