That is precisely what happened, with gold moving sharply higher in the afternoon to finish around 1713 and form a "hammer" candlestick on the chart, as well as the "double bottom". Gold also broke out of the steep down trend channel the price had been in since the 1697 high.
The previous support at 1718 has now become resistance, if gold can overcome this barrier then 1730 is the next level of resistance, followed by 1755.
