FX.co ★ Technical analysis of Gold for June 7, 2016

Gold is consolidating sideways and may be forming a bullish flag pattern. The price has stopped its rise right under the daily Ichimoku cloud resistance. I believe a major low is in place, and a new uptrend has started.

Black lines - bullish flag pattern

This is a promising bullish flag pattern. If the price breaks above $1,248, we might see another explosive upward move towards $1,300. If support at $1,239 fails to hold, we should expect the price to pull back towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the rise near $1,223.

On the daily chart, the price remains below the Ichimoku cloud after a bounce off the 38% Fibonacci retracement. The short-term trend is bullish while the medium-term trend is neutral as long as the price is below the Kumo (cloud). The long-term trend has reversed to bullish after the major low at $1,045.
