Gold: The bulls just cannot get a handle on the sell-off right now [Video]

The decline of gold and its intraday volatility are astounding right now (although this can be said of a lot of markets). Yesterday’s daily range of $122 was the fourth largest high/low range ever on gold and was more than double the Average True Range of $54. The trouble is that the bulls just cannot get a handle on the sell-off right now. A run of enormous bear candles has continued even into today’s session. Momentum has now taken a decisive turn for the worse, with RSI hitting 30.

Gold getting heavier

Some folks have attributed gold’s recent decline, in the face of collapsing equity prices and interest rates, to a stronger US dollar.

Gold edged lower through the early European session on Tuesday and is currently placed near the lower end of its daily trading range, around the $1484 region.

A combination of factors failed to assist the precious metal to capitalize on the previous day's goodish intraday recovery move from over one-month lows to levels beyond the key $1500 psychological mark.

Gold weighed down by a combination of factors

Having recorded their worst drop in more than three decades on Monday, a strong rebound in the US equity futures dented the commodity's safe-haven status and exerted some fresh downward pressure.

This coupled with a goodish pickup in the US dollar demand further undermined demand for the dollar-denominated commodity and contributed to the weaker tone for the seventh consecutive session on Tuesday. Read more...
