Gold Technical Analysis: Yellow metal bulls running out of steam yet again above $1,300/oz

• Gold failed to break above $1300.00 a troy ounce for the third time this week. In fact, the 1,300.00 figure has been an important support/resistance since early May.
• Buyers will need to sustain prices above the key 1,300.00-1,307.77 area in order to confirm any bullish momentum.
• In the absence of any major geopolitical news, gold seems destined to break lower in the coming sessions as buyers are running out of ammo above the 1,300.00 level.
