Gold Likely to Enter Downward Correction

By Anton Eljwizat

Gold prices rose significantly in the last week and peaked at $1396.76 an ounce. Gold has made a significant upward correction, which can be directly correlated with the bullish trend of the EUR/USD cross. However, the daily chart is suggesting that a recent upward trend is losing steam and a bearish correction is impending. This recent activity has raised the stakes for traders. From here on, the forex and commodity markets will see very high volatility indeed.
