Gold rebounds towards crucial resistance level
Gold has been respecting trendline support over the past fortnight, with ascending lows accompanied by higher highs. However, looking back to late February, it is clear that we are trading around a crucial $1264 resistance level. The attempted break through that level last week was greeted by a sharp move lower.
As such, it is worth noting that the ability to break through this big resistance zone is going to be the key determinant of what this market looks like going forward. Watch out for resistance at $1261, $1264 and $1271. To the downside, a break below $1247 would provide a more bearish outlook.
