Gold drops to $3,306, upside challenged by $3,338-$3,345, bears eyeing for $3,293-$3,273

The announcement from Trump administration about potential trade deal with multiple countries lifts sentiments for Dollar strength and a possible recovery to 97.70 - 97.90 causing safe haven flow from Gold o Dollar.

Gestures from Federal Reserve about unlikely rate cut in July makes Gold traders cautious.

A strong rejection seen from $3345-$3338 areas increases selling pressure in Gold which again breaks below $3320 (38.2% Fibonacci zone) to drop straight to $3306 (50% Fibonacci zone)

Some measured recovery is seen from off the lows and faces hurdle at broken support turned into immediate resistance $3320

If Gold consolidates and breaks above $3320, prices are likely to extend recovery towards $3325-$3333-$3338

Bullish conviction however, requires a decisive break above $3338-$3348

On the flip side, break below $3306 will expose next downside potential to $3293 followed by $3273 aligning with 61.8% and 78.6% Fibonacci zones respectively.
