Gold Breakout Triggers Buy Signal. Is $3,000 Next Target?

Ninety days ago this cup & handle pattern was discussed on See It Market when gold was trading at 1717.
Fast-forward to today and gold is up 15%. So it’s time for an update.
As we pointed out 90 days ago, the initial price magnet for the rally was the 261.8 Fibonacci extension that marked the 2011 high at (1).
That high has served as price resistance for nearly nine years. But it may be turning into support now.
Gold has rallied sharply up the right side of the pattern and pushed past its 2011 highs. In fact, the “monthly” candle is currently attempting to break out, and should it hold, would target the next Fibonacci extension at (2).
As we pointed out 90 days ago, that target comes in at $3,000!
From an intermediate perspective, its important for gold that old resistance as new support!
