Gold Technical Analysis: Challenges 100-DMA, bears eyeing a sustained break through $1280 support

   “¢   The precious metal remained under some selling pressure for the third consecutive session on Monday, with bears now eyeing a follow-through weakness below 100-day SMA for the first time since mid-Nov. 2018.

   “¢   A convincing break through the mentioned support, leading to a subsequent slide below $1280 horizontal zone would mark a bearish breakdown and pave the way for an extension of the depreciating move.

   “¢   Technical indicators on hourly charts maintained their bearish bias and have just started gaining negative momentum on the daily chart, further reinforcing/adding credence to the near-term bearish outlook.

   “¢   Hence, any attempted rebound might now be seen as an opportunity to initiate some fresh bearish positions for an eventual downside target of $1260 with some intermediate support near the $1275 and $1268-66 regions.
