XAU/USD Daily Chart(click to enlarge)Upside:- While the 2019 high might provide some resistance in the short-term, the ability to reach that high suggests the potential of breaking higher, keeping in line with the prevailing trend since Q4 2018.- Instead, the key resistance will be higher,around the $1360-$1375 area. - On the weekly chart, we can see that this has been the key consolidation resistance since 2016. - It will likely take a mass rotation into safe haven assets to break higher. So if gold does eventually break above $1375, we might be looking at a prolonged contraction in the equities market.- If on the other hand we see a recovery in the stock markets, I would not bet on a bullish breakout above $1375. - Therefore, this bullish outlook is contained in the short to medium-term (within a year).
