Gold Technical Analysis: Break below an ascending trend-line opens room for a deeper pull-back

   “¢   The precious metal struggled to build on its momentum further beyond 200-hour SMA and stalled its recovery move near 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the $1217-$1160 downfall.

   “¢   A modest USD rebound seems to be the only factor prompting some selling at higher levels, amid overbought conditions on the hourly chart.  

   “¢   Weakness below an ascending trend-line support on the 1-hourly chart now seems to indicate that the recent corrective rally might be running out of steam.

   “¢   A follow-through weakness below 50% Fibonacci retracement level support would further add credence to the expectations and open room for a deeper pull-back.
