Gold Technical Analysis: Bears await a sustained break below 1-month old trend-line support
|• The precious metal remained under some heavy selling pressure for the third consecutive session on Friday and dropped to challenge one-month-old trend-line support.
• Sustained weakness below 200-period SMA on the 4-hourly chart - for the first time since Nov. 30, was seen as a key trigger for bearish traders and prompted some technical selling.
• Moreover, oscillators on the daily chart have just started gaining negative momentum and support prospects for an extension of the ongoing slide from 10-month tops set on Feb. 20.
• Meanwhile, indicators on hourly charts have started drifting into the oversold territory and turned out to be the only factor that helped limit deeper losses, at least for the time being.
• Traders, however, are likely to wait for a convincing break through the mentioned support before positioning for any further slide towards testing the key $1300 psychological mark.
