Dougie,
Eric Hadik in a free email, suggested a late April to very early May as a potential low in Gold, then a June high and then a more important low in Ocober.
An October low ties in with the Gann crowds 60 year low, I believe.

Personally I am not sure if the April/early May or the October low will be the more important one. The October low may mean a retest or the begining of a real bull trend and possibly from a lower level. In September the sideways to up in the USD should end as well. It may have to do with Merkel becoming less dogmatic with her austerity obsession after being reelected. Just my present thoughts. Price rules as always.

gold has an 8.6 yr cycle . it can divide into 1/3rds or in 1/2 . it looked to me like the 34 month lows @1520s was going to play out. taking that out puts the 4.25 1/2 cycle in play. it is due to bottom any time up until august. this is the dominant cycle in play now. it exerted and expressed itself . of course these conspiracy theories are interesting and could very much prove to be valid. my job is to still make money. so, i go by cycle analysis.
i am a gann trader and the 60 yr cycle, when gann used it as prominent and the 54 yr cycle in wheat, back in his day, that was the life of span of human beings. today i still think its relevant. i dont know what october holds, these long term cycles are not exact. so i dont know what october holds maybe a wave 2 low. the dominant cycle in gold has been the 21-22 month peak to peak up cycle . it is due to top in the june/july window. i sill believe that will be the case. dharma sometimes these cycles invert! yes, that can be the case. its why we have to pay attention to the market and not be dogmatic. gann used so many indicators to reach his conclusions, he was a big proponent of astrology as well.

from the 1620 highs we have , to my counting 7 waves down. of course i have experienced way too many times, 9 doesnt happen. i dont feel pressed and i am in no hurry. i do think however, that the miners come out of this like they did in 08 =Vstyle. remember in 08-09 there was a 25% up day!
