Gold Analysis As At August 14, 2015

Is Gold Starting to Move Up or Is This A False Start?

It may well be that it is time to re examine your gold trading strategy as there may be some opportunities very soon.
You will see some interesting things in these charts and also in the articles lower on the page. The devaluation of the Yuan and the increased position in Gold by China have excited the metal.

This first chart is a monthly chart on Gold showing three drives to the bottom and that will be a bullish pattern.







Today, price met the pivot and reversed.


The resistance is in the 25% retracement area, which leads me to wonder if this reversal is very strong. Perhaps we will know next week if this is a retrace and that we will see a stronger advance.

The Ichimoku chart demonstrates that a great rise in price will encounter a lot of resistance as price meets the Ichimoku cloud. There has been downward pressure on the price of Gold for many months, only for a short time could it attempt to push through the cloud.

Here is the Point and Figure chart for Gold, it is not showing any great signs of an advance.
