Gold stayed near the 8-month high last Friday. The price has hit the 8-month high very early in the Asian session at 1902 after the market opened at 1898. The price was basically bounded by the 1890-96 range throughout the Asian and European sessions. Buying resumed at the US session, with the day ending near 1897.

The upward momentum has slowed down after the price escaped the S-T support line(1) last Friday on the 1-hour chart, and the S-T pattern has shifted horizontally to the range 1886-1900(3). Although the price has touched a new high,1908, early in the Asian session today, the selling resistance above 1900 has yet to clear. It will be a sign of the price preparing to break the upside 1908 if the price can close above 1900. Trendline (2) is the support to the downside for now.

Since gold broke out from the triangle pattern(4), it has moved higher along within the uptrend channel(5). The selling zone at 1900-08(7) had rejected the price this morning. Before the price clears all the resistance above 1900, the S-T consolidation should occur between 1870-1900(6).
