Gold Technical Analysis: Bounce from YTD lows/50% Fibo. support might turn out to be short-lived

   “¢   The precious metal stalled its recent decline and managed to stage a modest recovery from support marked by 50% Fibo. level of the $1196.40-$1346.85 strong up-move.  

   “¢   Slightly oversold conditions on the 4-hourly chart prompted some short-covering amid resurfacing global growth concerns following today’s sluggish Euro-zone PMI prints.

   “¢   However, given that the commodity has already confirmed a near-term bearish break through a descending triangle, the current bounce might still be seen as a selling opportunity.

   “¢   Hence, the recovery seems more likely to confront some fresh supply and fizzle out near the triangle support break-point, now turned resistance – around the $1281-82 region.

   “¢   Any subsequent up-move seems more likely to remain capped near the $1289 confluence barrier – comprising of 100-day SMA and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level.
