Gold breaks trendline

Gold has managed to break the descending trendline from the February high, and is now consolidating.

A move back below $1326 would be potentially bearish, although sellers would need a loss of $1320 to really indicate the downtrend has returned. Above $1337, the price targets $1346 and then $1358.
