Gold daily chart

On the daily chart, gold stays under mild selling pressure near the November lows while trading below the 1465 resistance level and the 50/100 SMAs. However, the bears need a break below the 1445 swing low on a daily closing basis to drive the market towards the 1400 figure near the 200-day SMA.

Gold four-hour chart

The market is rebounding while staying below the 1465 resistance and the main SMAs. If the market fades the 1465 level then a retest of the 1445 support remains on the sellers’ radar in the medium term.

Alternatively, a breakout above the 1465 level can expose the 1480 resistance on the way up.
