I doubted it would happen on this attempt. It may be the continuing weakening dollar/strong yen and events in the Middle East (Qatar), but whatever it is, gold has broken out of it’s bullish symmetrical triangle. Three scenarios going forwards ….

  1. ) False breakout, and we sink back into the triangle – very bearish
  2. ) Return for a backtest of the breakout (maybe after temporary resistance at $1300), then up and away – very bullish
  3. ) Up and away with no looking back – very bullish.

Some charts to ponder…

 

And a reminder of that cycle chart that someone posted a while back (sorry I can’t remember who)

So far, so good.
