FX.co ★ Gold analysis for May 09 , 2016

Since our previous analysis, gold has been moving downwards. The price tested the level of $1,273.57 in a high volume. According to the 1H time frame, I found a buying climax in the background (volume spike) and strong reaction from sellers, since they absorbed an upward movement. I have placed Fibonacci expansion to find potential downward stations. I got Fibonacci expansion 61.8% at the price of $1,274.00 (on the test), Fibonacci expansion 100% at the price of $1,260.50 and Fibonacci expansion 161.8% at the price of $1,240.00. According to the 1M time frame, I found downward pressure and no demand bars, which is a sign that buying Gold at this stage looks risky.
