Gold Technical Analysis: Descending trend-channel points to an extension of the weakening trend

   “¢   The precious metal kept losing ground through the mid-European session on Tuesday and touched a 1-1/2 week low level, around $1192 in the latest hour.

   “¢   The fact that the commodity has been trending lower alongside a downward sloping trend channel on the 1-hourly chart support prospects for further downside.  

   “¢   The commodity’s overnight rejection from 100-hour SMA and bearish daily technical indicators add credence to the negative outlook.

   “¢   However, technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have now moved on the verge of falling into oversold territory and thus, warrant some consolidation.
