Green lines - bullish channelGold price is forming a short-term bullish channel. Price has broken above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and is now challenging the 78.6% retracement. As long as price is above $1,563 short-term trend will remain bullish.
Price remains above the Kumo (cloud) and is now once again above both the tenkan- and kijun-sen indicators. If the green indicator (tenkan-sen) turns above the red indicator (kijun-sen) then we will have a strong bullish signal. Support by both the tenkan- and kijun-sen is found at $1,563-66. Holding above this level is key for a move towards $1,600 and higher.
