Gold Technical Analysis: Struggling to build on falling channel breakout

Gold  convincingly crossed the falling channel hurdle on Friday, signaling an end of the corrective pullback from recent highs above $1,325. So far, however, the bull breakout has not emboldened the bulls.  

4-hour chart

The falling channel breakout seen in the above chart represents a bearish-to-bullish trend change. Put simply, the doors have been opened for a test of the recent high of $1,326.  

The yellow metal, however, is still trading below Friday’s high of $1,315. That is a slight cause for concern for the bulls, although the outlook would turn bearish only below the Feb. 8 high of $1,307.  

Trend: Cautiously bullish
