FX.co ★ Gold analysis for May 18 , 2016

Since our previous analysis, gold has been moving sideways at the price of $1,273.00. According to the daily time frame, I found weakness in the background. Bullish bar closed in the middle. Anyway, according to the 4h time frame, I found a downward channel. There are two options in my opinion. The breakout of level $1,268.00 should confirm downward continuation and potential testing of $1,256.00. The breakout of $1,288.60 should confirm upward movement and potential testing of $1,302.80.
