GOLD: Although Gold has halted its weakness and triggered a recovery for a second day in a row on a hammer formation, it will have to return above the 1,714.35 level to convince the market of further meaningful strength. If this occurs, additional recovery strength could build up towards the 1,802.75 level, its Nov’2011 high and possibly higher towards the 1,84 outlook on Gold 50 level. Its daily RSI is bullish and pointing higher supporting this view. On the downside, the risk to our upside outlook will be a return to the 1,627.50 level. Further down, support lies at the 1,601.10 level. We may see a respite here but if that fails to occur, further declines could follow towards the 1,522.55 level, its Dec 2011 low. A break of here will open the door for further weakness towards its psycho level at 1,500.00. All in all, Gold continues to hold on to its nearer term downside bias despite recovery.

Re: GOLD: Bounces Off Lower Prices, Faces Further Recovery Risk

The reason why the gold jumped on Friday divided for two: first, it reached a strong support (1525) in the weekly chart, that each time the metal touched this level it rose dozens of points. Second, the collapse of the stocks made the investors to transfer their money to instruments that considered more stable such as precious metals (although I don't think that gold is stable in the past 6 months) and this caused a sharp short-squeeze. The metal might continue to 1670 with the current momentum, but I believe that the general trend is bearish (descending triangle in the weekly chart), which means that we will see the gold under 1500 points soon.

GOLD: Tumbles Off the 1,632.85 Level, Risk Builds On Key Support

GOLD: GOLD has ended its corrective recovery as it tumbled off the 1,632.85 level on Monday and continues to sell off. This development now leaves the commodity targeting 1,557.30 level, its Jun 08’2012 low where a break will drive it further lower towards its key supports located at the 1,557/27 levels. A cut through will resume its broader medium term weakness and then pave the way for further declines towards the 1,500.00 level. Price hesitation could occur here but if that level gives way, expect Gold to decline further towards 1,478.05 level. Its daily RSI is bearish and pointing lower supporting this view. The alternative view will be the commodity to return above the 1,632.85 level thus opening the door for more upside towards the 1,670.70 level. Further out, resistance stands at the 1,700 level. All in all, GOLD continues to hold on to its broader medium term downside as it looks to resume that trend.

GOLD: Weakness Consistent With Its Broader Medium Downside Bias.

GOLD: With GOLD weak and vulnerable, further declines is likely towards the 1,546/41 levels. A cut through here will turn attention to the 1,527 level, its May 2012 low. While the 1,640/24 levels continue to hold as resistance levels, the above view remains valid. Below the 1,527 level will resume its broader medium term weakness and then pave the way for further declines towards the 1,500.00 level. Price hesitation could occur here but if that level gives way, expect Gold to decline further towards 1,478.05 level. Its daily RSI is bearish and pointing lower supporting this view. On the upside, the commodity will have to break back above the 1,624.45 level to reverse its bear threats. This will set the stage for a run at the 1640.45 level. Further out, resistance resides at the 1,670.70 level. All in all, GOLD continues to hold on to its broader medium term downside.
