• Trading Tips

We may have a short opportunity if the price stabilizes and males a valid breakdown below $1,632 and below the 23.6% retracement level. The first downside target will be represented by the $1,600 psychological level. The 38.2% is seen as a static support as well.

The potential downside movement could be invalidated only if the price fails to stay below the mentioned support area, if Gold registers a false breakdown with a great separation or if we see a bullish engulfing pattern in this support area. However, a further increase towards fresh new highs will be confirmed only above $1,660 previous highs. So, the bias is bearish right now on the short term.
