The gold price has reached important short-term resistance levels in the $1,100-$1,110 area. A pullback is justified, but for bulls to remain in control, the price should not fall below $1,080 and overlap the high of the wave 1.
There are two possibilities regarding the wave count for gold. My favorite scenario that the long-term low is in, implies a new impulsive move has started that will change the long-term trend to bullish again. However, in order for it to hold, we need first to see an impulsive rise in gold. Up to now, we have seen only a rise in 3 wave as shown on the 4-hour chart above. It is a good sign that the gold price has manged to break above the Ichimoku cloud, but bulls need to see a pullback of the wave 4 and then a new high for the wave 5 to complete the first impulsive wave of the new trend.
