Technical outlook:

Gold is seen to be trading around $1,225/26 levels for now, and is expected to retrace lower, before finding support and resuming its rally. Please note that the counter trend drop is expected to terminate around $1,214 levels, and possibly $1,208 levels before it finds support to turn higher. Also note that there is convergence seen at $1,208 levels, as depicted on the 4H chart here and hence probability remains high for a drop there. The next upswing is expected to push through $1,248/50 levels at least, as depicted here as fibonacci extensions. If prices manage to push further higher, it could reach $1,270 levels easily before turning lower again. Interim support is seen at $1,295 levels and prices should stay above that to keep bullish structure intact.

Trading plan:

Long around $1,210/12, stop below $1,190, target $1,250 at least.

Good luck!
