Gold’s breach of rising trend line on Wednesday following the release of hawkish Fed minutes has opened doors for a test of daily 50-SMA seen at $1249.
The bearish close yesterday also marked a downside break from symmetrical triangle formation, thus adding credence to bearish break from rising trend line.
Consequently, support at $1249 could be breached, thereby exposing $1243 (23.6% of Dec low-May high).
On the higher side, only a day end close above $1268 (rising trend line hurdle) would indicate bearish invalidation.
