The Gold markets rallied quite nicely to kick off the week as the Americans and the Chinese have decided to call a cease-fire in the trade war. This has a bit of a “risk on” attitude in the markets, which of course helps the Gold markets as it hurts the US dollar.

Gold markets broke higher during the trading session on Monday, breaking above the 50 day EMA. We have a significant amount of resistance near the $1250 level above, which of course is a large come around, psychologically significant figure. If we do break above there, then we should reenter the longer-term consolidation which could have gold going as high as $1400. We obviously need more of a “risk on” attitude out there to get people to buy more gold, but at this point I think that markets are going to try to be positive towards the end of the year. That doesn’t mean that it’s going straight up in the air, but I think at this point we will probably see buyers step in on short-term charts that show signs of support.

I think at this point, it’s obvious that the Gold markets will continue to be very jittery due to headlines, it of course as we get close to the end of the year liquidity may dry up a bit. At this point though, it looks as if the $1250 level is the key to clarity. If we can break that level to the upside, that would be extraordinarily strong and could send this market much higher. If we break down below the $1200 level, I think at that point we could be looking at a move down to the $1000 level based upon historical charts.
