A fresh cycle low this week in Gold highlights an extension of the bear cycle that started Oct 20. Note that the trend is overbought and the deeper retracement is allowing this condition to unwind. The 20-day EMA has been breached, signalling scope for a deeper retracement, towards the 50-day EMA, at $3846.3. Key resistance and the bull trigger has been defined at $4381.5, the Oct 20 high. Initial resistance is at $4161.4, the Oct 22 high.
