Daily Forecast - 24 January 2017

Gold Spot

Gold most important of the day is obviously strong resistance at 1218/19. We may be witnessing the top of the bear market correction as bears sell in to this level. Shorts need stops above 1222 but be ready to buy a break above here for some profit taking on longs at the next targets of 1228/29 & 1232/33. Failure to beat 1218/19 targets 1209/10 (& this level worked perfectly yesterday as we bottomed exactly here). However the bear trend is likely to resume at some stage this week so below here helps to confirm a negative outlook & a top in place, targeting 1206/05 then support at 1197/95. A good chance of a low for the day but longs will be increasingly risky (if I'm right about the bear trend resuming). A break lower therefore is an added sell signal & sees 1197/96 act as resistance targeting the best support for the week at 1183/82 for some profit taking on shorts as we become oversold in the short term.
