The bounce was expected from the price 1215-16 in our previous forecast.Gold move exactly as per the expectations and bounce from 1216 towards 1243 but fail to break the resistance of 1243-45.
Rejection twice from the resistance indicating a confusion between bulls and bears.I am sharing my technical thoughts in 3 different time frame charts below.

Weekly Overview

Weekly closing looks like "Doji" which is one of the earliest signals of reversal.Gold could move lower to retest weekly support before a new high. The minimum correction level is 1219-21 and maximum at 1201.Movement below 1230 will give more confidence. The overall trend is still bullish, and longer term gold target is 1271-75 which is also the weekly trend resistance.

Alternately: if gold fail to give reversal, move higher and close above 1249-51 in a weekly candle. This will be the confirmation of trend continuation and could take gold directly towards 1271-75 area.
