Gold Technical Analysis: Yellow Metal at a crossroad


  • Gold is keeping the consolidation theme intact for the fifth day in a row as the yellow metal is debating whether to form a double bottom with July 10, 2017 or to resume the bear trend. 
  • Gold bears tried to breakout below Tuesday’s low but sellers have been overwhelmed by bulls who brought gold to the 1,213.70 resistance. 
  • Bears objective is to break below 1,204.10 2018 low to extend the bear trend while bulls want a breakout above 1,236.28 July 13 low, key level in order to create a bullish reversal.
