RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS:
- Gold rebounded quickly and broke to higher prices after the COVID deep selling.
- Our Fibonacci support levels for Gold are resting near $1,885, $1,815 & $1,790.
- More downside pressure on price is possible, but if support is maintained at $1,885 then we could see a big upside recovery trend take Gold to $2,250.
