Can Gold Rising Wedge Be Bullish? Bearish Pattern Break Up?

Fellow Traders,
I marked the resistance lines I identified with red, and I identified a rising wedge pattern in white color on the chart. Behind the lines, gold has been accumulating a strong demand within the wedge. The chart pattern itself is a kind that tends to break downwards. In general, a rising wedge is a bearish setup. However, general rules don't work as much in trading as they do in other areas like biology. There's significant statistics for rising wedges to break in either direction.

With gold's growing demand and valuation, I think
  • the rising wedge could break upwards and trigger an elevated rally.
  • Or if it breaks down, as this pattern usually does, the wedge allows a steep bounce to retest the wedge before any reversal to bearish.

I can see a conflicting trend and chart pattern, but my two cents say a profitable long position more likely.
