The massive MOVE in USD-CHF didn't affect GOLD at all..

very interesting, considering both were in inverse correlation for some time...

Probably a reflection of the fact that the franc was manipulated in this latest move, not the dollar or gold.

I could be wrong.

This is from RTFX - I generally appreciate their accuracy.

There are initial signs of a good corrective recovery towards 43.12 or even 43.39. Supports at 42.59 and 42.32 zone. Elliott: crucial reversal point. Closing: 42.85. Pivot: 42.86.

XTrade, if XAU moves beyond 1908 further, what say silver? There should be joint upward movement correct?

Well it can be a good sign that a doubletop may be the case, so that gold may go down to supports from here.. but, i'm flat on gold, i don't like to pick tops/bottoms countertrend.. but i thought it was a nice image to be shown

Fair enough. Gold/silver are tricky and tops/bottoms are difficult to pick. I find most technical analysis I've seen has been little better than 50/50 in the past couple months. I still favour a cautious long strategy that leaves one's account safe in the event of a significant 10% correction.

Even if you do pick the bottom or top, conservatively set stops can be triggered while you sleep (and I'm not willing to use the alarm settings). Gold has been volatile, although silver still takes the cake. I have had success, but have been caught once with stops set three times in a row by outlier candle stick wicks over two days. Eventually I was asleep and unable to de-hedge and got caught.

Any champion de-hedging strategies? I have personally witnessed people with uncanny ability, but it often boils down to persistance, luck, and not over-leveraging yourself.

Cheers

Well, last week when the head and shoulders formed, some BEARS were saying that gold was going to 1650 and nothing happened.. so..

1870 seems pretty strong now. Is it just me?

Are you still seeing his posts around here ?
I must of missed his apology whether that drivvel was intentional or not.
The way he responded to me is that he doesnt get the point of being respectful to others while in conversation.
Ive dealt with a few in my life with that disposition and the only hope for them was for them to "act as if until it becomes reality" otherwise its more of the same.
For his sake and others I wish him the best.
By the way there was no round as far as Im concerned as it was a no contest.

1901 monday highs hit with gold bouncing down along with silver following to silvers daily trend guide 42.25 area.
With the bounce back up they both closed like they want to continue north.
