Gold continues recent downtrend
Gold managed to fall further, thanks to the risk-on mode set by yesterday’s European Central Bank (ECB) meeting. We have now seen the price break below the 76.4% retracement, with the price subsequently contending with an ascending trendline dating back to July 2016.
A break below that trendline would then look towards $1260 as the next major level in question. For now, there is a chance we could see a short-term rebound. However, unless we break through $1282, another leg lower remains the likeliest eventuality.
