Gold price is trading inside a bullish channel. Price reached a new higher high as we had expected but still it is below $1,400.

Blue lines - bullish channel

In the short term, price remains in a strong uptrend above clouds and tenkan- and kijun-sen indicators. Support is at $1,260 and next, at $1,250. Resistance is at $1,270. I continue to be bullish targeting $1,400.

On the weekly chart, price reached the upper boundary of the expanding triangle and got rejected. A lower weekly low will be a reversal signal for gold price that could bring it even back towards $1,200. So bulls need to be very cautious.
