The price of gold fell $11.9 dollars today, following yesterday’s $17 slide in the face of three consecutive days of trying to move above $893.0. It appears bulls simply lost momentum and the gold market lost ground throughout the day as the stock markets strengthened. The US dollar surged higher against all the major currencies and appears to have broken out of a consolidation triangle or is the process of testing the resistance on a quasi-ascending triangle. Either way, it appears that the least resistance for the dollar is higher. Full Story
Support is at the 200 day moving average of $869/oz for the June future and $865/oz for the continuous rolling contract and a breach of these levels will likely see technical selling down to the $850/oz level.

The price of gold fell $17.3 dollars today, after three consecutive days of trying to move above $893.0. It appears bulls simply lost momentum and the gold market lost ground throughout the day as the stock markets strengthened.

Gold and silver rose marginally in US trading yesterday and have largely traded sideways in Asian and European trading. Gold appears to be consolidating in the $865/oz to $900/oz region and needs a higher weekly close (above $883/oz) and then a close above $900/oz to look good from a technical perspective. Full Story

Obama’s message of hope for the US economy (while warning that the US economy was "by no means out of the woods just yet") has been met with indifference in equity markets which are down in Europe this morning. Wall Street is set for a mixed open (Intel’s lack of guidance is making the market nervous) which could see stocks under pressure again which should see gold well supported at these levels.
