Gold price remains inside the short-term bearish channel. A short-term trend is neutral. The price remains above short-term support but there is no clear direction in the nearest term. The level of $1,200 is still a feasible target if bulls manage to break above $1,180.

Red lines - bearish channel

Gold is trading inside the 4 hour Ichimoku cloud and inside the bearish channel. The price is trading just above the 38% Fibonacci retracement, but also below the short-term resistance level at $1,180.

The weekly chart remains above weekly kijun-sen support and still has chances to move closer to $1,200 in order to reach a new short-term higher high. As long as the weekly close is above $1,156, I would remain bullish in the short-term targeting new highs around $1,200.
