As discussed earlier in our update Gold peaking out descending triangle – Is it going for $1197? Gold has just violated the descending triangle pattern. For the moment, gold has nice chances to target $1,201 and $1,197.

Our second forex trading signal on gold is still active and it’s trading in 20 pips profit. If you haven’t placed it yet, I would recommend holding on a bit until market retraces back to $1,204 area. For those of youwho are already in trade, we suggest you move your stop loss at a breakeven price.
