Gold: A sustained break above 1768 must be seen as the next buy signal
|Gold – Silver
Gold Spot had a 1 day consolidation phase holding the bull market high seen in May at 1762/64 & first support at 1744/42 perfectly. We wrote: we are not severely overbought & this is a strong bull trend. So shorts may actually be risky. A sustained break above 1768 must be seen as the next buy signal after the 2 month consolidation phase (very common in a bull markets)... Buy signal confirmed as we hit the first breakout target of 1773. Outlook remains positive.
Silver Spot bottomed 3 ticks above best support at 1760/50 & higher also of course, through 1760/50 to re-target 1780 & 1800/10. We topped exactly here over night but outlook remains positive.
