Gold Technical Analysis: Stuck in a rising broadening wedge

  • Gold has charted a rising broadening wedge on the hourly chart. More importantly, the 100-hour moving average (MA) has met the wedge support of $1,203,50.
  • Acceptance below that level would signal a continuation of the sell-off from the recent high of $1,214.30 and would shift risk in favor of a drop to rising trendline, currently located at $1,198. A violation there would confirm the corrective rally from the recent low of $1,160 has ended.  
  • Meanwhile, $1,209 is the level to beat for the bulls.
