Near term prospects for Gold are showing distinct weakness, and its
entirely possible we'll cycle all the way down to a 'mere' $1200 later
this year.
Lets look at the near term outlook
GLD, weekly, 2yr
From the above chart, you can clearly see the long term 4 year trend
remains intact..just. Yet clearly, we're on the edge of a major channel
break. Arguably, a move below $1550, would likely mean Gold has a real
chance of reaching as low as $1200 later this year. The other two
support levels would likely only be reached in a severe deflationary
scenario - and right now, that seems near impossible considering the
continued QE/money printing from the central banks
Gold, monthly, 20yr historic
The long term trend for Gold remains truly amazing. Even a drop to the
$1200 level - as noted in the first chart, would NOT violate the long
term channel that Gold is in. Its a pretty remarkable decade long bull
run, and currently...unless we break $1200, the outlook is still very
positive.
Good wishes
