  • SUP 1: $1835.38 Low Feb 15
  • SUP 2: $1825.2 - Low Jan 5 and key near-term support

  • SUP 4: $1787.3 - 50.0% retracement of the Sep 28 - Feb 2 bull leg

Trend conditions in Gold are bearish for now, and the yellow metal remains in a corrective cycle. This follows the strong sell-off on Feb 2 / 3 as well as the break of support at the 50-day EMA early Wednesday. A clear break here would strengthen a bearish case and suggest scope for a deeper pullback - towards $1825.2, the Jan 5 low. On the upside, key resistance and the bull trigger is at $1959.7, the Feb 2 high.
