Gold is off recent lows. This week's focus has been on Tuesday's sell-off that reinforces a bearish outlook. In pattern terms, price action on Oct 6 is a bearish engulfing candle and signals the end of the recent corrective bounce since Sep 28 . If correct, it highlights risk for a move lower to retest major support at $1848.9. A break would confirm a resumption of the downtrend. A move above $1921.2, Oct 6 high however would resume bullish pressure.
