The market has slipped back now from 2024.80 to 1824.60 — a $200 per ounce drop. That doesn't mean you should expect it to bounce. It's a bearish set up.
Gold has arrived at the outskirts of the massive $1820-$1790 buy zone. In addition to gold bullion, silver bullion and mining stocks can be bought there as well.
Gold has been holding up relatively well in the face of rising bond yields and dollar strength, but that may not last if Chinese investors slow purchases of the metal.
