Gold has lagged Silver, evidently taking its recent cues from crude oil.  Still, all of these trading vehicles are likely to continue moving higher until such time as World Peace breaks out and the The Bankers are marched in front of a firing squad.  Regarding Gold, it’s easy to make the case for 1580.00 on the 240-minute chart (see inset), but we should like to see a two-day close above the Hidden Pivot’s sibling midpoint, 1444.60, before our gaze shifts starward.  More immediately, we can use 1467.80 for a minimum short-term objective.  The target comes from the right-most ABCD pattern visible on the chart I’ve displayed, and it is subject to midpoint resistance at 1443.70, just $2 below the all-time high.  Once the pivot has been decisively exceeded that high will become a dead duck.
