Pair's Outlook
The yellow metal continued to surge during Wednesday's trading session, marking the third consecutive session of gains. However, the bullion is facing a strong resistance level, which is keeping it down. The resistance is represented by the weekly R1 at 1,189.45, and the resistance is set to become even stronger, as the 55-day SMA is moving lower and will join the weekly R1 tomorrow. In addition, at 1,195.14 is a trend line intersection of the medium and long term patterns. These factors combined indicate at an end of the bullion's surge. A reversal of the trend is about to occur.
