SINGAPORE: Spot gold may retest a resistance at $1,788 per bounce, with a good chance to break this level and rise to $1,805.
The bounce was due to the completion of a five-wave cycle from $1,876.90. It may extend to the peak of the wave iv around $1,819.
A retracement analysis reveals a lower target of $1,805.
This wave mode suggests an extension of the downtrend far below $1,761. The trend is expected to resume upon the completion of the bounce around $1,805.
However, the resumption may come earlier as well, as the bounce looks disappointingly weak. It simply can't extend above a rising trendline. All the efforts of bulls seem to have contributed to a possible pullback.
