GOLD Spot


Spot gold holds negative near-term tone, following upside rejection at 1590 and sharp fall that erased nearly 76.4% of 1539/1590 recovery rally. Prevailing negative tone on 4h chart, with price below 20/55 EMA’s bearish crossover, keeps the downside in focus, with consolidation / limited correction on oversold hourlies, expected to precede fresh weakness, as 10 day EMA caps the upside attempts for now. Initial supports lie at 1553, session low and 1549, 05 Apr low, below which to open 1539, 04 Apr low, for full retracement. Only break above 1576, 61.8% of 1590/1553 descend / 55 day EMA, would revive bulls.
