If we look into the long term charts of gold on log scale.
We have tested the top of the long term channel at 1900-1950.
Every time Gold has touched the higher end of the channel it has ended up correcting 15-20% also over the next few months.
If one has to enter I believe a technical entry point comes around 1600-1700 dollars.
For the traders i would suggest to be careful on short term longs. Below 1770 there could be much sharper correction in gold. One may even look for a short at 1880-1920 zone.
Lets have a look at the daily charts which shows 1770 is an important level.
Although there would be many arguments of Gold being a good hedge to inflation or a great long term story but at current levels one may pause a bit on Gold Buying and if you have not bought gold yet its better not to take exposure to it.
This is purely from a market perspective and from current levels I would at least expect the pace of gold rise will slow down and downside risks seems more higher.
