Gold traded higher again yesterday and has breached initial resistance at $1966.1, the Mar 24 high. The move above this hurdle highlights a range breakout and suggests scope for an extension of current short-term gains. The focus is on $1980.3 and $2001.6, Fibonacci retracement levels. On the downside, key support has been defined at $1890.2, the Mar 29 low. A breach of this support would reinstate a bearish threat.
