Gold Lower Peak

Some weakness is evident in the weekly gold chart. A lower peak has charted. If a lower trough follows, the yellow metal will be in a defined downtrend on a weekly basis. The RSI has dipped below 50 (blue rectangle), which does suggest that there is an underlying bearish momentum. The longer it maintains under 50, the more pressure will be applied to the gold price.

Acting as a headwind is the stronger dollar, on the back of higher real yields. Moreover, capital is finding its way towards the greenback as the Chinese property sector comes under pressure. As such, as FXCM's USDOLLAR ends its downtrend, the precious metal is under pressure.
