Gold Technical Analysis: Closed above $1,300 for the first time since May

  • Gold closed above $1,300 on Friday – its first daily close above the psychological hurdle since May – confirming a bull flag breakout or a continuation of the rally from the lows near $1,230.
  • Further gains towards the Fibonacci hurdle of $1,321, however, could be seen after a minor pullback to support at $1,295 (Jan. 17 high), given the relative strength index (RSI) on both the 1H and 4H chart is reporting overbought conditions. Notably, the 14-hour relative strength index (RSI) is beginning to divergence in favor of the bears.
