The upper trend line of the adjusted small scale ascending channel pattern is providing resistance to the commodity price. However, it has to be noted that the trend lines drawn on the yellow metal’s charts have to be taken into account as indicators of where the zones of significance are located at. Meanwhile, it is highly likely that the yellow metal will soon begin a retreat down to the lower trend line of the channel up pattern. The bullion’s price is most likely going to attempt to find support in the 55-hour SMA, which on Tuesday morning was located just below the 1,230 mark. In the meantime, the lower trend line of the ascending channel was supported by the 100-hour SMA near the 1,225 mark.
