Gold traded in a tight range yesterday. The overall daily movement was pretty much like the day before – pulling back before the day’s end.; the price climbed to the day-high 1660 in the early session and retraced back to the opening price of 1650 before the day’s end.

The S-T trend is still controlled by the S-T downtrend resistance (1.1) that was mentioned yesterday. Overall, the market is bearish. However, the short-selling before 1650 is still relatively weak. Due to the lack of momentum, expect the price to remain within 1640-65(2) until it escapes.

The pullbacks before the day’s end on the second consecutive day have created another bearish signal on the daily chart. Wait for the signal; a new round of selling should only begin if the price close below 1650 on the daily chart; before that, the price should continue to wander around 1650.
