Gold Technical Analysis: Yellow Metal poised to breakout to $1,226.00 a troy ounce

  • Gold bear trend has been on hold for the last five weeks.
  • Gold bulls broke above the bull flag last week and are now busy trying to break above 1,204.10 (August 3 swing low, key level). A break above the level can open the gates towards 1,225.90 (July 17 low). The RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators are pointing to more gains.
  • A bear breakout below 1,189.49 (September 4 low) would invalidate the bullish bias.
