RHB Investment Bank Bhd (RHB Research) has maintained a positive outlook on COMEX Gold, with the commodity's bullish momentum continuing on Wednesday, rising by US$21 to close at US$2,675.60. The rise signals the possibility of gold crossing above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) line.

The price ended the day at US$2,675.60, marking the formation of its third consecutive bullish candlestick. This pattern indicates a strong bullish momentum in play, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) entering positive territory, further suggesting potential for continued upside movement.
