With one session left in the month, the US Dollar (USD) bounced off the lower trading range of this over a year-long consolidation with an outside reversal monthly candlestick, which suggests that the correction is complete and more strength ahead in coming months.

Summary

A correction is in progress in the gold sector, while the cycle has just turned down recently. Expect lower prices overall until the cycle bottoms and COT data becomes favorable.
