Red line = horizontal support

Yellow line = upward sloping trend line

Blue line = horizontal resistance

Gold price has managed to push above the yellow trend line support and above the Ichimoku cloud in the 4-hour chart. Gold price held short-term support on Friday and as long as the price is above $1,190, bulls will have more chances to push the price to $1,250-60.

The weekly chart was not looking good all week but on Friday bulls managed to hold above the tenkan-sen indicator (red line). Support was held but the price remains below the kijun-sen (yellow line) indicator. The longer-term trend remains bearish since the price is below the Ichimoku cloud. Good levels to sell are at the 61.8% retracement and at the Ichimoku cloud. A weekly close below the last week closes is a sell sign. Until then I prefer to stay neutral.
