Over the past couple of weeks, gold has been trying to turn itself around. It’s actually meeting with a bit of subtle success (see green tints), as a series of higher lows is being formed. Gold's more vital attempts to get higher, particularly overnight, keep getting smacked down (red arrows), as $1145 seems to be an important barrier.
Considering what's happening in today's market -- soaring USD and looming interest-rate hikes -- the metal is behaving decently and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it can find the buying power to hurdle over that 1145 line, which should make its recovery easier.
