Gold price is making another upward bounce towards the resistance at $1,175-80. The price remains below the downward sloping trend line and inside the cloud of the 4-hour chart. As long as the price does not break above $1,180, I will expect another round of selling to push prices towards $1,140.

Black line = resistance

Green line = support

Gold price is testing the black downward resistance trend line. The last time it was tested, the price got rejected at $1,220 and reversed lower towards $1,140. Trend remains bearish as long as the price is below this trend line and as long as it does not break above the cloud.

Bulls need to defend the support at $1,145-40 and break above $1,175 at least. On the other hand, bears will try to break short-term support at $1,159 and $1,140. The price is inside the Ichimoku cloud. This is a sign of neutrality in the trend. However, I remain bearish as long as we are below the trend line.
