Gold falters for the time being

The uptrend for gold remains in pace here, with temporary weakness likely to prove to be a buying opportunity.

First areas to look for support come in at $1337 and $1326, with a loss of these likely to suggest a turn is at hand. We have seen momentum weaken, although not terminally. A push higher targets $1357 and then $1366.

Further gains should be expected, with a close below $62.76 needed to put a more bearish spin on the current outlook.
