Gold maintains a bullish focus and is approaching recent highs. The yellow metal is still showing signs of base building following the recent false break of the channel base drawn from the Aug 9 low. Attention is on $1820.3, the Dec 29/31 high. A break would strengthen the bullish theme and suggest scope for a move higher near term. This would open $1830.0, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm support to watch is at $1773.9, the channel base.
