Gold finally breaks out of consolidation today and reaches as low as 1201.24 so far. The down trend from 1365.24 has resumed. Near term outlook will now stay bearish as long as 1217.31 resistance holds. Next target is 1172.07 fibonacci level. On the upside, though, break of 1217.31 will indicate short term bottoming. And rebound could be seen back to 55 day EMA (now at 1247.14 before staging another decline.
Currently decline from 1365.24 is viewed as part of the long term sideway pattern from 1046.54 (2015 low). Sustained break of 61.8% retracement of 1045.65 to 1375.15 will pave the way to 1046.54/1122/81 support zone. At this point, we’re not expecting a break there to resume long term down trend yet. Hence, we’ll look for bottoming signal below 1122.81.
