A small five-wave cycle has been completed on the rise from $1,722.50 to $1,787.28, and that has been confirmed by a bearish divergence on the 10-minute RSI indicator.

Based on a Fibonacci retracement analysis, gold would retrace to the 23.6 percent level, which could be the minimum depth, and a fall below would trigger a further loss to $1,763, the 38.2 percent level.

A rise above $1,787 will invalidate the bearish outlook.
