FXStreet reports that Benjamin Wong, Strategist at DBS Bank, discusses XAU/USD prospects.

“Gold has developed a minor double bottom and if the pattern delivers, there remains a nudge higher. What’s more, 1671, which is the monthly Ichimoku chart’s kijun support is the level to make or break as gold continues to find its stability pulse.”

“Despite gold having marched higher from its recent 1677 lows, gold remains under the cosh as it stays under the price cloud (the default setting that gold retains the bearish trait of the decline from 2075 highs). That indicates technically gold maintains an underlying bearish trait that was unleashed last September on a crossover sell signal on a 1959 breakdown.”
