Additionally, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) Oscillator registers values below the fifty line which indicates negative sentiment. All three technical indicators are in agreement with regards to the downward bias of the financial instrument.

Gold is currently trading below the downtrend line. Its current price is 2.9% below the last week's close after a sharp decline in price during a period of heavy selling. The presence of the Long Black Body hints at a potential rally to the downside. Of course, supply and demand as well as the crowd sentiment will determine the course of Gold. Though the market is currently following the counter trend direction, this might just be a correction, as long-term trend remains bearish.
