As you know I was looking for a retracement here. The depth and shape of it will inform us on what sort of chart formation, if any, we have in play.
I have included the chart of the three scenarios and a 'worst case' below. We are now in the 'shallow retracement' area, probably from here down to 1170ish. The other levels are down to about 1150, and deeper down to 1130. If gold breaks down below 1120 and sticks a solid close for a couple days at least then this formation is off the table.
