Gold (XAU/USD) looks set to test $1300 levels sooner rather than later. Prices may have retreated from yesterday's three-week high of $1287, giving an impression of a weak bullish move, although the price chart and the options market activity point indicate better days ahead of the safe haven yellow metal.

Daily chart
- The above chart shows a descending triangle breakout, which is a continuation pattern, meaning the rally from the Jul. 10 low of $1204.70 has resumed.
- The bullish breakout was confirmed on Nov. 6. Bears attempted to push the metal back below the trendline support on the following day, but failed.
- Clearly, the doors are open for a rally to $1300 levels.
- Only an end-of-the-day close below $1270 would abort the bullish view on the daily chart.
The bullish story doesn't end here. A look at the options market activity indicates strong demand for the bullish bets (call options).

The above chart shows-
- $1300 call has added 3304 contracts last week. Meanwhile, $1270 put added 1090 contracts.
- Big jump in the OI in $1300 call suggests the yellow metal is seen rallying at least to $1300 levels in the short-run.
View
- Gold is likely to test $1300-$1306.05 (Oct. 6 high). A violation there would confirm a double bottom reversal and shall open up upside towards the September high of $1357.52.
- On the downside, a break below the 200-day MA level of $1263 would revive the bearish move.
