While markets are relatively calm now as Trump’s
victory seems to be digested, Gold is extending sell-offs and slided downwards
to pin lowest level, not seen since May 2016. Furthermore we have two key
factors, that have influenced negatively to the precious metal – the sell-off in treasuries and the rising expectations of the
forthcoming Fed rate-hike action.
Technical indicators are showing oversold conditions. RSI is sliding around 30%
and stochastic is placed within extreme low values and is displaying weak
bearish momentum.
At the time of writing XAU/USD is trading at $1207 and has crossed the 50% Fibonacci
retracement level at $1210, acting as a strong support.
Meanwhile the 50-day moving average crossed with the 200-day moving average and
has passed below it. This could only increase the pressure on Gold as this
situation is interpreted differently by traders.
In the short-term expectations remain bearish with eventual further drop to
next support, located at $1172 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement level).
