GOLD update December 21

Remember - This is Holidays week, low volume, high spreads, crazy volatility, and manipulation.

First and as always we need to take a look at our clean naked chart... what does it tell us? what can you read from the PA?

As I see it, we are right now at a key level in price. The previous 4hr candle had a nice wick to the downside and got rejected.
But can we expect deeper continuation?
During the London session, we had a nice retrace to test the 1800 psychological level and then a great engulfing bearish candle when the NY session started.
If we see the 1 hr chart... how would I have played the movement (I didn't because I wasn't on the charts)

I expect now range until Asian open, a retrace to the upside during Asian and then continuation drop in London.
Tomorrow is Wednesday and the charts will behave like last week, then the price will be pushed to the downside and before NY opens we will see support created, and then maybe we can have that push that will go above 1800 and continue all week to test previous highs.

But this isn't certain until the PA confirms what we are expecting. We can even have a deeper push during NY and see support until Thursday and well, we all know that Friday there won't be enough volume to "defend" against any manipulative push. So be really careful you want to be on the charts and do any play.
