Gold Technical Analysis: trendline support exposed after range breakdown
- Gold is currently trading largely unchanged on the day at $1,282.
- The yellow metal fell by $12 or 0.8 percent on Friday, confirming a downside break of the two-week long narrowing price range.
- An extended period of consolidation is often followed by a big move in the direction of the breakout.
- As a result, gold could soon drop to the support of the trendline connecting the Nov. 13 and Nov. 28 lows. At press time, that support is seen at $1,264.
