Short @ 1352.05 just below WPP after pullback to LTL, let's see.....

WPP served as resistance and turned the up-move (retrace).
Staying with my short can't find any reason to depart from it.
First target last low at 1337.60 but do not think it will halt the down-move for long.

Went through 1337.60 without any problem.
Next target 1326 being 38.2% retrace from the move 1157 => 1430

Looks like a nice round-top pattern on Daily & Weekly chart Reverse in trend ?

That's what I am betting on, problem is sitting out those retraces......

Well I like the level 1337 becouse its leet, but i belive in 1300 (+-)... The triple top/rounded top or whatever it may be called is huge. Can't imagine force that would send it back there.

I added a short since the 1353 today, but i closed it too soon (about an hour before the big drop - god do I hate this),...

anyway, still holding for more shorts...

may I ask where do you trade gold?


BTW: if you check weekly tf EMA 34, you will find the market using it as a resistance very often... +- 1305 now, i will be prepared for any reversing daily pattern here... any opinions about that? luv u guys

Sorry to hear that close of the 1353 trade, major trick (at least for me) is seeing the big picture and sitting it out as long as PA doesn't prove otherwise. Problem here (for me) is profit contained in the trade not influencing decisions.

I trade XAU/USD with FXCM

I'll look into that EMA 34, thanks!

Liking it for a major dose of short. FOMC on Wednesday and UCHF may be putting in a right shoulder here + we have BOJ sabre rattling about intervention in the Yen if the Yen bulls wanna try it on.

Such a noticeable lack of buying support in recent weeks. Very little in the path of a major correction.

Yes, but one of the pullbacks was too big for my understanding of the rule "never let winner turn into a looser"... Sad but i am in again becouse of the outside bar (retrace at the 1337 (leet level ) ....

so gl hf on the short ride, lets see what happens down at 1321 and then on the weekly trend line...

here's the chart of mine..

Maybe up to 1337.5 or 1342 which are 50% and 61.2% retrace of the last leg down, and wait for reversal action on 4hr

Maybe little premature but trying again:
Short @ 1336.65 with tight stop

It might work but seeing recent development I'd rather prefer to go long near 1329.

Yes you might be right, it's a little tricky what I'm doing, just guessing in a weak environment a 38.2% retrace might do
