Gold and USD get week and strengthened together in the same direction these days, that's why the consolidation occurs.
beside technical analytics, when Bitcoin goes down, Gold gets a chance to blast and absorbs the assets.
Cryptos and altcoins have become an alternation as an investment for Gold.
Personally, when Cryptos go down, I never sell and I wait for the next bull run. in that period of time I focus on Forex.
