Will gold rebound have legs?

Gold has been regaining ground since rebounding from the $1306 support zone last week. However, until we see a break above $1341, there is a worry that we are simply seeing another retracement before we turn lower once more.

Yesterday’s losses brought the price into an interesting support zone of $1315-$1317, which raises the likeliness of another turn lower following the 61.8% retracement. However, such a move is not clear yet. Watch out for a break back below $1317 to provide a more bearish outlook, while a break above $1341 would be required to negate the chance of another turn lower.

Brent turning lower after sharp rally

Brent looks to be back in the driving seat, following on from a near-76.4% retracement last week.

With Brent creating higher highs and higher lows in the short term, there is a good chance that we are seeing a short-term retracement this morning. This should provide a bullish buying opportunity. This short-term view remains unless the price breaks below the $64.04 swing low.
