FX.co ★ Gold technical analysis for January 21, 2016

Gold price reached a new short-term high yesterday and the price remains above the Ichimoku cloud in the 4-hour chart. This keeps bulls hopes for $1,120 alive. A trend remains sideways to up and there are more chances for an upward move than bearish reversal.

Red lines - bullish channel

Gold price is moving towards higher highs and higher lows. Important short-term support levels are seen at $1,080 and at $1,072. Breaking below these levels will open the way for a push to the area around the level of $1,000.

The weekly chart remains supported by increasing chances of retesting the kijun-sen (yellow line indicator). Support is found at $1,070. Stochastics and RSI are positively sloped leaving behind the oversold levels. We still do not observe any overbought signs .
