Gold Remains Under Pressure

Gold tumbled yesterday as the new month saw renewed selling in gold, possibly from shorts rolling over from the December contract into the February contract.

Crucially, the price broke below last week's low at $1225, making a low of $1217 before rebounding slightly. This morning, gold remains under pressure and is trading near yesterday's lows. Following the break of $1225, we expect a test of $1200-$1207 in the short term, with a test of $1180 a dec possibility.

The price is back inside the down trend channel and is falling despite near term dollar weakness - this is an ominous sign as any sustained dollar strength here will see gold plunging towards $1180. Equities remain strong and oil weak, it doesn't look good for gold.

Support can be found at $1220, $1217, $1200-$1207 and $1180. A break of $1180 would have serious bearish implications for gold and suggest a decline to $1000-$1050 in the short term.

Resistance can be found at $1225-$1227, $1230, $1235, $1250, $1260, $1270, $1277-$1280 and $1291-$1295. A break above $1295 would suggest an end to the down trend, though it would take a break of $1360 to confirm this was the case.
