Gold traded sharply lower last Thursday. The move down resulted in a break of support at the 50-day EMA - at $1951.4. A continuation lower would threaten the recent bullish theme and instead expose support at $1924.5, the Jul 11 low. Clearance of this level would expose key support at $1893.1, the Jun 29 low. Key short-term resistance has been defined at $1987.5, the Jul 20 high. A break of this hurdle is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
