Gold Technical Analysis: Bulls await a convincing break through $1200 psychological mark

   “¢   The precious metal has been trending higher alongside an ascending trend-line over the past one week or so, though the up-move now seemed to have paused.

   “¢   Technical indicators on hourly charts maintain positive bias but have struggled to pick up the pace on daily chart, failing to support the positive momentum.  

   “¢   Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a sustained move beyond the $1200 psychological mark before positioning for any further near-term recovery for the commodity.
