Gold traded lower yesterday. A bearish theme remains intact and yesterday's gains reinforce this outlook. In pattern terms, yesterday's price action is a bearish engulfing reversal and signals the end of the recent corrective bounce. If correct, this highlights risk for a move lower to retest the major support at $1848.9. A break would confirm a resumption of the downtrend. A move above $1921.6, Oct 6 high would instead resume bullish pressure.
