Gold sells off after recent ascent

Gold has been moving lower off the back of a period of gains which took us into the top end of a range.

That rally into trendline support has since provided us with a move lower, which seems likely to persist despite early gains today. Unless we see a move through the $1208 mark, this current rally looks unlikely to last, with further downside expected to retain within the range.

Brent rallying higher from shallow pullback

Brent has been pushing higher after a shallow 38.2% retracement, with the uptrend remaining intact.

With the price slowing now, there is a good chance that we will see a pullback, but whether that happens or not it looks likely we will push upwards again, as long as the price does not fall below $83.94.
