Forex Analysis & Reviews: Gold reaches 2nd target after bearish signal

Gold price has reached the $1,800 area which was our second target after our bearish signal last Friday. As expected by our analysis, Gold started the week under pressure because of the bearish signal we got last Friday.

Gold price is now trading at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire rise from $1,758. Our first target was the 38% retracement around $1,830 and our next target was the 61.8% level. Short-term trend remains bearish after the bearish signal on Friday. At 61.8% retracement level we usually see trend reversals. That is why the decline has stopped around this Fibonacci level. Bears need to be cautious as we could see a higher low being formed and price to reverse to the upside. For now no such signal has been given. Price could during the day make a new lower low so bulls need to be very patient and cautious. Next support is at the 78.6% retracement level. Breaking below that level will increase dramatically the chances of falling below $1,758 over the coming days. For now this is not the most probable scenario.
