According to gold prices weekly chart, the RSI has broken below the overbought zone, which points to the strengthening downside momentum and highlights the risk for a deeper pullback while below 2033/35.
IG Client Sentiment Report shows traders still hold gold bullish with the long-short ratio stands at 3.63:1 (78.40% of traders are long). Long positions are 2.48% higher than yesterday and 11.62% higher than last week, while short positions are 4.76% lower than yesterday and 1.74% higher than last week.
As crowd sentiment is often viewed in a contrarian manner, the fact that traders are net-long suggests gold prices may continue to fall. Considering more traders are net-long than yesterday and last week, such downtrend is even more possible.
