Summary

Gold is currently 7.8% below its 200-period moving average and is in an downward trend. Volatility is high as compared to the average volatility over the last 10 periods. Our volume indicators reflect very strong flows of volume into XAU= (bullish). Our trend forecasting oscillators are currently bearish on XAU= and have had this outlook for the last 53 periods. Our momentum oscillator has set a new 14-period high while the security price has not. This is a bullish divergence.
