1pm update - Gold set for another burst higher

Gold was down $11 in the early morning, but its recovered again. There is gap resistance around GLD 143, if that can be closed over, it opens up another $3-4 next week. It would then seem likely that a very large bear flag - with a double gap fill, will be complete.


GLD, daily


Summary

*very little change in main indexes, hence a little diversion with Gold

I can't see GLD putting in any series of closes >148, and that will probably make for extreme resistance next week. The SLV chart looks largely the same, except a much weaker bounce.
--

I never trade GLD actually, Silver is twice as volatile (usually), and makes for much more dynamic trades.

As for the main indexes, there remains the real threat of latter day recovery/melt.

STX (seagate) still -5%, a few more days of downside look somewhat likely.
