  • Gold attempted to break out above last Friday’s high but the breakout was met with bearish pressure and the metal traded down for the most part of the day.
  • Gold broke below the 200-period simple moving average and 1,225.90 support but price pulled back up and  bulls are currently trying to create a reversal above the 1,220.90 level.
  • Sustained prices above 1,225.90 can lead to a retest of 1,232.00 while a failure below the level can lead to the resumption of the main bear trend towards 1,211.17, the current 2018 low.
