• Gold tested topside trendline resistance at the $1662.50 area and held resistance (see chart above)
  • On the downside there has been support buyers near the midpoint of the move down from March 27th high ($1654).
  • Overall activity is contained today and waiting for the next directional spurt (up or down)

Looking at the daily chart below,

  • The price has been reluctantly moving down over the last month of trading
  • The trend channel has a few tests above and below
  • The current top trendline comes in where the 100 day MA is found (at $1676 area). This increases the importance of this level should the price make a break above the hourly down trendline

For the time being, activity is contained and moving back in forth in between support and resistance.
