ECB minutes showed that it was premature to signal policy normalization due to weak inflation. The policy divergence between Fed and ECB shows that dollar is expected to strength further.
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 resistance is around $1336 (20- day MA) and any close above will take the commodity till $1342 (50% Fibo)/$1348/$1355. Overall bullish continuation only above $1366.
It is good to sell on rallies around $1327-29 with SL around $1336 for the TP of $1318/$1309.
