Gold struggling and more downside possible
We continue to wait to see whether gold can break below key support at $1214, to create more downside.
Good short-term support was provided at $1217-$1221, but a bounce will need a break above $1229, where gains stalled earlier in the week. Longer-term, $1240 and then $1255 are the areas to watch on the upside.
