A Hidden Pivot at 1272.60 is still our minimum upside objective for the near term — and, yes, it is frustrating that Gold, unlike stocks, is not moving effortlessly higher every night on short-covering into non-existent volume. Still, which would you rather own: shares or bullion? That’s what I thought. Please note that if 1272.60 falls easily — meaning, is exceeded by $1.00 or more within 15-20 minutes of first being touched — expect more upside thereafter to at least 1293.50.
