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

Gold price has broken down yesterday as we expected towards $1,240 and bounced. Price stabilized for a few hours around $1,260-55 and then broke to new lows. Price is expected to move even lower as I believe the big correction towards $1,150 has started.

Black line - resistance

Gold price is below the Kumo (cloud) and below the black trend line resistance. As long as price is below them I remain bearish. Price has bounced towards the short-term resistance of $1,260. Next resistance is at $1,269. I expect price to move lower towards $1,230 at least over the coming days. Bounces are opportunities to sell.

The weekly stochastic is turning lower and a break below the 80 level will be a bearish signal. Price is testing the weekly tenkan-sen (red line indicator) and a weekly close below it will confirm the bearish reversal and that an important top is in. I expect at least a pull back towards the $1,180 level where the upper cloud boundary is found.
