With 4 hours MACD crossed above signal line, an intraday low is in place in gold and some more consolidations could be seen. Nevertheless, risk remains on the downside as long as 1001 minor resistance holds. Below 985.5 support will bring fall resumption to 61.8% retracement of 931.3 to 1025.8 at 967.4 But downside is expected to be contained there and bring rebound. On the upside, above 1001 minor resistance will flip intraday bias back to the upside for retesting 1025.8 high. However, note that 1033.9 is needed to be firmly taken out to confirm upside momentum. Otherwise, we’d expected more sideway trading below 1033.9 in near term.
In the bigger picture, rise from 681 is tentatively treated as resumption of long term up trend. Sustained break of 1033.9 high will confirm this case and should target 61.8% projection of 681 to 1007.7 from 931.3 at 1133.2 next. While some consolidations might be seen in near term before decisive break of 1033.9, downside should be contained well above 931.3 support and bring rally resumption. However, note that a break of 931.3 dampen the bullish view and suggest that rise from 681 has completed. This will in turn indicate that such rise is merely part of the consolidation pattern that started at 1033.9.
