  • Gold is testing the bear's commitments at the resistance structure. 
  • Weekly support could be their target if bulls capitulate at this juncture.

If the bears jump on this from there, then a strong possibility will be for a downside extension of the last bearish impulse from which the price has been correcting to a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. 

However, from that juncture, the bulls will most probably step up to the plate to protect weekly support at $1,765:
