Gold Update

While the main market indices are struggling, the commodities especially the Gold is silently making its move to the upside. As can be seen from the daily chart below, it continues to defy the 'shorters' (the bears) and they are getting squeezed. The way I can see from my crystal ball is that it might reach the 1400 level and might consolidate a bit and then on the way to 1500.

Friday's Crude Trade Setup

A powerful reversal from the Crude market today. Notice that bullish hammer followed by another bullish candle that exactly move up from the hammer candle's closed price. Capturing this kind of move needs a lot of attention from the price action, and you need a wider stop.

Friday's Gold Trade Setup

Gold made a nice run from today's trading. Nice consolidation as shown from the rectangular area. This is where patience in waiting for the right opportunity pays off.

NASDAQ TO 'NASDARK'

The market was struggling moving upwards today when the Nasdaq (indices) experienced a breakdown around noontime and able to resume its trading activities two or three hours after. It's like a patient who loses its breath in the middle of the bypass surgery and was revive only through resuscitation. The chart below shows how it 'lost its breath'.

Is Gold On The Way Up?

Showing the daily chart below of the Gold futures market, the way I observe from the technical view seems it's on the way up. It penetrates the trend line and the ema's indicators are pointing upwards. And looks like it formed a shallow cup with a handle pattern. My best guess here is that it might reach or breach the 1400 level (this week?) and might stall from there. Let's find out this week's market.

Gold Made Another Big Leap

Gold made another stunning leap last Friday's market. It drops (down) early in the open but recovered dramatically. It maintained its thrust till the close. Looks like Gold starts to recover.

Gold Made a Double Leap

Shown is the 15-minute chart from the Gold Futures where it made a two vertical leap, the first from the overnight session and the second from the regular session. Capturing this kind of setup needs a lot of waiting and patience. Able to capture the first leap but missed the second one for I fell asleep, got tired waiting for it (Jesse Livermore says, 'Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn').
