On the 1st March, I began identifying the short-term Gold bull trend and I wrote:
Gold XAU/USD is in a 2-week bull trend and beat last week's high on Friday at 2041/42 for a buy signal.
We hit the target and resistance at 2049/50 for a potential 7-point profit if you managed to buy the breakout.
Now Gold must hold above 2041/37 to maintain the short-term bull trend.
2nd March: Gold made a low for the day on Friday exactly at the buy level of 2041/37
At last it all came together after such a long period of sideways inaction and as I promised it was worth waiting for the breakout. From 2041/37, we shot higher to the 2065 target and as far as 2088. I do favour a push higher so I would take a break above 2090 as a buy signal for Monday targeting 2097/99, perhaps as far as 2106/08.
21 March: Gold completed the triangle consolidation pattern after making a low for the period exactly at my buying opportunity at 2147/42.
The break above 2164 was my buy signal yesterday targeting 2179/80 and the all-time high at 2192/94.
The break above all-time high of 2192/94 was the next buy signal and we have reached $2222. Further gains are expected eventually to 2240, 2250/52 and 2260.
Gold XAU/USD: higher again as predicted as we wrote on Friday: A break above 2315 targets 2325 then 2340/45.
Silver XAG/USD broke minor support at 2680/70 and tumbled to just 6 ticks above my next downside target of 2620/00. That worked if you shorted the break lower but unfortunately, it was just above my buying opportunity at 2620/00.
WTI Crude MAY future
We remain buyers on any weakness with support at 8600/8580 and 8500/8480. Both buy levels need a 40 tick stop loss.
