The key issue for gold right now is whether it will follow silver back below the integrity of its prior bottoming formation from which it broke higher.
Observing the daily chart for gold futures, below, you can see the slanted inverse head and shoulders neckline now coming into play.
Put another way, the critical issue is whether gold or silver is the true leader here, with silver leading down and gold leading up.
The miners have yet to reveal much of a tell, sluggish in their own right.
Simply put, I am flat on the complex at this point, with little to do but observe whether gold bugs can pull off a major higher low before another run higher. The 1280 area should be just about all she wrote to the downside if the gold bull is legitimate.
