Gold shows at a new cycle high early Thursday, adding to recent gains and topping key resistance at 1985.3, the May 24 high. A close above here could presage a stronger reversal higher. Strength follows the break of the 50-day EMA at 1948.3. The break signalled scope for a continuation of the current corrective cycle. This opens $1968.00, the Jun 16 high. Key support and the bear is at $1893.1, the Jun 29 low.
