“The stronger-than-expected move in big gains in equities eroded gold slightly this morning,” said Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures.

According to Christopher Lewis, $1,835 is an important resistance
Market analyst Christopher Lewis says that gold markets fell a bit during Tuesday’s trading session as it saw the top of the range being tested, at this point, it’s not quite ready to go higher, so some pullback seems logical. If the gold price drops below the 50-day EMA, it will likely move towards the $1,750 level, and at this point, some pullback is likely as the market looks like it has gone overboard.
On the other hand, if it turns to a break above the upper level of the range in the past few days, it could open the possibility of a move towards the $1,835 level.
This is an area that will obviously be important, as there is significant resistance. Ultimately, if it breaks there, then it will change the general attitude of gold and send it much higher.
However, the analyst finds this highly unlikely and therefore believes that this market will experience plenty of hesitation between both situations. Christopher Lewis continues his analysis as follows:
In fact, the candlestick in the Tuesday session is a kind of “pawn warning shot” for buyers. It takes little imagination to see this as an area of Miss consolidation between $1,813 and $1,780. Not much has changed as long as we’ve been in this area, but if we go outside of that range, it tells us which way to go.
