Gold Wave Analysis: A Bearish Scenario?

Our preferred Elliott wave scenario for Gold for the last couple of weeks was that a long-term wave 4 triangle was unfolding and we recently completed wave E at $1,346 and a new downward move has started that would bring price towards $1,000. Recent price action has put this wave scenario into question because the recent rise from the low at $1,287.50 to $1,312 was impulsive while the decline from $1,346 is currently a three wave pattern.

From the Elliott wave theory perspective, Gold price needs to break below $1,287 and not above $1,312 in order for our bearish scenario to continue to be my favorite. Breaking below $1,287.50 will bring in more selling pressures and will put the long-term support at $1,240-$1,260 to the test. In order to confirm wave E top was at $1,346, we need to see impulsive waves down from that area that will eventually push price below $1,240.

Short-term resistance is found at $1,312. If this resistance is broken, there is increased chance of moving above $1,326 and towards $1,350-60. If however support at $1,287.50 is broken, then I expect a sell off towards $1,250-40. Breaking below $1,240 will confirm my bearish scenario that wave E top is at $1,346. This triangle wave 4 scenario is canceled if price moves above $1,391.
