XAU.USD hit target and dropping: Gold Retrace Watch

1 501
Gold had a "Blow off Top" just above serious resistance.
Then came the requisite fast drop to trap bulls up above.
Now approaching some support zones for possible bounce.

The velocity of this drop indicates another leg down is likely.
But it is possible that correction is DONE (abc instead of 123).
So a long scalp from here towards the 1500 is worth considering.

The EW waves plotted are GUESSES, but the Zones are SOLID.
Expect a reaction at each zone, and observe closely for clues.
And of course, be wary of Trump tweets or other news chaos.

Of course, I have had total FAILS on some ideas too, not going to pretend.
But all of my plots show PRECISE entries, TIGHT stops, and EXACT targets.
Precision is the way of the Fib. Almost every turn happens at a Fib Line.
Note
Bounce did not make it to the plotted targets but I was afraid of that when the line at 1494.150 started acting as strong resistance snapshot

Zooming in and extending the fib lines from Red fib of last drop, we see the 5.618 was the key snapshot Where as I had thought the 5.236 would do it. At this point I am assuming that a wave is complete and we may start a bounce, or at least consolidate between the 4.236 and 5.236 for a while

Zooming in some more and looking at the bounce snapshot Looks like the 2.236 at $1487.767 will be the key price to watch for a possible significant bounce. The bounce from 2.618 ran out of energy before tapping the 4.236, so weakness still exists.

.
Note
slammed into the 2.236 and even pierced it wee bit snapshot but it was definitely noticed.
Thus all these fib lines are still valid, so if it drops below the 2.236, I will look at the 1.618 for strong bounce.

.
Note
wow, our little bounce is hinting of the 2.236 having been bottom snapshot

.
Note
Nice Rhythm. Bulls held the 2.236 as mentioned, and now they are trying to establish the 3.236 as new support snapshot The key is to break the 4.236 above, failed several attempts.

.
Note
Bulls unable to hold the 3.236, and the price action proves the theory that "each time a support is hit, it gets weaker" snapshot Now to watch the behavior at Band 2 below.

.
Note
I have posted a separate Idea to observe behavior around a very important fib series which indicates likely end of wave
"Pulse" of an asset times Fibonacci: Gold has Golden Rhythm Duh!
