Resistance at $1,790-94 remains key and if bulls manage to break above this level we will have a bullish signal. Support is at $1,770. Breaking below this level will open the way for the pull back we were expecting towards $1,755-45. If the bull flag is activated, then Gold price will have target of $1,850.
