Gold Technical Analysis: Yellow Metal bull flag goes on near $1,200.00 a troy ounce

  • Gold bear trend is on hold for the fifth consecutive week.  
  • The 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages are coiled together suggesting that Gold is in consolidation mode. The RSI and MACD indicators are neutral but bulls still consider the current consolidation as a bull flag while the market holds above 1,189.49 (September 4 low). Bulls target can be located near 1,225.90 (July 17 low).
  • A break below 1,189.49 (September 4 low) would invalidate the bullish bias.
