Gold's triple bottom

  1. 4,486 Posts.
    Gold has now set a triple bottom at $1180.
    Surprisingly its 3rd attempt basically failed as soon as it started.
    It appears ammunition had run out with the spec market already circa 7M ounces short at the time & then US equity markets got thumped, again. Combine that with increased physical demand & we now have a gold price over $50 above the triple bottom.

    Could it be re-tested? Definitely & I think gold needs to break above $1240 & hold for me to be convinced that isn't going back straight down again. The US equity market performance will probably have a lot to do with what happens next & we may well see another test, however if so, I suspect we will see the same result. i.e. gold holds.
    I suspect the market at this point is still short speculatively, however obviously not to the same extent.
    A break of $1240 I think would see the remaining shorts cover so we may see a considerable spike if this level is taken out.
