Gold is trading sideways in a narrow trading range of $1,320 – $1,328 today. Unfortunately, it missed our buy limit at $1,321 just by inches and bounced off after printing a low of $1,321.75. Anyways, we may see a breakout during the U.S. session, especially with the release of the U.S. consumer confidence figures.  Are you still ready to trade?​

Gold – XAU/USD – Trading Plan

Today, the idea is to stay bearish below $1,329 with a stop above $1,331 and a take profit of $1,322. However, the market may violate the technical setups on the release of the U.S. consumer confidence numbers during the New York session. Stay tuned for updates!
