A month long trend
Downtrend on gold has been clearly visible exactly one month. It has started on 18th of April and the first serious break of the trend was on the 17th of May. Decline of yellow metal has been caused by fundamentals such as monetary politics and pressure from Fed on the markets via rising interest rates. In addition, rising treasury yields have negative impact on gold as well.

And higher high and low could be one of the basic patterns for trend disruption.
