Gold Technical Analysis: Poised to challenge 200-day SMA, around $1254-55 region

   “¢   The precious metal built on the overnight bullish breakthrough a one-week-old descending trend-line resistance and jumped to one-week tops on Tuesday.  

   “¢   However, slightly overbought conditions on the 1-hourly chart kept a lid on any strong follow-through, rather prompted some profit-taking at higher levels.  

   “¢   Meanwhile, technical indicators on 4-hourly/daily charts maintain their bullish bias and support prospects for an extension of the near-term positive momentum.

   “¢   Moreover, the fact that the commodity remains well above important intraday moving averages – 50, 100 & 200-hour SMA, further reinforce the bullish outlook.

   “¢   Hence, a move  towards challenging the very important 200-day SMA, also coinciding with 61.8% Fibo. level of mid-May to mid-Aug. downfall, looks a distinct possibility.
