NFXStreet reports that strategists at Commerzbank suggest that gold (XAU/USD) completed rejection from mid-September high at $1973.80 and a breach of the $1850 would turn to a more negative bias for the yellow metal.

“Gold has rallied towards and failed just ahead of the 1973.80 mid-September high, and again sold off to the 1850 low, where it is holding.”

“Should a breach of the 1850 support be seen we would allow for further losses to the 200-day ma at 1784.43 and possibly the May high at 1765.61. This in turn protects the 1714.27 55-week ma.”

“In order to regenerate upside interest, the market will need to regain the mid-September high at 1973.8, for a rally to the 78.6% retracement at 2025 which guards the target band of 2070/2088.”
