FX.co ★ Technical analysis of Gold for October 20, 2016

As expected Gold price has broken above the trading range and has reached $1,270. Important resistance is at $1,280 and if broken we could see Gold price reach for $1,300 and higher over the next couple of weeks. A short-term trend is bullish as long as we hold above $1,250.

Red lines - trading range

Gold price is trading inside the Kumo (cloud). Therefore, a trend is neutral and needs to break out above the cloud to become bullish. Technically a short-term trend is bullish as price has broken above the trading range and is making higher highs and higher lows.

On a daily basis we have a bullish reversal also shown by the oscillators and I believe that minimum target is the yellow kijun-sen indicator. Next target will be the Kumo (cloud) at $1,300-$1,325. I remain longer-term bullish. As I have been saying $1,250 was the level to be bullish Gold.
