Pair's Outlook
On Monday morning the yellow metal was in its sixth consecutive trading session of gains, as the metal traded near the 1,205 mark and was set to score even more gains. The bullion faced no resistance up to the level of 1,211.87, where the first weekly resistance level was located. The commodity price did not simply just jump to this level due to the technical resistance, provided by minor levels of significance, which create the slowed down movement of a financial instruments price. -
Traders' sentiment
SWFX traders remain bullish regarding the future outlook of the yellow metal's price, as 54% of trader open positions are long. In the meantime, 62% of trader set up orders were to buy the metal.
