Haresh Menghani FXStreet

• After an Asian session dip to $1298, the precious metal regained positive traction and was seen building on Friday's goodish bounce from 200-hour SMA.

• Currently hovering around 23.6% Fibo. level of the $1280-$1313 recent up-move, bullish oscillators on the 1-hourly chart support prospects for further gains.

• Meanwhile, technical indicators on 4-hourly/daily charts are also catching up with the positive momentum and add credence to the constructive set-up.

• Hence, any dips to the $1300 psychological mark might be seen as a buying opportunity for a move back towards the recent swing highs, around the $1313 region.
