XAU/USD Analysis: Forms minor triangle pattern
|Early hours of this trading session showed that yesterday’s attempt to return the price of gold back to the pre-fall 1,283.90 level failed. In particular, the exchange rate did not manage to bypass the monthly PP at 1,279.41 that was additionally backed up by the slipping 55- and 100-hour SMAs. In the meantime, the fact that it also failed to fall below the slope whose fourth confirmation point lies near the 1,275.80 level indicate on existence of a small ascending triangle formation. If this assumption is true, then the pair is expected to climb to the 1,279.00 mark. However, then a breakout most probably is going to occur in the opposite direction due to pressure from the above moving averages. But if traders give more weight to the larger rising wedge pattern, the pair is likely to break to the top.
