Gold made an initial break below its 21 day Simple Moving Average at $2,015, a possible indication of a forthcoming negative trend. In contrast, CME Gold could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now $10.33 away from $2,005.27. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
Looking forward, Gold is poised to extend its strong downtrend and continue declining.
