Technical overview
As we can see in the Daily chart, Gold is starting its downtrend under the critical level of 1,774. OBV trend line is going to be broken. Under the middle line of BB, 1,759 is the third support and next target. However, RSI at 53 can not still confirm enough strength of this trend. On the flip side, recovering above 1,778 pivot point can stop the correction and keep the current general uptrend towards 1,800.
