Early in the American session, gold is trading around 2,761, around the 21 SMA, and below Murray 7/8. During the European session, gold made a technical bounce from the low of 2,748 reaching the 2,772 area. Since then, we are watching a technical correction.

The bearish cycle is likely to resume in the next few hours and gold could reach the bottom of the uptrend channel around 2,745.

In case gold consolidates below 2,765, the outlook could be negative and we could expect the price to reach 2,740 and 2,736. Eventually, any technical bounce will be seen as an opportunity to buy around 2,740.

On the contrary, in case of a sharp break of the uptrend channel after a consolidation below 2,740, gold could accelerate its fall towards 6/8 Murray located at 2,734. The instrument could eventually reach the 200 EMA around 2,685.

The Eagle indicator is giving overbought signals. However, as long as gold trades within the uptrend channel, any technical bounce will be seen as an opportunity to buy.
