Gold technical outlook
On the four-hour chart, gold seems to have reversed its course near $1,760, where the Fibonacci 50% retracement of the Thursday-Friday slump is located. Currently, the price is staying below the Fibonacci 23.6% retracement at $1,738 and the next target could be seen at$1,727 (Friday's closing level) and $1,717 (multi-month low).
However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator on the same chart is staying within a touching distance of 30, suggesting that sellers could opt out to wait for another correction before the next leg down.
On the upside, $1,760 aligns as the next important hurdle ahead of $1,770 (Fibonacci 61.8% retracement) and $1,780 (50-SMA).
