Xtrade hope you do not mind me asking this. Back in Aug 2007 gold had dipped to 640 (we never saw that since then). The reason was because portfolio managers were selling off gold to cover their losses on stocks.

I know the scenario is way different since then but I have been reading the news and a lot of the buyers have been portfolio managers from U.S and Europe.

Is it likely given the current crisis to see such a sell off? Not that I want to see one.

As I have tried to emphasise - there is no right and wrong, it's a question of finding something in tune with price and then watching for the support and resistance.
The amount of time at the Upper Parallel shows an area of resistance there and would be a place to lighten longs. If it breaks convincingly up that line could very well become a line of support....

imho you might see some fund liquidation but big money (esp from the far east) and central banks are underpinning the PHYSICAL market. I don't think such a dip is feasible....

Thanks beeb. Agree with you on this. Maybe short term money flowing in and out can cause some noise in this long term up trend.

Agree - things are looking somewhat overbought and there is opex approaching, so some window dressing is always possible.

Important to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Markets ebb and flow and confident traders can use these movements to increase or decrease their exposure to a vehicle, whilst taking profits off the table.

This thread sees too many people using the word "bearish" without giving a timeframe. Likewise some have been calling the top in gold for hundreds of dollars.

Everything I see tells me that the long term fundamentals for gold are still very bullish and that it is not in a bubble. If it goes down I will look for support to show and then go long again in my trading positions - if it continues up I will hold my existing positions until I think it has topped.....Short term am wary of opex but will let the charts tell the tale.

True. Gold has moved up consistently and not extensively. This is not a bubble. The crude oil rally can be called a bubble. Gold has a longer history on being the safe haven than anything else.

Went long @ 1612.10 in search of a double bottom. Expecting demand overnight there. 5 waves up and 5 waves down so nothing significant in that.

Stop is in the supply zone at 1605 exactly. Will move stop to break even on a move past 1620.

Plus high volume(colored) on the previous dip indicating demand is there as of now.

mon. silver highs hit @ $41.05 and rotated back to pivot area which was the low for the day.
although $41.73 is of extra interest this week will be watching how 41.27 responds first.

41.27
39.83
38.91
keeping with the trend up, will be watching how 1612 responds today.
personally I would be watching how 1627 -28 area responds before adding to as it may be a point in time for a daily rotation back as silver did yesterday.

waiting for the end of today or tomorrow. for market movement as at the moment its in a slow range.
i think there is a short coming. albeit for a brief period. entering long now is kind of unsubstantiated...

Good morning all,

great action we're seeing in the PM's this week.

@anyone who knows, have the options expired for the PM's for this month yet? I'm curious if the drop last night was as bad as we are going to see... very minor

,k We are all waiting to hear the descision on US Debt & I'm a Gold Bull. (Surprise)

But...
Haven't placed the Trade yet but 1,605 keeps hovering in my head.
Given the right "Bar Structure" matched with FA, that price could be my Biggest Gold Trade in Years.

btw. check the time of this post. I expect Longs to take some casualties within the next 12-14 hours.
