Gold Technical Analysis: Corrective slide finds support at 50-hour SMA ahead of NFP
• Despite an early uptick to fresh 6-1/2 month tops, the precious metal failed to sustain/build on its bullish break-though a short-term ascending trend-channel.
• The corrective slide, however, now seems to have found some support near 50-hour SMA, which has been acting as a key support over the past three weeks or so.
• Any subsequent slide is likely to show some resilience near a confluence region, comprising of 100-hour SMA and the ascending trend-channel support.
• Technical indicators on hourly charts have been losing positive momentum and are still pointing to slightly overbought conditions on the daily chart.
• Hence, a sustained weakness below the mentioned support might turn today's uptick as a false breakout and prompt some aggressive long-unwinding trade.
