Gold Technical Analysis: Buyers can aim for $1300 till 100-day SMA support remains intact

Gold daily chart

• Having bounced off 100-day simple moving average (SMA), Gold is on the bids around $1292.50 during early Asian session on Friday.
• Considering the recent pullback, the yellow metal may now aim for $1300 round-figure ahead of confronting 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of August 2018 to February 2019 upside near $1303 and 50-day SMA level of $1308. However, a downward sloping trend-line connecting February and March high, at $1317, could challenge buyers then after.
• Alternatively, a daily close under 100-day SMA, at $1282 now, may need validation through $1280 in order to visit 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of $1275, a break of which can recall $1266 ahead of highlighting eight-month-old support-line at $1257 now.
