Red line - long-term support trend line

For some time in our analysis we pointed out that as long as price is below $1,850 the key pivot level, price was vulnerable to a move towards $1,750-$1,700. Also our Ichimoku cloud analysis has also pointed out that Gold was about to test major cloud support around $1,700. Today Gold price has reached the lower channel boundary and is very close to the long-term upward sloping support trend line at $1,690. So far there is no sign of a reversal or that of a major bottom.Gold bulls tried mid week to push price back above $1,820-30 but failed to do so. Price made another lower high and is now making lower lows. The Daily RSI is still making new lows and not in oversold area. Resistance is found now at $1,760, previous support. Any bounce should find strong resistance at $1,760 and next at $1,810.
