Gold Technical Analysis: Bull trap

  • The 15-minute chart shows gold (XAU/USD) has ended consolidation with an upside break (bullish breakout).  
  • However, overbought readings in relative strength index (RSI) suggests the breakout could turn into a bull trap.  
  • The 15-minute chart also shows a doji candle, signaling indecision despite a bullish breakout.
