Gold Technical Analysis: Bearish pressure remains unabated ahead of US retail sales

   “¢   The precious metal has been trending lower since the New-York trading session on Tuesday alongside a downward sloping trend-channel on the 30-min chart.

   “¢   The recent USD upsurge remained uninterrupted and was seen as one of the key factors exerting some heavy downward pressure on the dollar-denominated commodity.

   “¢   The commodity’s inability to attract any buying interest clearly suggests that the near-term bearish trajectory might still be far from being over.  

   “¢   However, highly oversold conditions on hourly/daily/weekly charts might turn out to be the only factor, which might help ease the prevailing bearish pressure.
