Gold Technical Analysis: Bearish continuation pattern spotted on 4-hourly chart

   “¢   The precious metal, over the past one month or so, has been oscillating between two converging trend-lines, forming a symmetrical triangle/pennant on the 4-hourly chart.

   “¢   The contracting wedge might be categorized as a continuation pattern, marking a consolidation phase before the resumption of the prior/well-established downtrend.  

   “¢   Technical indicators on daily/hourly charts are yet to pick up positive momentum and add credence to the bearish formation, suggesting selling bias at higher levels.

   “¢   However, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break below the pattern support, currently near the $1192 region, before positioning for a fresh leg of downfall.
