Gold Technical Analysis: Bear trap

  • Gold’s hourly chart shows a rising wedge breakdown – bearish continuation pattern, which signals an end of the corrective rally from the recent low of $1,211 and a resumption of the sell-off.
  • However, the rising wedge breakdown could end up being a bear trap as the daily chart shows a bullish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI) and stochastic.
