As of right now, the HUI is back inside the weekly Ichimoku cloud.  I would like to see a weekly close inside the cloud.

I have pointed out that it is very uncommon for price to penetrate a flat cloud border when approaching from below or above, as it did last week in the HUI.  If price does penetrate such a border, it is typically a headfake and is generally quickly reversed.

Gold is in the same boat regarding its weekly cloud.  A close above 1770 by Friday would be amazing and would validate just how strong cloud support typically is.  That being said, it’s obviously not a 100% guaranteed technical indicator, and the PMs have a way of violating technical rules more than anything I have seen (maybe currencies are worse).
