SINGAPORE: Spot gold may break a support $1,784 per ounce, and fall towards a range of $1,767-$1,773.

A five-wave cycle from the July 21 low of $1,680.25 may have completed, as suggested by a break below a rising trendline.

The bearish divergence on the hourly RSI indicates a remote chance of the uptrend extension.

A decent correction could have started, aiming at $1,756, near the bottom of the wave d.

The consolidation in the range of $1,784-$1,801 is regarded as a preparation for a deep fall, instead of a rise.
