Who's ready to trade the gold today? We’ve got an exciting set up on gold. Check it out!

As mentioned in my earlier update, Turning Point For Gold – Bearish Sentiment, our trade idea was to take a buy only above $1255 to aim at $1260. I'm happy to say the trade went as planned.

Gold – 2-Hour Chart 

Now, the gold is heading north to complete the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. On Friday, it came out of the bullish channel, which was formed last week, and now the same bullish channel is extending a hurdle near $1267/69.

Gold is likely to have an immediate resistance at $1264 and that's the same level where gold completes its 61.8% retracement.

Investors Sentiment

As for fundamentals, we don't have anything major, but keep in mind, the investors are still trading the highly optimistic labor market figures from the United States. Therefore, the sentiment for the Buck is still bullish, diminishing the yellow metal's appeal.

Gold Trading Plan

Watch $1264, as below this level the gold has the potential to stay in sell until $1259 and $1255 today.
