Market Commentary
October gold closed lower on Tuesday and below last Friday’s low crossing at 1282.50 confirming that a short-term top has been posted. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Wednesday’s night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signaling that additional weakness is possible. If October renews the rally off June’s low, the reaction high crossing at 1395.20 is the next upside target. First resistance is July’s high crossing at 1348.00. Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 1395.20. First support is today’s low crossing at 1278.40. Second support is July’s low crossing at 1208.50.
