Gold has faded near the resistance at 1316 (see also the declining channel). Hourly supports stand at 1289 and 1278. An hourly resistance now lies at 1309 (14/05/2014 high).

Longer term, we are sceptical that the horizontal range between the strong support at 1181 (28/06/2013 low) and the major resistance at 1434 (30/08/2013 high) is a long-term bullish reversal pattern. As a result, a decline towards the low of this range is eventually favoured.
