Gold Technical Analysis: struggles to breakthrough a descending trend-channel

   “¢   Once again fails to breakthrough a bullish flag chart pattern formation on the 1-hourly chart, despite the post-NFP USD weakness and persistent trade war fears.  

   “¢   With short-term technical indicators starting to lose their positive momentum, repeated rejection at higher levels now seems to suggest a possible retest of 100-hour SMA support.

   “¢   A subsequent slid could get extended towards the short-term descending trend-channel (flag) support, which if broken might negate prospects for any further recovery.
