Gold Technical Analysis: XAU is threatening a drop below $1,200

  • Gold (XAU) has charted a bear flag on the 15-min chart – a bearish continuation pattern – meaning a downside break would revive the sell-off from the high of $1,208.6 and allow a drop to $1,195.  
  • The yellow metal is more likely to break below the flag support of $1,202, having created a bearish outside-day reversal yesterday.
