There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,437 high to $1,410 low. The price remained above the $1,415 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average.

At the moment, the price is trading just above the $1,415 support area. There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support near $1,415 on the hourly chart of gold.
