Gold Q1 2022 Technical Forecast: Gold ended a two-year uptrend in August 2020. A modest pullback from there gave way to sideways drift in March 2021. Prices are now idling near the mid-point of the choppy range that has been carved out since. It is unclear whether the standstill will mark a base for renewed gains or a pause before the down move from the 2020 top is re-engaged.
