"I think they're going to raise rates once in 2015, if only because they want to prove that they can do it."

Pair's Outlook
Influenced by mild bearish impetus, created by 100-day SMA and upper Bollinger band, the yellow metal declined in price on Wednesday. However, XAU/USD's losses used to be limited, and the closest demand at 1,200 did not let the bears to extend a drop. The support is currently created by weekly R1, as well as 20 and 55-day SMAs. In case Gold decides to resume its bearish tendency, it will have to close below 1,194 to confirm the near-term negative outlook. On the other hand, a closure above 1,214 will give the metal an opportunity to jump up to 1,222 (200-day SMA).
Traders' Sentiment
Advantage of bulls over bears at the SWFX market is considerable at the moment, as the former are dominating by keeping 74% of all opened positions, up three percentage points from yesterday.
