Gold Is Losing Its Shine

Since the beginning of November the Gold prices are down with 8%. The intraday  high marked on the US Presidential elections day at 1337 faded away and currently the precious metal is trading at 1172. The impressive downward slide continued today and provoked bears to test 1160 level.  
The latest strengthening of the greenback supported the decline in gold prices together with the tightening of capital flows out of China.
Technical indicator are showing strong oversold conditions. RSI is placed now at 21 level and is turning to south. Stochastic is currently displaying extreme values and is showing lack of momentum.
Meanwhile the price is staying well below the 20-day, 100-day and 200-day exponential moving averages.
XAU/USD has crossed the key and psychological level at 1170 (61.80% Fibonacci retracement) and in case of maintaining the downward direction next target is seen at 1140 (March 2015’a low) and 1120.
Given above technicals the gold prices are poised to extend slide.
