Gold price moved towards $1,270 yesterday but could break above the previous highs. Gold price got rejected and are now below $1,260 again. Although bulls are not able to break higher, despite the news from the Fed that another 10 billion dollars will be cut from the QE program, the support at $1,245-48 still holds.
The purple upward sloping trend line remains valid as Gold price still trade above it as shown in the chart above. Yesterday's high near $1,270 could very well be wave C of our short-term elliott wave count as shown in the chart above. If this wave count is correct then today or at the latest tomorrow we should see Gold price move below $1,240. If we are wrong, then Gold price will hold above $1,245-48 which is the stop for bulls.
The daily chart as shown above shows how bulls and bears fight for the trend. Important price level for bulls and bears is the $1,273-75 range as it is important resistance. However as long as Gold price trade above $1,245-48 bulls will feel comfortable. Bears on the other hand need to break below that support in order to test the important area of $1,230.
