Gold tests resistance again at $1738.

Short
OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
The weekly chart for Gold continues to remain bearish until prices stay below $1747 resistance. The yellow metal has tested resistance again around $1738 today before reversing lower. With all the fundamental story and greater optimism over Gold prices to reach $3000, it instills further confidence on the above bearish structure, that indicates a probability for a sharp reversal lower until prices stay below $1747. Ideally, we need to see a break below $1661 to confirm a reversal but a break below $1690 would be the first step towards the same. We have been a bit aggressive for potential short from $1710/15 levels, with risk just above $1747 handle. A break above $1747 would be technically seen as a bull trap that is better avoided.

Strategy:

Short against $1747, targeting $1661, $1560 and $1450.
