After touching the ascending trend line from 1180.51 to 1194.94 on daily chart, XAUUSD rebounded strongly to 1265. Further rise to test the resistance of the descending trend line from the July 2016 high of 1375.11 to the November 2016 high of 1337.28 is possible over the next several days. A clear break through the trend line resistance could take price to the next resistance level of 1295.44. The key resistance is at 1295.44, a break of this level will confirm that the pair remains in the uptrend from the December 2016 low of 1122.56, then the next target would be at around 1350.
