Technical outlook and chart setups:

Gold might be preparing to at least pullback from current levels at $1,234.00/35.00, after printing lows around $1,225.00/26.00 levels last week. A daily reversal signal is still awaited to confirm the same though. As depicted here, the metal is seen to be bouncing off the 0.786 fibonacci support of the entire rally between $1,180.00 and $1,388.00. A bullish reversal here, still keeps the uptrend structure intact while a break below, could see the metal testing $1,180.00 levels again before reversing. Immediate support is seen at $1,218.00 levels, followed by $1,180.00/82.00 while resistance is seen at $1,277.00, followed by $1,296.00 and higher up respectively.

Trading recommendations:

Remain flat for now. Look to initiate long positions.

Good luck!
