Gold Technical Analysis – The gold markets went back and forth during the course of the session on Wednesday, as the $1325 level offered enough of a bounce to form a relatively supportive looking candle. If we can break above the top of the candle for the session on Wednesday, this market should continue to go much higher, and perhaps try to reach towards the highs yet again. At this point in time, it’s likely that the markets will continue to find buyers below, as so many currencies are definitely toxic at this point in time. Gold will continue to be a shelter from European issues.

August Comex Gold futures broke sharply on Tuesday, signaling a major shift in momentum to the downside. The strong stock market is hurting gold prices because it is drawing investors away from the asset. With stocks erasing their post-Brexit losses, it appears that gold investors who bought the precious metal against uncertainty have decided to take profits after a long rally.The main trend is up according to the daily swing despite the loss of momentum. The uptrend will resume on a trade through $1377.50 and turn down on a trade through $1252.80.The main range is $1252.80 to $1377.50. Its retracement zone at $1315.20 to $1300.40 is the primary downside target. An uptrending angle passes through this zone at $1300.80, making it a valid downside target also.
