9:30am:
Carrying forward from the weekly note, in the weekly gold is looking good to rebreathe up with the support of the turning indicators. We just hope Momentum will keep this up (i.e. not closing below 1255 + close above 1280). The challenge, though, is to pass the FOMC earthquake safely. (Weekly range: 120x to 130x/131x)
Daily: Momentum has picked up a beat, but still lacking. A good trader told me once, there is an anomaly, in that after a good closing on Friday, Asia is usually "dishoarding" (by taking profit action) to act as if it is resisting but spring board off higher later, then gold may poke higher just as the early Europeans join the market. (Intraday Pivot is at 1272.3, and it bounced from there). (Daily range: 124x - 129x)
The worry though (as momentum is still lacking), indicators have started to show weariness of the bull. The solution is a simple close above 128x, hopefully momentum can bring it there. If not, (let alone close below 1274), the indicators will "start" (still need to be confirmed) to look good to bring it down.
Intraday: The good news is morning open managed to beat the last high. Pivot at 1272.3 not broken yet, so it s a relief (for a few hours only). Hourly touch and close below 1270 may bleed the bulls, and may open the effects of O-bought-ness + divergence (which have been held up quite nicely for a few days). (Intraday range: 126x - 128x)
