Gold: Closing Above 1263 will Fuel Additional Bullish Waves

The hardest obstacle facing gold bullish with extension is today's high resistance located at 1263.80 and 1265. A resistance door which gold has knocked several times in the past two months with failure to penetrate and technically retreating, but fundamentals were always there for the help including safe haven and negative U.S Data interventions. But technical intakes with gold closing above daily 100 and 200 SMA at 1238 indicates that gold current trend is bullish supported by strong rising trend line, the yellow metal should overcome the 1265 with no hard time. Closing Above 1265, traders should prepare for themselves seeing gold on a jet ride with further inclines seeing 1280+ as a destination.
