- Gold remains flatlined around $1,292 despite signs of bearish exhaustion
- Risk aversion in the equities is not helping the yellow metal either.
Currently, gold (XAU/USD) is flatlined around $1,292, having clocked a high of $1,296 earlier today.
The safe-haven metal continues to have a hard time building upside momentum despite multiple long-tailed daily candles and a bullish price-relative strength index (RSI) divergence in the 4-hour chart.
Further, the risk-off tone in the Asian equities, emerging market currency crisis and renewed trade tensions/North Korea issue has also failed to put a bid under the yellow metal.
That said, the probability of a corrective rally to $1,302 – double top neckline resistance (former support) remains high as long as prices remain above Monday’s long-tailed doji candle low of $1,282.
