Gold Technical Analysis: Retests weekly trading range support
|• The precious metal extended overnight rejection slide from 200-hour SMA and dropped to test the lower end of its weekly trading range in the last hour.
• A strong follow-through USD buying interest was seen as one of the key factors exerting some fresh selling pressure around the dollar-denominated commodity.
• A convincing break through the rectangular chart pattern formation should open room for the resumption of the commodity's well-established bearish trend.
• Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have started drifting into oversold territory and might be the only factor to help limit deeper losses ahead of today's US CPI figures.
