Due to increase of the US Consumer Price Index, the yellow metal continued to advance against the buck simultaneously in two ascending channels. On the one hand, the pair is experiencing pressure from the 55- and 100-hour SMAs, which are continuously pushing it to the top. On the other hand, the pair faces a notable resistance level formed by the monthly PP at 1,304.85, which it has already failed to bypass once. There is a need to notice that intersection between the above two channels reminds another pattern, i.e. rising wedge. If this assumption is true, the pair has to make a breakout to the bottom somewhere between the 1,305 and 1,310 marks. However, if macroeconomic background will remain unfavourable, the rate most likely is going to surge to the 1,314 level.
