XAU/USD Analysis: Trades near upper pattern line

On Wednesday, the XAU/USD exchange rate reversed north from the lower boundary of the ascending triangle pattern. During today's morning, the rate was trading near the upper pattern line at 1,722.00.

From a theoretical perspective, it is likely that a reversal south could occur in the nearest future. Meanwhile, it is unlikely that a breakout from the pattern could occur due to the support formed by the 55-, 100– and 200-hour SMAs in the 1,705.00 area. Read more...
