Gold can face resistance near-term – Elliott wave analysis
|GOLD is looking bullish, however on the daily chart we see price in final stages of a bigger Elliott wave ending diagonal. An Elliott wave ending diagonal is a reversal pattern, and can once completed, push price into a sharp reversal. In our case we expect to see a three-wave A-B-C move, once wave V fully develops.
The Elliott wave ending diaognal will be completed, once we see a sharp drop below the lower Elliott wave ending diagonal line, and below the 1667 level.
Also, for further indication that the price can turn lower in days or weeks ahead can be a divergence on the Relative strength index below the chart.

In all cases, they are found at the termination points of larger patterns, indicating exhaustion of the larger movement.
