Pair's Outlook
From a technical perspective the yellow metal is continuing yesterday's rebound from the 1,250 psychological level. However, the resistance put up by the 200-day SMA has not been broken. Actually, the metal did not even properly touch during Wednesday's trading session. Although, the SMA kept moving northward, and with it additional room for the bullion was freed up, which means that there will still be some minor gains, before gold starts battling the SMA. It is highly possible that after the encounter the yellow metal will move south. -
