Gold price made a new higher high today but did not manage to get higher or close above the previous high. Gold price is pulling back in what seems to be a fake breakout. Short-term support is at $1,206-$1,200. In case of brakout, I would believe we are going to test the red support line . Ichimoku cloud support is at $1,195-$1,200.

The start of the week has not been good for bulls despite the gap up. The price got rejected at the yellow line kijun-sen indicator and this is bearish.
