Everybody is waiting for the FOMC meeting minutes today. The metal is preparing for the mega event.

In the daily chart, we can observe the formation of head and shoulder pattern. The right-hand shoulder is in progress. The weekly pattern is framed between $1,244.00 and $1,178.00. The metal price movement is likely to favor bulls in the near term. The price has slightly corrected, and another sharp run takes place again. Intraday support is found at $1,206.50. We recommend selling below $1,206.00 with targets at $1,201.00, $1,198.00, and $1,195.00. The weekly uptrend is likely to be erased in case the price breaks below $1,178.00.
