Gold Technical Analysis: forming a bearish flag on hourly chart
|• Attempted recovery alongside an ascending trend-channel seems to have formed a bearish flag chart pattern on the 1-hourly chart.
• A convincing break below the channel support would expose a medium-term ascending trend-line, extending from Jan. 2017 lows through lows touched in July/Dec. 2017.
• On the same chart, short-term technical indicators have recovered from near-term oversold conditions but haven't been supportive of any additional gains.
