Gold Futures
Gold futures in the February contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,282 while currently trading at 1,298 up about $16 for the trading week looking to crack the critical January 4th high of 1,300 in my opinion. I have been recommending a bullish position from around the 1,252 level and if you took that trade continue to place the stop loss on a closing basis only at 1,278 which is also the 2-week low. Gold prices are still trading above its 20 and 100-day moving average as the trend remains higher, so I also have a bullish recommendation in platinum as we were stopped out of the silver trade earlier in the week which is disappointing as silver is sharply higher in today's trade. The U.S. dollar this Friday afternoon is down 70 points as that is undoubtedly helping gold and the entire precious metals rally sharply today so stay long and continue to place the proper stop loss as I think 1,350 could be in the cards relatively soon. Demand is starting to come back into gold as large money managed funds continue to be buyers as I believe a secular bullish trend is underway.
TREND: HIGHER
CHART STRUCTURE: EXCELLENT
VOLATILITY: LOW
