EMA 20 and EMA 50 are covering the movements as well while ADX shows a bearish sign suggesting further losses over intraday basis.

The price should stabilize below 92.15 to keep our scenario valid; whilst breaching 89.75 will confirm and accelerate the downside wave .

Today, we find the metal is stable below 1552.00 accompanied with Stochastic being negative, while EMA 20 and 50 pressure gold to the downside. All these factors suggest that the downside movement might extend today , but stability below 1582.00 is necessary.

  

  

• Bullion and Energy Market Commentary
  SPOT GOLD closed lower on Tuesday. The lowrange close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Wednesday’s night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bearish signalling sideways to lower prices are possible nearterm. If it renews the decline off February’s high, the 38% retracement level of the 20082011rally crossing is the next downside target. Closes above the 20day moving average crossing are needed to confirm that a shortterm low has been posted.

• Technical Analysis for Precious Metals
  Gold found strong resistance around 1582.00 which represents the first target of the Deep Crab harmonic pattern, but we can see how the metal is still stable above the descending resistance shown above in red. In addition we can see a positive crossover on Stochastic. Therefore, our positive expectations remain valid over intraday basis , based on the mentioned harmonic pattern and the suggested formation of the (C) wave. A breach of 1561.00 weakens our scenario, while a breach of 1552.00 negates our scenario over intraday basis.

• Commodity Report: Gold
  GOLD climbed higher in the Asian session to touch as high as $1584 before paring nearly all gains during the European and US hours to open this morning at $1573 in U.S. holidaythinned trade. The bullion has been tracking the euro closely, which earlier rose on the weekend result of opinion polls in Greece showing a slight lead for pro-bailout parties. The rise was soon hammered as news showed the Spanish government could soon need to recapitalize the state’s fourth largest lender Bankia by issuing government debt. The 10-yr Spanish bond was yielding a dangerous 6.45% overnight. A higher rupee and the end of the wedding season in India could see further weakness in the precious metal. We maintain our neutral position on the metal as its price is still carving out a triangle development. Aggressive traders could range trade gold to expect strong offers below $1600 and target levels around $1540.
