Gold prices may recieve support from the Asian physical demand, but ultimately we would expect the rising costs of production to provide a floor under which gold prices will stop falling. As these rising costs of production catches up with the price of gold, so prices will form a base and eventually begin moving higher once more.
In the Asia's trading session, gold is trading at $1,282. Before I have started writing this report, gold dropped to $1,277 and then pulled back. Due to oversold levels in the H1 and H4 chart, gold pulled back from the lower levels. As I recommended earlier, gold will gain some buying support between $1,279-$1,260 levels. In the H1 chart, the price is making some base around the level of $1,282. I prefer to go long with sl at $1,277 for targets at $1,287, $1,291, and $1,293 levels. On the upside, $1,294 is the strong resistance level for intraday perspective, above this the price will push towards $1,298 and $1,304 levels. On the down side, if the price breaks the $1,277 levels, go short for targets at $1,270, $1,265, and $1,261 levels.
