XAUUSD : 4 Hour Chart Gold declined yesterday after the Fed monetary policy statement breaking below the key support at 1231.96 but continue to follow the downward sloping channel trend. Fed continues to hold the benchmark interest rate unchanged at .00-.25% and said that it would likely close its monthly bond-buying program in October. The central bank was buying $25 billion in treasury debt and mortgage backed securities monthly to stimulate the economy. However it decided it reduce the stimulus to $15 billion and most likely close it in October meeting. I think Gold will be declining to multi year lows when the Fed will wind up the stimulus program in the next monetary policy meeting. The moving averages are heading in the same downward direction and are moving apart signaling that the pair will continue to follow the downtrend.
