Gold likely to remain rangebound till support of 1276.70$ holds

Gold likely to remain rangebound till support of 1276.70$ holds Gold is likely to trade in a tight range due to global growth concerns.
The yellow metal traced out a near-term top near 1298-1297$ in early Jan 2019 via the formation of a double top pattern. While the resulting downtrend stalled on Tuesday, the ensuing corrective phase has just come to an end as prices pierced at a parallel support level at 1276.70$, developed a double bottom.

Selling pressure remains very strong; a descending triangle is still evident in the four-hour chart. On top of this, the daily indicators are extremely bearish, hence near-term setting is negative. Under these conditions, a recovery above Jan high still seems difficult.

At the time of preparing this, the price is trading at 1285.50$ tad below the first resistance 1287.50$. Support just has been elevated from 1279$ to 1283$
