Gold rebounds for now
Dollar weakness has allowed gold to rebound from the lower high created at the end of last week, but with all three main moving averages pointing lower the downtrend remains firmly intact.
A bounce back to $1260 would see the previous swing high challenged, and then on to the downtrend resistance line around $1270. A fresh decline will challenge support at $1214 and then $1204.
