This my main long term perspective on gold's loooong descending channel since 2070.
In my view, this is just an over-extended bearsqueeze due to the strengthening Dollar Index which would ultimately reach 120 soon, and ultimately peak.
Market Makers are bullish overall and choosing to extend price action for as long as it needs to, and exhausting off as many sellers from the market as possible in the process to secure a decisive break out to the upside.
