Gold Futures: Upside bias loses momentum

Gold faces strong resistance at $1,600/oz
The ounce troy of the precious metal is extending the move up on the back of rising uncertainty and concerns regarding the Wuhan coronavirus.

That said, Gold should face a tough barrier in the $1,600 area per ounce in the near-term.
