The daily chart above continues to favor bears. Trend is clearly bearish as Gold price makes lower lows and lower highs but also in Ichimoku cloud terms. Daily resistance is found at $1,250 while our next important support is at $1,223 and $1,180. I remain bearish targeting at least a move towards previous lows at $1,180.
