December 05, 2023 (MLN): International spot gold soared to a new record high of $2,135, but encountered strong resistance from sellers who pushed it back within the previous range.

The price movement toward the highs suggested a swing failure pattern (SFP), with yesterday's daily closing also below the prior highs.

This cast doubts on the strength of the breakout, as a breakout of this significance (four attempts spanned over a period of ~3.5 years) should normally trigger a substantial rally.

Instead, it faced substantial selling pressure, pushing it down as much as 5% from the highs in yesterday's intraday session.

The level of ~$1,974 is the critical support for the gold bulls, and losing it could trigger more downside pressure. There is not much support between this level and the low $1,800s.

To resume the upward momentum, the price should stay above $1,974, and buyers need to step in quickly.

It is pertinent to note that on higher timeframes, gold remains in an upward trend unless the ~$1,974 levels gives in.
