Gold Technical Analysis: Bulls likely to remain cautious below $1300 mark

   “¢   The precious metal stalled its post-NFP sharp retracement slide from 6-1/2 month tops and managed to find decent buying interest near 200-hour SMA.

   “¢   A subsequent move beyond 100-hour SMA was seen as a key trigger for bullish traders, with the commodity now trying to form a base above 50-hour SMA.

   “¢   Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have flattened out but are still holding in the positive territory and also maintained their bullish bias on 4-hourly/daily charts.  

   “¢   The set-up support prospects for the resumption of the prior appreciating move, though last week’s bearish breakthrough an ascending channel warrants caution.

   “¢   Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a strong follow-through buying, possible a sustained move beyond the $1300 handle, before positioning for any further up-move.
