Ichimoku cloud indicator analysis on Gold for July 18th, 2022.

Gold price is trading above $1,710. According to the Ichimoku cloud indicator trend on a 4 hour candlestick basis remains bearish. Price is showing some signs of a reversal but we are at the early stages. Trend in the short-term remains bearish as price remains below the 4 hour Kumo. Price has moved above the tenkan-sen (red line indicator) and is challenging the kijun-sen (yellow line indicator). The resistance by the kijun-sen is at $1,721. A break above this resistance will lead price towards the kumo at $1,740. Only a break above $1,762 will change short-term trend to bullish and give hopes to bulls for a bigger bounce. As we mentioned in previous posts, a bounce towards $1,750-70 is justifies, but I believe it will only be a counter trend bounce in the bigger down trend.
