5 Min Chart

On the 5 min Chart, rally appears to have stalled around 1,730 – 1,738, with the recent swing high just 15 mins ago unable to touch the earlier swing high, hinting that bullish momentum may be very stretched right now.

Gold holdings has also reached record highs, hence the failure to breach 1,735 significant resistance will have added implications. However, we should still be alert for any Central Bank intervention that could propel Gold prices even higher amidst a risk off environment.
