Technicals | May 30 2012
By Jamie Saettele, CMT, Sr. Technical Strategist, FXCM
“Gold has broken below a major trendline (and channel) that extends off of lows in 2008, 2010, and 2011. Focus is now on the December low at 1522.50 and then support from May 2011 and resistance from December 2010 at 1430/60.” Near term, the sideways trade since 5/16 may be a triangle. The implications are for several more sharp swings between recent extremes before a break to a fresh low. From a trading standpoint, trading in the middle of a correction is never a good idea (least amount of clarity).
