Precious Metals Commentary

February gold closed sharply lower on Tuesday and below November's low crossing at 1674.70 thereby renewing the decline off October's high. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Wednesday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are diverging but are bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If February extends the decline off November's high, the 62% retracement level of the May-October rally crossing at 1638.00 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 1714.50 would confirm that a short-term low has been posted. First resistance is the 20-day moving average crossing at 1714.50. Second resistance is November's high crossing at 1757.10. First support is today's low crossing at 1662.00. Second support is the 62% retracement level of the May-October rally crossing at 1638.00.
