XAU/USD (GOLD) - Trend Analysis

Updated
Gold has been very bullish over the past few weeks making new highs in 2017, however this past week we have seen some (not all) of this bullish momentum slow down as we bounced off a major resistance past 1350 late last week. Since this happened, this weeks price action has actually been bearish and right now we can see that we are in a descending channel approaching a support that was tapped last week. With sufficient bearish momentum we should break this level around 1315 and head back to 1300. The other possibility is the 1315 level holds and we move out of the channel and maybe make a series of higher highs and higher lows, restarting the uptrend to new highs. A catalyst for one of these moves could be the FOMC meeting this Wednesday.
Note
FOMC was bullish for USD which brought Gold to take the route down. Zones were effective.
