Gold price made a new low yesterday at $1,241. Price remains in a bearish trend. I continue to expect prices to bounce towards $1,255-60 area before any meaningful downside move towards $1,220-$1,200.

Red lines - bearish channel

Black lines - bullish divergence

We observe bullish divergence signs in the 4 hour chart. Price has resistance the $1,247 level and support at $1,220. A break above resistance will confirm my short term bounce view towards cloud resistance $1,260-70.

On a weekly basis price has entered the weekly Kumo (cloud). This is not good for long-term bulls. Price at the end of the week must at least gives a bounce off this weekly support area, otherwise bulls will be in trouble. Last time price tested the weekly Kumo (cloud), price reached the lower cloud boundary and rallied 130$ to $1,350. Let's see what it does this time.
