In Keeping with a Theme here at Rambus Chartology, let's look in on the complex game being played on the chess board that is the Precious Metals Market:
Today I would like to show you some charts from the bull and bear side of the equation for gold. This is called an inflection point where the precious metals complex can move either way and establish some sort of short to intermediate term move. A lot of these charts you have seen before. Let's start with the bearish charts for gold which there are a lot to look at. Before we do this I just want to make it perfectly clear that I’m still in the bear camp but as you will see we could have a short to intermediate rally that fits into this scenario that doesn’t change the bigger picture.
Gold fanlines: As you can see, gold is now trading above fanline #4 and below the heavy black dashed support and resistance rail or neckline. The price action is moving out toward the apex of the two rails with the bottom fanline #4 at 1220 and the heavy black dashed S&R rail which comes in around the 1250 area. There are now just 30 points that separate these two trendlines. We could witness some violent moves within the apex until one side wins out.
Or, if we get a rally back up to the top of the trading range at 1425 and have another decline back to the bottom at 1180 or so, which could then start a 5th reversal point which would then make this trading range a possible 5 point rectangle reversal pattern to the upside, if the price action can take out the top rail at 1425. That’s just speculation right now but it’s a remote possibility in a bullish scenario.
This should get you up to speed on what to expect with gold at this very important inflection point. Do we get a tradeable rally from right here or do we just go ahead and crash and get it over with. Or is it checkmate?
Stay tuned. Things are really starting to get interesting.
