Gold Technical Analysis: head-and-shoulders seen on hourly chart

  • Gold has created a classic head-and-shoulders pattern on the hourly chart with the neckline support at $1,220.
  • A break below the neckline support would confirm a bull-to-bear trend change – the recovery rally from the Nov. 13 low of $1,196 has ended and the bears have likely regained control – and would open up downside toward $1,210 (target as per the measured height method).
  • The yellow metal has found acceptance below the 50-hour and 100-hour exponential moving averages (EMAs). More importantly, both EMAs are beginning to roll over in favor of the bears. As a result, a break below the neckline support of $1,220 cannot be ruled out.
