December gold was higher overnight. Stochastics and the RSI remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 1223.70 would confirm that a short-term low has been posted while opening the door for additional gains near-term. If December resumes the decline off October's high, October's low crossing at 1186.00 is the next downside target. First resistance is October's high crossing at 1246.00. Second resistance is the 38% retracement level of the April-August-Decline crossing at 1251.30. First support is last-Tuesday's low crossing at 1196.60. Second support is October's low crossing at 1186.00.

Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term.

If December resumes this month's decline, monthly support crossing at 13.620 is the next downside target. First resistance is October's high crossing at 14.950. Second resistance is the August 28^th reaction high crossing at 15.070. First support is last-Wednesday's low crossing at 13.860. Second support is monthly support crossing at 13.620.
