By Fast Brokers<\/strong> – Gold has continued to avoid a retest of the psychological $1100\/oz level, finding support above 12\/11 lows and our 4th tier uptrend line.\u00a0 The precious metal is experiencing a bit of intraday strength after U.S. economic data printed mixed.\u00a0 Although PPI came in 10 basis points above analyst expectations, U.S. manufacturing and production data sent a mixed signal.\u00a0 Hence, investors are taking today as an opportunity to lock in gains on the Dollar.\u00a0 The EUR\/USD, GBP\/USD, and AUD\/USD are all stabilizing from intraday lows, supporting today\u2019s consolidation in gold.\u00a0 However, volatility could pick up tomorrow with more key data from the EU, UK, and U.S. along with the Fed\u2019s monetary policy decision.\u00a0 Although the Fed is expected to keep its monetary policy unchanged, any slight shift in its monetary policy stance in response to recent unemployment and consumption data could yield Dollar strength and gold weakness.\u00a0 However, if the Fed downplays the recent upturn in economic data and affirms its past monetary policy, then we may witness a bounce in gold and weakness in the Dollar.\u00a0 Naturally, the abundance of fundamental economic data releases has the potential to move the market as well.\u00a0 Hence, investors should monitor activity in the FX markets as investors react to tomorrow\u2019s events.\u00a0 That being said, the EUR\/USD and Cable are flirting with some important uptrend lines.\u00a0 Any significant setbacks in these currency pairs could drag gold lower due to the precious metal\u2019s negative correlation with the Dollar.<\/p>\n

Technically speaking, gold has multiple uptrend lines serving as technical cushions along with 12\/11, 12\/9, 11\/13, and 11\/10 lows.\u00a0 Furthermore, the psychological $1100\/oz level could serve as a reliable technical support should it be tested.\u00a0 As for the topside, we\u2019ve placed a downtrend line on our chart, albeit a steep one.\u00a0 Additionally, gold faces topside technical barriers in the form of 12\/11,12\/9 and 12\/7 highs along with the psychological $1150\/oz and $1175\/oz levels.<\/p>\n
