Gold fell to nearly challenge the $2308.7 confirmation point of a double top that formed around $2474 a few weeks ago again. Prices have settled below the smaller than (0.618) targets of the waves down from $2477 and $2358.8. Therefore, the move down should now extend to these waves’ respective $2261 and $2303 equal to (1.00) targets. Such a move will take out the $2308.7 swing low, a close below which will confirm the double top that would then target $2143.

Tomorrow, look for a test of the $2296 smaller than target of the wave down from $2406.7. This wave also connects to $2261 as the equal to target. The $2261 level is crucial because it is also a highly confluent retracement level that lines up with the 100-day moving average. Therefore, a corrective test of resistance is anticipated before sustaining a close below $2261.

Should the move down stall again and prices rise tomorrow look for initial resistance at $2345. Closing above this would call for another attempt to overcome key near-term resistance at $2368.

Gold could not close below the 78 percent retracement of the rise from $2308.7 at $2346 after testing and holding the $2336 XC (2.764) projection of the prior primary wave down from $2477. Prices have risen for the past couple of days and have broken higher out of a period of consolidation. Today’s close above the 38 percent retracement of the decline from $2477 and the $2375.5 confirmation point of a $2335 double bottom warns that the move down might be complete. This move up also suggests that gold will fail to confirm a double top around $2474 by closing below the $2308.7 swing low.

Tomorrow, look for a test of $2408, a close above which will call for $2420. The $2420 objective is split between the $2417 target of the double bottom and the 62 percent retracement of the decline from $2477 at $2423. Settling above $2420 would provide more evidence that the move down is complete. This would also call for a test of the $2439 smaller than (0.618) target of the wave up from $2308.7 in the coming days.

Should prices turn lower again and take out $2373 look for a test of $2359 and possibly another attempt to take out $2346. Settling below $2346 would shift near-term odds back in favor of gold falling to $2327 and eventually $2309.

August gold is struggling to take out support around $2346 and today’s doji warns that the move down from $2477 may be complete. However, a double top around $2474, last week’s bearish engulfing line, confirmed daily bearish KasePO, KaseCD, RSI, Stochastic, and MACD divergences, and a sustained close below the 62 percent retracement of the rise from $2308.7 imply a deeper test of support should still take place. Closing below $2346 will call for $2329 and then a test of the $2309 smaller than (0.618) target of the largest wave down from $2477.

Nevertheless, the move down has been lackluster after last week’s decline from $2477. One could also make a case for a double bottom around $2347. Should prices rise tomorrow and overcome the 38 percent retracement of the decline from $2477 at $2394 look for a test of $2410 and possibly key resistance at $2426. This is the 62 percent retracement of the decline from $2477. Therefore, settling above $2426 would strongly imply that the move down from $2477 is a completed correction of the long-term uptrend.

Gold’s pullback from $2454.2 extended today and settled below the 62 percent retracement of the rise from $2285.2 and the 20-day moving average. Daily bearish KasePO, KaseCD, RSI, Stochastic, and MACD divergence were also confirmed within the past few days. Currently, there is also a weekly bearish RSI divergence and a weekly bearish engulfing line. The move down is likely a correction of the uptrend, but these bearish technical factors imply that a significant test of support will likely unfold in the coming days.

Tomorrow, look for a test of $2316. This is the lowest that the first wave down from $2454.2 projects, so this is a potential stalling point. Even so, a move up will probably be a correction of the recent pullback and should hold today’s $2360 midpoint. Settling below $2316 will clear the way for a test of $2284 and possibly a major support target at $2235 in the coming days.

Should gold overcome $2360 look for a test of key near-term resistance at $2380. Settling above $2380 would warn that the corrective pullback is complete and call for a test of $2406 and possibly the $2433 smaller than (0.618) target of the wave up from $2285.2 instead.

Gold rose to test the $2350 smaller than (0.618) target of the wave up from $2304.6 before pulling back again. This implies that the wave up from $2304.6 will test its $2366 equal to (1.00) target. However, the pullback from $2350.9 took out the 62 percent retracement of the rise from $2324.8. Therefore, odds lean in favor of taking out the $2324.8 swing low to challenge the 62 percent retracement of the rise from $2304.6 at $2322. This will invalidate the wave up from $2304.6 that projects to $2366 and higher. This will also call for a test of $2301 and then the $2283 intermediate (1.382) target of the wave down from $2448.8.

Nevertheless, while the $2324.8 swing low holds there is still a reasonable chance for a test of $2366. Closing above this will call for key resistance and larger than (1.618) target of the wave up from $2304.6 at $2400 to be challenged. The $2400 level is also the 62 percent retracement from $2448.8 and confirmation point of the bullish daily candlesticks that formed Tuesday and Wednesday. Settling above $2400 would imply that the corrective move down is complete, shifting the odds in favor of gold rising to $2433 and higher.

Gold has been trading in a small corrective range for the past few days. Last week’s late pullback from $2448.8 and the formation of weekly and daily shooting stars and daily weak bearish divergences warn that a reversal might still take place. However, prices are rising toward a key near-term target at $2419. Therefore, the pullback from $2448.8 will probably prove to be a short-lived correction. A move above $2407 will call for a test of $2419. Closing above $2419 will open the way for $2452, which then connects to $2473 and higher.

With that said, this is a tight call for the near term because given the bearish patterns and signals mentioned above there is still a reasonable chance for a test of key support at $2348. This is the smaller than (0.618) target of the wave down from $2448.8. Taking out $2381 will call for a test of $2365 and possibly $2348. Settling below $2348 will shift the near-term odds in favor of gold falling to $2306 and possibly lower.

Gold rallied to settle above Wednesday’s open. The move up also overcame the $2378 equal to (1.00) target of the waves up from $2016.3 and $2337.1 as well as the intermediate (1.382) target of the wave up from $2343.1 and the 89 percent retracement of the decline from $2384.5 during post-settlement trading hours. Today’s rise implies that the corrective pullback from $2384.5 is complete. Tomorrow, look for a test of $2394. Settling above this will open the way for $2410 and then a test of the next major uptrend objective at $2446 in the coming days.

Because the $2384.5 swing high held, bearish daily divergences that were confirmed at that high are still intact. It is doubtful that $2384.5 will continue to hold. Even so, should prices turn lower and take out $2365 look for a test of $2354 and possibly key near-term support at $2335.

Gold rose today and settled above the 62 percent retracement of the decline from $2200.6 at $2190. The uptrend is intact but this is a tight call for the near term because the corrective move down from $2225.3 still shows potential to extend upon a close below key support at $2159. Even so, today’s rise has positioned gold to challenge key near-term resistance at $2203. This is in line with the 62 percent retracement from $2225.3 and the smaller than (0.618) target of the wave up from $2158.4. Settling above $2203 will strongly imply that the correction is complete and open the way for $2218 and then a test of this wave’s $2233 equal to (1.00) target.

Nevertheless, trading has been erratic for the past week and the close above $2190 was nominal. Should gold fall again look for initial support at $2179 and then $2168. Closing below $2168 would warn that the move up is failing again and call for a test of key support and the smaller than target of the wave down from $2225.3 at $2159. Settling below this will call for the corrective move down to extend to $2136 and possibly lower.

Gold rallied and stalled just above the $2221 target discussed in Wednesday’s analysis at $2225.3 before pulling back. A daily long-legged doji reflects near-term uncertainty and warns that a deeper test of support will likely take place before the uptrend extends to the next major target at $2246. This is a tight call, but near-term odds favor a test of the $2175 larger than (1.618) target of the wave down from $2225.3. Closing below this will call for the corrective move down to extend to $2165, $2149, and possibly $2138 in the coming days.

Nevertheless, prices rose at the end of the day and may challenge the 62 percent retracement of the decline from $2225.3 at $2203 early tomorrow. This is also the prior swing high. Closing above $2203 would strongly suggest that the move down from $2225.3 is complete. Settling above the $2215 smaller than (0.618) target of the wave up from $2149.2 will confirm this is the case and put the odds in favor of gold rising to $2246.

Gold fell to test the $2156.2 swing low, smaller than (0.618) target of the wave down from $2203, and 21 percent retracement of the rise from $1996.4 today. These levels around $2156 held on a closing basis. Even so, waves that meet their smaller than target typically extend to at least the equal to (1.00) target, in this case, $2139. The move down is likely a correction, but near-term odds lean in favor of testing $2139 before the move up continues. Taking out $2156 will increase the odds for such a move within the next few days.

Nevertheless, the pullback from $2203 may be in the process of forming a flat descending triangle. This is a continuation pattern and would be bullish for the outlook given $2156 continues to hold. Should gold rise above $2175 early tomorrow look for a test of the $2185.6 swing high. Settling above this would confirm a break higher and put near-term odds in favor of reaching $2205 and higher in the coming days.
