Gold - What to expect from the FOMC
In our latest post on gold, we noted that the bearish trend lacked momentum, which would result in a sideways moving price action. We said that gold profit-taking would ensue to cover traders' losses elsewhere. We expect this trend to continue in the short term. We will pay close attention to the FED on Wednesday as it is expected to hike interest rates by 50 basis points. In our opinion, this will put further pressure on the U.S. economy, which will see more selling pressure. That is particularly bearish for gold in the short term. Therefore, we voice caution throughout this week as we expect gold to manifest high volatility. Indeed, we think there are high odds for gold to see a short-lived flush that will take it towards 1800 USD. Although in the medium and long term, we remain bullish.

Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are bearish; DM+ and DM- suggest that same condition. Meanwhile, volume is declining, which suggests fewer people are willing to sell at the current price level. We expect volume to drop even more if the price continues lower. Overall, the daily time frame continues to be bearish. However, we think lower prices from the current level are attractive for accumulating more gold.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI is bearish. MACD is also bearish; however, it still hovers in the bullish area. Stochastic is bearish. DM+ and DM- are bullish, although if a bearish crossover occurs, it will cause us to change our medium-term to bearish. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.
