In turn, the price of gold may may continue to give back the rebound from the monthly low ($3202) as there appears to be a shift in investor confidence, but the recent weakness in bullion may turn out to be temporary as it remains an alternative to fiat-currencies.

With that said, the price of gold may continue to track the positive slope in the 50-Day SMA ($3121) as it still holds above the moving average, but failure to hold above the indicator may signal a potential change in trend.
