The yellow metal continues to trade in accordance with the descending channel pattern, as the commodity price bounced off the support of the channel on Monday. That means that a short term ascending pattern is highly set to reveal itself. The reason or that is the fact that in accordance with the theory the bullion’s price should surge up to the resistance of the channel down. However, the surge has already been hindered by the 55-hour SMA, which on Tuesday morning was located just below the 1,215 mark. Although, it could be observed already during the early hours of the trading session that the metal will make another attempt at breaking through the SMA. If the metal succeeds at that, it will face additional resistance from the 100-hour SMA, which was fluctuating below 1,220 level.
