From Corey Rosenbloom: Gold rallied strongly from the $1,120 low to the recent price target near $1,260. What’s the game plan now that we’re seeing a logical pullback within key levels?
We had a reversal buy signal – positive divergences + reversal candles at support – in December.
From there, price rallied as expected toward the prior price low and pivot target near $1,250 as highlighted.
At this point, we’re in a NEUTRAL zone via moving average compression.
Basically we’re seeing Gold come down from the upper Bollinger Band and the successfully achieved 200 day SMA just above $1,270.
Focus your attention – and develop your next trade – on the DEPARTURE away from the rising 50 day EMA and lower Bollinger Band® near the $1,220 target level.
I’ll be discussing more specifics and the emerging opportunities in this week’s Member Strategy Report.
