IC Trade: Gold

TRADING IDEA: Wait for a bottom to develop before going long of the yellow metal
March 26, 2008

Gold's bull run is taking another breather. Possible support exists close by at around $906 and $891. There is some risk of a deeper pull-back to $840-$790, to complete a larger fourth-wave correction.

IC TIP: Hold

Momentum has turned negative and leaves scope for further downside from here. Once there is evidence of a bottom, we will seek to go long, targeting a return to the recent highs at $1,017.50 and beyond. In the longer-term, $1,496 is a key target.
