Gold Technical Analysis: Failed breakout has established $1315 as key resistance

Gold is on the defensive, courtesy of falling channel ‘fakeout’ and only a convincing move above $1,315 would restore the bullish view.  

4-hour chart

The falling channel breakout confirmed on Friday had signaled an end of the pullback from the recent highs above $1,325.  The bulls, however, failed to capitalize on the breakout and prices fell back in the falling channel yesterday, neutralizing the bullish setup.  

A failed breakout is widely considered a strong bear indicator. Gold, therefore, risks falling below $1,300.  

A break above $1,315 (Friday’s high) is needed to revive the bullish view.
