Where we close the week will be v important IMHO. It's not so much the breach of resistance that I'm looking for as opposed to where support manifests itself on any retracement....

This weeks close should give us a good indication of future prices to come, definitely something I'd be looking at.

It would be nice and relieving if we could enter again in the uptrend channel, we should pay attention in the near future to the 1695-1700lvl, i think that is a strong resistance giving the fact that it was a fairly good and accurate support for the uptrend channel for 4 years...

To me, your channel ceased to exist after it was violated severely over the past 12 months, I wouldn't still use it to analyze today's price action.

Just my 2 cents

just a simple chart
silver
As my old friend LongshotNL points out in post #20565. silver is nudging the downtrend from the ATH.

However without going over our past discussions, I will disagree with him about the efficacy of EW

For your own safety.

I hate to say it but EW is for the birds, if you can make it work for you than great, not a system I have any interest in pursuing in the slightest.

To many invariable variables....

Simple Support and Resistance works better for Gold IMVO.

You are right in that thought but I think mike has it drawn wrong.

It should emerge in 2008 off something like 1100 and allow for BLOWOUT ON TOP AND BOTTOM, so he may not in fact be too far out.

Plus support and resistance work with gold.

I will make a new one and we will see.

Split, take the 100 week SMA and apply to the weekly spot chart and see the results.

Split is technically right: the channel has been breached 2 times so he's right, but after that the price moved to the lower band touching the support (A) almost to the pip and then got back up touching the resistance (B) almost to the pip, after breaching the support the price met resistance in the point (C) and the price responded to the line...now, that might be nothing...we'll see...

Goes to show waiting for a retrace that never happens can cost you money.

I was hoping a pullback at point 1 and now waiting for point 2. No positions at this time. Also we are at resistance on the long term channel and RSI is getting highish.

Looking to load up a long after any retrace, if not I will be crying even more.

He up 65k on this move, I asked this morning he bought way down the bottom 1560 or something. As well as his physical holdings.

On the flip side he closed out 130k loss over the summer by having too much belief, large position size and no stop losses.

Anything is possible but I believe this is part of something bigger based on seasonal factors as well as technical price action. Holding above 1650 is also a bullish sign for entry.

I would think some people to be taking profits here though which hopefully gives me a good entry point.

Rsi is 73 ( the blue line chart at the bottom) but it has been well over 80 in recent times before a reversal so could still be some pump left before we have some fall back.

It's been a good bull run, 1663 might be a bit of an uphill task to breach. I use mostly the 15 minute chart. The US fundamental data coming out at 8.30am EST might bring some retracement. I am planning to close my longs if it falls and closes below 15 min support at 1660, with a possibility to load another long at the previous open at 1655 (white dotted line) or major pivot at 1648ish.
