Technical outlook:

Gold has retraced lower towards fibonacci 0.618 support levels of the entire rally between $1,213 and $1,296 levels respectively. Furthermore, it is also a point of convergence of fibonacci 0.382 extensions of wave A, as depicted in Red around $1244.00 levels. Besides, please note that Wave A became equal to Wave C at $1,242/43 levels, which is an indication of wave C termination point. Speaking about the above convergences and also the wave counts, it looks like the yellow metal has completed wave 1 and 2 after printing lows at $1,241/42 levels yesterday. If this structure holds to be true, the next leg should be a rally from current levels toward at least $1,350.00. On the flip side, a drop below $1,241.00 might test $1,235.00 levels before turning higher again.

Trading plan:

Please remain long now, stop around $1,230.00 target $1,350.

The US Dollar Index is seen to be trading at 97.50 levels for now after breaking above the resistance line as seen here. Please note that the index might be unfolding into wave 4 corrective of a higher degree. It is expected to unfold into 3 waves A-B-C as depicted here.
