In honor of U.S. independence, gold is exploding and has tested the highs made last week when it saw a blow-off top. On Tuesday, gold was holding our support levels and was steadily rallying. Suddenly towards the close of the trading day, the rally was on and gold closed at $1,421.
In the overnight session, which begins at 6 EDT gold, was celebrating U.S. independence and traded as high as $1,441. The buyers couldn’t get in fast enough and as always happens, the excitement subsided, and the sellers came in, creating equilibrium to the market.
This morning, gold is trading around $1,428 and looks ready to continue to rally. Our expectations are to see gold consolidate; the spike rally was not a total surprise with gold bouncing from support. There is a solid trading range between $1,380 and $1,450, which should continue for a week or two.
We are bullish and will buy the bottom end of the range as we prepare for gold to make a run at $1,500 and beyond. The fireworks are real, but don’t be surprised if there aren’t a few duds along the way and a couple of sell-offs to shake out the weak hands.
