that is the week the fed meets and will most probably hike(in refference to the above conversation). the fed is trying to get rates to a point , where if a recession occurs(likely , this advance is very long in the tooth=8yrs) they have room to lower. anyway, a hike should rally gold, the last 3 hikes have rallied gold. HOWEVER if you step back and go to 15 every thing since than has been a consolidation. a tr. money velocity has been going down, and continues to go down. perhaps another hike will turn money velocity in an upward direction, which imo needs to happen at some point, for a real bull market to occur in gold. the infrastructure for a real gold bull market is now in place. the environment needs to change. increasing money velocity would be a big sign of that taking place. ie folks would not want to hold onto money they would buy their needs sooner ie food etc. i think that is about to happen w/this next hike. i do feel this 1213 low was a good low. all the signs were there. shouts for new lows,capitulations in the miners, and a very heavy feel to the market. right now the market is more firm on sound footing. the cots have also vastly improved.
i dont buy armstrongs sling shot theory. interesting. but i dont think it is necessary, but what do i know? this 1261 is acting as strong resistance, so a correction is in order, the market is spinning its wheels using up energy.. above there is the gateway to higher prices and a test of the downtrend line from the 11 highs. to gann significant highs and lows act as the stages of the moon pulling and pushing on the tides. 1261 resistance is from the 252 lowest point in gold. anyway, we are getting closer. and closer.
