So far this drop looks like a correctional phase, and as long as it stays above 85.450 it can go for a new high.
It is quite possible to have another rally reaching 108.500 , but I am not recommending any adding to existing positions or establishing a new one – use that rally if it happens to close your longs boys and girls….
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Darkening skies over Europe’s economy, trade and politics sent the euro plummeting to its lowest in two years – just 3% from dollar parity – as post-election U.S. crypto optimism sees Bitcoin flirt with $100,000 for the first time.
If I had to pick a target for the XAUUSD retreat it would have been 2600, which has been tested as the retreat from the record high continues. Low so far 2595.
So 2600 now becomes the pivotal level that needs to become support or next risk is for another $50-55 on the downside.
The straight line move down has left resistance far away so using other time frames, 2626/43/75 are some levels to watch.
