Gold Technical Analysis: bears remain in control, fresh YTD lows and counting

   “¢   Reviving USD demand prompts some aggressive selling and drags the commodity below last Thursday’s swing low level of $1261.38,  to fresh YTD lows.

   “¢   Formation of a death-cross on the daily chart and a decisive break below a medium-term ascending trend-line suggests a continuation of the bearish trajectory.

   “¢   Near-term oversold conditions do little to lend any support, albeit might turn out to be the only factor that could help limit sharp downside.
