On the daily chart of gold, there is a desperate struggle for an important level $1,286. There is an intermediate 127.2% target in the AB = CD pattern. The bulls' win will lead to the continuation of the rally. In contrast, their defeat can lead to the development of the correction towards $1,260.

Recommendations: hold longs (BUY $1278 SL $1263 TP1 $1312 TP2 $1340),
BUY 1260 SL 1245 TP 1300.
