Gold trend conditions are bullish, however, the yellow metal remains in bearish cycle and the recent move lower is considered corrective. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up and this highlights an uptrend. Support to watch is $1976.8, the 50-day EMA and $1969.3, the Apr 19 low. A clear break of this support zone is required to highlight a stronger bearish threat. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at $2063.0, the May 4 high.
