Gold Back Below 1300.0
Since today’s electronic open, the sellers have been in control of April gold. Subsequently, values have dropped more than $12.50 per ounce.
Since April GOLD futures failed to eclipse the 1350.0 handle in late February, it has been all downhill for bullion. The last month has been dominated by bearish sentiment, with prices falling more than $50 per ounce from the highs of February 20. Today’s sell-off has wiped out a nice weekly rally, driving prices back beneath 1300.0.
During the early going of 2019, it seemed as though institutional capital was happy to hold bullion in the midst of a stock rally. The U.S. government shutdown and concerns over trade war fallout brought considerable uncertainty to the table. Now, it looks like gold may be setting up for a prolonged bearish run.

For the near future, there are two levels to watch:
- Resistance(1): 38% Current Wave Retracement, 1307.2
- Support(1): Swing Low, 1280.8
Overview: This market’s inability to find bids above the 38% retracement level (1307.2) proved to be the kiss of death for short-term long holders. Going into the Friday session, gold is in position to close the week negative.
Barring any crisis-oriented fundamental, the technicals suggest that the four-week downtrend will continue. If April gold fails to rebound by Friday’s closing bell, a test of the Swing Low (1280.8) may be in the cards for early next week.
