Gold attempting to regain ground from range support

Gold has declined into the bottom of its range this week, with the price reaching the $1303 support level from early March.

The ability or inability to break below that level would be key to determining whether we are going to see a bearish breakout or not. As such, watch for an hourly close below $1303 for a bearish signal, while a rally above the $1314 level would help build a more bullish picture.

Brent continues to respect support amid consolidation

Brent has been in consolidation mode over the past two weeks. The $72.39-$72.49 support zone has been key to drawing a line under any selling, and this appears to be on the cards yet again this week.

With the price starting to turn higher there is a strong chance we will see a rebound towards the $74.25 resistance level. A break below $72.39 would signal the potential of a wider retracement.
