Gold price action looks exhaustive near-term

Short
OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Much has been said over the weekend regarding gold's move higher and we have taken a look at this this morning.

First point to make is that we have 2 major levels of resistance - the first is the old high at 2070 and the second is the top of a major up channel that extends back to 2011, this is located at 2106 and only a close above here would indicate potential for further gains presently. N.B. this would need to be a weekly close at the minimum or two daily closes.

Currently price action today is looking like a blow off top (A Blow-Off Top represents the climax of an uptrend, characterized by a rapid and excessive rise in prices, followed by a sudden and sharp reversal). It will be important to see where the market closes tonight, but given price action so far it is looking likely.

For now we suspect the market will come back into sturdied support seen in around 1980.
