Gold Technical Analysis: Bounce off the resistance-turned-support favors $1346 return

  • Gold trades a shade lower than the $1330 during the early Asian session on Wednesday.
  • On Tuesday, the bullion bounced off the thirteen-month-old descending trend-line support, previously acting as a resistance.
  • Considering the recent U-turn and a gradual increase in 14-day relative strength index (RSI), the quote is likely to revisit $1334, $1337 and $1346 nearby resistances.
  • In case buyers continue dominating past-$1346, $1357, $1362 and $1366 might appear on their radar.
  • Given the precious metal’s slide under $1322 support-line, an upward sloping trend-line at $1316 that joins lows marked since November 2018 becomes crucial for the traders.
  • Should there be a daily closing under $1316, $1302 and 50-day simple moving average (SMA) figure of $1297.85 may please the sellers.
