Gold At Three Month High

As both Europe and USA are overtaken by political woes and uncertainty is rising, investors are eyeing precious metals. Gold prices resumed the upward movement and yesterday marked the highest level since November at $1244. 
Technical indicators have modestly retreated from the overbought region. As seen on the four hour frame RSI is located slightly below 70 and is showing lack of momentum. Stochastic is displaying modest bearish direction, but yet is within extreme overbought area.
Short-term support is found at $1230 (50% Fibonacci rertracement of latest $1137 to $1122 decline). Next support is seen at $1204 (38.2% of same retracement).
To the upside bulls are thrilled by $1245 (a multi month high) and if conquering this level, next target is the resistance at $1255 (61.8% Fibo). 
Among this political uncertainty, a march towards the $1300 handle seems to be quite possible, due to the increased demand for safe-heaven assets.
