Uptrend at $1844 is the next stop on the downside

“Gold’s high of $1916.91 has not been confirmed by the daily RSI and in fact, yesterday’s price action constituted a key day reversal.” 

“We look for a correction lower to take hold and would allow for some slippage back to $1844, the short-term uptrend and the 200-day ma at $1842.” 

“The 55-day ma at $1794 is expected to be the maximum downside we see and we then look for resumption of the long-term uptrend.”

“Longer-term, we target the $1959/65 November 2020 high and the 2021 high. These guard the 1989/78.6% retracement and the 2072 2020 peak. Longer-term, we believe that this will also be overcome.” 

“Key support is the $1718 2091-2021 uptrend. While above here we will assume a longer-term upside bias.”
