Gold price is making higher highs and higher lows. Price made a double top and it could signal a move towards short-term support at $1,225. If this support is broken we could see a push towards $1,215 where the rising trend line is found. $1,240 is an important resistance and if it is broken we could see an upward extension towards $1,260-70.

Gold price has broken above the Ichimoku cloud and is now back testing the breakout area. The pullback inside the cloud will be a bearish sign as it will mean that the breakout was fake. Important bullish support is at $1,185. Breaking below this level will signal the end of the upward bounce and the start of a new downward move towards new lows.
