As safe haven money flow diverted to dollar rising to 99.15 Gold came under pressure caused by failure to reclaim successfully the psychological zone $3400 yesterday and prices dipped to $3347 where buyers resurfaces with a strong buying push taking the metal up for a rebound to immediate resistance $3378.

Bulls need to make a strong move breaking above this $3378 hurdle to advance further towards day high $3388 to ease the way to reclaim $3400 and extend the rally towards next leg $3420-$3450.

It is important to note that prevailing bullish momentum requires stability above $3347 failing which the metal may drop back to $3338-$3328-$3308.
