On the intraday chart of our precious metal, Gold looks to be in an impulsive wave to the upside from the lows, now already in blue wave V, which makes us think that the price can now make a corrective retracement. We see resistance for the final wave V around 1275 from where a sharp fall may follow, if we consider an ending diagonal pattern in the final wave.
