Gold and Silver charts: in strong bear grips

Gold chart pattern


The daily bar chart pattern of Gold faced strong resistance from its falling 20 day EMA after a short pullback rally, and resumed its correction from the Apr '18 top of 1370.

'Support/Resistance zone 2' (between 1237 & 1248) provided only a few days' support before gold's price plunged down to touch an intra-day low of 1212 on Jul 19th. A brief technical bounce faced resistance from 1237 level and closed lower.

Daily technical indicators are looking bearish and oversold. RSI and Slow stochastic showed positive divergences by touching higher bottoms while gold's price dropped lower. The subsequent technical bounce was weak.
