We should give it a few more days for bulls and bears to digest Friday’s drama, but my expectation is that the next big thrust will be higher rather than lower.  In the meantime, we can put in a stink bid at 1156.40, stop 1155.90, in case the March contract should swoon again.  That’s the Hidden Pivot midpoint of the pattern shown in the chart, and it would be invalidated by a move overnight above 1185.00, point ‘C’. That’s quite possible, since a very minor rally pattern in play at around 11 p.m. EST projected to 1188.80. ______ UPDATE (3:36 p.m. EST):  Another ugly day for the bullion bankers and commercials as Gold rallied a brisk $24 to peak at $1204.  The pullback has been too shallow to give the scoundrels any comfort, so look for them to inadvertently befriend bulls once again on Wednesday as they scramble for cover.
