Gold Technical Analysis: Bearish pressure remains unabated, refreshes yearly lows

   “¢   The commodity falls to fresh YTD lows and was being weighed down by a combination of negative factors – broad-based USD strength, Fed rate hike expectations, risk-on mood.

   “¢   The downfall has been alongside a downward sloping trend-channel formation on the daily chart and points to a continuation of the bearish trajectory.

   “¢   With short-term technical indicators gradually drifting towards near-term oversold conditions, bears are likely to pause near the trend-channel support, also coinciding with 200-week SMA.
