Gold Technical Analysis: Clears a descending trend-line hurdle and 200-hour SMA

   “¢   The precious metal regained positive traction on Wednesday and is now holding comfortably above a short-term descending trend-line resistance.  

   “¢   With short-term technical indicators gaining positive momentum, a follow-through up-move beyond 200-hour SMA adds credence to the bullish breakout.

   “¢   Hence, an extension of the positive momentum, led by some fresh technical buying, now looks a distinct possibility.
