FX.co ★ Gold technical analysis for January 15, 2015

Gold price is currently above the short-term support of $1,225. The rejection at $1,245 is not a good sign and it increases the chances of a fake breakout. As long as Gold price is above $1,225, bulls will have the upper hand. Bullish confirmation will come if we break above $1,245.

Red line = resistance

Blue line = neckline

Green line = support

Gold price is testing the neckline at $1,225. The double top from the rejection at $1,245 is not a good sign for bulls. If the neckline is broken at $1,225, I will have $1,205 as the first target, but the bearish implication from the fake breakout will be bigger and very bad for the longer-term view.

The daily chart of Gold price is worrying the bulls as the long-tailed red candles imply fake breakout. Bulls want price to hold support and break resistance at $1,245 to confirm breakout towards $1,270.
