Gold has this week failed to hold onto recent highs. The pullback from $1998.4, the Apr 18 high, has resulted in a move below the 20-day EMA and has exposed the 50-day EMA at $1926.5. A break of this average would suggest scope for a deeper pullback and open $1915.5, Apr 6 low and the key support at $1890.2, the Mar 29 low. Clearance of $1998.4 would reinstate a bullish theme.
