Gold Technical Analysis: Intraday up-move tests 200-hour SMA/50% retracement confluence hurdle

   “¢   The precious metal built on its steady intraday climb and extended the positive momentum further beyond $1240 confluence resistance to hit fresh session tops in the last hour.

   “¢   Move beyond the mentioned barrier – comprising of 50-hour SMA and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of last week’s corrective slide, triggered the latest leg of a sudden spike.

   “¢   Bulls, however, failed to capitalize on the up-move and struggled to make it through another confluence hurdle, comprising of 200-hour SMA and 50% Fibonacci retracement level.

   “¢   Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a strong follow-through buying before traders start positioning for any further near-term up-move ahead of the latest FOMC monetary policy update.
