Key quotes

“Although gold has been unable to follow-through to the upside following what we viewed as a bull ‘wedge’, we continue to look for key flagged support at $1837 to ideally hold further weakness - the 38.2% retracement of the rally from March – for a fresh attempt to complete a bullish continuation pattern. Back above $1966 is needed to add weight to this view for $2016 initially, then a retest of the $2075 August high.

“An eventual move above the August high at $2075 stays looked for with resistance seen next at $2175, then $2300.”

“Below $1837 would warn of a deeper but still we think corrective setback to the 200- day average at $1783, potentially even $1726, but with a fresh hold looked for here.”
