In my opinion, the upward trend in gold remains intact; that despite the fact this pullback is deeper than what I thought, and what I wrote was probable.

Participants can now decide whether the trendline shown in the chart below (4hr) will hold, or whether another flush down to the yellow highlighted support area will occur.

I think support will hold, and that the spot price probably needs to consolidation between $1950-85 before the next leg up. If a dip to $1935 happens early next week, but is immediately reversed, then I would turn the bullishness on gold up yet another notch. That said a weekly close below $1935 spot would have me questioning the long side.

Bitcoin continues to hold up while momentum is increasingly oversold on the daily timeframe. Bears didn’t or couldn’t take the opportunity to knock bitcoin down yesterday morning as they did with gold. Again, I ask – What doesn’t go down must go up? I would still have preparation in place for a move down to the 200-day MA and trendline, but it seems that sellers are running out.

Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Jonathan Da Silva developed a passion for hard money and economics from a young age having been influenced by family who sought to teach me that "nothing is free", and the importance of intrinsic value early on. My interest in markets grew keener during the great financial crisis of 2008; leaning on family with vast trading experience, I began to self-educate on technical analysis and economics- drawing inspiration from the works of individuals like W.D. Gann and Adam Smith. I have been a proud member of the Kitco team since 2017 and hope that my writing inspires readers to consider an objective view of the metals, and the greater financial markets.
