Gold Technical Analysis: Gold pulling back up near $1247.00/oz after steady weekly decline

  • Gold has been trading down for most of the week and is currently below $1,250.00 a troy ounce and below the 200-period simple moving average which is suggesting a mild bearish bias on the metal.
  • Gold is currently consolidating the bear move seen on Wednesday as bulls are trying to form a double bottom with the current 2018 low at 1,237.60.  
  • If the bears retake control they will probably re-attack the current week’s low at 1,241.00 and if they manage to gather enough momentum they might try to retake the 2018 low. However, a breakout above 1,250.00 might signal sellers’ lack of conviction; and in such scenario, a reversal up towards 1,260.00 figure could then be on the cards.
