TREND ANALYSIS

I have been closely watching the gold price since early August. Though held off publishing my analysis because the probability for a bottom was deemed to be too low given the weak price patterns that subsequently resolved in a further break lower to $1167. So a reminder to my readers who eagerly await my analysis that there are times when the price patterns are just not clear enough to conclude in a high probability trend forecast.

However since $1167 the Gold price has shown it's strongest rally since the downtrend began off the mid April high, so an early indication for putting in a bottom, the confirmation of which would be on break above resistance at $1221.

RESISTANCE : There is heavy over head resistance between $1260 and $1300 that the Gold price is going to find tough to break through.

SUPPORT is at $1200, $1165, $1125 and then a more distant $1050.

TREND CHANNELS - The gold price has broken through a trend channel which should be supportive of gold prices for a few weeks at least.

Overall trend analysis paints a picture of a market stuck in a trading range with an upward bias with no signs for an imminent breakout higher. With the immediate trend implying a marginal correction lower.

MACD - The MACD has unwound some of its over sold state, and continues to allow for a rally of sorts over the next few weeks before likely resolving lower.

ELLIOT WAVES - Elliot wave pattern implies that the Gold price is now in a corrective Uptrend.
