Gold Technical Analysis: Yellow Metal holding above $1,250 ahead of NFP on Friday

  • Gold has been holding on above $1,250 a troy ounce this Thursday as the metal is in its second day of consolidation after the $19 bull move of Wednesday.
  • Bulls have broken above the current bull flag and have found support at the 200-period simple moving average. However, they are not entirely out of the woods just  as the US Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday is likely going to dictate whether gold will break above 1,260 or will retrace below the 1,250.00 level.
