Gold Technical Analysis: re-test of weekly highs near $1,286 likely

Gold could revisit the high of $1,286 hit earlier this week, as the repeated bounce from sub-$1,280 may have weakened the bearish view put forward by the contracting triangle breakdown.  

Hourly chart

As seen above, sellers are struggling for a convincing break below $1,280.

Further, the 14-hour RSI is showing a diamond breakout. Put simply, the indicator is possibly hinting it an impending bullish move toward the weekly high of $1,286.  

That said, there is merit in being cautious as a convincing break below $1,280 would reinforce the contracting triangle breakdown and open up downside toward $1,265.  

As of writing, gold is trading at $1,282 per Oz.
