- Gold bear trend has been on hold in the last weeks of trading after the market found a bottom at $1,172.82 a troy ounce.
- Gold is consolidating in a bull flag as bulls want to break above 1,204.10 (key level) in order to drive the market to 1,225.90 July 17 low. However, bulls have a lot of work to do as they need to overcome the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages.
- A bear breakout below 1,182.90 (August 24 low) would invalidate the bullish scenario and open the gates to a potential retest of the 2018 low.
