Gold settled below the resistance at $2580 – $2590 as traders waited for Fed decision, which will be released soon.

In case Powell is dovish, gold will have a good chance to move above $2590 and test the $2600 level.

Silver

Silver is losing ground as gold/silver ratio moved back above the 84.50 level. RSI is in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain additional downside momentum.

A move below the $30.00 level will open the way to the test of the support at $28.75 – $29.00.
