Gold renews bullish attack reaching $2518 as $2490-$2495 attracted strong buying ahead of upcoming Initial Jobless Claims as well as Services and Manufacturing PMI during US session.
If bulls manage to break above $2518 hurdle, the upmove may quickly retest next resistance $2528 above which break above $2532 becomes easy, leading to a tad higher $2538
On the lower side, any dip correction towards value zone $2500-$2495 will attract buyers again.
Below this zone, some further retracement towards fair value gap at $2487-$2484 may not be ruled out.
Given the prevailing circumstances and price action, buyers are likely to keep using any retracement and pullbacks for adding fresh longs.
