Gold Technical Analysis: rebounds sharply from a descending trend-channel support

   “¢   After hitting fresh YTD lows, the precious metal stages a solid rebound from a short-term descending trend-channel support and amid near-term oversold conditions.

   “¢   The up-move, however, hasn’t been supported by short-term technical indicators and could be solely attributed short-covering led by a modest USD retracement.

   “¢   Hence, the descending trend-channel resistance is likely to cap any subsequent up-move, which if conquered might increase prospects for additional near-term recovery.
