The monthly chart below shows how close the price is to the all-time high. If the USD 1800 per ounce level does give way then the probability of a test becomes far larger. Beyond that, the sky is the limit.
Gold 4-hour chart
The 4-hour chart shows the confluence of zones all matching up nicely. The 138.2% Fib extension is matching up very closely to the USD 1800 per troy ounce level.

Looking at the Relative Strength Index a bearish divergence is setting up but there have been many in this bull trend.
