Gold Technical Analysis: Ascending trend-channel breakout suggests an extension of intraday up-move

   “¢   The precious metal benefitted from a broad-based USD weakness and is now looking to build on its intraday bullish break through an ascending trend-channel formation on the 15-min. chart.

   “¢   Technical indicators on hourly/daily charts have failed to support any firm directional bias, albeit a move beyond the channel resistance has opened the room for additional intraday gains.

   “¢   A sustained move beyond the key $1200 psychological mark will further add credence to the constructive outlook and continue driving the metal higher amid escalating US-China trade tensions.
