Pair's Outlook
Despite the early reading, Gold managed to show a solid 392 green pips on the daily chart, suggesting that bullish momentum prevails, but the resistance cluster at 1,256.77/1,257.69 is most likely to limit upside potential due to the multiple tests that have failed at the area before. We will look for the pair to remain squeezed in between the aforementioned resistance and the 1,249.67/1,248.96 zone. In general it looks like XAU/USD is in the process of establishing a trading range with decent support at 1,242.20.
