Technicals | Apr 24 2012
After peaking last August above US$1900/oz gold has become a "trader's nightmare", the TechWizard suggests, appearing to break either up or down but not ultimately doing so.
The problem is that gold has been forming a large "triangle correction pattern". Such patterns are notorious for being money-losers as technical traders buy or sell the respective false break-out.
The good news is the pattern is nearing a resolution as it approaches the apex of the triangle. Soon there will be a break-out which this time will not be false. That means we should soon know where gold is going, and as far as the Wizard is concerned that direction is up.
