Gold heading for another test of range top
Gold is pushing back to the top end of the trading range that has prevailed since the end of August.
Rallies to $1214 tend to run out of steam, so we will see if this one is any different. If it does turn lower then the mid-range $1195 level and then the $1190 area come in as support. A breakout from $1214 or $1190 is needed to suggest the beginning of a wider move.
