SINGAPORE: Spot gold still targets a range of $1,483-$1,503 per ounce, as suggested by its wave pattern and a retracement analysis.
The correction from the Aug. 16 high of $1,534.31 consists of three waves. The third wave labelled c is unfolding towards a support at $1,483, the 38.2% retracement of the uptrend from $1,400.31 to $1,534.31.
Resistance is at $1,515, a break above which may lead to a gain to $1,525. Only a further gain could signal the continuation of the uptrend.
On the daily chart, gold failed twice to break a resistance at $1,524, the 138.2% projection level of an upward wave (c) from $1,265.90. The bearish divergence on the daily RSI suggests a slim chance of a break above this resistance.
Most likely, the metal would fall into a range of $1,466-$1,480, which is lower than the range of $1,483-$1,503 (hourly chart). A break above $1,524 could lead to a gain to $1,546.
