Blue line - support

Black line - resistance

Gold price continues to trade above the Ichimoku cloud. Price also reamains above important support trend line. Every time price made a dip towards $1,220 or below $1,230, buyers stepped in and pushed Gold higher above $1,235 each time. However, the confirmation of the bullish trend will come with the break above $1,245. Breaking it will be a good bullish signal.

Why is Gold price stuck here at $1,240-45? Because here we find the weekly kijun-sen (yellow line indicator) resistance. It is not easy to break it. But if and when it breaks upwards, we will be heading towards the upper cloud boundary around $1,280-$1,300.
