Gold price is in a short-term bullish trend as price is above the 4-hour Ichimoku cloud and is making higher highs and higher lows. Price is steadily moving higher but on very slow pace. The form of the price rise has an overlapping price structure which suggests that this upward move is not impulsive.

Blue lines – bullish channel

Gold price is trading at $1,291.50 above both the tenkan- and kijun-sen indicators. Price made an important low late October around $1,260 and ever since it is mainly moving sideways as price has not yet broken above the October high of $1,305. Support is at $1,281. Breaking below that level will push price towards $1,270-$1,260 and eventually towards our short-term target of $1,250-45. Resistance is at $1,299-$1,305.

On a daily basis Gold price is testing the lower boundary of the Ichimoku cloud. Support is on Friday’s low and resistance at $1,294-95. A rejection here will increase the chances of my bearish short-term scenario for a move towards $1,250 before the resumption of the up trend.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company – www.instaforex.com
