|- Gold shows early signs of bottoming out.
- But only a close today above $1,257 would confirm a short-term bull reversal.
Currently, gold (XAU/UD) is trading at $1,257, having clocked a session high and low of $1,260 and $1,254, respectively.
The yellow metal created a bullish outside-day candle on Tuesday, signaling the sell-off from the April high of $1,365 may have run out of steam. However, only a daily close today would confirm a short-term bearish-to-bullish trend change and open doors to a stronger corrective rally,
Note, the US markets are closed on account of the Independence Day holiday. Hence, volumes will likely remain thin during the day ahead.
