Gold prices are trending down today, falling below the critical $2,700 level and currently hovering around $2,659.
The main driver behind gold's decline is the surging USD, coupled with investor expectations that tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine may ease. Additionally, previous profit-taking and short-selling activity have further "sunk" this asset.
If this trend continues, gold may test lower support levels around $2,603, after revisiting the 0.786 Fibonacci level and declining in line with the Elliott Wave 5. Investors are advised to seize short-selling opportunities while closely monitoring market movements in the coming period!
