Pause likely short-lived

Gold recently gave breakout above multi-year rectangle denoting resumption in uptrend. It has staged an initial pullback after facing interim hurdle at $2,230 last week. Signals of large downside are not yet visible. Upper part of the pattern at $2,075/$2,065 should be a crucial support zone. 

Weekly MACD is anchored within positive territory highlighting prevalence of upward momentum. The uptrend is likely to persist. Next potential objectives are located at $2,250 and projections of $2,360. Target for the rectangle is located near $2,460.
