Red lines- bearish channel

Green lines- bullish RSI divergence

Gold made a new lower low earlier today at $1,614. Price is right on top of the lower boundary of the short-term bearish channel. The RSI has provided another bullish divergence. Key short-term resistance is found at $1,643 and a break above it will provide a bullish signal. A bounce towards the upper channel boundary is justified. If bulls recapture $1,643-45, then we should expect a move higher towards $1,660-70. Opening long positions at current levels can provide the best possible return, but it is very risky because trend remains bearish. Sellers prefer to wait for a bounce towards $1,660-70 to sell again.
