Gold $XAUUSD and Silver $XAGUSD prices have been going up since December, but is now testing some resistance factors. I believe there will be a short-term sell-off, but both gold and silver might continue higher to break the current resistance. Gold Daily Chart(click to enlarge)Consolidation Triangle:- The price of gold stopped falling in 2016 and price started to consolidate. - After 2017, price is still in consolidation, but we can see some bullish bias. - The fact that price did not fall back to the triangle support after September, and is now back at the triangle resistance, suggests bulls are in charge. - We migh tsee a pullback from the triangle resistance in the short-term, but we should monitor the $1280-$1300 area for support.- Falling below 1260 is not good for the bullish breakout outlook, but a hold above 1280-1300 would suggest an eventually break above the current resistance.Silver Daily Chart(click to enlarge)Consolidation:- The daily chart shows that silver price has been mostly consolidating in 2017. - But in 2016, price bottomed and broke out to the upside.- So far, 2017's consolidation has been above that price bottom, which shows some bullish bias. - Furthermore, price dipped to around 14.50 and immediately shot up. - This "false" bearish breakout is a strong bullish sign.- Price found support at 15.65 again in December, and now price is testing a falling trendline. - I think there could be a brief pullback, but I would monitor the 16.50 area. - If silver price can hold above $16.50, I would look for it to at least go up to $18.50.
