Contrary to expectations, the pair did not try to test a strong support level near the 1,300.00 mark. In contrast, it made a premature turn-around and bypassed the weekly S1 at 1,310.77 as well as the 55-hour SMA. Such outcome suggests that at least first half of this trading day the gold might spend in further advance against the buck. However, it is unlikely that the pair will manage to break through the upper trend-line of a guiding descending channel that is additionally backed up by the 100-hour SMA. This assumption is also supported by the general picture on a daily chart. However, there is a need to notice that the eventual outcome will greatly depend on decision and comments made by the Federal Reserve later this day.
