Key Quotes

“Gold is holding steady just above the 1791.45 12th July low. It really needs to overcome the 1834.16 mid-July high to regenerate upside interest and at currently levels we are relatively neutral.”

“The daily Elliott wave count remains negative and below 1790 will target the 1752 2019-2021 uptrend line.”

“While above there we will retain our longer term upside bias, however the lack of a sustained bounce is worrying. Above 1834.16 lies the 1857.25 4 th June low. This guards the June high at 1916.91 and Fibo at 1921.”

“Longer term we still target the 1959/65 November 2020 high and the 2021 high. These guard the 1989/78.6% retracement and the 2072 2020 peak.”

“The 78.6% retracement lies at 1728.90 and only below here will target the 1677.73/1676.80 lows seen in March.”
