Gold reversed sharply higher last week and the yellow metal has traded higher today. Resistance at $1858.3, the Mar 6 high has been cleared. This signals scope for an extension towards $1900.6, a Fibonacci retracement point and a key near-term resistance. On the downside, initial firm support is seen at $1844.3, the 50-day EMA. A break of this level is required to instead signal a top - this would expose the bear trigger at $1804.9. Feb 28 low.
