Gold is currently testing the intermediate resistance of its medium-term bearish channel at 1,705. It seems that a decline was initiated. However, a break of these levels will free a large potential and reach the upper limit of its channel at 1,715.
Technical indicators do not provide clear signals, but until the resistance is not broken the assumption of a decline is most likely. Bollinger bands have stabilized showing a more regular volatility.
Gold is currently testing the intermediate resistance of its channel, we suggest 2 scenarios. The first one is the hypothesis of a decline where we recommend a sell on the level of 1,705 with the 1st objective at 1,695 and then at 1,692. A breakthrough of 1,708 will invalidate this scenario. The second scenario is a break of its resistance where we advise a “buy stop” which means to buy gold as soon as it is broken through its resistance of 1,705 with the 1st objective at 1,715 and then at 1,718. A breakthrough of 1,702 will invalidate this scenario.
