Gold Technical Analysis: still far from finding a near-term bottom

   “¢   Confirms a bearish break through a medium-term ascending trend-line, extending from extending from Jan. 2017 lows through lows touched in July/Dec. 2017.

   “¢   An occurrence of a death cross on the daily chart (50-day SMA crossing the very important 200-day SMA from the top) adds credence to a fresh bearish breakdown.  

   “¢   Formation of a descending trend-channel on the 1-hourly suggests an extension of the steady decline, though near-term oversold conditions might help limit sharp downfall.
