Given the resilience
XAUUSD has shown around the $1250 level it seems that it may have reached a short-term bottom that also matches up nicely to the bullish channel shown here.
This suggests to me a retest of the long-term resistance trendline slightly above the $1300 level in the coming month. Uncertainty from the US elections should be supportive of this.
Furthermore, this is setting up for another wedge scenario in late 2016 to early 2017.
(Arrows indicate direction, not dates)
A clear break below this channel would invalidate this scenario. Target $1300.

Note
We've just seen a significant break from the downtrend that indicates the current move may be something other than the previous sideways action. A break above $1264 will give more confidence.Note
The price is holding above the previous downtrend and a retest has held, So far so good. Still looking for a break above 1265.Note
We just had the break above 1266 with a very nice spike. We're still in the channel but this is a very bullish sign.Note
And after saying that, we just completely stepped through the channel. I looks like (fingers crossed) we've left the sideways range behind us now.Note
Or this thing may just keep goingNote
The price has exceeded 1276 which puts me just over half way towards my target. The next level of interest I'm watching is a break of38.2% Retracement from recent low - 1,281.26
Note
What a nice finish to the week. I got my $1281.26 interim target that I had been waiting for. And now we've closed above 1275.Shall we try for 1293.13 next week?
Note
We've already had one big election surprise that rocked the market on Friday. I believe there is more in store before election day.
Above 1275 things are looking quite positive for that run back to 1300. Looking at the slope of the support in the chart above, it maybe in the latter part of the week we see a search for 1290.
Note
We've hit 1,293.13, where the price is right now. And it's only Wednesday.We're seeing a bit of a short squeeze so the 1300 target may not be too far away now.
Trade closed: target reached
Target $1300 reached. I will now follow this back to the trendline, however I set 1300 as the target so this trade is now closed.Thanks for following, it's been fun.
