The precious metal gold held mostly steady as investors remained cautious ahead of a G7 meeting beginning later in the day.  Gold is likely to continue trading sideways due to key events next week such as the U.S. monetary policy meeting and a U.S.-North Korea summit. During the Asian session, we opened a forex trading signal on gold. Here’s an update on it…

Firstly, the 9, 50 and 100 periods moving averages are suggesting a bearish in gold and are likely to provide a resistance near $1,296.

Secondly, the RSI and Stochastics have a bearish crossover on the 4-hour chart. The recent value of RSI is 28 which is signaling bearish bias of traders.

Thirdly, the bearish price action shows a breakout of $1,296 support. The next support prevails at $1,290/89.
