Gold Technical Analysis: recovery attempts likely to get sold into
| • Reviving safe-haven demand, led by escalating US-China trade tension, eased the bearish pressure and helped bounce off YTD lows.
• The commodity remains well below short/medium/longer-term moving averages and hence, any meaningful recovery might be seen as an opportunity to initiate fresh bearish positions.
• A medium-term ascending trend-line, extending from Jan. 2017 lows through lows touched in July/Dec. 2017, might come into play amid bearish short-term technical indicators.
