The price for gold was facing the resistance of the 2,340.00 level and continued to fail at all attempts to reach above it. Meanwhile, the 100-hour simple moving average was acting as support.

In general, Jerome Powell stated on Tuesday that the Fed needs more data before cutting interest rates. On Wednesday, various US data sets were released either below expectations or at forecast.

Namely, take into account the 2,340.00 level, the 100-hour simple moving average and the lower trend line of the channel up.
