Gold Technical Analysis: In search of a firm near-term direction, FOMC decision awaited
|• The precious metal witnessed a goodish intraday bounce from ascending trend-line support held since the beginning of this week and has now turned positive for the fourth consecutive session.
• The mentioned support coincides with another ascending trend-line, extending from monthly lows, and also nears 200-hour SMA, which should now act as a key pivotal point for short-term traders.
• Meanwhile, oscillators on hourly charts have just started gaining traction but maintained their neutral bias on the daily chart, suggesting indecision about the commodity's near-term trajectory.
• Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break – either below the mentioned confluence support or above the recent swing high, before determining the next leg of a directional move.
