Gold dropped notably this week on the back of strong Dollar. Rising treasury yield, with 10-year yield breaching 3% handle for the first time since 2018, also weigh on the precious metals.
Gold’s fall from 1998.23 resumed after slightly stronger than expected recovery last week. Such fall is seen as the third leg of the decline from 2070.06, and should target 100% projection of 2070.06 to 1889.79 from 1998.23 at 1817.86 next. In any case, more downside is expected for the near term as long as 1919.63 resistance holds.
Also, such decline is seen as the third leg of the corrective pattern from 2074.84 (2020 high). Sustained trading below 55 week EMA (now at 1843.71) would pave the way back to 1682.60 support, where is should finish the pattern and bring long term up trend resumption.
