Gold Technical Analysis: Struggles to make it through descending trend-channel hurdle near $1200 mark

   “¢   The precious metal is retreating from an important resistance marked by a short-term descending trend-channel formation on the 1-hourly chart.

   “¢   The commodity’s inability to sustain above 100-hour SMA and move back above the key $1200 psychological mark further reinforces the bearish formation.

   “¢   Having said that, a convincing break through the mentioned barrier would invalidate the negative outlook and set the stage for further near-term up-move.
