Yesterday's decline to $2633 attracted some buying and today's trading witnesses recovery attempts currently facing resistance at $2652 which bulls need to clear through in order to extend recovery towards next hurdle $2663
If there is enough buying momentum above $2663, expect rebound extending to turning point $2677 where sellers are likely to resurface.

On the flip side, if immediate support $2643-$2641 is breached, the metal is likely to retest $2633 below which sellers will try to push lower for $2620

Meanwhile, markets are likely to remain sideways with relative volatility on Fed's rate announcement that will give further clues to Dollar direction.
