SINGAPORE: Spot gold may retest a support at $1,299 per ounce, as suggested by its wave pattern and a projection analysis.
The current correction is driven by a wave (4), the fourth of a five-wave cycle from $1,195.90. This wave consists of three waves. The second wave labeled b may end below a resistance at $1,321, the 150 percent projection level of the cycle.
The third wave labeled c is yet to unfold. This wave c may travel into the range of $1,291-$1,299, as pointed by a rising trendline.
On a longer-term chart, gold failed to break a resistance at $1,317. The failure caused a correction towards $1,287, the 61.8 percent retracement of the downtrend from $1,365.23 to $1,159.96.
A break above $1,321 (first chart) could lead to a gain to $1,331.
