Can you tell that Gold is in a downtrend?


Gold is definitely facing stiff resistance at $1685 and has been capped by this significant resistance zone $1685-$1700.The chart below clearly illustrates the fact that the yellow metal is in an obvious downtrend and I can only see it intensifying over the coming weeks. Price action early this week is in the consolidation mode and thus we are able to spot an inside bar fake-out from a significant level. Notice the high of the fake-out bar has been rejected from the downtrend line. That's simply a clear indication of yet another profitable bearish impulsive wave. Traders can enter at the current levels and look to protect their profits upon reaching the next support 1652.19.

xzau.usd todays play

opened 1667-1669

current 1656.72
retrace potential to 1665 and as high as 1671
but trend is still bearish and remembering bottom of last drop was 1653-jan 28,2013
keeping in mind that ascending tl support from may 13, 2012 was breached at 1659....let's see if daily will close below this and therefore keeping bearish trend.
resistance is from previous support points are approximately 1661, 1663 and 1665

gl and green pips to all

with this market of slow moving and ranging a $5-$10 profit is good enough for daily scalping.

yes 1660area is important. seems like a retrace going on atm. i am not scalping - more higher timeframe trades turned out to work better for me. my stop is around 1667, but to be honest i don't think we go up there next few days. looks really short.
