Gold maintains a firmer short-term tone and is trading closer to its recent highs. The yellow metal to test resistance at $1857.6, the 20-day EMA. This suggests potential for a test of the 50-day EMA at $1879.9. Gains are still considered corrective though and the primary trend direction is down. A resumption of bearish activity would refocus attention on the May 16 $1787.0 low.
