FX.co ★ Gold analysis for December 17, 2014

Overview :

Since our last analysis, gold has been trading downward. The price tested and rejected from the level of 1,187.96. Our corrective Fibonacci expansion 161.8% at the price of 1.195.00 has been held successfully, which caused price to start with an upward movement. I placed Fibonacci retracement to find potential support levels and got Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the price of 1,180.00. My advice is to look for buying opportunities near the lows (after retracement). According to the 1H time frame, we can observe selling climax and gold is not in absorption phase. So, selling gold at this stage looks risky, watch for potential buying oppoprtunities. According to the daily time frame, we got indecision bar.
