May's growth of gold goes as a clear continuation of the corrective movement after the downward momentum of November-December 2016. But the main trend remains bearish. His fundamental break point at 1337.10 is far from being achieved. The price pushed down from the trend line at 1295.2. And before that, the bottom was updated to 1122.5. Therefore, the global trend remains falling. The correction potential is still up to the resistance range of 1276-1295. But both fundamental and technical factors suggest that the opportunities for the decline are higher than for growth. Therefore, it is worth considering not buying from declines, but selling from growth to the specified range. The target level of movement to the south is still the area of the previous low about 1200-1213.
