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.

The market has been quiet since the rapid drop after the US CPIs the day before.

If the price breaks the resistance line(2), the S-T upside target can be set at yesterday’s high of 1707. On the other hand, 1680 remains the critical support.

The structure hasn’t changed much in the daily chart; the price remains in the 1690-1730(4) range. It will be ready to move below 1680 if the price closes below 1695.
