- With no major economic indicator release for both Europe and U.S . ECB president Draghi speech is major event for the day.
- On the lower side, any break below $1318 (55- day EMA) will drag the gold down till 1316 (38.2% fibo)/$1309. Bearish continuation only if it breaks below $1305 level. The near term support is around $1330.
- The yellow metal broken major resistance at $1336 (20- day MA) and any close above confirms further bullishness and a jump till $1342 (50% Fibo)/$1348/$1355. Overall bullish continuation only above $1366.
