Zooming down to the 60-minute time frames, /GC is wedged between the 60-minute uptrend line & minor downtrend line support with a solid break above or below either likely to determine the next near-term direction in gold (although /GC also needs to clear the 1952ish resistance level just above the minor downtrend line to open the door for more upside).

As gold typically trades inversely to the US Dollar, I continue to monitor the charts of /DX (US Dollar futures) closely. Following the recent divergent low followed by the breakout above the 60-minute bullish falling wedge pattern, /DX rallied into & was just rejected off the intersecting minor downtrend line + 93.191ish price resistance level with the next buy signal to come on a solid break and/or 60-minute close above it. Previous (Sept 1st) & updated 60-minute charts of /DX below.
