this is the reason i havent been trading lately. price increase on declining volume creating what looks like a bearish flag.
That is a possibility, 38 retrace was or is hard to break,
but atm i think bulls are currently in control, i try to catch the 1720 zone,
and see what happens there.

I new this was going to be a difficult week to anticipate.
Gold hit the anticipated 1691 area and rotatated back hanging around monthly pivot 1674 and waited for sis to reach her monthly pivot area 33.28.
So whats the 2 of you going to do ?
Look for direction coming out of golds weekly pivot 1664 along with eye on 1674 response to the north.
sis weekly pivot is 32.62 and response to the north of 33.28.
Again being that we are dealing with higher timeframe rotation (yearly and quarterly) its harder to anticipate direction.
This week the past tue, wed, and thurs bouncing off of the top (1650) of a 4th quarter channel im looking at along with a weekly close above 1674.
Also, fri direction came up from daily trendguide 1662 , weekly guide 1668 and closed above monthly pivot 1674.
bias is north from 1634-40 area for this week.
from my angle a break from 1696-1714 area and were off to the races looking at more top side as others have pointed out.

I have read all the reasons gold should be dropping in price & have concluded... Selfiish Pr!ccs want to Buy More Lower.

Alright - 1683 has to GO!

This looks like it could be the break coming up.

68-72 is a good area to BUY, if we get there soon, without 1684 breaking.

yes, it did cross my mind ..... but it seemed to hit a strong restistance ..forming an ascending triangle ... meaning : bullish bias ? ... accumulation going on ?... perhaps VSA exponents could interpret it better ... any takers .. ?

On GOLD it's important not to loose sight of the BIG PICTURE. This is a daily CHART OF GOLD

[b]1) We are well supported by the TL now
2) Price contained within the CONTAINER
3) Once container breaks out - strong reaction expected
4) Current PA configuration points @ further upside
5) QP is 1675 MP is 1692 QR1 is 1870 MR1 is 1851.
6) Once BOX breaks and MP...
box is about to break, once MP is cleared @ 1692 expect a STRONG move UP

I'm quite wary of a possible impending massive risk off shift if this EU thing turns out to be full of hot air..

This morning, Gold fell after hitting $1696 US. Some is likely because the USD rose last weekend and gold is proportionally more expensive for anyone not on the USD. Other reasons why I suspect it fell has to do with a gold bubble that the gold mining equities have not been keeping up with. One reason why I know it fell is because according to Bloomberg, Hong Kong started trading gold in Yaun at the equivalent of $1683 US.

The question I have relates to how far gold will drop if China is not out to destabilize the USD in retaliation for the US government passing legislation that affects the Yaun?

Here is the Graph I use

I'm feeling more bearish now, Asia sold the EUR down a bit and that was before Germany came out this morning saying that this weekend would not be a difinitive solution to the debt crisis. I wonder what NY will do, I feel some risk off/correction/pullback to last week's bull run might be on the cards.

How this will affect gold I'm not sure. Wouldn't suprise me at all to see stocks/EUR/AUD etc take a hit and gold to flap along in a $5-8 range.

But I am likely to be completely wrong - wouldn't be the first time. I'm flat on gold/silver for now until the range breaks, but looking to short EUR at NY open - or buy it if it breaks the other way and carries on up..
Anything can happen.

sir ruffryders
This is what i wanted to reply in your thread.

I'm not blaming you for my losses
after all its my decision to take trade or not and it me who is responsible for loss
I was getting a feel that PA will come back but since you are more experienced then me so I followed your path but i didn't know your strategy of 5$ SL in gold so that's the reason my order left open and its still open

it could be possible that 17K is not a big money for you but i lost 50% of my equity today so that's the reason for my panic.

anyways loss are part of this business and I'm sorry if you feel i'm blaming...

but you recalled the rights
anyhow its your thread and you have all the rights
happy trading

Who do you think is the most powerful gold mover?

Both Newmont and Barrick release their earnings data next week.

Hi Jaimini, if you have lost 50% of your equity on a smallish move like this then maybe your lot size or leverage was too large. If you place smaller trades or reduce your leverage then you can have a stop wider than $5 - sometimes you need your SL to be further away than $5 to get it under a trendline or support, particularly if you can't watch it constantly. Better to make lots of smaller profits (and losses if it goes the other way) than blow it all trying to make huge profits all at once.

And believe me I understand your panic, been there done that (too many times) - take a breath, analyse the trade(s) that went wrong and make sure you don't do the same thing again. Just don't give up!!

cheers Cath
