Gold Technical Analysis and Near-Term Outlook
Gold retains a bearish near-term outlook after falling to the $1834 smaller than (0.618) target of the newly formed primary wave down from $1874.6. There is immediate support at $1829 still. However, barring any random influence from external factors, this wave down from $1874.6 is now poised to reach its $1817 equal to (1.00) target. Closing below $1817 will clear the way for $1802 and lower.
Nevertheless, the decline from $1874.6 has been quite choppy and might still prove to be corrective of a larger move up from $1800.8. Should gold overcome $1855 look for a test of $1874. This is the smaller than target of the wave up from $1800.8 and the barrier to a more significant test of resistance. Settling above $1874 would clear the way for $1902 and possibly $1926, the higher of which is the gateway to a bullish outlook.
