Spot gold to fall to $1,216, target at $1,245 aborted

15 Oct, 2014

SINGAPORE: A bullish target at $1,245 per ounce has been aborted for spot gold and a bearish one at $1,216 has been established.

A rebound from the Oct. 6 low of $1,183.46 is against the downtrend from the Aug. 8 high of $1,322.60, instead of the trend from the July 10 high of $1,345, as gold failed to break resistance at $1,237, the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement on the fall from $1,322.60 to $1,183.46.

The immediate support will be at $1,216, the 23.6 percent retracement, a break below which will lead to a further loss to $1,204, the 14.6 percent level. A break above $1,237 will open the way towards $1,253, the 50 percent level.
