Gold Technical Analysis: Stages a solid rebound from 13-month lows

   •  PBoC news-led modest USD retracement triggers the initial leg of recovery move from the $1200 neighborhood, or 13-month lows, amid near-term oversold conditions.

   •  Disappointing headline NFP print, coupled with trade-related headlines provided an additional boost and lifted the commodity through an important confluence hurdle. 

   •  With RSI (14) on the 1-hourly chart gaining positive momentum, a follow-through up-move, possibly beyond $1220 level, now looks a distinct possibility.
