Gold price remains weak. The trend remains down. Price has managed to make an upward bounce but with no real progress as the price got rejected just below the downward sloping red trend line. As long as Gold price remains below this trend line, I prefer short positions.

The price is still stalling inside the Ichimoku cloud in the short-term chart as shown above. Support is found at $1,285-$1,280. Breaking below that level will push Gold price to $1,269 and will most probably break it and move towards $1,250.

The trend is down. A daily close below $1,275 will confirm we are heading towards $1,250 first and $1,200. Gold price could continue to trade sideways above the $1,275 blue support trend line and eventually re-test the Ichimoku cloud at $1,305. Long-term trend remains bearish. Short-term stop for bears is $1,300. Longer-term stop for bears is $1,391.
