After I highlighted the potential for a short-term breakdown yesterday, the precious metal went on to break that $3,300 support and dropped a good $50 below it, before finding STRONG support at $3250 - a level that had not been re-tested yet after the upside breakout last week. Where do we go now, is the key question.
Well, gold is now near the resistance trend derived from connecting the recent lower highs, around the $3325 zone. A clean break above this trend could target $3,360 initially, ahead of $3,400 and then there's nothing significant until the all-time high at $3,500.
On the downside, the reclaimed support at $3,300 is now key. It needs to hold its own above this level to prevent a bigger slide down the line.
