Gold Technical Analysis: trapped in an expanding falling channel in the hourly chart

Gold is currently trading in a sideways manner within an expanding falling channel, as seen in the chart below.

Hourly chart

  • The relative strength index (RSI) has dived out of the ascending trendline. So, the metal could take out the lower edge of the minor sideways channel, currently at $1,312.   That would open up downside toward $1,308-$1,305.
  • A break above the falling channel hurdle at $1,316 would imply an end of the corrective pullback and could yield a rally to levels above $1,320.

Trend: bearish below $1,312
