The yellow metal rose to new seven-year high ($1619) after breaking previous top at $1611 (posted on 8 Jan). Gold price is currently riding on extended wave C of five-wave sequence from $1547 and pressures its FE200% at $1621, violation of which would expose Fibonacci expansion level at $1632 (238.2%). Caution of bulls losing traction on fresh dollar's advance, overbought daily stochastic / RSI, while bullish momentum is fading. Corrective dips below $1600 handle are expected to offer better buying opportunities while contained above $1590 zone (near Fibo 38.2% of $1547/$1619 upleg). Rising 10DMA ($1584, also near 50% retracement) marks pivotal support, break of which would put bulls on hold.
