Gold Technical Analysis: trendline support exposed after range breakdown

  • Gold is currently trading largely unchanged on the day at $1,282.
  • The yellow metal fell by $12 or 0.8 percent on Friday, confirming a downside break of the two-week long narrowing price range.
  • An extended period of consolidation is often followed by a big move in the direction of the breakout.
  • As a result, gold could soon drop to the support of the trendline connecting the Nov. 13 and Nov. 28 lows. At press time, that support is seen at $1,264.

Daily chart

  • Validating the bearish view put forward by the range breakdown is the bearish crossover between the 5- and 10-day moving average (MAs) and the ascending trendline breakdown on the 14-day relative strength index (RSI).
