SINGAPORE: Spot gold may test a support at $1,783 per ounce, a break below which could cause a fall into $1,770-$1,776 range.

After the sharp surge on Wednesday, the metal seems to have lost its momentum around the resistances at $1,795 and $1,802 respectively.

The surge is classified as an extension of the bounce from $1,720.49. The zigzagging mode of the uptrend from $1,744.84 suggests a deep reversal of the rise.

Gold prices increase by Rs2,300 to Rs119,000

A break above $1,803 could lead to a gain into $1,807-$1,814 range. On the daily chart, gold faces a resistance at $1,800, which is strengthened by a similar one established by the upper trendline of a wedge.

The metal is likely to fall towards $1,739-$1,773 range. A break above $1,800 will make the wedge invalid.

A bullish target range of $1,828-$1,862 will be established accordingly.
