Early in the American session, gold is trading around 3,314 with a strong technical rebound originating after reaching the 50% Fibonacci retracement. Gold rose sharply after testing the 200 EMA support located at 3,256.

Gold could continue rising in the coming hours but should break the top of the downtrend channel around 3,317. If this scenario occurs, it could continue to reach the top of the main downtrend channel around 3,335.

Should gold fail to break above and break below 3,317, this could be seen as an opportunity to sell, as a technical correction could be expected. Gold could reach 6/8 Murray at 3,281, and could even cover the gap it left on May 16, around 3,198.

Technically, gold is seen as overbought, however, a technical correction is likely in the coming hours, and this could be seen as an opportunity to sell below 3,335.
