Where Did You Gold? - Gold Down, Dollar Up

The U.S. yields had a strong momentum while the dollar experienced an upward surge that pushed gold prices down.

Sliding towards the 10-day line support of a $1902 moving average, resistance for the precious metal is seen near January highs at $1959. A medium-term uptrend is also in place as the 10-day moving average crossed above the 50-day moving average. 

A crossover sell signal generated by a fast stochastic resulted in a negative short-term momentum. The current fast stochastic reading is 73, down from 88, which reflects a decelerating positive momentum.  

A positive medium-term momentum is expected as the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) points to higher prices as its histogram prints in the black with a positive trajectory.
