Gold, daily chart, prior analysis

The M-formation was a pattern identified in the prior analysis:

''This is a reversion pattern and the neckline of the formation would be expected to lure in the price. A break of the March 10 highs, near $2,010, will clear the path for 'blue skies'.''

The price broke the consolidation highs and has rallied into the vicinity of the neckline area where is now stalling at. The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the bullish impulse has a confluence with the prior highs and old resistance. This would be expected to be retested and if it were to hold, then a bullish continuation would be a high probability.

Gold, H4 chart

The price is retesting the neckline of the four-hour chart's M-formation. Failures to close above it would be expected to see a fuller correction to the 38.2% Fibo.
