The main target of XAU/USD with a bearish break below the 21 ema is the -61.8% Fibonacci. There is also a support zone and previous top (green box) which can stop price action from falling. 

A break below the support zone, however, would invalidate the uptrend (red circle). In that case, a reversal is taking place that could take the price much deeper.

On the daily chart, price action seems to be developing an ABC (pink) pattern. A bearish swing via 5 waves (orange) could complete wave C (pink) and potential wave 4 (black). 

As long as price respects the -27.2% and -61.8% Fibonacci targets, then an uptrend still remains likely. Only a break below $1700 changes the perspectives and makes a reversal more likely (red circle).
