XAU/USD moves exactly as expected

Long
FOREXCOM:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
The yellow metal’s price movements in the past trading session have become increasingly easy to forecast. Moreover, the future also seems clear.

First of all, the bullion has revealed the medium term ascending channel’s borders, which help to predict when the metal will reach above the 1,300 mark. Secondly, the commodity price has reached above the 1,290 mark and touched the 1,295 level on Friday.

In the near future it can be expected that the metal’s price will surge above the 1,300 mark. However, that can be hindered, if the new weekly pivot points on Monday obstruct the surge.
Trade closed: target reached:
After reaching the northern boundary of a one week long ascending channel the yellow metal made a rebound and started to decline against the American Dollar until the pair found a support set up by the 100-hour SMA.

At the moment, the pair is fluctuating around the updated weekly PP near 1,284.70, simultaneously being squeezed between the 55-hour SMA from the top and the above 100-hour SMA from the bottom.

Today the bullion is expected to resume the surge. Firstly, because it is continues to move in two ascending channels. Secondly, because the path to the south is additionally secured by the 200-hour SMA and the 61.8 Fibonacci retracement level at 1,278.96.
