The yellow metal is expected to trade sideways until it is approached by the support of the 55-hour simple moving average.

In theory, the 55-hour SMA should provide the commodity price with the needed support to resume its surge.

Hourly Chart



On the daily candle chart, on Monday, Dukascopy Analytics added a new channel up pattern, which was drawn by using the February and December low levels.

In general, judging by the size of this pattern and comparing it with the pattern that guided the late 2019 decline, it is expected that the channel up could guide the price upwards during the following months.
