Gold's Downside Break

Gold's Downside Break - Gold Apr 6 (Chart 1)

Golds break below 880 support (38% retracement of the rise from the Oct lows) has been partly brought about by the broadening of the equity market bouncesector rotation beyond health care and into technology and financials away from metals. Last weeks IMF announcement to allow gold sales for funding was also instrumental in accelerating golds retreat. A close below the 100-day MA of 878 should pave the way for the $855-860 territory, which is both the 200-DAY and 50-WEEK moving averages. A break below this level could start looking like the beginning of a Head&Shoulder.

Cappy, Shortterm silver chart may appear bearish (bearish divergence between falling daily stochastics and rising price). Last 2 daily sessions regained the 38% retracement of $12.29 and is now approaching the 200-day MA of $12.58 (also trend line resists), which if broken may trigger $13.15. I myself am long silver.

Hi Ashraft,

Thanks again,

Carico, hope you enjoy the book. Chapters 3 & 4 were written for people to understand what happened to each major currency between 1999 and 2007 and more importantly WHY. 1999 for isnatance proved almost like 2008, as far as FX performance.

As for Gold, with 859 being the 200-day MA, i use the 840 support, which is just below the 50% retracement at 844.00.

Best

ashraf im on chapter 4 of your book, it's a really great book for historical reference points, ive been following your bullish argument about gold target $1000-$1200 medium long term (6months??) do you think this is retracement in gold is down to the g20 obama effect? surely with more money and quantative easing being implemented in various degrees around the world would put pressure on a gold price resurgence, could you explain WHY $840 is such a key support level for you?

Apache, watch 840 as the key support.

Cappy, I wrote a whole chapter (chapter 5) on risk appetite in my book. It is the only book that has a whole chapter on the topic, relating it to FX, equities and interest rates. Higher risk appetite usually means stocks are going up and yen and dollar are going down and vice versa.

Hi Ashraft,

Would you please define risk appetite? I can't find a definition for this so often used term anyway. Thanks!

Ahsraf, does this look like gold is heading into downtrend, rather than retracement? If it is retracement, what level do you see as confirmation of downtrend?

thanks!

HD, not really. there are other support levels below which i mentioned. And it depends on your risk tolerance and margin limitations.

CAD figures coming up (PMI an Buidling Permits at 15:00 GMT). Watch USDCAD breaking towards 1.2430 and 1.2470 later today from current 1.2380.
