However, during Tuesday’s trading the bullions price increased its volatility to the downside, as the commodity price once more confirmed the uptrend line at 1,226.12. The bullion seems to have formed a short term triangle, as there is another trend line, which together with the uptrend line forms a triangle pattern. Although, for the clues regarding the direction of the upcoming break out market participants need to look at fundamental data coming out from the Federal Reserve.
