Gold Declining

Gold has been declining for the past couple of weeks due to a strong technical boundary. The precious metal reached the level of $1,295, which comes just a few points above the resistance. Since then it started to depreciate with rapid pace to a low of $1,259.

Currently, Gold is trading at $1,264, some $30 lower than it's 6 month high made on April 17. The precious metal still needs the support of the bullish camp, moreover now when it's right at the 200SMA.

Weekly time-frame shows how strong the resistance really is. We see that the latest high came at the same resistance line that goes back to the all time high of $1,920. If we can get past $1,300 we might see a renewed positivism in the Gold market.
