However, as the price is still trading below the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA50), the resulting negative pressure limits the possibility of a strong rebound in the short term, and the market is currently still dominated by a bearish corrective wave. Accompanying this cautious rise, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has shown a negative signal after escaping oversold territory, indicating that the bearish trend may return. This means that any current rise may only be a temporary correction, after which gold may face selling pressure again.
