... thanks Stu, will check out EagleCharts To append my prior post, my GLD:USD weekly chart is based on a logarithmic scale, so the target ratio by year-end is actually closer to 3-3.2 My guess is this takes $GOLD to $1850, and USD to 60. The immediate channel defined by Oct 09 low shows a pullback target ratio of 1.9. Again, my guess would be that this takes us to USD 75, GLD 142.50 and $GOLD 1470 by end of July. Early August will be a great time to re-load the truck.

Interesting article from Peter Schiff:

The Institutional Gold Rush

Appears Gold is moving into stronger hands here - fits with our present shakeout.

Given that the US Dollar has finally made a "turn" today coming back into the 'primary' declining wedge (moving above 74 as I type this), having turned above the 'mini' wedge yesterday (charts will update at EOD) - where to now? First important resistance is 74.25 the 'top' of the primary declining wedge and we could get hesistation or even a reversal here, especially if this bottom yesterday was Wave 3 and now in Wave 4. Next up 'take your pick' - if Wave 4 should top-out 74-76, if yesterday was the low of Wave 1 then Wave 2 could take us back towards 78-80 or even 81 (a full retrace of the declining wedge.

A test of broken "pink" trendline is possible (77-78)

"A test of broken "pink" trendline is possible (77-78)" I agree. I don't think it will be heading any higher than that. It might take several months but eventually I think the 2008 lows will be taken out.

Senor, do you think it is headed significantly above 78? Just curious.
