Gold Technical Analysis: Prepped for re-test of $1,200

  • Gold’s hourly chart shows a falling wedge reversal, which indicates the metal’s pullback from the high of $1,201 has ended and the corrective rally from the recent low of $1,160 has resumed.
  • So, prices look set to re-test the psychological hurdle of $1,200.
  • However, there is merit in being cautious as the 50-hour MA is about to cross the 100-hour MA from above (bear cross). So, prices could face stiff resistance around $1,192 (a  level where the 50-hour MA is about to meet the 100-hour MA).
