Gold back at key resistance level
Gold has rebounded from another deep retracement, with the inability to break below $1289 absolutely key in determining the bias for this market. Unless that level was broken there was always a good chance of another bounce, which has ultimately played out.
This brings us back into the $1303 resistance level, which is going to be key for today’s trade. A break and hourly close above that level points towards a potential rally into the crucial $1307 mark, above which we would be looking at the possibility of a wider and more longstanding recovery. As such, watch the reaction to this $1303 level as a guide of whether we will remain within this short-term range, or break higher towards the $1307 resistance level.
