Gold Technical Analysis: Break below $1200 to confirm a short-term bearish set-up

   “¢   The precious metal has been finding support near the key $1200 psychological mark but the up-move remains capped at a short-term descending trend-line resistance.  

   “¢   The range-bound price action constitutes towards formation on a descending triangle on the 30-min. chart, suggesting an extension of this week’s retracement from over two-week tops.

   “¢   However, technical indicators on hourly and daily charts hold in neutral territory and have failed to support any firm directional bias.

   “¢   Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break in either direction before traders start positioning for any short-term momentum.
