Equal Weight Gold Index: Resuming Downtrend

After reaching our technical target, gold stocks rolled over with the equal weight gold index now breaking below the month long uptrend. The breakdown is mirrored in momentum indicators as RSI fails at 50 and MACD triggers a new sell signal in bearish territory. Furthermore, gold stocks remain in a relative downtrend versus the broader market and as such we remain cautious on the space. We expect ZGD to make another lower low suggesting there is still another 10% downside risk for the space.
