Gold longs at the best support for today at 1694/93 were perfect, but shorts at 1704/06 stopped above 1712 so we gave back some profit. The next test overran a little, but only to 1691.

Longs at 1694/93 targets 1704/06, perhaps as far as 1712/13. A break higher targets 1718/20. Unlikely but if we continue higher look for 1728 & 1731/32 before a retest of 1738. Obviously we have key resistance at the bull market high of 1744/46. A sustained break above is a buy signal initially targeting 1750/51.

1552 & 1559/62. Try shorts at 1583/88 with stops above 1593.
