Besides, the short- and mid-term trend is downward. We placed Fibonacci expansion to find a potential intraday target and got Fibonacci expansion 161.8% at the level of $1,076.00. Be careful when buying gold at this stage and watch for potential selling opportunities. The key support for gold is at the price of $1,046.00. The potential breakout of the level of $1,046.00 will confirm short-term continuation of downward trend.
