Yesterday, during the US session, we saw some serious volatility in the market. Most of this came in response to the dovish remarks from the Steven Mnuchin (United States Secretary of the Treasury). Moreover, the upcoming monetary policy from the ECB is also one of the market movers.

GOLD / XAUUSD – Bearish Engulfing Pattern

In our previous update, we mentioned the bullish breakout which was supposed to drive Gold to $1,359. Nevertheless, the fundamentals fuel the haven demand especially when the US Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin weakened the Greenback by welcoming a weaker currency.
