Gold displayed strength to the upside during March & April of this year but has started to slow down this month.
The reason for the slowdown is due to the recent high at $1747 which is proving to be a problem for price.
Despite the hesitation at resistance, price has the 20 simple moving average below to use as support.
Price is currently in a squeeze, in between the resistance level and the 20 simple moving average, and will soon have no choice but to break out on either side.
The trend is up and the bias is for a breakout to the upside but we need to let price dictate the next move.
If the previous high is broken then we will start to look for opportunities to enter long positions as long as there are no major resistance levels above from the monthly and weekly timeframes.
If there are then we will need to continue to apply more patience.
