Gold has impaled a significant midpoint Hidden Pivot resistance at 1686.50 with this morning’s strong upthrust, clearing an easy path for more upside to D=1750.70. This tout updates an earlier one that displayed the wrong chart, but it also has given me an opportunity to acknowledge the very bullish price action witnessed in the last two hours. The pattern will yield excellent odds for bottom-fishing any swoons with a ‘mechanical’ bid, but if the opportunity fails to develop we can still buy on the way up using other tactics (which could conceivably include a small-pattern ‘mechanical’ entry).
