April gold was through the midpoint resistance shown, strongly favoring more upside over the very near term to its ‘D’ sibling at 1737.10, at least. Notice that a precise hit would fall two ticks shy of exceeding the peak recorded on Thursday just before the futures began to fall. That peak will need to be exceeded to refresh the bullish energy of the lesser charts, but it seems unlikely the futures would come that far only to fail at the task. The bigger picture remains bullish because the last surge exceeded a challenging external peak at 1763.00 from December 8.
