Gold is trading above the Kumo on the 4-hour chart and is about to break above the triangle pattern. This is a bullish sign. Short-term support is at $1,240 and is very important for the bullish scenario of a move towards $1,300. Resistance is at $1,260-65.

On the daily chart, the price is supported by the daily Kumo and is preparing to make new short-term higher highs after making a higher low at $1,243. Gold is most probably going to push towards $1,300 very soon but any break below $1,240 will cancel this scenario.
