Break below the $1670 June 2020 low to target $1584

“Gold has seen a strong bounce off the March lows at $1679/$1677, which is approaching tougher resistance offered by the 55, 100 and 200-day ma at $1806/12 and the resistance line at $1813. We suspect that this will repel the advance at least on the initial test and provoke some further consolidation.”

“Key resistance is the mid-July high at $1834, a move above here is needed to retest the $1856/57 4th June low and the $1878 2020-2021 downtrend.”

“Support at “1679/$1677 is reinforced by the $1670 June 2020 low.

“Below $1670 (not favoured) would target the 2018-2021 uptrend at $1584.”
