A release of the US employment data last Friday predictably stopped the gold from losing value against the buck. In result of the surge that was also strengthened by growing fears over the North Korean crisis, the pair has practically broke through the upper boundary of a dominant ascending channel. 

From a fundamental side, today the Dollar is not expected to have any news that could motivate it to start to recover. 

From a technical side, the further surge is obstructed by the updated weekly R1 at 1,339.42 and then by the monthly R1 at 1,348.36. 

In the meantime, the southern side has a barrier-free area up until the 55- and 100-hour SMAs that are located slightly above the weekly PP a 1,315.75. 

An average market sentiment point out on a rebound, as 62% of traders remain bearish on the given exchange rate.
