Gold Technical Analysis: Overnight bullish breakthrough 200-DMA pauses near trend-channel resistance

   “¢   The precious metal’s recent upsurge over the past 3-1/2 week has been along a short-term ascending trend-channel, with bulls taking a brief pause near the channel resistance.

   “¢   Given that technical indicators have been gaining positive traction and are still far from being oversold, the commodity seems all set to extend the ongoing bullish momentum.  

   “¢   Moreover, the overnight sustained break through the very important 200-day SMA, for the first time since May, further reinforce prospects for near-term appreciating move.

   “¢   Hence, any meaningful dips, towards 200-DMA resistance turned support, currently near the $1242, would be seen as a buying opportunity and should limit any immediate slide.
