Gold: How High Is High

click chart to enlarge


This must be a hot topic today and to leave it uncovered would be foolish even though we suspect everyone has asked everyone what sparked the gold rally of Tuesday November 3.

It is especially fetching in that it did it all on its own, meaning without the aid of a drop in the U.S. Dollar. The prime reason we have found cited for the move is the Central Bank of India’s reported purchase of 200 tons of Gold from the IMF. Analysts consider this a clear sign of demand as central banks around the world replace some portion of U.S currency holdings with Gold.

Other incidentals included talk that the Gold companies such as Anglo American would be liquidating their hedge books, but likely over a period of time lasting well into 2010 according to what we have read.

Our chart included above shows the next Fibonacci extension targets. The .750 level is approximately 109150.

Final note on this is to be cautious with new or additional purchases at lofty levels such as these. We have seen it before where when things look most bullish the high price is made.

Good trading to all
