Gold surprised everyone by posting a whopping rally of more than $60 an ounce and then retracing all the gains just hours after the landmark elections in the United States. Market experts were expecting gold to continue upside rally amid global economic uncertainty after the US polls but the yellow metal followed the footsteps of technical levels and rebounded sharply after testing the monthly trendline support area.

Technical Analysis

As of this writing, the precious metal is being traded near $1261 an ounce. A huge support is being noted around $1200 which is a confluence of psychological number as well as a major horizontal support. We may see a short term pullback from the $1200 support while a break and daily closing below $1200 shall incite renewed selling pressure, validating a downside move towards the $1141 and then $1050 support zone as marked in the given below chart.

On the upside, the yellow metal is expected to face a hurdle near $1292, the intraday high of yesterday ahead of $1337, the monthly trendline resistance and then $1343, a major horizontal resistance area.
