Gold price slumps, but selling opportunities have been sparse
The gold price has slumped below the rising trendline that has dominated since December. However, rallies have been short-lived intraday and have offered little opportunity for fresh selling, with the price sharply oversold over the past 18 hours. We would look for a move back towards $1240 and the 50-hour simple moving average for a more promising selling opportunity.
