In line with expectations, the yellow metal continued to rally against the buck on Monday.  

In result of the seven-hour surge, the pair managed to reach combined resistance formed by the monthly and weekly R1 at 1,297.00-1,298.00 and confirmed an assumption about transformation of the channel into the rising wedge formation. 

The appearance of new pattern only additionally confirmed that bulls are trying to push the rate to the 1,302.00 level. As that area is protected by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, the pair is expected to make a fully-fledged rebound. 

However, in shorter perspective there is need to take into account that Trump's meeting with Senate Republicans regarding prospects of tax reform as well as Powell's appearance before Congress are likely to lead to strengthening of the buck and retreat to 1,292.00.
