Gold Technical Analysis: bounces off descending trend-channel support
|• Near-term oversold conditions prompt some short-covering move amid a modest USD retracement and from a short-term descending trend-channel support on the 1-hourly chart.
• Technical indicators on the said chart hold in negative territory and hence, a move towards 50-hour SMA immediate hurdle might still be looked upon as a selling opportunity.
• Any subsequent up-move is likely to remain capped at an important confluence region, comprising of the trend-channel resistance and 100-hour SMA.
