Gold bounces from the 1300 level

The price of gold accelerated its bullish momentum towards the end of the week while the equities markets retraced to the downside as the risk aversion came back into play after the terrorist attacks on Barcelona, Spain and as the doubts keep mounting on the Trump administration. We have been waiting for a visit of gold to the 1300 level and this Friday the price did reach that level to bounce to the downside. The strong bearish bounce is an indication that there could have been a large profit taking at that zone as shown on the daily chart. Even though the price of gold has bounced to the downside, the bullish short-term trend is still in place. But the price must break above the 1300 level in order for the trend to persist. To the downside, the most relevant support is at the confluence area of the 55 day EMA and the 200 week EMA around the 1256 level.
