Spot gold may rise into a range of $1,853-$1,875 per ounce, as it has cleared a resistance at $1,840.

The substantial rise from the February 4 low of $1,784.76 strongly suggests completing a wave C around key support at $1,783, its 61.8% projection level.

Either the downtrend from the Jan. 6 high of $1,959.01 has further reversed, or the uptrend from the Nov. 30, 2020 low of $1,764.29 has extended.

A break below $1,827.93, however, will indicate a resumption of the downtrend towards $1,783. On the daily chart, gold could be consolidating within a big flat that developed from $1,764.29.

This pattern consists of three waves that are roughly equal in length. The current wave c could travel into a range of $1,934-$1,979.
