Gold Technical Analysis: Gold weakening near 1,190.00 ahead of FOMC

  • Gold main bear trend is currently on hold as the market has entered a sideways consolidation.
  • Gold is evolving in a tight trading range since early September. Gold is trading between 1,190.00 and $1,210.00 a troy ounce while the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages are coiled together.
  • Gold is currently trading near the low of its range near 1,190.00 but bears would ideally need a clear break below 1,190.00 to get a bear trend confirmation.  
  • The FOMC at 18:00 GMT can lead to extreme volatility.
