Gold Technical Analysis: Pennant formation points to continuation of the bearish trend
|• The commodity stalled its goodish recovery move from 19-month lows near 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the $1217-$1160 recent downfall.
• Subsequent price action between two converging trend-lines constituted towards the formation of a bearish continuation pattern - pennant, on the shorter time frame.
• Weakness below the pattern support, currently near $1173-72 area, coinciding with 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, will signal resumption of the prior well-established bearish trend.
• Meanwhile, oversold conditions on daily & weekly charts could be only factors that might help limit any deeper downfall, at least for the time being.
