Gold Technical Analysis: Set-up points to additional near-term gains amid risk-off mood
• Over the past one week or so, the precious metal has been scaling higher along a short-term ascending trend-channel formation on the 1-hourly chart.
• The fact that the commodity is holding above important intraday moving averages - 50, 100 & 200-hour SMAs, support prospects for further up-move.
• Bullish technical indicators on hourly charts add credence to the bullish outlook, though slightly overbought conditions on the daily chart might cap gains.
