Gold daily chart, January 17, 2016

Gold markets tried to rally on Monday, but found a bit of resistance just above current levels. By doing so, it looks as if the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level is on the minds of traders, and we could see a return to the downtrend. A breakdown below the $1200 level should send this market lower and following the longer-term trend. Alternately, if we can break above the $1215 level it looks as if we will try to go to the $1230 level. Ultimately, I expect volatility to say the least. A strengthening US dollar could add to bearish pressure.
